The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 831
Leanna Wasn’t Too Happy About It
Facing Tate’s confession, Leanna was furious. “You wretch! So Matthew didn’t ask you to come? You dare lie to me? Do you have a death wish?”
Tate was bewildered by the turn of events. What is this situation? Leanna’s reaction is way out of my expectations! Logically speaking, after she heard what I said, she should be a little shy and embarrassed, right? Even if she didn’t agree, she wouldn’t get so angry! But what’s going on right now?
Just then, the door to the office opened, after which the secretary rushed in with a few women in tow. The women wore the security uniforms; they were all Leanna’s bodyguards.
One of the women walked up and did a leg sweep, causing Tate to trip and fall to the floor. At the same time, she locked Tate’s arms and gave them a twist, from which the pain was directly reflected on Tate’s face.
“Stop! Let go! You’re breaking my arm!” Tate screamed.
Regardless of his screams, no one heeded him. Leanna’s expression was cold as she pointed the finger at Tate. “How dare you misuse Matthew’s name just to see me! Hmph, do you know that I was in a meeting just now? This little bit of time you made me waste would cost our company dearly!”
Tate went pale in the face. He never thought that Leanna would pause a meeting just for Matthew’s sake! Who exactly is Matthew to her?
However, Tate had no time to think about these, for he was afraid for real. “M-Miss Sandel, I didn’t mean it… I really admired you, so that was why…”
The reason for his visit put her into a flying rage. “Slap him!”
One of the bodyguards walked over and delivered slaps across Tate’s face, which got swollen instantly. Even though they were women, these bodyguards were actually strong and could compare to their male counterparts!
Leanna spoke in a cold voice. “You even used Matthew’s name to come here, and now you’re telling me you didn’t mean to misuse his name? Do you take me for a fool? The thing I hate the most is trash like you! Send him to the police station! Also, inform Gonzalez Corporation that we’re canceling our contract with them!”
With that, Leanna turned and left without so much as giving him another look. Tate was losing it, for he just wanted to express his admiration. There was no way he could’ve guessed that she’d react this way!
He didn’t mind being beaten, but it would be another matter altogether if he were sent to the police station. Also, most importantly, if they canceled their contract with Gonzalez Corporation, his father would be done for.
What would his family do then? Tate was extremely regretful now for listening to his sister’s suggestion. Of course, he was also totally puzzled.
What is all this for? Why is Leanna so good to Matthew but so horrible to me? Just what is so great about Matthew?
At noon, Matthew had just fetched Sasha and was planning to have lunch together. However, she received a call from Helen, and once she picked it up, she heard Helen sobbing. “Sasha, come home quick. Your Aunt Chloe… She can’t make it…”
Sasha was alarmed. “W-What’s the matter?”
Without much explanation, Helen just continued weeping. “Just come back quickly! I can’t explain over the phone!”
Sasha was starting to panic, so she brought Matthew along as she hurried home. Even though she didn’t like Chloe and her family very much, they were still relatives. If something happened to Chloe, she would still be saddened.
However, once they rushed home, Sasha found Chloe sitting next to Helen, right as rain. Jonah and Minerva were sitting there as well. Minerva had her head lowered. She seemed to be sulking, and she had a look of hatred in her eyes.
Chloe’s eyes were swollen, and Jonah’s expression was dark with anger.
Seeing the scene, Sasha couldn’t help but frown. What is going on? They said that Aunt Chloe couldn’t make it in the call, didn’t they? But she’s just sitting here looking fine, and I can’t see anything wrong with her. What’s all this about?
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 832
Leanna is Exaggerating
“Mom, what’s going on? Aunt Chloe, you… are you all right?” Sasha asked anxiously.
At the sight of Sasha, Chloe started the waterworks again as tears streamed continuously down her face. Helen also had tears in her eyes. “Sasha, this time, you really have to help your Aunt Chloe no matter what…”
This again!
Sasha had heard this way too many times.
“Mom, they… what did they do this time?” Sasha asked, irritated.
