Master of Medicine The Saintly Healer

That night, Matthew waited until Lorraine was asleep before quietly leaving her room. When he came to the living room, he found that his parents had also gone to bed.

Thus, Matthew returned to his room and switched on the bedside lamp. He then pulled out the envelope from his pocket. Ansel had said this was the first task Nicholas had given him.

Nicholas had always been a mystery. Matthew wanted to know more about him, but his mentor never spilled the beans. This only made Matthew more curious about the first task Nicholas had assigned to him.

Matthew held the corner of the envelope and carefully ripped it open. The ripping noise echoed in the silent room.

He extracted the letter folded inside and nervously opened it.

The letter read, “Matthew, someone once saved me when I was in trouble in the past. Besides teaching him medical skills, I gave him the Tiger Seal that symbolizes the King of Medicine’s legacy.

“Since you’re my successor, you should retrieve the item. If his family is in trouble or has any requests, please help

them out. You can find him at this address.” This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

Postmarked with Lambda City at Northridge District, the letter was addressed to Mr. Walter Reed, Birchwood Community, Glen Road.

Matthew was disappointed that Nicholas‘ true identity wasn’t mentioned at all. The letter only spoke about the task he was assigned with.

The Tiger Seal was a symbol of the King of Medicine. Nicholas had once told Matthew a story: The King of Medicine once treated a tiger that had a bone stuck in its mouth, while he was collecting herbs in the mountains.

For his own safety, the King of Medicine put a bronze ring in the tiger’s mouth and removed the bone. Later, the bronze ring was regarded as the Tiger Seal, which symbolized the King of Medicine’s legacy.

Matthew was surprised to find out that his medical skills were part of the King of Medicine’s legacy. He finally had some insights about the medical skills he had learned.

Matthew read through the letter several times, then carefully folded it, and tucked it back inside the envelope.

The next day, Matthew sent Lorraine to kindergarten before heading to work at Wealthwave Group.

Upon seeing Matthew, Zachary discreetly pulled him to the side and whispered, “How did you do it?”

Matthew had no idea what Zachary was talking about. Zachary just blurted a question out of nowhere, after all. “What do you mean?”

Zachary asked curiously, “How did you get in Ms. Carter’s good graces? It’s impressive that you’ve become her chauffeur. I was up all night trying to figure out how you did it.”

Matthew finally understood what Zachary was asking. He didn’t intend to keep it a secret, so he smiled and said, “Well, we’re dating. That’s all there is to it.”

Zachary was fed up with the same explanation. He thought about it all of last night and concluded it was unlikely they were a couple.

If Matthew was Rachel’s boyfriend, he wouldn’t be her chauffeur. Instead, she would have taken him in as her kept

man.

When this idea popped into Zachary’s head, he was too excited to sleep.

Rachel was in her 20s and drop–dead gorgeous. Zachary was willing to give anything to be pampered by a young rich woman, even if it meant losing ten years of his life.

“Stop pulling my leg, Matt. I truly look up to you. Seriously, how did you end up with a rich woman?”

With a bitter smile, Matthew shook his head. “I’m just as clueless as you are. It just happened.”

Zachary fixed his fiery gaze on Matthew. “I want to know your secret, Matt. How did it all begin? Fill me in!”

Matthew saw Zachary’s curiosity and casually responded, “Rachel came to my house to propose a marriage. She said she wanted to marry me, but I felt we weren’t a good match. Then, she begged me, saying that she wouldn’t marry anyone else but me.”

Zachary smacked his lips, thinking that Matthew exaggerated the story.

Rachel was pretty and rich. There was no way she would come to propose, let alone insist on marrying him.

Just then, Rachel entered the room and saw Matthew and Zachary chatting away. She casually asked, “What are you all talking about?”

Rachel’s words were enough to make Zachary’s face go pale.

Zachary looked at Matthew. He was afraid that Matthew would slip up and drag him into trouble. Matthew chuckled and responded, “I said you’d only marry me and no one else. He doesn’t believe it.“
