Chapter 774

Matthew chuckled. "Alistair doesn't seem quite clear-headed, so I'm just playing along with him. Does it look convincing?"

Giselle gave Matthew a thumbs-up, nodding in approval. "You acted so well. I almost fell for it, really believing as though you were going to murder someone. Besides saving my son, you even went along with his little play. I really appreciate it."

Alistair lamented to himself that Matthew had truly intended to kill them, so it would naturally look real. But he didn't dare voice it out and just hoped Matthew would leave soon.

Matthew turned to Giselle and said, "Don't mention it. Let's not disturb the doctor in treating him. I'm going home now."

Alistair breathed a sigh of relief. Matthew was finally going to leave.

It was too much to bear. Every second Matthew was around, Alistair felt like he was by the death's door.

Giselle enthusiastically invited, "Thank you for helping us. Let's exchange contact info. I'd like to treat you to dinner in a few days to express my gratitude for saving my son."

Alistair felt his heart jump to his throat. The last thing he wanted was to see Matthew again, yet Giselle was inviting Matthew for dinner. He just hoped Matthew would decline.

Matthew pulled out his phone. "Let's exchange phone numbers. If you're treating me to dinner, I'll definitely show up. Even if I'm busy, I'll make time."
