The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1061
Taking Control of the Lewis Family
The other families each expressed their support as well.
Old Master Lewis’s expression completely darkened, and he said in a deep voice, “Aaron is just a temporary replacement to solving the current issue first. There’s nothing wrong with that.”
Robert chuckled. “Haha, Old Master Lewis, the acting head of the family, represents the entire family. Aaron will apologize to Matthew and the Cunningham Family tomorrow in front of everyone in Eastcliff. If you let him become the head of the family, are you intending to make the whole Lewis Family apologize to Matthew? ”
Bursting with anger, Old Master Lewis said through gritted teeth, “Master Sandel, you’ve really considered it thoroughly! How about we let Aaron’s younger brother—”
Robert interrupted him before he could finish. “Aaron has two younger brothers. One is nineteen years old, and the other is only eleven years old. Hah, Old Master Lewis, do you think they are suitable to lead the family? ”
With his eyes widening in shock, Old Master Lewis suddenly looked straight at Robert. It was only then that he finally understood that Robert didn’t only want to help a single person to the top, but also wanted to drive those who were on his side out. As both of Old Master Lewis’ sons were dead, Donovan’s son could not be the head, let alone Franklin’s son. Who else in the Lewis Family could be the head of the family? With the change of a new head, the Lewis Family’s power was about to be transferred.
Old Master Lewis’ expression turned bitter, and he roared angrily, “Then, who do you think is more suitable to be the acting head of the family, Master Sandel?”
With a smile, Robert replied, “I think Felix is a better fit!”
As soon as the words left his mouth, several other family leaders immediately spoke out in support.
Felix’s performance tonight reflected his responsible and courageous nature. Not only that, but he also personally rescued Old Master Lewis and saved the family from the crisis. In fact, even many people in the Lewis Family were in support of Felix. They all thought that Felix was the best fit for being the head of the family!
On the contrary, Old Master Lewis’ face had completely frozen after he realized that Robert and the others were in support of Felix. However, with a glance at the expressions of everyone in the family, he knew that he could not object to this matter. Felix has already won the hearts of everyone in the Lewis Family for everything he had done that night. If Old Master Lewis objected now, not only would the nine other families put pressure on him, but even the Lewis Family would not heed his words.
Although he was extremely unwilling, he finally nodded. “Master Sandel’s proposal is not bad. Felix, what do you think about being the acting head of the family?”
Felix hurriedly replied, “Old Master Lewis, I’m afraid that I won’t be able to take on such a big responsibility!”
Old Master Lewis pretended to persuade him, and in the end, Felix finally agreed to step up to the role. Hence, the Ten Greatest Families were overjoyed, and the nine other families finally left the scene.
After they left, Old Master Lewis’ face darkened. Without a single glance at Felix, he immediately went straight back to the small building where he lived. As soon as he returned, he called a few confidants to discuss the matter with them.
Old Master Lewis was absolutely unwilling to let Felix be the head of the family. He still wanted people from his side to continue controlling everything in the family. Therefore, he was prepared to let these confidants think of a way to drive Felix from the position of the patriarch. It was best if he was able to kill Felix quickly and end everything so as not to cause more accidents!
However, before their discussions could come to a conclusion, Old Master Lewis suddenly fell into a coma. Though the Lewis Family immediately rushed him to the hospital, after a series of emergency resuscitations, Old master Lewis passed away in the hospital.
At that time, Felix had just become the acting head of the family. As Old Master Lewis passed away, no one could suppress Felix. Now that the Lewis members that were on Old Master Lewis’s side had completely withdrawn from the center of power, Felix finally took full control of the Lewis Family!

Are You Really Alright?
Meanwhile, at The Grand Garden, Sasha had made several attempts to act recklessly and chase after Matthew. But she was constantly stopped by Helen. As for James, he had been snooping around, attempting to find out the situation at the Lewis Family through various channels.
Unlike everyone else in the room, Liam and Demi were the most carefree ones at this moment.
“Dad, stop wasting your energy on him. Matthew’s definitely in deep trouble today. So, why do you still bother about him? I would disassociate myself from him if I were you. That’s how things should be done, is it not? Otherwise, what should we do if the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff decide to hold us accountable?” Demi said with a smile on her face.
Upon hearing that, James glared at Demi angrily. “Shut up!”
Demi pouted her lips. “But, Dad! I’m simply telling the truth! What? Do you honestly think that Matthew can make it back unharmed? Right now, the evidence presented is conclusive. If he really is able to flee from the wrath of the Lewis Family, then pigs might fly!”
Enraged by Demi’s words, Sasha flushed with anger. Just as she was about to speak, the door suddenly opened.
Matthew!
As if tricks were being played out in front of their eyes, everyone in the room was stunned for a moment. They were too shocked to respond, and they could only stare at Matthew with their eyes bulging out.
The first person to snap back to their senses was Sasha. At once, she let out a scream and quickly ran toward Matthew. Then, she threw herself into Matthew’s arms.
“Matthew, you’ve returned! You’re unharmed, yes? Thank goodness! I know you’ll be just fine.” Tears kept pouring out as Sasha spoke.
Whilst in the period of suspense earlier, she was swamped with anxiety.
