At once, everyone nodded and bowed slightly to greet Dominic. In their village, he had status and power that were greater than the chief of the village.
Glancing at the new visitor, Matthew couldn’t help but smile as he turned out to be one of the patients he had treated.
Hurriedly, Dennis rushed to greet Dominic. “Mr. Garrison, you’re finally here. Come in and have a seat. I’ll have a few drinks with you today, what do you say?”
Without sparing him a glance, Dominic arrogantly walked in.
At once, Ed’s mother carried over a chair with great struggle. “Mr. Harrison, please take a seat.”
Nodding, Dominic was about to sit when he saw Matthew. Instantly, he was stunned and his expression quickly changed.
Astonished, everyone watched as Dominic rushed toward Matthew. “Director Larson, wh-what are you doing here?” his voice quavered. “I didn’t know you were coming. If I had known, I would’ve arrived earlier.”
At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded, and even Dennis was confused. “Mr. Garrison, do you know him?”
Immediately, Dominic glared at him. “Why wouldn’t I know him? This is Director Larson of the North District Hospital. He is in charge of the hospital’s Emergency Department. I almost died from alcohol poisoning one time, and it was Director Larson who saved my life. He’s my savior, so how could I not know him?”
Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished. Meanwhile, Dennis was at a loss of words. “You’re not joking? He-He really is a doctor? How is that possible? There is no way.”
At that moment, everyone was mortified, especially those who had made snarky remarks about Matthew. They all had their heads lowered in embarrassment.
