The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1021
Helen Was Caught
Matthew couldn’t help but ask in surprise, “Heading out? Why?”
Tiger replied, “I-It’s because your mother-in-law went out for some reason and she was caught by the Lewis Family. The Lewis Family then told President Cunningham to come out; otherwise, they w-will have to kill your mother-in-law…”
As the severity of the situation dawned on Matthew, he probed, “How can this be? Isn’t s-she looking after my aunt in the hospital? Didn’t you arrange for our men to guard the hospital?”
“I did,” Tiger answered. “I-I don’t know what’s going on, but those from the Lewis Family didn’t head to the hospital. It was your mother-in-law who went out on her own. We guarded the hospital, but we did not even expect that s-she would go out by herself…”
Upon hearing this, Matthew froze. What the hell is going on here?
Helen usually went to bed early and she wouldn’t leave the residence at such a late hour. Besides, she was supposed to stay in the hospital tonight to take care of Heidi, so she wouldn’t have made plans to go out. Why would she suddenly leave?
However, at this time, he couldn’t afford to analyze so much. He casually stabbed seven silver needles on Charmine, who went limp on the ground as her strength was sapped from her body.
She trembled a little as she questioned, “W-What have you done to me?”
He replied, “This method is called the Seven Divine Needles! There are seven silver needles that block the seven areas on your body where your energy and blood flow the most. You can’t use any of your energy this way. You just stay here and wait for me to come back so that we can continue playing 20 questions later!”
With that, Matthew left straight away. Behind him, Charmine shouted angrily, “Larson, come back! I won’t let you off the hook! Now that you’ve gone up against the Orleanians, your end will definitely be miserable…”
He simply ignored her and closed the door of the room before he walked away. She cursed for a while and only stopped when she noticed that there was no movement outside at all. The anger on her face disappeared in an instant before a cold smile swept across her mouth.
“What an idiot. Does he really think this method can subdue me? We Orleanians always have a few centipedes stored inside our sleeves!”
After she muttered two words, her pocket moved slightly a few times. Soon, a tiny furry fox jumped out from inside. This little animal was only palm-sized and it was covered in white fur. As it had big eyes, it looked extremely cute.
Charmine lightly whistled to the little fox and it immediately straightened its ears. Then, it climbed onto her body. With its small paws and teeth, it took a lot of effort for the animal to get a silver needle out. She immediately felt a little more relaxed and preponderant after the item was removed. Then, she slowly brought up her hand and pulled out another syringe, afterwhich her strength increased even more.
Soon, she removed all seven silver needles and smiled triumphantly. “How can you expect to trap me with this little trick? Hehe, Matthew is not that powerful after all! Since he knows how to use the centipede from Orleans, I must quickly report this to Master!”
She quietly ran over to the door. As she crouched by the door and listened for a while, she endured that there was no movement outside before she opened the door and ran off into the darkness. However, she did not notice that Matthew was quietly watching her in a car. Upon seeing her leave, he smiled slightly and drove away.
At once, he rushed to The Grand Garden, where he saw a few groups of people fighting in a few alleys next to it. It was without a doubt that they were members of the Lewis Family tussling with Tiger’s men.
Matthew ignored them and went straight back to The Grand Garden. The villa lights were still switched on, so he quickly ran into the villa. However, he had just entered the door when he heard Demi hissing from afar.
“Sasha, this time you should admit that Matthew is a curse to the family! Now that even Mom is about to be killed by him, you still want to speak up for him?”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1022
Conclusive Evidence That Matthew Killed Them
Inside the house was James, who was anxiously seated at the table. Sasha and Demi were just as nervous as they paced around him. Liam was also perched by the bench, looking as if he was worried but there was indescribable triumph in his eyes.
Matthew hurriedly ran over. “Sasha, how are things?”
Once Demi saw him, she saw red and lunged over while roaring, “Matthew, I’ll fight you! You did this to my mother, you son of a b*tch! You deserve to die!”
Sasha hurriedly pulled Demi back. “Demi, shut up! We should ask for an explanation first.”
