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."

20 minutes later, Matthew returned home to find that his parents were out. He grabbed a lounge chair and sat under the shade of a tree in the yard. He enjoyed the breeze as the leaves rustled in the wind.

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

He thought that perhaps Jenny would have some information about the ancient text. He could only hope she could help him in his quest.

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.

Tessa smiled sweetly as she informed Matthew that they needed to talk.