As if she had seen a ghost, Demi immediately jumped with fright. “How is that possible? How can you possibly return unharmed? Matthew, did someone from the Lewis Family follow you back in hopes of capturing us all? Y-You should be responsible for your own doings. Why are you dragging us all into this matter together with you?”
In a fit of panic, James and Helen peeked outside at their courtyard after they heard what Demi had said. However, there was not a single soul spotted in the yard.
Ignoring Demi’s words, Matthew took Sasha’s hand and consoled her softly. “Why are you crying, silly?”
Feeling extremely dissatisfied with the situation, Demi exclaimed, “Bullsh*t! There was evidence! Solid evidence! H-How could you possibly be fine? Matthew, you snooped past under their noses, didn’t you? You better leave! Leave now! Don’t drag our family into this mess!”
The moment Demi’s words rang in Matthew’s ears, he spoke coldly. “Evidence? The evidence they had did not prove anything!”
Once again, Demi exclaimed, “Nonsense! That was the verified evidence from the police station. I don’t believe you! You must have escaped. Get out! Now! Don’t you dare attempt to drag us down with you!” As Demi said that, she pushed Matthew out.
Unable to restrain herself, Sasha slapped Demi in the face. “Shut up! Matthew said everything was fine. What more do you possibly want?”
Covering her face, Demi barked, “What the hell, Sasha?! I’m doing this for our family’s own good! Once the members of the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff notice he has escaped, they will definitely hunt him down. And if they follow his trail to our house, they will definitely think we’re his accomplices. By then, our family will be doomed…”
Sasha’s face was livid with anger. “I believe in Matthew. If he says it’s fine, then it’s fine! You can leave if you’re so fearful of getting dragged into this mess! No one’s holding you back! Also, stop saying our house! You’re married, and this place is my home, not yours. This house was purchased under Matthew’s name, so pack your bags and get lost!”
Furiously, Demi turned to look at James and Helen. “Mom! Dad! Look at your wonderful daughter! Is it wrong for me to care for our family? She even claims that this house belongs to her and Matthew. If that’s the case, does that mean you two are not allowed to stay here too?”
Again, Demi tried to infuriate both James and Helen using reverse psychology. However, this time, James merely ignored her.
Instead, James took a deep breath and whispered, “M-Matthew, are you really alright?”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1063
This Is Your Compensation
Matthew nodded. “I’m really fine, Dad.”
Reassured by Matthew’s words, James stared at him for a while. Then, he finally nodded. “I believe you, Matthew!”
“It’s fine now, Sasha. Don’t cry… Matthew has returned. Isn’t that great? Come here quickly. Let’s head inside.”
Upon seeing this, Demi immediately panicked. “Dad… W-Why did you let him in? It’s as clear as day that he escaped! If people from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff come looking for him, what should we do? Do you want our family to get into trouble too because of him?
Hearing that, James glared at Demi angrily. “If you are that fearful, you know where the door is!”
At once, Demi’s facial complexion changed after she was yelled at by James. Dad’s siding with Matthew?! In an instant, Demi had lost someone whom she could count on!
“Mom…”
Looking at Helen, Demi tried asking for help. However, Helen merely waved her off. “Demi, can you stop looking for trouble?”
Regardless of Demi’s plea, this matter occurred because of Helen’s sister––Heidi.
Furthermore, Matthew had rescued Helen when she was taken away prior to this. Thus, deep down, Helen was more grateful to Matthew.
Hence, Demi was at her wit’s end––even her own mom and dad refused to help her. What else could she do?
Standing by the door, Demi watched as Matthew entered the house. At that moment, she was feeling extremely embarrassed as she didn’t know whether to leave or stay.
All of a sudden, a group of people barged into the courtyard.
“Excuse me, miss. I’m looking for Matthew Larson. Does he live here?” questioned the man who appeared to be the head of the group.
Instead of answering him, Demi merely glanced at the group of people. “Who are you?”
Then, the man smiled and replied, “Oh, allow me to introduce myself. I’m from the Lewis Family. The name’s Freddy Lewis…”
Upon hearing that, Demi immediately jumped with joy.
“Mom! Dad! The members of the Lewis Family are here, and they’re looking for Matthew! Just as I’ve said––he must have escaped. The three of you wouldn’t listen to me when I told you to not let him enter the house. I shall see what’s your next move now that trouble has come to our doorstep!”
Immediately, there was a change in both James’ and Helen’s facial expressions. Is this really the case?
Yet, no sign of anxiety could be seen on Matthew’s face. In fact, he was rather calm. “Let them in!”
Hearing that, Demi laughed. “Oh. Matthew. Of course I’ll let them in! They’re from the Ten Greatest Families of Eastcliff. What’s the matter? Are you afraid to let them in? However, I advise you to surrender. Oh, and please don’t break any furniture in this house. They’re still in good condition. I don’t wish to splurge extra money on buying new furniture once Liam and I move in here in the future.”
Agreeing with Demi, Liam smiled and nodded. As long as Matthew was no longer alive, they would be able to move in and live here for good. Besides, they could annex all the properties belonging to the Cunningham Family in the future.
At once, Freddy and the rest of the group walked in after hearing Matthew’s words.
Frightened, James’ and Helen’s faces were as white as sheets. Their bodies were even trembling like a leaflet.
Meanwhile, Liam and Demi grinned from ear to ear, revealing complacent smiles.
