The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

Chapter 177

Why were things the other way around? Shouldn't Matthew have been the one greeting Layla respectfully?

Tracy was dumbfounded. This was Layla they were talking about. She was the daughter of the Crane family, a family of martial artists. Why was she being so respectful to Matthew? Rachel was also stunned. She stood there and gaped at them without saying anything. She had no idea what had happened between Layla and Matthew to make things turn out like this. Matthew didn't want to reveal what had happened at Opulent Club. It had to do with Nicholas' mission, after all.

He shot Layla a look. Then, he smiled and said, "You came to me to treat your irregular period, and I prescribed something to you. Things should be back to normal now, right?" Layla flushed at his words. She was about to refute him when she saw him blinking at her. Then, she understood he wanted her to keep quiet about his earlier conflict with Lucas. She was fine with keeping it a secret, but why did he have to cover the truth up by saying she had an irregular period? Wasn't he just embarrassing her?

Still, Matthew had the upper hand, so Layla had no choice but to play along. "Yeah. It's much better now. My period has become regular after you treated me. Thanks, Dr. Grant." Rachel continued to gape at them. She didn't expect Matthew to be proficient in treating gynecology problems.

She couldn't help thinking about how he'd mentioned there was a serious problem with her health that could only be cured through sex.

Had he been telling the truth? He hadn't just been saying that because he wanted to get in her pants?

Meanwhile, Tracy looked awkward. Layla was the bigwig she'd invited to help Matthew out, and she'd even bragged to Matthew about it, wanting him to thank her. Unexpectedly, Layla had gone from being a bigwig to a lackey upon seeing Matthew. She'd even thanked Matthew for his help! It made Tracy feel like a clown.

Seeing that Layla was playing along with him, Matthew smiled. "It's good that you're all better."

Layla felt excited. As long as she could suck up to Matthew, there would still be hope for Lucas.
