Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 26

“Dad!” Sasha interrupted anxiously. “Matthew helped us a ton. How could you do this to him?”

Helen rebutted furiously, “He helped us? Who does he think he is? Is he even able to help us?”

“Those are our company’s medicines, and all of it belongs to us. He’s just a clown, who assumes over unwarranted authority on the basis of some pretext. Why should we thank him when he pockets all the benefits?”

Demi nodded repeatedly. “Sasha, don’t be deceived by this kind of person. He’s treacherous and cunning, mean and shameless. He even used that set of clothes to extort money from my husband earlier today. Would an empathetic person do that? Don’t forget that we’re a family!”

The three of them raced to grumble, causing Sasha to shiver in exasperation. She didn’t even have the chance to reason with them.

“Matthew, don’t think that everything’s fine as long as you keep quiet. If you don’t speak, we’ll look for Mr. Newman tomorrow. By that time, how would you settle that?” After spitting the sentences in an icy tone, James stormed into the room.

Matthew returned to his own bedroom and finally got a moment of peace. Sasha walked beside him while asking in a soft voice, “Matthew, are you mad?”

“Mad?” Matthew laughed. “Of course, I am. But as long as you’re here, nothing else matters.”

Sasha blushed. “You’re just too accommodating. Actually, y-you can try to resist…”

“What for?” Matthew shook his head. “If I quarrel with them, in the end, you’ll just be the one struggling between us. Sasha, I promised not to let a single harm get to you. So if I ever put you in that situation, I will be breaking my promise.”

At once, tears welled up in Sasha’s eyes while she thought, This is true affection! “Matthew, thank you!” Suddenly, Sasha leaned nearer to Matthew and left a light kiss on his cheek before she hid in the bathroom, blushing shyly.

Matthew was stunned on the spot and he couldn’t help but giggle. It has been three years and she finally kissed me! Judging from their progress, consummation might be near.

The next morning, James and Helen woke up early. Noticing that both of them were all dressed up, Sasha couldn’t help but feel astonished. “Dad, Mom, where are you going?”

James replied, “We’re going to seek Mr. Newman for an explanation!”

Sasha was speechless, though she tried to reason with James. “Dad, stop messing around. That’s Mr. Newman you’re talking about.”

James glared at her. “So what if he’s Mr. Newman? His daughter is cured by our medicine. Why shouldn’t he offer us some benefits? Hmph! They are all swallowed by Matthew, this cunning person, as the middleman. What did we get?”

Helen waved her hand. “Enough, Sasha. Stop nattering. You just focus on your work. Your uncle will be visiting a few days later. I reckon that they are looking for a job in the company. Put some thoughts into it and arrange some suitable positions for them.”

Sasha was even more dumbfounded. Her uncle and his family would be visiting right after her first day of work? “Mom…” She had more to say but James and Helen had left hurriedly.

“Matthew, should I go with you to meet Mr. Newman?” Sasha dropped her voice and explained, “I’m not sure what they will say in front of him. If they slander you…”

“Don’t worry.” Matthew shook his head in a faint smile. “Mr. Newman won’t acknowledge them.”

Since Matthew looked confident, Sasha stopped asking. After the meal, Matthew sent Sasha to the company. Obviously, he was still using that electric scooter because James took his BMW.

Standing at the lobby, an excitement pulsed through Sasha’s heart. In the past, although she was a high-level executive in the company, anyone in the Cunningham Family still pointed their fingers at her and gave her commands. But now, she had finally become the owner of this place!

“Matthew…” Sasha suddenly suggested, “Why don’t you work here too? Shall I appoint you as the Chairman’s secretary?” Right after she finished her sentence, she was amused by herself. After all, she was the Chairman, which meant Matthew would be her assistant.