At that instant, Freddy said in a respectful manner, “I’m sorry for disturbing you, Mr. Larson. As mentioned by the Lewis Family before, we will give you 300 million worth of compensation regarding the incident that took place this time! A moment ago, we had already transferred the money into this card on behalf of the substitute head of the Lewis Family, Felix. I came all the way over here to pass you this card, and I would also wish to apologize to you personally. Normally, this matter should be carried out by the head of the Lewis Family. However, something came up, and I’m afraid his current urgency is elsewhere. Therefore, he couldn’t come over in person. Please pardon us of any offense made toward you personally, Mr. Larson.”
Having said that, Freddy held the bank card in both hands and handed it to Matthew humbly.
The sight of this stunned everyone in the house.
James and Helen, who were still sweating a bucket, remained frozen in their spots. For almost a minute, they couldn’t even begin to react.
What’s happening here? The members of the Lewis Family aren’t here to look for trouble. Instead, they’re here to apologize and to compensate? So what Matthew had said was true after all. He’s really fine? Not only is he in one piece, but the Lewis Family also gave him 300 million worth of compensation. That’s such a large sum of money.
As for Demi and Liam, they felt as if their eyeballs were about to pop out. What on earth is going on?
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1064
As Expected, You Did Not Disappoint Me
Calmly, Matthew took over the bank card and handed it to Sasha, who was standing beside him.
“I must say… I didn’t expect the Lewis Family to do things so promptly. Seeing as you all had come to apologize personally, I’ll let this matter slide. Alright, you all may go back now!”
Freddy was overjoyed at Matthew’s words. Once again, he said, in a respectful manner, “Thank you, Mr. Larson! Thank you. Well then, I shall bid my farewell first. Sorry for disturbing you.”
With that, Freddy, alongside the rest of the members of the Lewis Family, left The Grand Garden.
Meanwhile, the atmosphere inside the house was as silent as the dead. Apart from Matthew, the rest of the Cunningham Family were too shocked to utter a word.
After a long while, James finally regained his senses. “Matthew, is… is the matter truly solved?”
Understanding James’ worry, Matthew smiled and said, “Dad, of course it’s true! Look, the members of the Lewis Family even came over here to apologize.”
Overwhelmed with joy, James patted Matthew’s shoulder frantically. “Good job, Matthew! As expected, you didn’t disappoint me! I… I told them you’d be fine! This is really wonderful! Everyone, come… Helen, go open a bottle of wine! Let’s celebrate!”
Just like James, Helen was also delighted. And thus, she ran over to the alcohol cabinet and grabbed a bottle of wine.
Deep down, Matthew was quite relieved after seeing James’ and Helen’s reactions.
James and Helen had always been prejudiced against me in the past. I guess… After encountering so many incidents, their attitudes toward me finally changed.
“Sasha, deposit 30 million out of these 300 million into Master Tiger’s account. He and his men had helped us a lot last night. So, I’m sure many of his men must have sustained injuries after the commotion with the Lewis Family last night. The least that we can do for them is to defray the cost of their medical expenses,” Matthew said.
Agreeing with Matthew, Sasha immediately nodded. “Sure thing!”
Displeased, Demi hurriedly approached Matthew and Sasha. “It’s just medical expenses! Is it necessary for you to give them such a large sum of money!? We’re not talking about 3,000 nor 30 thousand here. It’s freaking 30 million! Matthew, just exactly how many of them were injured? I speculate, at most, a dozen or so were injured last night. So, are you saying each of them gets a few million? How can you simply spend the money like that?”
Besides Demi, James and Helen were also reluctant to part with the money. After all, 30 million was not exactly a penny or two.
Upon hearing that, Sasha frowned. “What would you know? Do you even know the number of people the Lewis Family sent over last night? If I was to describe it, it was like an earnest battle! The cost of the medical expenses didn’t matter much. What matters is that Master Tiger and his men fought hard for us. We can’t disappoint them, can we? Besides, Master Tiger dispatched at least a few hundred men over to help us out last night. Do you think these men would carry out the work without hoping for some sort of bounty in return? What’s more, if it weren’t for these men, I couldn’t imagine the tragedy which would fall upon us last night. So, I don’t see any wrong in giving them some money.”
Hearing that, James acknowledged the truth in Sasha’s words.
Constantly nodding his head, James added, “Sasha’s right! Your mother almost died when she was taken away last night. In other words, these 300 million can also be considered as their contributions for lending us a hand last night. So, giving them 30 million is the least we can do!”
Seeing that James agreed with Sasha, Demi felt all the more anxious. “B-But… it’s 30 million that we’re talking about! Is it necessary to give such a large sum of money?”
Again, Sasha glared at Demi. “Oh, why do you care? The Lewis Family paid this money to Matthew, not to you. So, you have no say in this matter. Besides, did you not express your intention to leave earlier? You can leave now! No one’s asking you to stay.”
At once, Demi’s face turned red with anger. Seeing James and Helen ignoring her, she turned around and said, “Forget it! I’m too tired to continue arguing on this matter with all of you! I’m going to hit the hay for the night. All of you are down to your own fate.”
Tch… ‘Donating’ such a large sum of money as if it’s mere pieces of coins. What a prodigal! Demi grumbled to herself while heading to the bedroom. Trailing behind her, Liam quietly sneaked into the bedroom. Then, he quickly closed the door behind him, hiding both him and Demi away from the outside.
