The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 147

Looking at his daughter's pretty face clouded with sadness, Matthew felt a pang of guilt. "Lori, I was wrong. I'll tuck you in tonight."

Lorraine nodded and hummed softly. Then, she suddenly remembered something and blinked her big eyes, asking, "Dad, where's the pretty mommy you found for me?"

Matthew was momentarily stunned before he realized that she was referring to Rachel. "Do you miss her?"

Lorraine nodded. "Yes. Can you bring her with you when you pick me up from school today?"

Seeing the hopeful look in his daughter's eyes, Matthew couldn't bear to refuse. "Okay, I promise."

After brushing Lorraine's hair, Matthew took her to school.

At the guesthouse, Cosmo clutched his stomach. "Jenny, I'm hungry. Aren't you hungry?"

Jenny handed him a glass of water. "Drink some water."

Cosmo frowned in response. "I already drank three glasses of water. Why don't we order some takeout?"

Jenny shook her head. "Just bear with it a little longer."

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Jenny asked, "Who is it?"

"It's me," came Matthew's voice from outside.

Jenny went to open the door but was held back by Cosmo. "He didn't even say who he was, and you're going to let him in? Didn't you say it was dangerous?"

Jenny smiled and replied, "He's the person who saved your life."

Cosmo got excited and ran to open the door himself. When he saw Matthew, he didn't say anything. He just looked up at him quietly. It was as if he was trying to memorize Matthew's face.

Jenny welcomed him in. "Matt, come in quickly."

Matthew set down the breakfast he had brought. "I've thought of a way to get you guys out of danger."

Jenny's eyes lit up. All she wanted at that moment was to be free of danger. "What is it?"

Matthew leisurely entered the room, pulled out the forged copy of Medieval Medicine, and handed it to her. "Whoever wants this book, just give it to them."

This was the solution he came up with the night before—give up the root of the problem to live a peaceful life.

Jenny nodded. "Okay, I will."

Thus, she just waited anxiously.

Jeffrey put down his coffee cup. Seeing how nervous Tessa was, he smiled. "Don't be nervous. I heard that you're Matthew's wife?"

Tessa frowned and answered cautiously, "I used to be. We divorced a few days ago."

The smile on Jeffrey's face disappeared as he asked coldly, "Do you not hate him? I can help you vent your anger."

Tessa gritted her teeth, seething with anger at the mention of Matthew's name. He refused to help her despite having ten billion dollars.

He showed not the slightest regard for their time together.

Still, she couldn't understand why the heir of Smith Group would want to help her. It was too unusual.

"Why would you help me?"

Jeffrey replied coldly, "My reasons are none of your concern. All you need to know is that I can help you."

Tessa thought of her financial troubles. "What I need most right now is financial support for my company. You…"

She wanted to ask if he could help with that.
