Medical Genius's Unspeakable Marriage

Chapter 26

“Dad!” Sasha interrupted anxiously. “Matthew helped us a ton. How could you do this to him?”

Helen rebutted furiously, “He helped us? Who does he think he is? Is he even able to help us?”

“Those are our company’s medicines, and all of it belongs to us. He’s just a clown, who assumes over unwarranted authority on the basis of some pretext. Why should we thank him when he pockets all the benefits?”

Demi nodded repeatedly. “Sasha, don’t be deceived by this kind of person. He’s treacherous and cunning, mean and shameless. He even used that set of clothes to extort money from my husband earlier today. Would an empathetic person do that? Don’t forget that we’re a family!”

The three of them raced to grumble, causing Sasha to shiver in exasperation. She didn’t even have the chance to reason with them.

“Matthew, don’t think that everything’s fine as long as you keep quiet. If you don’t speak, we’ll look for Mr. Newman tomorrow. By that time, how would you settle that?” After spitting the sentences in an icy tone, James stormed into the room.

Matthew returned to his own bedroom and finally got a moment of peace. Sasha walked beside him while asking in a soft voice, “Matthew, are you mad?”

“Mad?” Matthew laughed. “Of course, I am. But as long as you’re here, nothing else matters.”

Sasha blushed. “You’re just too accommodating. Actually, y-you can try to resist…”

“What for?” Matthew shook his head. “If I quarrel with them, in the end, you’ll just be the one struggling between us. Sasha, I promised not to let a single harm get to you. So if I ever put you in that situation, I will be breaking my promise.”Exclusive content © by Nô(v)el/Dr/ama.Org.

At once, tears welled up in Sasha’s eyes while she thought, This is true affection! “Matthew, thank you!” Suddenly, Sasha leaned nearer to Matthew and left a light kiss on his cheek before she hid in the bathroom, blushing shyly.

Matthew was stunned on the spot and he couldn’t help but giggle. It has been three years and she finally kissed me! Judging from their progress, consummation might be near.

The next morning, James and Helen woke up early. Noticing that both of them were all dressed up, Sasha couldn’t help but feel astonished. “Dad, Mom, where are you going?”

James replied, “We’re going to seek Mr. Newman for an explanation!”

Sasha was speechless, though she tried to reason with James. “Dad, stop messing around. That’s Mr. Newman you’re talking about.”

James glared at her. “So what if he’s Mr. Newman? His daughter is cured by our medicine. Why shouldn’t he offer us some benefits? Hmph! They are all swallowed by Matthew, this cunning person, as the middleman. What did we get?”

Helen waved her hand. “Enough, Sasha. Stop nattering. You just focus on your work. Your uncle will be visiting a few days later. I reckon that they are looking for a job in the company. Put some thoughts into it and arrange some suitable positions for them.”

Sasha was even more dumbfounded. Her uncle and his family would be visiting right after her first day of work? “Mom…” She had more to say but James and Helen had left hurriedly.

“Matthew, should I go with you to meet Mr. Newman?” Sasha dropped her voice and explained, “I’m not sure what they will say in front of him. If they slander you…”

“Don’t worry.” Matthew shook his head in a faint smile. “Mr. Newman won’t acknowledge them.”

Since Matthew looked confident, Sasha stopped asking. After the meal, Matthew sent Sasha to the company. Obviously, he was still using that electric scooter because James took his BMW.

Standing at the lobby, an excitement pulsed through Sasha’s heart. In the past, although she was a high-level executive in the company, anyone in the Cunningham Family still pointed their fingers at her and gave her commands. But now, she had finally become the owner of this place!

“Matthew…” Sasha suddenly suggested, “Why don’t you work here too? Shall I appoint you as the Chairman’s secretary?” Right after she finished her sentence, she was amused by herself. After all, she was the Chairman, which meant Matthew would be her assistant.