Sasha’s face was livid with anger at the sight of this. Demi and Liam are truly shameless. Do they have no sense of honor? Why are they still residing here? Don’t tell me they’re planning to stay here with no intention of ever leaving!
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1065
Helen Apologizes
Feeling embarrassed by Demi’s actions, James sighed. “I… I apologize on her behalf, Matthew. I’ll see to it that she behaves better next time. She’s just being unreasonable!”
Hearing that James had said so, Matthew could only smile and ignore Demi’s rude behavior.
At that moment, both James and Helen fixated their stares on the bank card. 300 million is on that card.
Upon noticing this, Matthew frowned slightly. Are they still eyeing this 300 million?
After thinking for a moment, Matthew said softly, “Mom… Dad… This card… How about I leave it to the both of you for safekeeping?”
As he said that, Matthew planned to test James and Helen’s conscience. He wanted to find out if the two had truly turned over a new leaf.
Like a child with a new toy, James was overjoyed at Matthew’s words. He reached out his hands and wanted to take the card.
The same went for Helen. Her eyes sparkled with excitement after she heard Matthew’s words. However, she eventually stopped James.
“It’s fine. We’re of a certain age, so I don’t think we’re that capable of managing such a large sum of money. Besides, Matthew, this money is the compensation paid to you by the Lewis Family. During this period of time, you must have gone through a lot of trouble from the incidents caused by my family. Thus, it’s beyond reasonable for the money to be yours to keep. Likewise, your construction company is surely in need of financial resources. Your Dad and I… We don’t need this money. We truly don’t…”
Helen’s voice actually trembled a little when she uttered those words. It was as clear as day that she really wanted the money. However, she eventually made the right choice!
Hearing that, Sasha was greatly pleased with her mother’s words as this was exactly the outcome she had always wished for. Even if her parents did not accept Matthew fully as their son-in-law, the least they could do was to show him some respect!
Apart from Sasha, Matthew was also surprised. He did not expect that Helen’s character would change so much after she had experienced these incidents.
As for James, though he also felt reluctant, he eventually nodded and said, “Matthew, Helen’s right! You can keep this money. Keep up the good work. In the future, I’ll hand the family affairs over to you and Sasha!”
Touched by James’ words, Sasha was on the verge of her tears and nodded vigorously.
Nodding his head, Matthew was also moved by James’ words. “Mom… Dad… I will definitely not let you down!”
Then, Matthew turned to Sasha and said, “Oh, and Sasha… The money on this card… Do transfer another 30 million to your parents’ account later.”
Upon hearing that, James waved his hand. “Oh, there’s no need for that. Why would we need so much money?”
With a sense of seriousness in his voice, Matthew added, “Mom… Dad… I’ve noticed that the business at the pharmacy is blooming recently. So, I think it’s time to open a few new branches. That 30 million… It’s for you two to open up a new branch.”
As if remembering something, Matthew said again, “Also, Sasha, transfer another 10 million into your parents’ savings account.”
After that, he turned to both James and Helen. “Mom, Dad, take this money and buy whatever you want. Spend it as you wish.”
Upon hearing that, James and Helen felt like they were on cloud nine. The more they looked at Matthew, the more content they felt.
At once, Helen waved his hand and said, “10 million? T-That’s too much…”
Matthew smiled. “Mom, just take it. Besides, it’s not like our family’s currently penniless. It’s just 10 million. Alright, end of discussion.”
Sasha nodded. “That’s right! Mom, Dad, this is a little token of Matthew’s gratitude, so please don’t turn him down!”
Only then did James and Helen nod. Sure enough, the two of them grinned from ear to ear.
He’s giving us 10 million as our pocket money in one go? Matthew’s simply being too generous!
Eyes filled with tears, Helen constantly nodded and said in a trembling voice, “Such a fine young man you are, Matthew. I apologize for the way I treated you in the past. Right now, I feel very guilty and I truly regret my past actions toward you. You… You are so much better than Liam.”
Trying to lighten up the atmosphere, James smiled and said, “Oh, stop saying these words. Matthew’s much better than we thought! Sasha, I now realized that consenting to the marriage between the two of you was the smartest decision I’ve ever made in my life! Alright, you two go along and have a good life. Next time, if someone dares to make irresponsible remarks about the two of you, I… I’ll be the first person to skin that someone alive!”
Sasha felt over the moon at James’ words. To her, the 300 million worth of compensation was not worth as much as her parents’ approval of Matthew.
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1066
Do You Wish for Matthew’s Death?
Meanwhile, in the bedroom, Demi’s and Liam’s facial expressions were depressingly dark as they listened to the laughter coming from outside.
“I don’t understand. How can this be? How can things turn out this way? How can Matthew be fine and come back unharmed? I thought the Lewis Family had all the evidence. But why didn’t they kill him? Liam, could it be that you have been deceived? Was the evidence presented fake?” Demi questioned irritably.
With a bewildered look, Liam said, “I doubt so. The likelihood of the evidence presented turning out to be fake is low. My buddies got it from the police station and handed it over to me. I trust them, so there’s no way the evidence could be fake!”
Confused and agitated, Demi questioned again, “Then, what the hell is going on?”