This family never ran out of trouble ever since they returned from overseas. What is wrong with them? Were they also this chaotic when they were overseas?
Helen replied, “Sasha, please promise first that you’ll help Chloe, then I’ll tell you what happened!”
Sasha shook her head. “Mom, if you don’t want to talk, then forget it. I’m not in the mood for this nonsense!”
With that, Sasha pulled Matthew along as she moved to go upstairs.
Seeing as they were leaving, Helen panicked. “Don’t go yet! I was talking to you! What’s up with this child! Come here right now—”
Sasha didn’t beat around the bush, even though the person she was addressing was her mother. “Mom, just spit it out if you have anything to say. What’s all that about promising first? Do you think I’m that stupid? How can I promise anything when I don’t have a clue what’s going on?”
Helen hastily responded, “This is your aunt we’re talking about…”
The young lady wasn’t one to take any irrational reasoning. “It’s exactly because it’s my aunt that I have to ask you what was going on! If it were any other person, I wouldn’t even give them a chance to speak!”
Helen couldn’t say anything in return, so she tugged at Chloe. “C-Chloe, why don’t you tell Sasha what happened?”
Chloe was still sobbing with her head bowed, refusing to even speak.
This whole scene left Helen exasperated. “Chloe, if you don’t say anything, how can Sasha help you? Then… Jonah, you explain…”
Jonah’s expression was still terrible as he gritted his teeth, then said, “Minerva, speak up!”
It was Minerva’s turn to panic. “Why should I?”
Jonah questioned angrily, “Why should you? What do you think? Who came up with that idea in the first place? If it weren’t for your stupid idea, would such things even happen?”
Minerva was upset, but she could do nothing but relay the events that occurred when Tate went to see Leanna.
Of course, she left out a lot of details.
She didn’t mention that Tate had used Matthew as an excuse to see Leanna, nor did she mention that Tate was trying to flirt with Leanna.
She simply said that the two had differing opinions, which resulted in a clash. Then Leanna called the police and had Tate arrested. Also, Leanna had broken the contract between her company and Gonzalez Corporation of her own accord.
All in all, when the events were retold by Minerva, she made it look like it was all Leanna’s fault, and Tate seemed innocent enough.
Helen kept nodding as she listened. “Sasha, that’s what happened. See for yourself. This Leanna is really exaggerating too much. Tate simply disagreed with her. Why would she react like that? She not only reported Tate to the police, she even broke off the contract! How could someone act like this? She has no respect for the contract! I honestly don’t know how she managed to be the boss!”
Matthew frowned. He never guessed that Leanna would be involved in this as well.
On the other hand, Sasha was bewildered. “That’s impossible. President Sandel would never do such a thing! Mom, was there some mistake?”
Helen explained hastily, “Your cousin said so herself, so there can’t be any mistakes. Sasha, this Leanna woman is bullying Tate! We’re all family, right? You have to help them!”
Everything was too fishy, so Sasha was still rather cautious. “President Sandel isn’t this sort of person.”
Just then, Matthew suddenly piped up. “Aunt Chloe, I have a question. How did Tate manage to see President Sandel?”
The Campbell family turned stiff at that single question.
Sasha’s eyes lit up as she said, “Yeah, how did Tate get to meet President Sandel?”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 833
How Did He Meet President Sandel?
Apart from being one of the most famous company presidents in Eastcliff, Leanna also had looks that were known to be attractive. It was a given that Tate wanted to meet her, and in fact, anyone in the city would like to have a chance to meet her in person.
It was exactly because of this that the security guards at Creative Cloud Group were especially strict with visitors.
It would be impossible for the average Joe to enter Creative Cloud Group.
Even if they had business dealings, they had to register with the security guards first, and then the receptionist would make arrangements. Under normal circumstances, Leanna wouldn’t just meet her clients so casually. Even the VIP clients were managed by her subordinates.
Unless it was Leanna’s friends or some significant people whom she might fancy a meeting with, the chances of meeting Leanna were akin to the chances of meeting the prime minister.