Matthew chuckled as well. “Sure. However, I’ll be your secretary who cares for your wellbeing, not your work.”

Sasha’s face was flushed red while she teased, “You mischievous little sh*t.”

“Hahaha…” Matthew burst out laughing. “I’m just joking with you. I think I should stay at the hospital for now. When everything’s steady here, I’ll come and help you.”

“That’ll work too.” Sasha nodded. Indeed, she hadn’t gotten hold of the situation here. If she had suddenly transferred Matthew over, people might start to complain about it.

After that, Matthew returned to the hospital. He didn’t stay with Sasha for long because he still wanted to master his medical skills in the hospital. Even though the skills handed down from his ancestors in the jade pendant were brilliant, he still had to practice them in reality, and only then could his expertise be enhanced. Matthew’s return at the hospital stirred up quite a commotion.

“Why is he here again?”

“Hasn’t his sister died from jumping off the building?”

“Definitely, she died. After all, she suffers from leukemia. Even if she’s not dead, she’ll be crippled now after that incident!”

“Sigh. What a pity.”

“Pity? To be honest, this kind of person is better off being dead. Otherwise, they’ll just be a burden to others.”

With the discussion going on, Jeffrey walked over. Once he saw Matthew, he instantly strode toward him. “Matthew, you got quite a nerve to come to work again. However, you’ve been absent without a valid reason for three days, so the hospital has decided to fire you!” After that, Jeffrey chuckled. “But, since you were introduced here by Sasha, I’ll definitely do her a favor. How about this? If you call Sasha over, I’ll plead on your behalf so that the hospital will not dismiss you.”

Matthew glanced at him. This guy is really itching to die! “Jeffrey, please don’t make things difficult for Sasha.” Matthew tucked his lips. “She told me that she wants to throw up when she sees you.”

“What?!” Jeffrey’s anger flared. “What did you say? Why would Sasha say that? Wait, I’ll call Sasha now. How dare you sow discord between us? Let’s see how she punishes you!”

“Pfft…” Matthew sneered. “Director Zimmerman, I advise you not to call Sasha because she isn’t willing to answer your call.”

“She won’t answer my call?” Jeffrey laughed hysterically. “Is it my call or your call that she wouldn’t answer? Come. I’ll call her and show you now!” Jeffrey immediately dialed Sasha’s number. However, with only two beeps, the call was rejected. “What’s going on?” He couldn’t help feeling stunned. Did Sasha just reject my call? This has never happened before!

Sasha was doing medical business and she had business dealings with Jeffrey’s hospital. Therefore, she had to answer Jeffrey’s call prior to this. However, she was now the company’s Chairman. On the first day of her post, she had to attend a board of directors’ meeting, obviously. So why did she have to respond to Jeffrey now?

Jeffrey refused to give up, so he called again. However, it was rejected immediately. After several attempts, Jeffrey was dumbfounded. It does seem like she’s declining my calls.

“Director Zimmerman, stop wasting your energy.” Matthew smiled. “With such a horrendous look of yours, Sasha will puke by just hearing your voice. Why do you have to make things awkward for her?”

Some people nearby started to roar with laughter.

Jeffrey was about to explode from exasperation. “How dare you belittle me?!” Then, he raised his palm and wanted to slap Matthew.

However, Matthew took a step back, causing Jeffrey to miss and stagger forward. Pretending to be inadvertent, Matthew hooked Jeffrey’s calf, tripped him over and caused him to land on the floor. Blood started to flow from his face.

“H-How dare you hit me?!” Jeffrey screamed with a hoarse voice, “Matthew, you’re doomed! I’ll not let this go. Quick, call someone from the Department of Safety and Security! ”

Soon, a group of security guards rushed over. “Who hit my cousin?” A plump-looking man took the lead by shouting arrogantly, “Are you seeking your own death?! How dare you hit someone under my territory? Most importantly, you hit my cousin. I’ll definitely have you killed today!”
