The Great Medical Saint
Chapter 16

"Get back together?" Matthew repeated the words with a hint of mockery.

He let out a cold laugh. "I begged you not to divorce me, Tessa. I pleaded for Lorraine's sake. But you insisted on leaving. I told you then that you'd regret your decision, but you thought I was joking." Tessa's voice trembled as she shouted, "Matthew, I was out of my mind back then. I wasn't thinking straight. I regret it now. Let's get remarried!"

Matthew shook his head slowly. "You regret it now? There's no magic fix for that."

He then turned and walked toward the villa, thoroughly disappointed in Tessa. His steps were resolute and decisive.

Tessa felt her world collapse as she watched him walk away.

She burst into tears, wailing, "Matthew, I know you love me! Remember when you first got out of prison? You smiled and walked toward me, wanting to hug me. "That proves you love me! I know I was wrong. Matthew, please don't go,.I beg you..."

Matthew didn't stop despite her pleads. As he disappeared from view, Tessa's sobs subsided. She stood up slowly and stared at the villa with its closed curtains. "Matthew, you obviously still love me. I've already apologized, so why won't you remarry me?

"Have you ever thought about how the divorce would affect Lorraine? Just wait, I'll make sure we get back together!"

Inside the villa, Matthew sat in silence. Fred brought over a cup of tea. "Matthew, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I might not have made it."

Matthew accepted the tea. "You're welcome. However, there are a few things I need to remind you of.

"No more mental workload, and you can't stay up late. You must avoid getting too excited and refrain from emotional extremes."

Fred frowned. What Matthew suggested might be easy for most people, but not for him. Although the Wealthwave Group seemed prosperous on the outside, it had problems. The biggest issue was the lack of a suitable successor. The Carter family's male descendants were all incompetent.

Rachel was the only capable one, but being a woman, she faced resistance from the others.

Fred's eyes brightened as he looked at Matthew. "Rachel is returning to Khoitwood tomorrow. Can you accompany her to meet her parents?"

The point wasn't whether or not they met Rachel's parents. After all, as the head of the family, Fred could decide on Rachel's marriage.

His real aim was to have Matthew help Rachel secure her position as the president of Wealthwave Group.

Matthew hesitated. "I've only been out for a few days and haven't spent enough time with my parents. Plus, I need to take Lorraine to kindergarten every day."

Fred smiled. "I'll play chess with your dad and take Lorraine to kindergarten for you tomorrow. Don't worry about it."

Matthew glanced at Rachel. "We've only just started seeing each other. Isn't it a bit soon to meet her parents?"

Fred chuckled. "Frankly speaking, I think it's moving too slowly. It's been days, and you two aren't even officially a couple yet. We need to speed things up!"

Rachel, who had grown to understand Matthew better over the past few days, believed he was a good man. Besides, Fred had always spoken highly of him, and she trusted Fred's judgment. Her beautiful eyes focused on Matthew, eagerly awaiting his response.

Since all his concerns had been addressed, Matthew had no reason to refuse. "Alright, I'll go to Khoitwood."

With that, Matthew stood up to head home. He needed to discuss this with Stanley and Lilian.

After seeing Matthew off, Fred earnestly advised Rachel, "This trip to Khoitwood is your chance to get closer to Matthew. Solidify your relationship with him."
