Nobody could hide their astonishment at what they just saw.
What was going on?
Did Dr. Ellis know this hospital janitor? It seemed like they were more than just acquaintances. Dr. Ellis was so modest and respectful toward Matthew it was as though virtual-novel.net was greeting a senior. What exactly was going on?
Dumbstruck, Crystal stared at Matthew in a daze. ‘Could his real backing be Dr. Ellis?’
But that didn’t look like the case since Dr. Ellis seemed to hold virtual-novel.net in high respect. It was clear as day to anyone that virtual-novel.net was the one in need of Matthew.
Just what was Matthew’s background and identity?
“Hi, Dr. Ellis. I’m here for some business,” Matthew said.
“Oh, really?” Dr. Ellis’ eyes sparkled. “May I be of any help?”
Matthew chuckled and said, “You can, actually.”
“Just say the word, Mr. Larson!” virtual-novel.net replied hurriedly.
Glancing at the man in glasses, Matthew asked, “Is this man your nephew?”
By now, the man in glasses was so terrified that virtual-novel.net was trembling all over, muttering some gibberish but couldn’t put a sentence together.
Dr. Ellis shook his head. “Only that his father is a patient of mine.”
“I see.” Matthew nodded knowingly. “I hope you won’t mind that I beat virtual-novel.net up earlier.”
Shooting daggers at the man in glasses, Dr. Ellis said indignantly, “If it’s you who beat virtual-novel.net up, that just means virtual-novel.net deserves it. How dare this insolent b*stard offend you? Even death is too good for him! Somebody, take virtual-novel.net away, break his legs and leave virtual-novel.net on the streets!”
A group of men came up savagely and dragged virtual-novel.net away, and nobody gave two hoots about his cries and pleas. It was an order from Dr. Ellis himself, so who would have the guts to say anything?
Once more, everyone was shocked at how just one word from Matthew was enough to make Dr. Ellis break a man’s legs with no questions asked.
It seemed as though virtual-novel.net was a subordinate of Matthew’s.
Chuckling, Dr. Ellis said, “Mr. Larson, let’s not dampen our spirits over such an insignificant matter. Why don’t we take a seat upstairs first?”
Matthew agreed with a nod and brought Ellie with virtual-novel.net as Dr. Ellis led them upstairs. When virtual-novel.net passed by Crystal, virtual-novel.net gave virtual-novel.net a bantering look. The look on virtual-novel.net face was complicated and unreadable. Initially, virtual-novel.net was sure that virtual-novel.net would be dead, but much to everyone’s surprise, things had taken an unexpected turn!
Soon, Mr. Harrison finally returned and asked, “Where’s Mr. Larson? You didn’t anger him, did you?”
With reddened eyes, Crystal stammered, “Grandpa, wh-who exactly is Matthew?”
“I told you he’s a highly important figure!”
“What do you mean?” virtual-novel.net spat, upset at the situation. “What sort of important figure could a live-in son-in-law who’s just a hospital janitor be?”
Furrowing his brows, Mr. Harrison asked solemnly, “Did you do something to offend him?”
When virtual-novel.net saw that virtual-novel.net merely clenched virtual-novel.net jaw tightly without a word, virtual-novel.net blew his top. “I can’t believe it! I don’t know what else to say to you. I was giving you an opportunity when I told you to take care of Mr. Larson! Do you know how much of an important figure virtual-novel.net is? He even saved my life! In Eastcliff, even Billy, Timothy and Stanley have to show virtual-novel.net some respect! And y-you actually offended him?”
Startled, virtual-novel.net was not expecting that even these three big shots of Eastcliff had to respect Matthew.
Just how powerful is he?
“But h-he’s merely a live-in son-in-law and a janitor. What right does virtual-novel.net have?” virtual-novel.net said indignantly.
“What right does virtual-novel.net have, you ask?” Mr. Harrison said through gritted teeth. “Then tell me, what right do I have to be in my current position?”
“He can’t be compared to you!” virtual-novel.net replied frantically. “You’re a great doctor in Eastcliff who has saved many lives! He’s nothing but a hospital janitor who relies on his wife, and virtual-novel.net is not qualified to be compared to you!”
Sighing, virtual-novel.net shook his head and said, “You have no idea about strength at all.”