Demi replied, “What else do I need to ask about? Donovan, the head of the Lewis Family, is dead while his son, Dickson, has also perished. Their deaths were caused by Matthew. The Lewis Family has now gone bonkers and wants to fight with all of us because of him. What else do you want him to explain? How much longer do you want to shield him?”
“How do you know that all these people were killed by Matthew?” Sasha angrily responded. “He must have been wrongly accused—”
A furious Demi retorted, “Bullsh*t! The Lewis Family is a member of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. They have sent people to fight us, so how can any of this be wrong? Do you think that the ten families will wrongly accuse us?”
“Hmph, did they not wrong us before on the matter of Zachary Jackson?” Sasha indignantly reminded.
Demi stuttered for a moment, unable to snap back.
At this moment, Liam suggested softly, “This time is different. I received news that many people saw with their own eyes that it was Tiger’s men who pushed Dickson, who then fell to his death. On the other hand, Matthew had seriously injured Donovan, which caused him to vomit a lot of blood. On the way to the hospital, he unfortunately died from his injuries! All of this is conclusive evidence!”
She immediately echoed, “Hey, Matthew, you’re even more capable at this now! A strong, young man beating an older man to his death? No wonder the Lewis Family wants to fight with you! You don’t deserve to live for what you did!”
Sasha shouted again, “Liam, Demi, shut up! Don’t intimidate others with these hearsay stuff! I believe in Matthew; he definitely wouldn’t do such a thing!”
Liam sneered, “Sasha, this is not hearsay. I’ll bet my life that these are all done by Matthew!”
When she was about to retort, James angrily slammed the table with his fist. “Shut up!!!”
Those present immediately looked at him. His face was as dark as charcoal as he stared at Matthew. “Matthew, let me ask you. Is what Liam said true?”
Matthew responded in a low voice, “I had some conflicts with the Lewis Family earlier tonight.”
Sasha’s expression changed slightly while Liam let out a cold laugh.
Then, James replied, “In that case, you really asked someone to push Dickson to his death. As for Donovan, was he also killed by you?”
Matthew shook his head. “As for Donovan’s death, I don’t know. The scene was chaotic at that time and for some reason, Dickson suddenly fell to his death. I admit I punched Donovan, but not so hard that it would kill him! There is something fishy about this matter!”
Demi immediately said, “Something fishy? How can it be fishy? Matthew, you are a strong, young man. As for the head of the Lewis Family, he was middle-aged, so how can his physical condition be compared to yours? If you punched him, you might have aggravated some unknown illness in him, which caused him to die a sudden death!”
Sasha nervously grabbed his arm.”N-No… How could there be such a coincidence?”
With an ugly look, James crossly added, “Matthew, oh, Matthew. W-What is going on with you? You’ve done well for some time and I’ve begun to think that you’re a good kid after all. Why did you fight with others and make such a big mess out of it?”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1023
A Tiger Can’t Change Its Stripes
James and Helen had indeed changed their attitudes toward Matthew during this period of time where they indeed began to gradually accept him. In fact, James was not convinced of what Liam and Demi said; he even asked Matthew for his side of the story.
However, now that he knew what had transpired, he felt really miserable. If it was something else, he would have been on Matthew’s side. However, it involved the Lewis Family, who belonged to one of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. How could the Cunningham Family even compete with them?
Demi immediately said, “Dad, a tiger can’t change its stripes! I have long said that Matthew is a terrible and useless man. Think about it: he didn’t even finish vocational school. He has no culture, knowledge or proper upbringing. Thus, he is rude and barbaric. This kind of person looks alright on the surface with a little disguise. However, if he gains just a little power, he will really turn into a villain. You see, this time he has even fought with others at a nightclub. Don’t you remember what nightclubs are for? What else can he be fighting in a nightclub for? It must be due to jealousy over some vixen! Matthew, oh, Matthew. My sister is being so good to you, yet this is how you are treating her?”
Sasha anxiously retorted, “Demi, don’t talk nonsense! Matthew is not that kind of person! He must have done it for something else…”
Demi snorted. “Hehe, Sasha, you don’t know him well enough! In fact, you’ve really been fooled by him!”