Unable to enlighten Demi on that matter, Liam merely scratched his head. He, too, was at a loss for words.
“Calm down, Demi. Now’s not the time for us to dive deep into this matter. As for now, it’s important that we pay attention to your parents’ favor toward Matthew. They have started to side with him. If this continues, what will happen to us in the future?” Liam said, feeling anxious.
Upon hearing that, Demi felt vastly discontented. Her face turned as pale as death. Even so, she could not do anything to turn the tables.
Right at this moment, Demi’s cell phone suddenly rang.
The moment Demi answered her phone, a voice as cold as ice rang in her ears. “Do you wish for Matthew’s death?”
The next morning, the news about the passing of Old Master Lewis spread throughout Eastcliff.
At the same time, the news about Felix being promoted as the head of the Lewis Family also got around.
Instantly, the entire Eastcliff was in an uproar.
The influence yielded by the Lewis Family was rather formidable. In Eastcliff, the family remained as one of the ‘ruling’ families that not a single person dared to mess with.
No one would have imagined that the Lewis Family’s world was being turned upside down in just mere days.
First, it was the death of the head of the family—Donovan Lewis, followed by the death of Old Master Lewis. But, the shock did not end there. What shocked the entire Eastcliff was that there had been a major shift in power in the Lewis Family. Against all odds, an insignificant member such as Felix was appointed as the new head of the Lewis Family.
In the meantime, at Billy’s home, it was ten o’clock in the morning. Matthew and Billy were sitting face to face with each other. Sitting next to them was Brittany, attired all in white. She was making tea for the two of them.
Brittany’s health was gradually recovering. Day by day, she became more and more beautiful.
Although she had not turned twenty years old yet, her beauty was on par with that of Sasha and Leanna.
In the future, she might even surpass both Sasha and Leanna, becoming the most desired beauty in Eastcliff.
Looking at Matthew, Billy chuckled. “Matthew, I must say… You really impressed me this time! It was really out of my expectation! You resolved the vicious attack from the Lewis Family so effortlessly. Moreover, you even took the opportunity to take control of the Lewis Family. One tough cookie you are!”
Following that, Matthew replied, “I was simply taking advantage of the opportunity. There are also some familial conflicts being fought within the Lewis Family. Otherwise, I couldn’t disrupt them from the core so easily. However, I’m afraid the situation has become more complicated than before.”
Upon hearing that, Billy put down his teacup and chuckled. “Why did you say so?”
Calmly, Matthew explained, “I’ve always thought that the one who supported the Lewis Family from behind was a highly influential family in Eastshire, such as the Hughes. However, I found out later that it turned out to be someone from Orleans. Knowing the late Old Master Lewis, he was a cunning and sly person, so it was out of his character to act if he was uncertain of his strength. Surprisingly, this time, he didn’t oppose the idea of letting the Lewis Family go up against me. This shows that the Lewis Family has faith in their strength and that Old Master Lewis feels that he is completely capable of dealing with me. So, I speculate that the Lewis Family isn’t the only family that has their hands involved in this matter. Among the Ten Great Families of Eastcliff, there might be a few others that joined in as well. To be able to convince and overpower several Great Families, this certain figure is surely not an easy character.”
After hearing that, Billy nodded slowly. “It’s good that you’re being vigilant on this matter. After all, we can’t judge a book by its cover. The mastermind behind this matter is the key person. So, Matthew, are you coming to me in hopes I could help you find out who’s the mastermind?”
Shaking his head, Matthew replied, “About that… Since I desire to take down the Ten Great Families of Eastcliff personally, I wish to handle this matter myself. I’m just worried that the mastermind behind this matter will harm my family and my wife. Mr. Newman, the favor I wanted to ask from you is to send someone to protect them.”
Admired by Matthew’s courage, Billy glanced at him and slowly nodded. “Feel free to carry out your plan! I’ll keep your family safe!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1067
War Is Cruel
After walking out of Billy’s house, Matthew finally heaved a sigh of relief. Now… I need to start focusing on dealing with the Orleanians.
However, the Orleanians were known to be unpredictable and act without moral baselines. Thus, Matthew was even more worried that they would aim for Sasha and Natalie. Right now, his hands were tied to the point that he could not protect them personally. He was left with no choice but to seek help from Billy.
With both Sasha and Natalie under Billy’s protection, Matthew would have nothing to be worried about!
Then, he immediately drove to Wilson’s hotel and arrived at the top floor. At that time, Wilson and Felix were already there.
Wilson recounted the incident that happened after Matthew had left last night.
As soon as Wilson was done with his ‘storytelling’, Matthew merely sneered. “That Robert… He really is a scoundrel, isn’t he? But… now is not the time to deal with him yet!”
Upon hearing that, Felix nodded. Then, he went silent for a moment before whispering, “Mr. Larson, my uncle’s injury last night… It isn’t life-threatening, is it?”
Clearing Felix’s doubt, Matthew answered, “No, it’s not. His injury isn’t deadly to the point it could kill him. Nonetheless, he must die! Otherwise, your position as the head of the family will be tottery.”
Shocked by Matthew’s words, Felix took a deep breath. His words… Did he just… Did Matthew just admit that he’d killed my uncle?
As a matter of fact, Matthew was no doubt the killer.
