The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 37

After staring for a while, Matthew thought that he could have intimate contact with Rachel after the bath. He quickly took off his clothes and reached out to test the water temperature. Just then, he heard footsteps outside. Then, there was a bang. The bathroom door had been swung open.

Rachel rushed in. "Sorry, I just need to grab my clothes..."

Her eyes widened in surprise when she saw that Matthew was already undressed. "Why did you take off your clothes so quickly?"

Realizing her mistake, she hastily grabbed her clothes and fled the bathroom in embarrassment.

Matthew felt a little disappointed. He seemed to have missed an opportunity, but he shrugged it off. He knew he would see her again soon.

After a quick bath, he stepped out, only to realize there were several bedrooms on the second floor.

Unsure which one was Rachel's, he went from room to room and listened at each door until he heard movement in one.

He pushed the door open and found Rachel brushing her hair. Upon seeing him, she blushed, recalling the incident earlier.
