The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 2

Now that Fred had managed to find a way to address two issues simultaneously, a broad grin spread across his face.

As he settled back into the car, he instructed the chauffeur, "Step on it! Return to the company at once!"

With Rachel's secretary, Tracy Lauder, leading the way, Tessa made her way into the president's office at Wealthwave Group.

As soon as she laid eyes on Rachel, she was completely awestruck.

With eyebrows resembling delicate crescents, skin like smooth marble, a figure that turned heads, and a beauty that could launch a thousand ships, Rachel still carried herself with an air of icy detachment. She radiated a serene and ethereal grace, like an ice queen. She seemed untouched by earthly impurities and held herself with an air of dignified detachment.

Tessa often thought of herself as a woman with both beauty and status as the president of a company, and she even took pride in it.

Yet, Rachel eclipsed her in youthfulness, affluence, and physical allure.

For the first time in her life, Tessa was overcome with a feeling of inferiority and shame.

When Rachel noticed Tessa's silence, she reminded her, "You only have ten minutes, so please get straight to the details of your project." After realizing that she had spaced out, Tessa quickly said, "I'm so sorry, Ms. Carter. Allow me to introduce myself. I am—"

Before she could even finish her sentence, the phone on the desk abruptly rang.

Rachel picked up the phone, gestured for Tessa to be quiet, and then answered the call, "Hey, Grandpa! Did you get to meet the doctor?" Fred had planned to wait until they could meet, but the urgency of the situation had compelled him to call Rachel.

"Rae! You've got to drop everything you're doing immediately. There's a life-or-death situation for both of us. You're the only one who can handle this!"

As soon as she heard that, Rachel realized the urgency of the matter. She jumped to her feet and walked toward the door while speaking on the phone. "Grandpa, I'm making my way to the elevator now. I'll be on my way to you soon. Please tell me exactly what you need me to do."

Fred cut to the chase and said, "I've found a promising young man for you! At this moment, he's single. You should go meet him as soon as possible. It would be ideal if you could get engaged with him right off the bat." Get engaged?

Rachel was instantly taken aback. "You've randomly found a guy and want me to get engaged to him? Isn't that too rash? You shouldn't worry too much about your illness, Grandpa. We'll definitely find a way to cure it. "And you don't have to worry about me. I'll definitely find a boyfriend soon. Everything will eventually work out." She assumed Fred was preparing for his passing, so she patiently comforted him.

At the same time, it dawned on Fred that Rachel had misunderstood his intentions.

When he had realized that Matthew was unfazed by his offer of a billion dollars-a display of composure few could muster-he had understood that Matthew was far from ordinary.

At that moment, the most important thing was that Fred didn't want to die. Although he knew that he wouldn't live much longer at his age, he still didn't want to die so quickly. Besides, the Carter family was beset by internal strife. None of Fred's scions possessed the ability to manage Wealthwave Group, yet they all desired to monopolize it.

If Fred were to pass away, Rachel would definitely not be able to withstand the external pressure. As a result, Wealthwave Group would undoubtedly collapse.
