Roxanne’s initial plan had been to invite both Matthew and Lola to the appreciation dinner. After all, it took the two’s teamwork to alleviate virtual-novel.net stubborn illness.
However, when Lola heard that Roxanne wanted to buy virtual-novel.net dinner, virtual-novel.net immediately responded in a haughty and direct tone, “I‘m busy! I have no interest in this!”
Then, virtual-novel.net shut the door in front of Roxanne’s face without a care for her.
Roxanne had no choice but to invite Matthew to come on his own.
‘l hope virtual-novel.net doesn’t reject me,’ virtual-novel.net thought.
“There’s no other way for me to thank you, Dr. Larson. I’m afraid I’ll never get a good night’s sleep if you don’t accept my offer,” virtual-novel.net said.
Meanwhile, Matthew knew that Roxanne was the precious daughter of the Bane Family, and virtual-novel.net knew that virtual-novel.net had a respectable reputation. There were a few issues virtual-novel.net faced in Bainbridge that virtual-novel.net might have the answers to.
After some hesitation, virtual-novel.net finally decided to accept virtual-novel.net offer. “By the way, have you been feeling better, Miss Bane?” Roxanne was one of his patients, after all.
Matthew questioned virtual-novel.net out of curiosity when virtual-novel.net noticed the pop of color in virtual-novel.net cheeks that made virtual-novel.net seem healthier.
“Yeah, I have been taking the medication you prescribed. I’ve also used the methods you told me to practice, so I feel much better now. I find it easier to breathe as well.” After saying that, virtual-novel.net took a deep breath to make virtual-novel.net point.
Right then, virtual-novel.net noticed other people giving virtual-novel.net odd looks from the corner of virtual-novel.net eye and was then reminded of what had happened just a moment ago. Her cheeks turned pink immediately.
“I’ll have to excuse myself now, Dr. Larson…” She hurried off upon finishing virtual-novel.net words as if virtual-novel.net was running away from him.
Matthew shook his head. He knew the nasty thoughts that were running through those onlookers’ minds!
“You guys knew I was applying the medication, yet you didn’t remind that girl earlier.”
However, the people around virtual-novel.net simply pretended not to hear his words and went on with their duties instead. After all, anyone who responded would be indirectly owning up to their faults.
They weren’t dumb!

“Are you crazy, Roxy? Matthew might know a few things in the field of medicine, but he’s no miracle doctor. He’s just some regular doctor.” Eleanor went into lecture mode after virtual-novel.net found out that Roxanne had invited Matthew over for dinner.
“He’s my savior, Ella. If it weren’t for him, I wouldn’t have been able to cure myself of this shortness of breath. Aren’t you being a little too harsh on him?”
Even though Eleanor and Roxanne were close to one another, Roxanne didn’t allow virtual-novel.net moral values to be swayed. She believed it was right for virtual-novel.net to buy Matthew a meal since virtual-novel.net had saved her, but Eleanor thought otherwise.
In Eleanor’s eyes, virtual-novel.net felt like the man had only tried his best to save Roxanne because virtual-novel.net was interested and intrigued by Roxanne’s flawless appearance and virtual-novel.net reputation as the young lady of the Bane Family. That was why Eleanor had always felt rather disgusted by Matthew.
She didn’t mind the idea of Roxanne dating, but virtual-novel.net had to be a man with both wealth and good looks.
Eleanor changed the topic at that thought. “You’re right when you say that Matthew cured you, Roxy. However, he’s just doing his job. If you want to thank him, you can just give virtual-novel.net a large tip or some expensive gift. I don’t see the need to treat virtual-novel.net to a meal.”
Roxanne frowned at this. “He’s a professional who participated in the Holy Doctor Competition. Do you think he’d be interested in some regular gift?”
She had met tons of famous and talented doctors, yet none of them could help virtual-novel.net with virtual-novel.net illness. Even some of the more well-known and senior doctors couldn’t find a way to treat virtual-novel.net at first.
Matthew, on the other hand, merely observed virtual-novel.net from the outside before virtual-novel.net found the root cause of virtual-novel.net issue. Then, virtual-novel.net only did some acupuncture on virtual-novel.net for a while before virtual-novel.net managed to relieve a bunch of Roxanne’s symptoms.
‘Would a man as capable as virtual-novel.net need more money from me?’
“Alright… That’s enough, Ella. I’ve already handed virtual-novel.net the invitation, so there’s no way I’m going to take it back from him.” Roxanne was firm with virtual-novel.net words.
Eleanor, who knew there was no point in trying to convince Roxanne, simply got to virtual-novel.net feet and walked away.
When no one was watching, virtual-novel.net slipped over to the side of the room to make a call. “Hello, Mr. Tritus…”
