The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 1

At the back gate of Westbrook Prison, an elderly man kneeled on the ground, holding onto a Global Express Black Card.

The elderly man was none other than the founder of Wealthwave Group, Fred Carter, who had a net worth of hundreds of billions of dollars. Unfortunately, he was facing the end of his life. After a recent diagnosis of a terminal illness, confirmed by multiple renowned doctors, he had been given less than six months to live.

The day before, Fred had found out that a miracle doctor in Westbrook Prison had cured a patient with the same condition as him.

Hence, he had immediately rushed over with a billion dollars in hand, hoping the miracle doctor would be able to save his life.

As the iron gate creaked open, a prison guard stepped out and said, "Mr. Carter Senior, the miracle doctor was just released. You should be able to meet him if you go to the front gate now." Meanwhile, the prison's front gate opened as well.

With each step he took away from the prison, Matthew Grant felt the wind against his skin. He spread his arms wide, basking in the sweet air of liberation.

At last, he had finally been released.

Three years ago, he had taken the fall for his wife, Tessa Sanders, and been sentenced to prison.

As soon as he had gone to prison, he had encountered a senile old man who had claimed to be suffering from neck arthritis and begged everyone for a massage.

The old man, Nicholas Hanson, had been unkempt and unsightly. On top of that, he had constantly rambled incoherently. As a result, all the other prisoners had either resorted to violence or verbal abuse toward him.

When Matthew had noticed that Nicholas was about the same age as his father, he had volunteered to give the latter a massage.

Unexpectedly, Nicholas had been rather picky; he had wanted the massage to be performed according to his precise instructions. Matthew had adhered to all his instructions and given him a massage.

Afterward, Nicholas had frequently requested massages from him. As time had passed, Nicholas had imparted a wealth of knowledge to Matthew about traditional medicine. He had also claimed that the medical techniques he had taught Matthew could even cure those who were on their deathbeds.

Matthew hadn't thought much of it and had merely seen it as a way to pass the time.

While following Nicholas' teachings halfheartedly, he had even managed to learn some martial arts techniques from the former.

On one occasion, a prisoner had fainted due to illness. The case had stumped the prison doctor as well.

Yet, Matthew had been able to effortlessly heal the prisoner. It was at that moment that he had realized that Nicholas' claims had all been true.

From then on, whether it be prisoners or prison guards, anyone who had been sick had sought him out for treatment.

As time had gone by, even wealthy people from beyond the prison's walls had come by with money in hand to seek medical treatment from Matthew. Now, after three years, Matthew had finally gotten out of prison.

As soon as he stepped out, he couldn't help but think about Tessa and their daughter, Lorraine Grant, as well as everyone else back at home.

He missed them so much. Now, they were finally going to be together again!

All of a sudden, a red sports car screeched to a halt in front of the prison.

A beautiful woman stepped out of the car. She wore a red dress that accentuated her figure and had a body that would make jaws drop. Tessa was a sight to behold.