An upset James asked, “Matthew, tell us. Why did you go to that nightclub tonight? Why did you get into a fight with someone?”
After a sigh, Matthew told the story of what happened earlier. Of course, he didn’t bring up the renovation materials. His narrative involved a mastermind who was out to destroy the Cunninghan Family and since it wasn’t something that they could resolve, Matthew didn’t want them to worry about it.
Upon hearing Matthew’s story, James and the others were taken aback.
“So, it was Dickson who tried to kidnap Sasha and you were so angry that you went to settle the score with him?” James’ expression eased a bit.
No matter what, Matthew didn’t head to the nightclub to have fun, but rather, he went there for Sasha’s sake, which made him feel exceptionally relieved. She had also tightly grasped his hand; she had always believed in him, but she never expected that tonight’s affair to be this messy.
Demi, on the other hand, said indignantly, “Dad, this is all his side of the story. Who knows if it’s true or not? Hmph, Matthew, you can fool others, but you can’t fool me—”
A frowning Matthew was just about to speak when James slammed the table with his fist. “Shut up, Demi!”
Demi tried to speak. “Dad—”
James pointed at her nose. “I told you to shut up! Didn’t you hear me? If you don’t shut up, from now on, you’re no longer welcome at the Cunningham Residence!”
She looked defiant, but eventually fell silent.
He then took a deep breath and continued in a deep voice, “Matthew, if this matter tonight is really as you have said, then you can’t be blamed for any of this. However, the problem is that n-now, this matter has become a big deal. The patriarch of the Lewis Family and his son are dead, so the Lewis Family will certainly not let it go. W-What can we do?”
Sasha hurriedly replied, “Dad, I don’t believe that Donovan was killed by Matthew! I-I demand an autopsy; I will call the police and let them settle this matter!”
With a trembling voice, he asked, “Y-Your mother is still in their hands, though. They also told us to meet them or she will be in danger. Now that two members of the Lewis Family are dead and your mother was kidnapped by them, I-I’m really worried that something will happen to her—”
Matthew replied softly, “It’s okay. I’ll definitely get her home. However, I have a question. Wasn’t s-she supposed to be in the hospital? Why did she suddenly head out?”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1024
Minerva Did It
James shook his head. “I have no idea what’s going on either.”
Demi pouted. “Matthew, if you really want to save my mom, quit yapping! The Lewis Family wants you, so you can just go in exchange for my mom.”
A furious Sasha asked, “Do you hear yourself talking, Demi?”
“What, did I miss a point?” Demi retorted. “All this has happened because of him, so he should be the one to solve the problem, right? What do you think, Dad?”
He glared at her. “Demi, how many times have I told you to be quiet? Also, this incident isn’t entirely Matthew’s fault. Our whole family is involved in this. This incident happened because of Leia!”
Sasha could feel the tears swimming in her eyes; she never thought she would see the day when her father would speak up for Matthew.
Matthew also felt touched because it was the first time ever that James had stood on his side.
Demi, on the other hand, was losing her mind.
Her parents’ recent change in attitude toward Matthew was far too great and she was starting to feel a threat looming over the horizon.
If they grew to completely trust him, how much of the family property would be left for her in the end?
“Dad, I’m saying all this to save Mom! She’s no longer younger and now that the Lewis Family has kidnapped her, what should we do if something bad happens? Matthew said that he can save her, but he hasn’t done anything! How is he going to save her? Also, there are so many people in the Lewis Family and it’s even one of the Ten Greatest Families! How would he be able to save Mom just like that? Since he’s young and strong, why can’t he just go in exchange for Mom?” Demi asked angrily.
James’ expression turned dark. The matter had now involved his wife and he worried greatly for her.
Matthew responded calmly, “Don’t worry, I’ll definitely rescue Mom and bring her back! Sasha, who was it that called you just now? Also, are you very sure that they have Mom?”
Sasha hastily replied, “Yes, I am! They even sent me a video—look!”
She then unlocked her phone and played the video.
It was a small room where Helen was thrown onto the floor with her limbs all tied up.
Not to mention, there was a knife held against her neck.