At that time, Old Master Lewis only sustained minor injuries. However, Matthew secretly poisoned him. At first, Old Master Lewis could not feel anything, but after a few hours, the poison spread throughout his body and took his life right there and then. What made it more crucial was that not even modern medical studies could detect the slightest trace of the poison.
Matthew glanced at Felix and said coldly, “The achievement of a general costs thousands of lives. Mercy and kindness had no place in a war, Felix! Be kind, and you will find yourself buried in a grave!”
Felix looked at Matthew, seeming to be taken aback by his words.
I really don’t understand. How could a fine young man like Matthew emit such a murderous aura?
Well, what Felix did not know was that Matthew had survived a plunging sea of bloodbaths.
Back then, the Larson Family was one big family. It far exceeded the current so-called Ten Great Families of Eastcliff. However, thousands of them died in a cold-blooded massacre.
Matthew was only twelve years old when the massacre took place. Having witnessed a bloody massacre at such a young age, a mere dead person did not mean anything to him.
At that time, those people wanted to exterminate the lineage and killed thousands of Larson Family members. Now, it’s time for Matthew to seek revenge. If I still show them mercy, then what’s the point of my revenge?
Meanwhile, Wilson nodded calmly. “I think Mr. Larson is right! Isn’t it normal for the members of a big family to secretly scheme against one another? Besides, look at the princes back in ancient times; they would fight and kill not just between noblemen and princes, but even the emperor was not spared from such fights just so that they could be the wearer of the crown! Felix, even if you’re now the head of the Lewis Family, I still think anyone from your family can threaten your current position!”
Of course, Felix knew that Wilson was hinting at him to kill Aaron.
Feeling upset, Felix sighed. “I understand the importance of eliminating potential threats… But, they are still my relatives after all. How about I exile them from Eastcliff and prohibit them from stepping into here in the future?”
Disagreeing with Felix, Wilson frowned. Then, he turned to look at Matthew, who was beside him.
In a soft tone, Matthew said, “As you wish, Felix. However, all of these are your own decisions. I hope you will not regret them in the future!”
Understanding what Matthew meant, Felix nodded slowly. “I won’t regret it!”
Matthew was noncommittal. Since this is his decision, Felix alone will bear the consequences.
“By the way, Mr. Larson… I’ve brought Franklin’s mobile phone as requested by you. But, I’ve found nothing on it so far.” As Felix said that, he handed a mobile phone to Matthew.
Matthew turned on the phone and looked through it. Just as Felix described, there really was not much contained in that phone.
Call records, messages, and even WhatsApp messages… They were all deleted by Franklin.
Seeing that Franklin was the one who wanted to murder Donovan in the first place, he would definitely not leave any clues on his phone.
Somehow, Matthew was nonchalant. He opened the map in Franklin’s phone and glanced at it. At once, he could not help but smile. “Found it!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 1068
I Have a Surprise for You
“What did you find?” Felix curiously asked when he heard Matthew exclaim as Matthew simply passed the phone to Felix in response.
A map that located the places Franklin had frequented in the past was displayed on the phone screen.
Felix looked at the locations marked, and when he could not find anything that would have warranted such a reaction out of Matthew, he asked, “Mr. Larson, is anything wrong with these locations?”
“Look closer,” Matthew said in a soft voice. “Do you recognize any place from this that Franklin has frequented only recently?”
Felix then scrutinized the map again, and this time, his eyes went wide as he asked aloud, “Could there be a reason why he has been going to Blossoms in East City recently?”
The Lewis Family lived in the northern town, while East City was situated in a run-down part of Eastcliff.
It didn’t make sense for Franklin, a man of great lust for money and sex, to visit East City so often.
Furthermore, Blossoms was a flower market. Hence, there was no reason for him to set foot at that place.
The markings on the map, however, would beg to differ. Not only had he been to the place, but he had also been there numerous times.
“Mr. Larson, do you think that something is going on here?” Felix continued after sucking in a deep breath.
In response, Matthew only calmly replied, “The Lewis Family can’t possibly do anything to me without the backing of other families.” He took a momentary pause and continued, “So… we can find out what we have to at Blossoms.”
Upon hearing this, Wilson promptly said, “Mr. Larson, I’ll get our men to head there right this instant.”
Matthew nodded as he gave the green light. “Go undercover. We mustn’t alert them.”
Hearing that, Wilson responded with a nod.
Then, Matthew instructed Felix to begin the process of supplying the materials needed for the renovation of the construction company Matthew owned.
With the control Felix had over the Lewis Family now, the acquisition of these materials should not pose a problem.
After a while, Matthew was the first to leave the place. Following after, Wilson and Felix, too, soon made their exit.
After leaving, Matthew headed straight to the hospital, and the first person he saw there was Crystal, who seemed to have her hands full.
With no intention of making his presence known to her, he swiftly made his way to the ward out front to check on Heidi.
As soon as he stepped into the ward, he was greeted by the sight of Leia—Heidi’s daughter—sitting by the side of the bed. She was holding Helen’s hand as she affectionately called out ‘Aunty Helen’ continuously.
At the sight of Matthew, Leia immediately stood up. With a face full of smiles, she exclaimed, “Matthew! You’re here!”
As he did not have the best impression of Leia, he chose not to answer her and left right after making sure Heidi was in good condition.
