The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 465

Inside the coffee shop, Tessa gazed outside the window. Dylan had been gone for a while now, so he should be back soon.

Every time a car stopped, Tessa would check to see if it was Dylan. Suddenly, she spotted something that made her open her eyes wide.

Wasn't that Matthew? He had actually showed up again, and he even brought a woman with him!

It was obvious from first glance that she was such a slut. Why did she wear a tight shirt that highlighted her chest? Clearly, she was trying to seduce a man.

Tessa couldn't help but mutter, "You bitch! What a pair of scumbags. Both of you are despicable."

Matthew was about to leave with the woman, but Dylan still hadn't returned. Upon seeing this, Tessa quickly got up to her feet and ran out of the coffee shop to chase after Matthew.

Dylan wasn't back yet, but Tessa was confident with herself as a novice cultivator. She believed that it'd be a walk in the park to defeat someone like Matthew who barely knew how to fight.

Tessa sprinted to the door of Gembrooke Building and finally caught up with Matthew. Without hesitation, she stood in front of him and blocked his path.

Tessa? As Matthew was about to enter the building, he was startled when he saw Tessa. His smile turned into a grim expression.

"What do you want?"

Upon seeing Matthew in person, Tessa was visibly upset. She recalled every scene of her apologizing to him, begging for forgiveness, and dropping to her knees. Despite everything, he still didn't forgive her.

After kneeling so many times and putting up with all this humiliation, it was time for some payback. "We need to settle our score, Matthew."

Was there anything to hash out? Matthew was amused. "What score?"

Tessa sneered. "I messed up. You went to prison for me, so I shouldn't be ungrateful and bring up a divorce right after you finish your sentence. But putting that aside, let's be reasonable.

"As a woman, I said sorry and even got on my knees for forgiveness. Why couldn't you forgive me? Why did you keep putting me down?"

If the facts were off the table, then what was there to talk about?

Matthew was entertained. "After the divorce, I have never contacted you. You were the one who came to me and begged for my forgiveness on your knees. How is it my fault?"

Tessa's expression turned grim. "Yes, I was the one begging you, but why won't you forgive me? You're clearly just trying to humiliate me."

Forgiveness? Matthew scoffed. "I served three years in prison for you, and you filed a divorce. What should I be forgiving you for?

Tessa suddenly yelled and slammed her fist into Matthew's stomach. He staggered a bit but stayed in place.

Tessa grinned menacingly. "Here's my third punch. I'm going to put everything into it."

Right after she spoke, Tessa hurled another punch that whistled through the air. She aimed at Matthew's cheek this time. But before her fist could hit its target, a loud smack hit her right across the face.

Her frail body was knocked back over ten feet before crashing hard to the ground.

The impact left Tessa seeing stars and her ears ringing. The fall left her completely disoriented. Half of her face was swollen, hurting like it was on fire. Tears started rolling down her cheeks.

Matthew slowly made his way over to Tessa. Every footstep landed on the ground felt like a heavy drumbeat pounding on her heart, which ramped up her fear.

Tessa was shaken up from the slap. At this moment, she realized how ridiculous it was to think of herself as tough. She never thought she couldn't even handle one slap from Matthew.

When Tessa saw Matthew coming toward her, she mumbled, "Don't come any closer."

As Matthew came right up to Tessa, he crouched and yanked her hair to lift her up. "I ignored you and let you hit me two times. Now, you actually think you're so tough just because of that. A mighty one who can't even handle a man's slap?"