A cold voice spoke in the video, “We’ll give you one hour to ask Matthew to come over! If not, we’ll start by breaking one of this woman’s legs!”
Demi quickly added, “See! It’s been 20 minutes since then! Matthew, how are you going to rescue Mom? I’m sticking with my words. The best solution is to hand you over for Mom! The Lewis Family is targeting you, so we can only get Mom home in one piece if you go!”
Matthew ignored her as he replied in a low voice, “Sasha, send the video to me. Everyone, stay at home and don’t go anywhere.”
Sasha quickly forwarded the video to him.
James grabbed Matthew’s arm and pleaded in a shaky voice, “Matthew, y-you have to rescue her! I admit that we weren’t nice to you in the past. T-This is our fault, b-but she’s Sasha’s mother after all…”
He then patted James on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, Dad. Leave it to me!”
After briskly walking out of the Cunningham Residence, the first thing he did was give Tiger a call. “How’s the investigation going?”
Tiger replied, “I just discovered some leads and was about to call you! Matthew, I think it’s Minerva.”
Matthew frowned. “Minerva? How is she involved?”
“We found out that Minerva was the one who called your mother-in-law and it was after the call that she left the hospital! So, we suspect that Minerva lured your mother-in-law out of the hospital!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1025
You Will Never Find Her
Matthew was enraged as he had never expected that Minerva would be involved again. “Find her! Also, I’m sending you a video. Help me to figure out where it was taken!”
With that, he forwarded the video to Tiger.
Once he had done so, he drove out of The Grand Garden.
Upon seeing the war between the Lewis Family and Tiger’s men still raging at a distance far away, he clenched his fists.
He had 40 minutes to find Helen. If he failed, he would have to pull out all the stops.
The only choice he had would be to kidnap Aaron and force him to release her!
Less than 5 minutes later, Tiger called. “Matthew, we caught hold of Minerva. Should we send her over?”
Matthew shook his head. “No time. Put her on video call. I have some questions for her!”
Tiger turned on the video call to show Minerva being held down on the floor, but there was a sneer on her face.
“Hello, Matthew. Are you looking for me? What, have you suddenly remembered that we’re relatives? Weren’t you so cool and awesome before this? My younger brother was imprisoned for life, my dad lost his job, and now we lack the money to buy a house. We don’t even have a roof over our heads, all thanks to you!” Minerva bared her teeth as she sneered with no intention of hiding her hatred for Matthew.
He remained calm. “I presume you’re the one who lured Helen out? So, you’re working with the Lewis Family now?”
“Yes, that was me!” She laughed. “The Lewis Family gave me tons of money to do the job! Do you know how much they gave me? 5 million!”
“She doesn’t trust you anymore.” Matthew frowned. “How did you do it?”
Minerva grinned gleefully as she raised her left hand. “Look.”
Her left hand was wrapped in bandages and up until now, there was blood seeping through them.
Now that he understood the situation, he couldn’t help but lose his composure. “Minerva, you are such a shameless woman!”
“Shameless?” Minerva cackled. “Hahaha! I like that phrase! Yes, I am shameless! I video called her and showed myself cutting my own wrist! If she won’t come out, I’ll die right in front of her! And just like that, she came out like an obedient child. Not a bad trick, eh?”
Upon hearing her words, Matthew sighed. Helen was still too soft-hearted toward this bunch of relatives.
“Where is your Aunt Helen now?” he asked in a low voice.
Minerva cackled again. “You want to know so badly, don’t you? Try begging me, then!”
The screen then showed Tiger standing up. “You wretch! If you don’t answer, I’ll kill you!”
She glanced at him. “Oh dear, are you threatening me? Matthew, I’ve already thought of all the possible consequences and scenarios before doing this. Look at the situation my family is in right now. Do you think I’ll fear death?”
Matthew waved his hand and Tiger reluctantly moved aside.
“Minerva, you didn’t hide, so that means you want us to find you!” he said in a low voice. “Speak now. What conditions do you have?”
