The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 170

Matthew said calmly, "I came here for two reasons-to repay a debt and to retrieve Medieval Medicine."

Jenny nodded in understanding. "My grandfather mentioned that one day, someone would come and claim that book. But I don't know where it is right now." Matthew smiled. "Can we visit the old mansion?"

Jenny's eyes brightened. "Sure! Let's go check out the old mansion."

Half an hour later, the gate to the courtyard creaked open, releasing a cascade of dust. Jenny took a few steps back, waiting for the dust to settle before stepping into the courtyard. Suddenly, a large dog emerged from a doghouse in the corner, barking furiously at the gate.

Cosmo stepped out from behind Jenny, his face lighting up with joy as he approached the dog. "Max, I thought you were lost! I can't believe you're still here guarding the place." Max wagged its tail enthusiastically, circling Cosmo and showing his excitement. Jenny led Matthew into Walter's consultation room.

The desk was covered in a thick layer of dust, and the silhouettes of mice could be seen scurrying across the cabinets.

Matthew began to search through the room, opening drawers, moving the medical cabinet, and even shifting the desk. He checked every nook and cranny.

Despite the thorough search, there was no sign of the book. He looked disappointed. "Maybe someone took it already."

Suddenly, Jenny remembered someone important. "Matt, my grandfather once had an apprentice called Howard Simpson. Eventually, my grandfather expelled him for some reason. "Afterward, he would often say, 'Dogs are more loyal than people. Show kindness to a dog, and it will stay true to you. But be kind to a person, and you might end up with a knife in your back." Matthew shook his head. He knew that if Howard had the book, he would have sold it long ago."Let's search the other rooms as well."

Jenny led Matthew from room to room, their search making them both look quite disheveled with dust covering their clothes and faces. Despite their efforts, the book was nowhere to be found.

Matthew sighed with regret. "Let's go. We've searched everywhere we could think of, and it
