The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)
Chapter 56

Leah's words hit Mike like a slap in the face.

Mike was a distinguished doctor with a Ph.D. Yet here he was, being told that his medical skills weren't up to Matthew's.

He had even been told that he should learn from Matthew, who had no formal qualifications. Mike was so furious that he trembled, unable to speak. On the other hand, Matthew felt much better.

Leah not only deeply cared for James but also had a heart full of gratitude. Matthew felt compelled to help her.

He retrieved his phone and wrote a prescription, then showed the screen to Leah.

"Here's the prescription. Your husband's condition wasn't caused by the willow bark extract. It's because the doctor in charge gave the wrong medication.

"Follow this prescription, and he'll be fine after a few medications. There's no need for him to stay in the hospital."

Leah took out her phone. "Got it. Thank you. I can't remember all that. Let's exchange numbers so you can send it to me."

Matthew nodded, added her as a contact, and sent her the prescription.

Leah received the message and immediately transferred 8,888 dollars to Matthew.

Matthew shook his head and pretended not to notice it.

In the past, he would've accepted it. Having been an entrepreneur, he knew how hard it was to earn money, and every dollar was important to him. It would be better if he could secure higher fees. During his time in prison, he would charge wealthy clients millions-even hundreds of millions of dollars, for his medical treatments.

Nevertheless, he was reluctant to accept Leah's payment. Helping her was rewarding enough. A woman like her deserved to live a happy life with her loved ones.

After Leah transferred the money, she turned to Rachel.

"Our lifesaver said my husband ended up in a vegetative state because the hospital's doctor made a mistake. I don't falsely accuse people. It's not your fault, so I won't ask you to pay. Sorry for the trouble." Rachel replied with a smile, "Thank you for understanding. There's no need to apologize. It feels like I've made a new friend through this. Here, let's exchange numbers."

Rachel was particularly happy that the problem had been resolved.

After the two added each other as contacts, Rachel wrote a check for 80 thousand dollars for Leah, noting it as a gift for James and his family.

On it were four words, "Congratulations on your recovery."

Leah hesitated to accept it. "Ms. Carter, I can't accept your money."

Rachel added, smiling, "This is to congratulate your husband on his recovery. It's bad luck not to accept it. Take it."

Despite Leah's repeated refusals, she eventually accepted the gift because of Rachel's persistence.

Matthew gave them some advice on dietary issues for the future. Then, he helped the family pack their belongings and watched them leave as they entered the elevator. Upon seeing that the matter was resolved, Jeffrey extended his hand to shake Rachel's.

"Congrats. It's finally over. I'd like to treat you to a meal to celebrate."

Matthew thought it was incredulous. What did it have to do with Jeffrey? He was acting as though he had solved the problem.

Matthew directly rejected Jeffrey on Rachel's behalf, saying, "Rachel won't be dining with someone who can't see the truth."

Jeffrey's expression slightly shifted. "Excuse me?" he retorted with anger.

Matthew replied bluntly, "I mentioned I could solve the problem without spending a cent. And you said you'd be blind to think I could do it. Well, I've done it. So, if you're not blind, then who is?" Jeffrey's face turned stern and pale. He had indeed said that before, but he had never expected Matthew to pull it off. Now he had to deal with it.

Having been born into the Smith family, Jeffrey had always held himself in high regard and looked down on ordinary people. He had even less respect for Matthew and believed him to be a nobody. Jeffrey seethed with anger upon being humiliated by someone he looked down on.

"Matthew, there are people who are out of your league, and there are those you should never mess with."