His disregard only left her standing there quietly in embarrassment.
Leia only found out about the current situation the Cunningham Family was in after the incident that had happened before.
The first thing that she did after learning about the truth was, of course, to kiss up to Helen. This was her way to get close to the Cunningham Family.
The only difference now was that even Helen did not seem to want to bother with her.
It did not take much for one to realize what kind of despicable person Leia was.
The next morning, Matthew made his way to Cunningham Pharmaceuticals right after checking on Helen.
Sasha was signing a few documents when Matthew strode into the office. At once, her face brightened up when she saw him.
“Give me a second. We can go for lunch after I finish these off!” she excitedly announced.
“Take your time.” The sight of a delighted Sasha, too, put a small smile on Matthew’s face. “I have a surprise waiting for you.”
Sasha started to grow suspicious at those unexpected words, so she asked, “A surprise?”
“Yup. A surprise.” He confirmed with a nod.
“Well, what kind of surprise?” Curiosity was now written all over her face as she asked again.
The smile stayed plastered on his face as he replied, “It is a secret for now.”
Seeing how amused he was by her reaction, she gave a big eye roll at him and grumbled, “Trying to act all mysterious now, huh? It better be a big surprise.”
She kept mumbling in dissatisfaction; it was obvious that her attention was no longer on the documents she was still handling a moment ago.
She then hastily signed whatever was left, and when she was done, she sped off in Matthew’s direction before urging him, “I’m done. Can you please tell me what it is now?”
Then, Matthew brought her toward the exit of the office, and with a smile hanging on his lips, he said softly, “You will find out in a while.”
Sasha playfully pinched him in return, but still, she had a blissful expression on her face when she compliantly hugged him by his arm as they left the office.
Still keeping it a secret from Sasha, Matthew had planned to bring her to Lakeside Garden. They were finally returning to the home that was exclusively theirs.

The Lady With the Sunglasses
After both Matthew and Sasha hopped into the car, Matthew drove straight to Lakeside Garden, during which Sasha tried multiple times to pry information about the surprise out of him. However, Matthew only responded with a smile throughout the journey. That, of course, only made her itch with curiosity.
It did not take long before they arrived at the entrance of Lakeside Garden.
“Why did you bring me here?” she asked, clearly confused.
Still, Matthew held on to the suspense and continued driving ahead with a smile.
Seeing how the distance between them and the gates of Lakeside Garden was gradually closing in, Sasha nervously yelped, “Matthew! Why are you heading this way? Hurry, stop the car! We will be entering Lakeside Garden’s compound if you keep going. You know that outsiders aren’t allowed in there!”
Seeing how the car kept moving at the same speed, she quickly added, “We should still respect Mr. Newman’s authority even though you are on good terms with him. He did say that no outsider is allowed to step foot into this place. We will only cause trouble for him if you go in like this…”
Unbeknownst to her, they had already reached the gates before Sasha could even finish her sentence.
A look of embarrassment soon appeared on her face. Just what was Matthew thinking?! What if they were stopped by the security guards of the area? Or even worse––what should they say if they had to explain themselves to the guards?
However, what happened next was not at all what Sasha had expected.
Not only did the guards not stop Matthew, they even respectfully bowed before directing them into the compounds of Lakeside Garden.
Sasha was momentarily stunned by the unexpected hospitality, but when she finally found her tongue, she blabbered, “What… What just happened? Why didn’t they stop us? Doesn’t Lakeside Garden belong to Mr. Newman and his people? Not even the important figures from the Ten Greatest Families could come in. Not unless they are the owners of this place.”
Her words made Matthew smile, and he then kept driving without giving a reply.
His reaction resulted in a stupefied look on her face, and she gingerly asked, “Matthew, what exactly is going on? Just what kind of surprise are you hiding from me?”
Sasha suddenly remembered something Matthew had said to her before. At the thought of that, she could instantaneously feel her heart thumping hard in her chest.
Matthew had mentioned wanting to buy her a house in Lakeside Garden!
Could this be the surprise he had for her?
Matthew continued driving a short distance before they eventually reached the biggest villa situated at the best location in the residential area. Then, he parked his car in the big yard.
Sasha’s eyes and mouth were agape as she stared at the building. At a glance, she could easily tell how much this villa must have cost.
“Sasha,” Matthew called out smilingly. “Didn’t you want to meet Nat all this while? I have brought you here today to see her.”
Sasha had not had the chance to get close to Natalie, as the wedding between Matthew and Sasha had been carried out rather hastily.
Furthermore, Natalie had been so sick that the Cunninghams did not allow her to attend their wedding.
Following that, the Cunningham Family had not permitted Natalie to set foot in their home, which was why she had been renting a place to stay outside ever since.
The Cunninghams, too, never once visited her to make sure she was fine.
“Natalie? Where is she? Has she returned home?” Sasha asked, obviously agitated.
Sasha had asked Matthew multiple times about when Natalie was coming home; she clearly missed his younger sister. In order to keep Sasha in the dark about what was actually happening to Natalie, he had told Sasha that Natalie had been receiving medical treatment somewhere far away.
At that moment, the doors to the villa were opened from inside.
Natalie peeked her head out to check the source of the chattering, and when she spotted Matthew, she joyfully hopped over while she singsonged, “Matthew! Matthew!”
