The Great Medical Saint (Matthew)

She smiled indifferently and shook her head. "I'm not short on cash. My family bought a house and has a few million saved up."

He shook his head. "That's not what I meant. I'm asking if you need money for your research."

Emily sized Matthew up and smiled. "Yes, I need money. A lot of it." She didn't add that even selling his company wouldn't cover her research costs. He nodded. "If you need money, how much are we talking about?"
