Chapter 9

Matthew walked toward the bed and heaved out a sigh. The lady who was lying on the bed was gorgeous. In terms of appearance, she was no less attractive than Sasha. However, she was a heart-wrenching sight to look at as she had been reduced to a bony frame after losing substantial weight.

As Matthew was walking round the bed, he suddenly lifted his head and asked, "Mr. Newman, how much have you paid Benjamin for taking care of Miss Newman?"

"I'm not offering my service for Mr. Newman because of money!" Benjamin quickly clarified, "I have a very close friendship with Mr. Newman and I've always treated his problems as mine!"

Staying silent, Billy's eyes were tinged with gratitude; he was really moved by how Benjamin had taken care of his daughter over the past half a year.

Yet, Matthew responded to what Benjamin said with a sneer. "You aren't taking a dime from him? Benjamin, you really should be punished!"

"W-What the heck are you talking about?" Benjamin challenged him furiously.

Billy was slightly displeased too and he wondered what exactly Matthew meant by that. Ignoring Benjamin, Matthew looked at Joseph and announced, "Mr. Harrison, there's actually nothing wrong with your acupuncture skill!"

"Oh?" Joseph was surprised to hear that. "But, not only did Miss Newman not wake up after I did that, her condition e-even w-worsened... Why is that so?"

"It was because someone had done some tricks to her body!" With a faint smile, Matthew stared at Benjamin and continued, "Someone injected her with a silver needle beforehand to block her acupoints. Hence, anyone else who performs acupuncture on her later on will only make her lose her vitality at a more rapid rate. Then, when her condition deteriorates, she might eventually die because of that!"

All at once, Benjamin's face turned as pale as a sheet of paper, with beads of sweat formed all over his forehead.