Sasha’s eyes widened as she looked at the figure skipping happily.
Natalie, still unaware of Sasha’s presence, threw herself into Matthew’s arms before hugging her brother close.
Matthew smiled while he patted her on the head and began to introduce them to each other, “Sasha, meet my sister, Natalie!”
He then looked at his sister and said, “Nat, let me introduce you to Sasha. She is my wife, which makes her your sister-in-law…”
However, Matthew was not able to finish the introduction before Natalie’s voice rang out. “Aren’t… Aren’t you the lady with the sunglasses?’
Matthew confusedly asked her a question in return, “Lady with the sunglasses? What are you talking about, Nat?”
Natalie immediately answered, “Don’t you remember, Matthew? I have told you about her before. A lady with sunglasses used to visit me often when I was sick. She even brought me a lot of presents!”
She then proudly declared, “This is the lady with sunglasses I told you about!”
Matthew’s eyes unconsciously widened as they gradually turned moist from the tears that began to fill them.
All this while, he thought that Sasha had never paid Natalie a visit.
It was only now did he realize that he had been misunderstanding the whole situation all this while!

Now This Is Where Our Home Is
Matthew turned to look at Sasha. It was only then that he was hit by the realization of how genuine she had been toward him.
Her attitude toward him had always been fairly cold throughout their three years of marriage, but it was an undeniable fact that Matthew was the one that Sasha had chosen to be her life partner.
Not only did she pay for the housing rental without his knowledge, she had also provided financial support when it came to treating Natalie’s illness. Besides that, she did all that even though it meant she had to use her company’s funds.
To elaborate further, Sasha also paid Natalie visits and bought her things.
This was something that Sasha had never let others learn about.
Sasha might look cold on the outside, but she had the warmest of hearts within.
“Why didn’t you tell me?” Matthew asked in a low voice.
Slightly embarrassed about being exposed, Sasha answered in an equally soft voice, “It’s nothing worth mentioning. Why do I have to tell you about something like this?”
Upon hearing this, Matthew grabbed her by her hand. “It may be a small matter to someone else, but not to me! There isn’t anything more important than this to me!” he exclaimed.
Sasha’s face turned red at that as she quickly rolled her eyes and said, “Alright now. Quit your mushy act. Did you forget that Natalie’s here?’
Natalie swiftly reacted by covering her eyes with her hands. “Oh no, there’s sand in my eye. I can’t see anything in front of me,” she cried out.
The adults could only let out a laugh at her antics before Sasha enveloped Natalie in a big hug and exclaimed, “You! What a cheeky child you are!”
Natalie, too, attached herself to Sasha as she let out a series of giggles.
Matthew’s heart felt full as he looked at them. They were the most important people in his life after all.
He then held Sasha in his arms before gently saying, “Come on. Let’s catch up inside.”
Sasha immediately froze at his words. She looked at him with a shocked expression, and even though words seemed to fail her at that moment, she still managed to make an incoherent sentence. “Matthew, this… This villa…”
“Haven’t I told you? I’ll provide us with the best home,” he casually explained with a small grin. “This is my surprise for you!”
As Sasha heard that, her eyes only grew big in disbelief.
She did not need to look too deeply into it to know just how ridiculously priced this place was.
“Let’s go in and take a look around.” Matthew smiled as he walked alongside Sasha into the building.
By the time they had completed their tour on both floors of the villa, Sasha had completely entered a shell-shocked state.
She looked around the palace-like place with a bewildered expression before asking shakily, “Matthew, is this really our home?” In response, Matthew nodded with a smile and replied, “Of course it is!”
He continued, “I’ve told you, haven’t I? One day, I will live here with you.”
Still in disbelief, Sasha began to ramble on, “How is this possible? How much does this villa even cost? I have heard that 50 million is the starting price of the cheapest villa in Lakeside Garden––not only that, not even people who have the money are guaranteed a place here! Only prominent figures of Eastcliff can step foot in this place. Meanwhile, you got a villa that is considerably bigger and in a better location than the other ones! I’m afraid to ask but… How much did you spend on this? Did you not invest the 300 million from before into the construction business? Where did you get the money to purchase this property from?”
Smilingly, Matthew simply replied with a short answer, “I didn’t spend a penny on this villa.”
“Not even a cent?” Sasha gaped.
He nodded in return and explained, “This villa is a present from Mr. Newman. I have told you about how I saved his daughter before. Well, this is the reward he gave me for that!”
Sasha’s eyes could only further widen after she heard what he said. “A reward from Mr. Newman? How is this possible? This villa would probably cost around 100 million. Did he just give away 100 million as a reward?” she skeptically questioned.
“This villa probably has a market price of 270 million, but this property wasn’t originally available for purchase. Mr. Newman had been keeping this place for his daughter to live in,” Matthew indifferently said.
His explanation only shocked Sasha even further. Still finding the situation as incredulous as it was sounding, she continued, “That’s a crazy high price. 270 million for a villa? Mr. Newman is giving you a villa that is worth almost 300 million just like that?”
As he watched her reaction, he couldn’t help but let out a small laugh. “Sasha, 300 million may sound like a lot to us, but it is nothing but nickels and dimes for Mr. Newman. No amount of money could compensate for the life of his precious daughter.”