Minerva had said that Tate met Leanna, which begs the great question: what position could Tate possibly have that he would get to meet Leanna?
As a sign of dismissal, Helen waved her hand. “Oh, Sasha, no need to fuss over the little details. The important thing is, your cousin is arrested, and your uncle has lost his contract. What do we do now?”
Sasha wasn’t just dissatisfied but was annoyed by the way her mother responded. “Mom, stop asking me what we should do! I have to understand the situation first.”
Helen hastily said, “Didn’t Minerva explain it clearly just now? Leanna looks down on us—”
At this point in the conversion, Sasha’s patience had worn thin. “Is President Sandel that sort of person? Mom, do you dare to confirm with President Sandel herself? Do you know the consequences of slander?”
The possibility of being charged with a crime managed to put a sock in Helen’s mouth, shushing the noisy woman almost instantly. In truth, she knew very well what had happened.
Sasha glared right at Minerva. “Minerva, tell me the truth. What exactly happened?”
Minerva said in a low voice, “I-I already told you…”
Bang! Having enough of the dilly dally, Sasha hit the table. “If you don’t want to speak, then forget it. Let’s go, Matthew! Let’s not stay here any longer. We’ll leave them alone!”
Sasha pulled Matthew along as she turned to leave. Helen panicked and quickly tried to stop them.
“What’s with the rush, you two? Minerva, please tell them the exact details.”
Minerva had a troubled expression as she glanced at Sasha. Then she gritted her teeth and relayed the whole truth of the matter.
When Sasha heard what had happened, she was so angry that she was shaking. “A-Aunt Chloe, Uncle Jonah, how dare you still come to me for help after all that? Your son did that sort of thing, and you… don’t you feel embarrassed at all? Do you have no shame?”
Chloe kept her head bowed and sniffled. She still didn’t say anything.
Jonah’s expression remained dark as he gritted his teeth. “That wretch… I didn’t even know that he’d do such a thing.”
“Oh!” Helen still looked anxious. “Sasha, now the most important thing is to get your cousin out. Also, the contract. How can she cancel it just like that? It was signed and everything. How could Leanna be so disrespectful?”
Currently, Sasha was done with the nonsense her family had created. “If you have any problems with that, why not just sue her?”
Helen’s eyes lit up. “Right! Jonah, let’s go that route! If she really canceled the contract, she would have to compensate for it! I don’t believe that she would willingly compensate just because of a few words!”
Jonah seemed to be in despair. “H-Helen, that’s not possible. Aside from the minimal chance of us winning the case against Creative Cloud Group, even if we really could win, the head office wouldn’t allow us to do that. If we lose our partnership with Creative Cloud Group, even the head office would be in danger of going under. So it’s not a matter of compensation. Creative Cloud Group wouldn’t mind the amount they have to compensate. However, to Gonzalez Corporation, this project is a matter of life and death! If we lose this project, the head office would be done for, and I… I will be dead too…”
Helen was stunned. “I-It’s that serious?”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 834
Tate Didn’t Mean It
Jonah looked at Matthew, begging. “Matthew, I… I know that you are on good terms with President Sandel. Can you please help us ask for mercy from her? Tell her that no matter what, the project mustn’t be canceled. If the project can proceed as planned, then… then I’ll transfer you to my place and make you the general manager. How’s that sound?”
Chloe also said hastily, “Matthew, you have to save Tate! He didn’t mean it. He’s just a child. If he gets a record because of this, how will he live in the future?”
“Aunt Chloe, Uncle Jonah. Tate was the one who did all that. How would Matthew even talk to President Sandel about something someone else did? He made so much effort to ensure that your project would proceed smoothly, but you never even thanked him.”
The more Sasha elaborated, the more she felt as if she was losing control of her emotions. “I remember that time after the contract was discussed, you simply left Matthew by the roadside, right? In the end, he had to hail a cab home. Now that you lost the contract, you’re here to beg Matthew again? Who do you think he is?”
