Chapter 522

Matthew could naturally guess the thoughts of these people, and to be honest, he didn’t have a good impression of them. However, as a doctor, he still had basic professional ethics.

“I don’t mind treating you,” Matthew replied.

Dominic couldn’t help but be stunned. He’s even willing to treat this man? Why does my wife have to wait three days to receive treatment?

Everyone was overjoyed and immediately gathered around. Matthew answered calmly, “However, I already said that I’m only treating Mrs. Martinez and Mr. Garrison’s wife today, so I won’t be accepting any more patients today. If you want to get treated by me, you can go to the hospital to find me. Just make sure to make an appointment.”

These people were immediately stunned. Why did they still have to go to the hospital?

Dominic breathed a sigh of relief because Matthew was a fair person.

“Mr. Larson, c-can you please give me a brief check up now? It’ll only take a while. Wh-Why do I have to go to the hospital?” the man whimpered.

The others nodded in succession.

Dominic was immediately annoyed. “Go away! Don’t be shameless! Just now you ridiculed Mr. Larson, yet he still agreed to treat you. He’s already being very kind and generous. You shouldn’t be so greedy!”

Everyone couldn’t help being embarrassed. They didn’t have the guts to say anything else, so they left silently. However, the eyes of these people, which were looking at Dennis, were full of anger. If it wasn’t for Dennis, they wouldn’t have mocked Matthew. In the eyes of everyone, it was Dennis who had made them unable to seek medical treatment today, so they felt very frustrated.

Ed’s father, who was with Matthew, wanted to speak but said nothing in the end. Halfway through, when Matthew entered the room to help Ed move things, Ed’s father followed him and said in a low voice, “Matthew, c-can you give Ed a check up? You have also seen that Ed is not in good health now.

We have looked for a lot of doctors, but they couldn’t treat him. We’re poor, so we’ve delayed seeking treatment for Ed’s illness. Matthew, Ed is very bashful, so he is too shy to ask for your help. C-Can you help him?”

With that, Ed’s father’s eyes started welling up with tears. He was an honest man, and seeing his son like this made him really sad.

Matthew said, “Mr. Martinez, you don’t have to say these things to me at all. Ed is like my brother, so I’ll help him for sure. It’s not that I don’t want to help him, but I really can’t treat him today.”

Ed’s father breathed a sigh of relief and then wondered, “Why not?”

Matthew smiled and said softly, “Sir, let’s talk about this tomorrow. Also, I should inform you that Ed is not sick.”

Ed’s father was surprised. “He’s not sick? No way! His body is already in such bad condition, so it’s impossible that he isn’t sick.”

Matthew shook his head, his face turning slightly cold. “Ed’s organs are all injured. This is definitely not caused by illness and most probably caused by an external impact.”

Ed’s father widened his eyes. “What? External impact? You mean… something hit him? Could he have had an accident at the construction site, and he dared not tell us?”

Matthew shook his head. “It doesn’t seem like he suffered an injury at the construction site. I think he was beaten up by someone!”

Ed’s father was dumbfounded. “B-Beaten up? Who did it? How could it be? Ed is a good kid. W-Why would he get into a fight? Matthew, are you mistaken? Ed would never get into a fight!”

Matthew said softly, “I also hope that I’m mistaken, but I’m very sure of this. However, don’t worry because I can definitely treat Ed, and I will never let the person who injured Ed off the hook!”