“You are intelligent, Matthew!” Minerva laughed in response. “However, you’re wrong. I don’t have any conditions. I just wanted you to locate me so that I can watch you fall into despair! You want to find Helen? Haha, it’s impossible! You will never find her! You saw the video, didn’t you? Aren’t you trying oh-so-hard to figure out where it is? Hehe, you guys are a bunch of fools! Haven’t you figured it out? It’s a caravan, not a house at all! And it’s still on the move as we speak! So, even Aaron Lewis doesn’t know where Helen is right now! Even Billy Newman won’t be able to find her! Matthew, you can’t save her, understand? It’s either your life or hers! Hahaha! Aren’t you desperate now!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1026
I Know Where She Is
Upon hearing Minerva’s words, Tiger’s eyes widened in shock. “Woman, you’re out of your mind!”
Matthew frowned.
She was truly insane. It was because of revenge that she allowed him to locate her before provoking her.
However, he retrieved a pertinent piece of information—that is, it would be incredibly difficult to find Helen!
She was in a caravan that was continuously on the go throughout Eastcliff. How am I going to look for her if her location keeps changing?
The only way he could think of now was to hold Aaron hostage and force the Lewis Family into a trade.
At this moment, Minerva suddenly piped up. “Oh, right, Matthew. Are you thinking of catching Aaron and forcing him to hand Helen over? That’s impossible too! Aaron’s father is dead and he has lost the position as the head of the family. He’s in a deeper despair and insanity compared to me! He’s already prepared to die tonight and wants every member of the Cunningham Family, including you and Sasha, to perish with him! Even if you could catch him, he would never compromise! Matthew, now the only way to save Helen is for you to obediently surrender to Aaron. He will do with you as he sees fit and release Helen. So? Are you going to save your mother-in-law or not? Hahaha!”
Matthew’s expression turned dark. What could he do now? He was already out of options.
He fell silent for a while before he hung up the phone, after which he contacted Billy.
It was because he needed Billy’s power to dig through every CCTV footage near the hospital in order to figure out where Helen went.
The call had just connected when Billy’s voice rang out from the other end of the line. “What do I need to do? If necessary, I can round up all the members of the Lewis Family for your sake!”
Billy would always be Billy. He was still as domineering as usual!
Matthew was amazed, but he was also exasperated.
Aaron had gone bananas, so even if they kidnapped every single member of the Lewis Family, he wouldn’t let Helen leave just like that.
So, Billy’s plan wouldn’t work.
Then, Matthew quickly described the plan he had in his mind.
Billy thought for a while before he answered, “No problem! I can send my men to look through every CCTV in town and search all the caravans on the road! You’ll have your answer in 15 minutes!”
As he hung up the phone, Matthew couldn’t help but be in awe.
Did he say look through every CCTV in the entire town and have an answer in 15 minutes? It sounded simple, but he could barely imagine the number of people Billy would mobilize for this operation.
With that single command from Billy, at least 10,000 people would be moved into action!
This was indeed the First King of Eastcliff!
He only had to say the word and it would be done! What majesty!
Matthew sat in the car and was deep in thought for a while. Then, he messaged Tiger, asking him to interrogate Minerva and see whether she would spill the location where she had lured Helen to.
Not long after, the reply came from Tiger.
She didn’t resist at all; she had almost immediately answered the question since she seemed to be extremely confident that Matthew could never locate Helen.
Minerva had lured Helen to an inn near the hotel, but it was just outside the inn that the Lewis Family kidnapped Helen.
Matthew rushed to the inn and immediately barged in.
The attendants were all asleep at this moment, so he walked right up to the counter and pulled up the CCTV recordings at the reception.
One of the attendants woke up in a startled state. “What are you doing?”
In response, he landed a blow on the back of her head with just about enough force to knock her out.
Then, he proceeded with his mission. With the location that Minerva provided in mind, he quickly found the video interface and managed to retrieve the CCTV recordings.
It didn’t take long for Matthew to find the scene where Helen was walking toward the inn. It was true; she was indeed kidnapped at this spot.
After staring at the screen for a moment, he frowned because the situation didn’t seem right.
The timestamp didn’t match the time he had estimated.