Jonah looked extremely awkward now. After the contract was signed, he thought that he had no use for Matthew anymore, so he didn’t even try to be nice after that.
Who would’ve thought that this turn of events would take place? If I know things will turn out like this, I wouldn’t have treated Matthew in such a way.
On the other hand, Chloe leaped to her feet and pointed at Jonah as she shouted, “Jonah, how dare you?! He’s my niece’s husband! How could you treat him like that? He helped you so diligently, and that’s how you repay him? Come here right now!”
With that, Chloe jumped in and wrestled with Jonah.
Helen hastily pulled at her. “Please stop! We’re all family! Stop it! Stop fighting! Sasha, Matthew, please think of something! Do you want to see this family fall into ruin?”
Matthew was speechless. He wasn’t a fool; of course, he could see that Chloe was just putting on an act.
“Okay, I’ll meet President Sandel.” Matthew sighed as he spoke.
Hearing that, Chloe immediately stopped sobbing and said excitedly, “Matthew, you’ll really help us? Oh, that’s wonderful! Matthew, I’m so grateful! Thank you so much! Sasha, what a fine husband you have! I’m so happy for you!”
Sasha gritted her teeth and sent a glare at Matthew. Seriously? You’re going to help them?
Matthew said, “You’re very welcome, Aunt Chloe. Tate doesn’t have a good temper, so you better keep an eye on him when he comes back. If not, if he gets into trouble again, I wouldn’t know how to help you.”
Chloe nodded repeatedly. “Don’t worry, don’t worry. Once this wretch comes back, I’ll make sure he stays put! I’ll ground him and see if he still dares to cause any more trouble! Matthew, thank you so, so much…”
Matthew waved his hand, then walked out of the door with Sasha.
Watching the two leave, Minerva had a cold look in her eyes. “What’s so great about that? He has no business meddling with how my brother should be disciplined! He even told Sasha that my dad didn’t send him home! Talking about people behind their backs! What a cunning villain! Aunt Helen, this son-in-law of yours is really going out of hand!”
Once they made it out of the yard, Sasha spoke furiously. “Matthew, why did you agree to help them?”
Matthew shrugged helplessly. “Sasha, you know what that situation was like. How can I not agree to help? If I don’t agree, they’d cause a ruckus in your house every day. I don’t want to know what sorts of things they’ll do.”
Sasha sighed. “How did Aunt Chloe’s family end up like this? If we went to see President Sandel, how are we going to tell her? Tate did such a stupid thing, and even I feel embarrassed to admit that I know him.”

A Ten-Percent Discount
Matthew smiled and said, “Relax. Don’t worry about it. Nothing is going to happen. President Sandel is probably just scaring him. I assure you that everything will be fine after we meet up with him.”
Sasha nodded as she reached for her phone and called Leanna. After all, she still hadn’t taken dinner and was planning to have it with Leanna, who agreed with her plan without hesitation.
Half an hour later, the three of them met up and settled down in a private room at Shanghai Nights Restaurant. Then, Leanne looked around her and chuckled. “I’ve always heard about the Supreme Room at Shanghai Nights Restaurant but never been here myself before. Thus, I can’t believe I’m literally sitting right here now, thanks to you both. Alas! Mr. Wayne is a talented businessman, but unfortunately, he is too conservative and rigid. I know the Supreme Room is only meant for Supreme Members, but since there are only three Supreme access cards, this room is probably vacant most of the time, isn’t it?”
Sasha smiled and said, “You have a different sense of discernment from others, President Sandel.”
Leanna laughed in response. “Come on, Sasha. Stop calling me ‘President Sandel’. In fact, I’m fine with just ‘Leanna’. Look, I know you’ve only become a director yourself not long ago, so it’s understandable that you’re still not acute in business, but given two years, you’ll be just like me.”
Sasha smiled and replied, “Well, I have a lot to learn from you, Leanna.”
As the three of them went about, Matthew and Sasha mentioned nothing about Tate. Thus, Leanna decided not to bring it up until they were done with their meal. Then, she said with a smile, “I’ll order my people to release Tate soon, but I want him to remember this message. Tell him to stay away from me! I don’t want to see him wherever I go. Otherwise, he will not be so lucky next time. After all, my bodyguards love to break limbs.”
