The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 742

Thomas became furious when he heard how Caleb spoke. "But she lost 28 times consecutively! She used to win most of the time when she played, you know? It'd be weirder if she didn't cry about it.

"Couldn't you have gone easy on her since she's so much older than you?"

But Caleb shrugged in return, saying, "There is no room for family ties when you're gambling, and even my own mother wouldn't stand a chance—let alone an old lady!"

Thomas was so mad that his face flushed red. He wanted to say something but decided against it. Then, he turned to Matthew and said, "There's nothing else for me to say then, Matthew. I'll take my leave first."

Matthew followed him out and said, "I'm so sorry for that. I never thought things would turn out like this. Comfort your grandmother—I'll have a word or two with my colleague for being inconsiderate."

At that, Thomas waved his hand. "Alright, alright. I'll leave first."

Matthew waved back to bid him goodbye before returning to the yard, staring at Caleb speechlessly. He didn't think that Caleb would go so hard on an old lady after he forbade him from playing it big.

Seeing how Matthew kept staring at him, Caleb asked carefully, "Did I do something wrong?"

Caleb had always been careful and meticulous whenever he worked for Matthew because he was scared that it would anger the latter.

He didn't want to make a mistake just shortly after Matthew accepted and allowed him to hang around him, but Matthew felt that he came off a little too harsh when he saw Caleb's expression.

Matthew remembered how he would always avoid his stern-looking superiors when he first started work.

Thinking of that, Matthew chuckled and said, "There's nothing wrong with gambling with an old lady."

Having heard that, Caleb let out a long sigh of relief, feeling his body relax as well.

Caleb hadn't only decided to join Matthew because of his gratitude toward him, but it was also because he didn't have much of a choice.

He was a gambling expert with a special trait, which involved the cameras he planted and used. Because of this, he was afraid that there would be someone else who set their sights on him and would kidnap his wife and children to threaten him again.

Matthew frowned. He was waiting for the assassins from The Misfortune's Veil and the Fuller family from Mistvale City to come after him.

Now that Rachel was troubled, he felt that it must be the Fuller family who had taken action. "What do you mean by that?"

Rachel answered with much worry, "The rehabilitation hospital filed a lawsuit against Silvaris Pharmaceuticals and said that the drug we produced caused fatal reactions in a patient."

It was from Silvaris Pharmaceuticals that the spark between Matthew and the Fuller family was ignited. Could it be a retaliation from the Fuller family?

Matthew went deep into thought. The Fuller family always used to settle things by hiring assassins or martial artists to finish him off. Yet, they had chosen to switch up their tactics and take the legal path this time.

Since they couldn't override them with force, they would crush them with reason. This time, Matthew wouldn't need to take action personally.

He said, "They can file a lawsuit for all I care. Just form a team with some good lawyers and slowly fight them off in court."