At this moment, Billy called. “Mr. Larson, I’m so sorry. We have searched every caravan in Eastcliff, but we couldn’t find Helen.”
However, at that moment, Matthew smiled. “Mr. Newman, you can stop the search now. I know where she is!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1027
Helen Found
Billy was taken aback. “You know where she is?”
Matthew laughed. “I don’t know her location to be exact, but I know how to find her! Mr. Newman, we were looking in the wrong direction all along. Please help me with some investigation. Franklin has two subordinates whom he trusts more than anyone. Their names are Linus and Harry. Please check on them and see what they’re doing!”
“No problem,” Billy replied. “Ken, go and look up where they are right now. Mr. Larson, do you suspect that Franklin was the one who kidnapped Helen?”
“Quite possibly!” Matthew nodded.
Billy was puzzled. “How so?”
In response, Matthew elaborated, “I’m at the inn right now and I’ve looked at the nearby CCTV footage. My mother-in-law’s kidnapping was captured on tape.”
A surprised Billy asked, “And you saw Franklin’s subordinates?”
Matthew shook his head. “No. They were masked, so I couldn’t see their faces clearly. However, the time shown on the footage was 12:53PM!”
After thinking for a long while, Billy responded in a quiet voice, “I see what you mean now!”
Not long after that, Ken rushed over and reported his findings.
Billy then continued, “Ken has managed to discover the locations of Linus and Harry based on the GPS from their phones. I’ll send the location to you. Do you need help from my men?”
Matthew shook his head. “It’s all right; I can handle it on my own! Thank you so much, Mr. Newman!”
It was moments after hanging up that he received Billy’s message. Upon checking the location, he realized that Linus and Harry were in a residential building not far away.
Matthew then glanced at the time. There was 15 minutes to go until the hour was up. He lacked the courage to delay any longer. Therefore, he dropped Tiger a message before speeding toward the location. It took him 7 minutes to arrive at the aforementioned residential building.
Matthew looked around the ground floor before he immediately locked his gaze on the apartment that Billy mentioned. It was located right in the middle of the third floor. The curtains in that apartment were drawn, but a faint light managed to shine through.
Matthew didn’t take the stairs. Rather, he gripped the outdoor pipe for dear life and used it to climb his way up until he arrived at the window of the said apartment. He retrieved a small porcelain bottle from his pocket to unscrew it before he pointed its opening toward the window. Then, he discreetly yanked open the curtains to reveal a small gap before he gently blew at the bottle’s mouth. A faint fog of power immediately drifted into the apartment.
A short while later, Matthew heard two soft thuds coming from the apartment; it was as if someone had fallen down. After that, he clambered down the pipe and took the stairs until he arrived at the apartment door.
There was no response after he reached out to knock on the door. He wasn’t in a rush as he stood by the door and waited patiently.
Soon, a young man ran over while panting. When he saw Matthew, he immediately said, “Mr. Larson, Master Tiger has sent me. What are your orders?”
Before Matthew set out, he had texted Tiger, asking Tiger to send a picklock over. The lockpicker must be the young man standing in front of him.
Matthew pointed at the door. “Unlock it.”
The young man scrutinized it for a bit before he instantly announced, “No problem.”
He fished out a wire from his pocket and inserted it into the keyhole. 10 seconds had barely passed by when a ‘click’ was heard followed by the unlocked door.
Upon seeing such a scene, Matthew stared at the man in awe. He has a solid set of skills.
The man looked awkward as he smiled in embarrassment. “Mr. Larson, I used to sneak into houses and help myself to some stuff. You see, these… are all survival skills.”
It was at this point when Matthew immediately came to the realization that the man was a thief.
As he pushed open the door and entered, he found the living room empty and deserted. There were two bedrooms, but their doors were shut tight.
Then, Matthew opened the door to one of the bedrooms, only to find that it was deserted as well. Another bedroom door was, unfortunately, locked from the inside. However, the locked door lost its purpose with the young lockpicker here as he swiftly picked the door open.
They entered and found three people on the floor of the bedroom. One of them was Matthew’s mother-in-law, Helen!
Matthew sighed in relief because the rescue mission was a success.
