Jordan was stunned. “H-How was that right?”
Matthew stared at the patient and gently said, “First of all, you have to understand that she’s a girl.”
Jordan’s eyes widened in disbelief. “What? Really? S-She’s a girl?”
Frankly speaking, judging from the patient’s appearance, it was hard to tell her gender.
Matthew nodded and fished out a silver needle before poking it on the abscess. The patient gasped in pain again, but strangely, the abscess didn’t split. Then, he said, “You’ve also failed in your attempt to obtain the pus, right?”
Jordan slapped his own thigh and replied, “That’s right. That’s what’s strange about it. For some reason, we can’t slit her skin open. Although our scalpels are extremely sharp, we can’t cut her abscesses open. This is the weird thing about her illness.”
Upon finishing his words, he looked hopefully at Matthew. “Mr. Larson, it seems that you’ve figured out what’s going on with her. A-Are you able to cure her then?”
Matthew pondered on it for a moment and softly replied, “I can cure her, but it’ll take a long time for me to do that. Moreover, she shouldn’t stay here anymore.”
Jordan hurriedly said, “Mr. Larson, as long as you can cure her, I’ll pay for all the medical fees. Since she can’t stay here anymore, I’ll look for a new house for her outside the hospital. Mr. Larson, this girl is rather poor, so you must help her!”
Matthew took a look at Jordan and thought that he was indeed a kind-hearted man. “Since I’m here, I’ll definitely help her. Also, you don’t have to worry about getting a new place for her. She can’t stay in a place where there are many people, so I’ll look for a house for her,” he uttered.
Jordan took a glance at the patient and nodded vigorously. “Mr. Larson, thanks for helping her. If you need money or anything, just tell me immediately.”
After a nod, Matthew picked up a quilt and wrapped it around the patient’s body until only her eyes were shown. “Follow me,” he said.
The patient appeared apprehensive as she hid behind Jordan. Apparently, she had trust in him.
He hurriedly said, “Miss, don’t be afraid. Dr. Larson is a good hearted man, so he’ll get your illness treated. Just leave with him now. I’ll pay you a visit in two days. Relax.”
Upon Jordan’s consolation, the patient finally calmed down and left with Matthew. Since the patient was covered in a quilt, Crystal couldn’t see the problems on her skin, which was why she didn’t mind it.
Then, Matthew called Stanley and told him to clean Sam’s previous house. He wanted to help the patient move into Lakeside Garden because it was a serene place.
Crystal decided to drive them to that place. On their way there, she asked curiously, “Matthew, have you identified her illness? Why do you have to send her to another place for treatments?”
Matthew shook his head. “She isn’t ill.”
She was astounded. “Are you kidding me? Why is her body full of abscesses if she isn’t ill?”
He wore a smile and changed the topic. “By the way, Dr. Burton is such a compassionate man.”
“My grandpa told me that Dr. Burton is the most good-hearted man he’s ever seen.” She nodded. “Unfortunately, bad things happen to good people. He used to have a daughter, but she lost her life in a
car crash at the age of thirteen. I guess the reason why he sent the patient to the hospital and took care of her was that this patient reminded him of his daughter.”
Matthew nodded and thought that Jordan was indeed a benevolent man, which was a rarity in this world now.
