The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)
Chapter 44

Matthew didn't hide the truth from Rachel. He said starightforwardly, "Your parents don't like me. I think it's because I'm an ex-convict and have been married before." Rachel stared at Matthew with her beautiful eyes. Her gaze made him feel awkward.

After a while, she said, "I think your biggest advantage is that you've been to prison before."

Matthew was confused. What was she saying? Did Rachel have some weird preferences?

He couldn't help but ask, "What do you mean? Do you like ex-convicts?"

He had heard that women liked men in uniform, men who liked working out, and men who were a bit bad. Did Rachel like a bad guy who had gone to prison before? Rachel rolled her eyes at Matthew. "There's nothing wrong with my brain. Why would I like ex-convicts?"

Matthew nodded. Rachel sounded like a normal person, but that made him even more confused. "Why did you say that my advantage is that I've been to prison before?"

Rachel shook her head. She seemed to replace it a pity that Matthew was clueless. Slowly, she said, "You went to prison on behalf of your wife. It proves that you're a responsible man. "This is your biggest strength, in my opinion. The rest are flaws..."

At the mention of flaws, Rachel recalled that Matthew had made up her condition and said that she needed a man to get with her for treatment.

Rachel was furious and embarrassed.

Matthew felt complicated. He had become a convict because of Tessa, yet she had asked him for divorce.

On the other hand, Rachel was a bystander, but she appreciated his effort. Both were women, yet they were completely different.

Half-jokingly, Matthew said, "Do you mean that you like me because of this strength?"

Rachel blushed. She had to admit that, because of that, she had even thought about what she would have done if Matthew had done it for her. She would never leave him.

Nevertheless, due to her pride, Rachel couldn't tell him that.

A while of silence later, she said, "I want to continue this relationship."

Matthew nodded. Rachel's words were reasonable. Suddenly, he thought of something. "By the way, I can't marry into your family. I need to take care of my parents and my daughter. I can't let them live with your family." Once he married into the Carter family, he would lose his freedom. He would be away from his family, too. He couldn't do that.

Rachel smiled. "I was only saying that. I won't let you marry into my family. I don't want to live with them either. It's exhausting to always be on guard."

Matthew looked at Rachel. Initially, he had thought that she was gradually becoming out of reach. Now, she was at the same level as him again.

Rachel was a bit excited. "I'll go to bed now."

Matthew immediately got in bed and got close to Rachel. He could smell her fragrance as he looked at her soft skin. She had a beautiful figure, too. She looked alluring. Surprised, she leaned back on the bed. "You're doing it again."

As Rachel leaned back, her chest was raised, almost bursting through her clothes.

Matthew was short of breath. "What do you mean?"

With her face flushed, Rachel said, "Whatever. I'm going to sleep."

She reached out to turn off the lights. She pulled the covers up to cover herself and lay on one side of the bed.

She stuck close to the side of the bed, putting some distance between her and Matthew.

Matthew felt hot. He couldn't fall asleep at all. Unwilling to give up, he asked in a soft voice, "I have a question. If you've never eaten a tomato before, will you know its taste?" Upon hearing that, Rachel was confused. The question was too out of the blue. In the dark, she heard Matthew's heavy breathing. Her heart started to pound. "I don't know." Matthew asked again, "If you've never eaten a cucumber before, will you know its taste?"

Rachel became even more curious. "I don't know. What are you trying to say?"

Matthew smiled. It was a smile that only men would understand the meaning of.

"The same goes for men. If you don't have any experience, you won't know what a man tastes like. I'm already in your bed. Don't miss out on this chance."

In the dark, Rachel gritted her teeth angrily. Matthew was too shameless. How could he say such things?

Before this, he had even deceived her by claiming that it was for her treatment. Now, he had said it directly. "You've finally said your motive."

With a smile, Matthew said, "I knew you would misunderstand me. I'm actually doing it for your health.

"As a doctor, I feel anxious as I can't treat you, even though I know there's something wrong with your body."