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1028
You Shouldn’t Trust Matthew
The men on the floor were Linus and Harry, who were Franklin’s most trusted lackeys.
Matthew went over to help Helen up and untie her. Then, he took out a porcelain bottle and put it under her nose.
After she inhaled the contents of the bottle, she slowly regained consciousness, but the moment she did, she gasped and scurried off to a corner. “Don’t hit me! Please don’t hit me.”
Matthew quickly said, “It’s fine, Mom. It’s me, Matthew. Everything is fine. Nobody’s going to hit you.”
Helen took a closer look, then she froze up and started crying. Her hair was unkempt, her face was bruised, and she had been kicked all over. Apparently, she had been tortured in here for a while. Helen was just a civilian, so she had never gone through such abuse. Understandably, she was distraught.
Matthew calmed her down and video-called Sasha after Helen had settled down a little.
Back in the villa at Grand Garden, Demi complained, “It’s been an hour. A whole hour! What’s taking that loser so long? If Mom’s hurt, I’m giving him a piece of my mind! You guys shouldn’t have trusted him! He’s going to get Mom killed.”
James sighed. “What should we do? If something happens to your mother, I don’t think I’d be able to face it. Sasha, can Matthew really save her?”
Before Sasha could say anything, Liam said, “No way, Dad. The Lewises are behind this. There’s no way someone like Matthew could stand up against them. Besides, we don’t even know where they’re keeping Mom, so how are we supposed to save her? You shouldn’t have let Matthew handle this.”
James sighed again. He was starting to regret his decision as well.
Sasha snapped, “Shut up, will you? It hasn’t even been an hour. He’ll save her. I’m sure of it.”
Demi snickered. “You still think he can make it? Well, if he can bring Mom home, I’ll eat my words!”
Liam sneered. “Forget it, Sasha. That loser isn’t as powerful as you think he is. You’re gonna regret it if something happens to Mom.”
Sasha paled, but then her phone rang. When she saw who it was, some color returned to her face. “It’s Matthew! He’s got news!”
James huddled closer. “So? Did he find your mother? How is she?”
Demi and Liam scoffed.
“I bet he’s giving up. It’s almost time, so I bet he’s trying to blame someone else for his incompetence. Well, I’m not letting it go. He promised to save Mom, and I will hold it against him.”
Sasha ignored her and took the video call. But before Matthew could say anything, Demi shouted, “It’s been an hour, Matthew! If anything happens to my mother, I will kill you!”
Matthew frowned in annoyance, but he said nothing and simply aimed the phone’s camera at Helen. Demi didn’t even bother looking at the screen and continued shouting, “Don’t even think about running, Matthew! You—”
At this moment, James darted over and slapped his b*tch of a daughter. “Get lost, you moron! Give me the phone! That’s your mother! Matthew found her!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1029
Useless Daughter
Sasha saw her mother as well. She didn’t look too good, but at least she was in one piece. Sasha heaved a sigh of relief, and she was excited about the fact that Matthew managed to do what he promised.
James kept asking how Helen was doing, but she wouldn’t stop sobbing, though she did answer him from time to time.
Matthew took the phone back. “She’s fine now, Dad. I’ll send her home. Calm down and wait for me.”
James nodded. “I will. Thank you, Matthew. Really, I mean it. I would be lost without you.” He hung up and wiped the tears off his face. Those were tears of joy.
Demi and Liam stood beside them, gawking.
It was then that Sasha remembered what they said, and she was furious. “Demi, Liam, didn’t you guys say Matthew couldn’t bring Mom back just now? What do you have to say now?”
Demi and Liam looked awkward. They wouldn’t stop mocking Matthew earlier, but now, everything they said came back to bite them in the *ss.
“Why aren’t you saying anything? I thought you guys loved to talk? Didn’t you say you were gonna eat your words, Demi?” Sasha growled. She had been tolerating the two of them for a while now, so once she got the chance, she hopped on it and defended Matthew.
