The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Matthew paused briefly before responding, "You don't need to come over. I can transfer the money directly." Elliott grew more enthusiastic, saying, "Since you've helped me, I must bring a gift and thank you in person." Matthew replied somewhat resignedly, "As you wish."

While enjoying the rare tranquility, Matthew began to ponder how to find Medieval Medicine.

Lost in thought, he suddenly noticed someone entering through the gate.

He realized that it was Tessa who had come.

Matthew's mood instantly plummeted as a flood of painful memories rushed into his mind.

"What brings you here?" he inquired once she approached.