Sasha nodded with a smile. “That serves him right.”
Leanna then shot a gaze at Matthew. “The deal with Gonzalez Corporation still stands, but I want the price reduced by 10 percent!” In fact, she was aware that the price Jonah offered her was triple the rate it should be. Nonetheless, she agreed to accept the offer at that time because of Matthew, although she knew Jonah was going to take 10 out of 30 percent from the margin for himself. Therefore, she demanded the price to be lowered by 10 percent to prevent Jonah from earning the margin difference as a punishment for his son’s flirty behavior.
When Matthew and Sasha got home, they told their family members about the news that put Jonah on edge. “W-What? Why did she want the price to be reduced by 10 percent when the deal was already made? Didn’t… you beg President Sandel?”
Upon hearing that, Sasha glared at the man and challenged him. “Why didn’t you beg her yourself, Uncle Jonah? Your son was the one who teased Leanna and pissed her off, so what do you expect? In fact, a 10-percent discount seems pretty lenient to me because if I had been in her position, I would have just turned you down without hesitation!”
As Jonah was about to respond, Sasha abrasively waved her hand. “That’s enough. We did our best, and this is what we get, so live with it. If you’re still not satisfied, I could always call Leanna for you and tell her to forget about our discussion today because you’d love to speak with her yourself tomorrow. How does that sound?”
Speechless, Jonah was seen with his mouth wide agape without saying a single word. After all, he knew he was in no position to bargain with Leanna. Thus, he helplessly let out a sigh, his eyes filled with rage and exasperation.
With our initial agreed offer, I was about to make myself a huge fortune that would allow me to buy houses and cars in Eastcliff. Besides, I was so close to being Gonzalez Corporation’s president in Cathay until my ‘filial’ son created a big mess. Thanks to him, I just lost a good chance to make myself rich and a career-changing opportunity to be a corporate president!
At the thought of that, Jonah blamed Tate on the inside and slammed the table in anger. “Move out now! Bring that bastard home!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 836
Unusual Cases
Sasha and Matthew met up with Tate three days later, only to see Tate with a swollen face and limping. His behavior was suggestive that he had been severely punished by his father. Thus, just as the couple expected, Matthew seemed to behave himself better.
Deep in his heart, Tate finally understood that Leanna was not an ordinary lady to be trifled with. While his usual flirtatious words would work on any other woman, his attempt to charm her had proven to be a huge mistake that cost him dearly. After all, she was so powerful and influential that she could destroy his life with just a few mere words. He also couldn’t help but wonder why Matthew could so easily gain her favor as his jealousy toward Matthew overcame his rational mind.
Meanwhile, Matthew could see Tate’s anger from Tate’s eyes, but he couldn’t care less about it. In his eyes, Tate was nothing but an immature kid who was emotional and impulsive. Therefore, he didn’t think it was worth his time to pay so much attention to Tate.
Matthew was more concerned about Minerva as she hadn’t visited The Grand Garden; it was allegedly because of a foreign man whom she was enamored with. As they knew that Minerva was a big mouth, Matthew and Sasha couldn’t help but worry about her.
Crystal showed up not too long after he arrived in his office. “Hi, Matthew. Dr. Burton would like to see you,” she said as she chuckled.
Although there was nothing out of the ordinary with her work attendance, she was only present whenever Matthew was. If he was not in the office, she would be absent as well. Nevertheless, she was never short of any admirers as there were several male doctors who kept trying to hit on her until she harshly rejected them with a scolding.
Although everyone in the hospital was jealous of Matthew, they had no idea why Crystal admired him so much even though the prettiest woman in Eastcliff was his wife. Fortunately, none of them was aware of his relationship with Leanna. If they did, they would probably lose their minds.
Matthew stood up and greeted Jordan. “How can I help you, Dr. Burton?”
