The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 771

Glancing at Alistair on the ground, Matthew remarked, "Alistair doesn't look like he's dying anytime soon. I'm just a passerby, and making this call is all I can do. I don't want to get into any more trouble."

The woman on the other end shouted again, "Don't hang up. I'm begging you. We're not trying to scam anyone. We just need your help keeping an eye on him. You don't have to do anything. Just sit back and watch over him. If something happens, please get in touch with me."

After some thought, Matthew decided that having Caleb monitor Alistair was less effective than getting up close himself. It might help him uncover clues about The Misfortune's Veil.

With that thought in mind, Matthew deliberately responded in resignation, "Alright. Just hurry up and get here. I'll be waiting here."

Alistair felt itchy and uncomfortable, but he kept his ear open to hear what Matthew said. In the end, he concluded from the way Matthew talked that he wasn't actually Matthew. Only then did Alistair feel at ease.

An hour later, Giselle Draper came over in a cab. She looked like she was in her early 60s and was dressed modestly like a typical country woman.

When she saw how badly hurt Alistair was, she broke down in tears and begged Matthew for help to take Alistair to the hospital.

Matthew didn't turn her down and went to the hospital with her.

…

The next morning, the doctor moved Alistair from the emergency room to the ward.

After a long night, the doctor looked worn out. "That patient is still in a coma. After the anesthesia wears off, he should wake up."

Seeing Alistair still unconscious, Giselle grew more concerned. "How's Alistair doing now, doctor?"

The doctor sported a smile. "What a stroke of luck that someone broke open the welts and got the venom out before he was sent to the hospital. If not for the emergency treatment, he wouldn't have made it. You should thank that doctor."

After saying that, the doctor walked away.

At the mention of his daughter, Alistair's eyes lit up with joy. "I'd love to see her too."

Giselle suddenly remembered something and pointed at Matthew, introducing him to Alistair, "You made it through thanks to him, Alistair. Go on, and say thanks."

Squinting his eyes, Alistair looked closely at Matthew. When he could finally make out Matthew's face, he froze in shock.

Matthew! This man wasn't his lifesaver at all. It was his target.

Thinking back to how Matthew had ruthlessly wiped out the members of other teams in The Misfortune's Veil, the fear of death gripped him. Alistair felt like prey facing a predator with nowhere to run.

He shouted in terror, "D-Don't kill me… H-Have mercy. Please!"
