Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 340

Previously, Matthew had brought Sasha to the food stall which was owned by Mr. John, who had a daughter named Ellie John.

She was two years younger than him and they were neighbors when he first moved to Eastcliff. Back then, she loved to tag behind him, but in the blink of an eye, she had blossomed into a fine young lady. However, what was she doing here?

The woman in front of her was as enraged as a cat whose tail had been stepped on and was yelling at her. "Are you blind? Can't you see that I'm standing here? How could you bump into me?" Still, the woman was furious. "There's no point in apologizing. You must be blind! Do you know how much my dress is worth? An apology isn't going to cut it! Stop bullsh*ting and compensate me!" Ellie stammered as she spoke, "How about if I-I clean it for you..."

"Can't you tell that this is a luxury dress? It's worthless now that there's red wine all over it. I don't want to waste my time with you. This dress cost 170,000 so pay up, or I'll call the police on you!" she shouted. Stunned, Ellie never imagined that a dress could be this expensive! So, she hurriedly said, "Madam, t-this dress can still be worn after cleaning..."

"Nonsense!" the woman bellowed. "Nobody washes a luxury dress!"

The crowd who had gathered around started mumbling, "Looking at the way she dresses, it's easy to tell that she doesn't even know what a luxury item is! Where did she come from wearing those shabby clothes? How could such a person appear at such an important medical conference?"

Ellie's face was scarlet as she said timidly, "Madam, I-I was standing still here earlier. You're the one who backed up and bumped into me. Y-You can't pin the blame on me..."

Glaring at her, she shouted, "So you mean it's my fault? Fine, should I call the security officer over and ask for the security footage to see who is responsible?"

Looking horrified, Ellie quickly said, "T-There's no need for that, but I really don't have that much money."

In another bout of anger, the woman burst out, "No money? I'll have to call the police then, and you'll pay with jail time! In life, one has to atone for the mistakes they make!"

Another woman who was watching bobbed her head and interjected, "That's right! There are societal rules after all. You'll have to shoulder your mistakes and don't expect people to shed pity on you by just acting pathetic. That will just make you seem irresponsible.

I've seen one too many people like you who acts one way in front of somebody's face and another when the back is turned. You may look pathetic to the eyes, but you're actually rotten on the inside and don't deserve any pity at all."

Almost driven to tears, Ellie cried, "Madam, I-I came here for something important. I-I'll save up and definitely pay you back when I'm finished here."

The woman shook her head and said aggressively, "No, you either pay now, or I'll call the police! It's only 170,000 so don't tell me you don't have it! In this time and age, everyone should have this amount of money. Are you a beggar? Even the beggars on the streets have that amount on their bank cards.”

A round of laughter burst out from the people watching. To them, 170,000 was merely pocket money which they didn't care about.

With tears in her eyes, Ellie cried, "Madam, I-I really don't have that much money now. I'll return it to you later. Will that do?"

"I already told you no!" she lashed out at her. "Forget it, I don't want to waste my time with you. I'm calling the police!"

With that, she whisked out her cellphone and Ellie fell to her knees with a loud thud at the sight of that.

"Madam, I'm begging you! I-I really have something urgent to attend to. I need to save someone. Please give me a chance and I'll definitely pay you back."

Everyone was taken aback, not expecting that she would suddenly go down on her knees.
