Chapter 25

Matthew admired Fred's strategy. However, it wasn't the right time to say that. He could only comfort Rachel.

"It's all right. Don't be afraid. I'm here. I'll help you if anything happens."

Matthew felt the need to reveal a little of his background. "I know a few people in Khoitwood. All of them are capable individuals. If you need help, I can introduce them to you. They will ensure you win this competition." Rachel shook her head. "It's not about my health. It's my career that's in trouble. Can these doctors you know help me?
