Chapter 514

At once, everyone nodded and bowed slightly to greet Dominic. In their village, he had status and power that were greater than the chief of the village.

Glancing at the new visitor, Matthew couldn’t help but smile as he turned out to be one of the patients he had treated.

Hurriedly, Dennis rushed to greet Dominic. “Mr. Garrison, you’re finally here. Come in and have a seat.

I’ll have a few drinks with you today, what do you say?”

Without sparing him a glance, Dominic arrogantly walked in.

At once, Ed’s mother carried over a chair with great struggle. “Mr. Harrison, please take a seat.”

Nodding, Dominic was about to sit when he saw Matthew. Instantly, he was stunned and his expression quickly changed.

Astonished, everyone watched as Dominic rushed toward Matthew. “Director Larson, wh-what are you doing here?” his voice quavered. “I didn’t know you were coming. If I had known, I would’ve arrived earlier.”

At that moment, everyone was dumbfounded, and even Dennis was confused. “Mr. Garrison, do you know him?”

Immediately, Dominic glared at him. “Why wouldn’t I know him? This is Director Larson of the North District Hospital. He is in charge of the hospital’s Emergency Department. I almost died from alcohol poisoning one time, and it was Director Larson who saved my life. He’s my savior, so how could I not know him?”

Upon hearing this, everyone was astonished. Meanwhile, Dennis was at a loss of words. “You’re not joking? He-He really is a doctor? How is that possible? There is no way.”

At that moment, everyone was mortified, especially those who had made snarky remarks about Matthew. They all had their heads lowered in embarrassment.

This turn of events was like a slap in the face for them.

Meanwhile, Ed’s parents were shocked too. They believed that Matthew was working at the hospital, but they just assumed that he was working in the Administrative Department.

After all, with his educational background, it was impossible for him to be a doctor. Who would have thought that Matthew was not only a doctor, but also a director?

If it were anyone else who had said this, no one would believe them, but now, this came from Mr.

Garrison. As such, no one dared to doubt him.

Ignoring everyone else, he grabbed Matthew’s hand in excitement. “Director Larson, you saved my life.

The medicine you prescribed for me worked so well that it cured my other illnesses too. You’re a genius! I went to the hospital several times after that, but I didn’t see you and it was such a shame.

Who would’ve known I would bump into you here? This is fate!”

Just then, Matthew chuckled as he nodded. “It’s no surprise that you couldn’t find me as I’m no longer under the Emergency Department.”

“Really?” Dominic said in surprise. “You left the Emergency Department? Which department are you under now?”

“I’m currently in charge of the Department of Chinese Medicine. If you’d like to see me, you can find me there.”

Dominic seemed genuinely sad. “You’ve changed departments? Oh, this is such a huge loss for the Emergency Department. Mr. Larson, among so many doctors that I’ve met, you are the one with the best medical skills. On another note, I’d like to come and see you at the Department of Chinese Medicine. My wife hasn’t been feeling too well these days and I’ve been wanting to bring her to you.”

“No problem.” Matthew nodded with a smile. “You may bring her anytime.”

At once, Mr. Garrison thanked Matthew over and over. Without acknowledging the people around him, he moved his chair to sit next to Matthew.

On the other hand, Dennis stood at the side feeling humiliated as he couldn’t even get a word in. In Mr.

Garrison’s eyes, he was just a nobody. On top of that, Mr. Garrison’s show of respect toward Matthew made him nervous.
