Master of Medicine The Saintly Healer

Chapter 93

Tessa felt utterly embarrassed. She desperately hoped for the ground to swallow her whole. Even if it cost her life, at least she wouldn’t have to face such an awkward situation.

Unfortunately, those were merely Tessa’s wishful thoughts. Glancing around, she felt like she was being sentenced in public with the nearby parents watching her.

Tessa fixed her gaze on Matthew and snarled, “Is this really necessary? Why are you treating me like this?

“Have you forgotten our wedding vows? You’re supposed to love me forever, look after me, and pamper me. Are you going back on your word? Be a man and keep your promise.”

Matthew was at a loss for words. How did Tessa even bring herself to

say

that?

She was the one who demanded a divorce and took his wealth. Now she expected him to honor his past vows—to love, cherish, and pamper her. What twisted logic.

Seeing Matthew stay silent, Tessa argued, “I gave you a daughter. No matter how much I’ve wronged you, you can’t do the same to me.”

Matthew realized Tessa was simply out of her mind.

Even though she used Lorraine to make him give up his wealth back then, she didn’t hesitate to abandon Lorraine. At this very moment, she was using Lorraine to once again make unreasonable demands.

“Leave Lorraine out of this. If you bring her up again, I’ll call Elliott and have him chase you for the loan repayment.” Tessa was terrified. She forced herself to calm down and said, “I don’t believe you’ll do it.”

Just then, the children started lining up to leave school as the parents gathered at the gate.

Matthew’s eyes glinted coldly. “Lori will be here any second. I don’t want her to see us fighting, it’ll only make her sad. I’ll do anything to protect her. If you don’t leave, I’ll make the call right now.”

As Matthew spoke, he pulled out his phone.

Tessa’s face paled in fear. “Stop! Don’t call Elliott. I’ll leave.”

Like a thief who’d just stumbled into the police, Tessa scurried away without looking back.

Matthew heaved a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes. The brief exchange felt like a long, drawn–out war. What hurt him the most was the torment to his heart.

Rachel watched as the exchange unfolded. She had never witnessed anything like this before. The whole situation felt as unreal as a dream.

It was shocking that women like Tessa existed. Even after the divorce, Tessa expected Matthew to keep his marriage vows and to care for her like a queen.

Even though it was absurd, it happened right before Rachel’s eyes.

At the same time, Matthew didn’t receive any appreciation at all for going to prison on Tessa’s behalf. She still owed him an apology for taking away his wealth, and yet she just kept asking for more.

Rachel couldn’t help but feel bad for Matthew. “Are you alright?” NôvelDrama.Org is the owner.

Matthew wiped his face with his hand. When he looked at Rachel, he sported a smile. “Everything’s okay.”

Rachel felt a pang in her heart. She remembered reading that men never showed their pain to others. No matter how much they suffered, they would act tough in front of others.

She couldn’t believe this was happening before her eyes. “If you’re feeling sad…”

Matthew maintained a smile and said, “I’m not sad. Wait for me while I go get Lori.”

kindergarten gates.

When he returned, Lorraine was riding on his shoulders. She looked delighted.

Matthew beamed as he spoke to Lorraine, doing his best to make her laugh.

Rachel felt her chest tightened. Even though Matthew was sad, he didn’t have time to process his emotions because he had to keep Lorraine happy.

She didn’t know why, but her eyes became wet.

The car door opened, and Rachel quickly wiped her tears. She pretended nothing had happened and looked at Lorraine.

Upon seeing Rachel, Lorraine greeted, “Ms. Carter.”

Rachel waved her hand at Lorraine. “Hello.”

Matthew fastened the seatbelt for Lorraine before driving off.

With a curious expression, Lorraine fixed her gaze on Rachel. After a while, she grinned and asked, “Are you going to marry Dad, Ms. Carter?”

Rachel felt awkward when she answered the question with, “Probably.”

With her adorable eyes, Lorraine frowned and pleaded, “Please don’t marry Dad. I don’t want him in prison again. He’s a good person, and prison is for bad people.”