Angered, Demi roared back, “S-So what if he did it? Mom has bruises all over her! None of this would have happened if he didn’t kill those Lewis guys. Mom wouldn’t have been kidnapped either! Don’t be so smug about this, Sasha! Matthew started all this, so don’t defend h—”
Before she could finish, James came over and slapped her again, but this time with even more strength. “Shut up, you moron!” he roared.
Demi was stunned by the slap, but she was furious as well. “W-Why did you do that, Dad? I wasn’t wrong. Matthew’s the one who started this whole mess, and Mom got kidnapped because of what he did.”
James raised his hand again, and Demi hid behind Liam. Liam looked horrified as well. He kept retreating and tried to get Demi to stop her father in case James slapped him.
James glared at them. “You’re both trash! None of you came up with a plan to save Helen! Instead, you guys kept blabbering and mocking Matthew. The both of you were no help at all! Heck, you guys hindered Matthew’s efforts while he was out there trying to save your mom. Do you want your mom dead or something? You’re worse than scum! Both of you!”
Demi panicked. “I didn’t drag us down. I-I came up with a plan too. I said that we could send Matthew to the Lewises and let them do whatever they wanted to him. Mom could have been saved that way too, but he had refused to go. He’s a coward.”
James finally snapped, and he picked up the mug on the table and hurled it at Demi. Demi quickly got out of the way, so the mug smashed into pieces. Dad’s really angry. Demi shivered in fear.
James pointed at her angrily. “You idiot child! You’re still trying to weasel your way out of this! I’m going to break your legs!” James went over to her furiously, but the moment he got up, the world around him started spinning, and everything went black.

Seeing James fainting, Sasha quickly caught him. “Dad? Dad, are you alright? Don’t scare me!” she kept calling out to him and massaged his temples.
Demi was petrified and shaking, but she didn’t dare to come over to check on James.
James woke up a while later. He looked at Sasha first, and when he turned to Demi, his gaze was filled with disappointment. Sighing, he said, “I’ve been too harsh on you, Sasha. I should not have treated Matthew the way I did. You two are the ones who really care about us, but I was too blind to see it.” James even started to cry in the end.
Sasha was delighted but also sad for her father. “I’m glad you can see that, Dad. It doesn’t matter what happened in the past. All that matters is that we treat Matthew well from now on.”
James wiped his tears away. “Honestly, now that I think of it, I had been nothing but an abuser to Matthew. I always thought he married you for our money, but now I see that he doesn’t care about that. I’ve been too harsh on the both of you.”
Demi couldn’t take it anymore and blurted, “What do you mean, Dad? We care about you too!”
James shot her a glare. “Really? Let me ask you then. What did you two do while Helen was captured? Did you even help out?”
Demi defended herself. “I-I wanted to help, but I had no idea how. Besides, Matthew’s the one who started—”
“Shut up!” James shot back. “You know better than anyone how this whole mess started. Matthew didn’t cause it. Technically speaking, we started this whole thing.”
Demi couldn’t believe what she was hearing. “What? But why? Matthew’s the one who killed those guys.”
James growled angrily, “And you know why he did that. He did it for Heidi. She’s the reason he got himself into this mess. Strictly speaking, Heidi’s our family, not his. But still, Matthew fought the Lewises just to help her out and got himself into this sticky situation. It’s obvious that he cares about us more than you do.”
Demi couldn’t argue against that, but a while later, she mumbled, “Then that’s Aunt Heidi’s fault. Why did you vent on me?”
James was trembling with rage, and he gnashed his teeth. “What the heck did you just say? That’s Heidi. She’s probably the only good person in your mother’s family. Of course we need to help her out. If either you or Sasha got in trouble in the future, you would help each other out, wouldn’t you? Honestly, I don’t regret helping her out one bit.”
Demi still wasn’t convinced. “Yeah, we helped, but so what? It wasn’t a big deal in the first place, but Matthew blew the whole thing out of proportion.”
James shouted, “You think he wanted to do that? The Lewises did that. Honestly, this whole mess is on your mother and her family. Matthew had nothing to do with it. He could have stayed out of it and nobody would say anything, but he didn’t. He antagonized the Lewises to help your mother and her family out, but what about you? What makes you think you have the right to point fingers at him?”