Jordan had been visiting Lakeside Garden once every few days during this period of time. However, as Matthew subsequently found it troublesome, he directly duplicated an access card for Jordan so that they could enter and exit Lakeside Garden whenever they wished. Therefore, he no longer contacted Matthew to meet up as frequently as he used to whenever he planned to drop by with his wife.
With a dossier holder in his arm, Jordan answered, “Mr. Larson, you told me to research some unusual medical cases earlier, and here are some that I managed to find. Please have a look.”
Upon hearing the man’s response, Matthew snapped out of his trance and took the files before going through them. Then, he extracted half of the cases and returned it to Jordan, only taking three files with him.
A stunned Jordan asked, “Mr. Larson, what are all these three cases about?”
Matthew smiled and answered, “These three are the ones I’ve been searching for. You can look more into the rest. By the way, I made some remarks on them, which I believe will serve as a lead for you to investigate those cases further.”
Jordan was elated. “Really? Thank you so much, Mr. Larson!”
In fact, those medical cases were so unusual that no one in the hospital could pinpoint the source of the illnesses. Thus, he was originally planning to compile them and consult some specialists, so he was surprised that Matthew could provide him with the answers he was seeking.
Matthew nodded with a smile. “Alright, Dr. Burton, please attend to your business as you must. I’ll take a look at those cases later on.”
After Jordan nodded and rose to his full height to leave, Matthew perused the files and took a closer look with a frown. These 3 patients must have been cursed!
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 837
The Arrogant Department Director
Ever since Matthew discovered about the centipedes in the lake of Lakeside Garden and the curse on Leanne’s best friend, he had already begun to suspect those from Orleans were to blame for the cascade of catastrophic chaos. While they were scattered everywhere, he believed that they were after someone whom he reckoned was none other than Jinny. Nonetheless, he had no idea why they were looking for her and was hence prompted to find out more about it. As a result, he asked Jinny to stay put in Lakeside Garden, which he deemed was the safest place for her.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Crystal visited the first victim in their investigation of unusual medical cases at a nearby hospital. Since she had tagged along, he didn’t face much trouble before he finally met the patient. The said person was isolated in a separate ward and his entire body was swollen. Even his facial features had a frightening aura since his swollen flesh was sandwiching it.
Soon, a department director, who looked like he was in his thirties, led them both to the ward. While he seemed to be a young director with a promising future for his age, his arrogance was written all over his face. As his gaze was on Crystal most of the time, he didn’t bother to even glimpse at Matthew.
“
We’ve been running tests after tests on the patient but still failed to find out what’s wrong. Every time the clock strikes two after midnight, he will show signs of pain and agony, yet none of our attempts to alleviate his pain has appeared to work effectively thus far. Therefore, I have turned to my mentor, Frederick Morgan from Mightwater, for help, but even he doesn’t seem to have any clue about what happened. By the way, have you guys heard about him before?”
The man observed her expression while introducing his mentor to her. After all, he was a famous doctor in Mightwater and he always took pride in being his apprentice.
As she sensed his egoistic intention to boast, Crystal pouted and replied, “You mean Dr. Morgan? Oh, I think I can remember who he is. He came to my house to visit my grandpa two years ago. In fact, he swung by three times, only to find my grandpa away each time.”
Frederick’s eyes widened in disbelief. “W-What kind of nonsense are you talking about, miss? My mentor is the perfect example that everyone in the medical world is trying to emulate, and you’re saying he visited your grandpa? If he really came to Eastcliff, there would have been a dozen people or so wanting to visit him.”
“Is that so?” Crystal chuckled sarcastically. “Please ask him whether he has the guts to make Joseph Harrison visit him.”
“Joseph Harrison? Who the…” He pursed his lips shortly before his expression changed. “Wait a second. Did you just say Joseph Harrison? Are you talking about Mr. Harrison?”
“What do you think?” she asked.
The department director appeared to look stunned as he stared at her for a few moments before he carefully asked, “A-Are you Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter?”
“Why don’t you tell me?” Crystal responded.
At that moment, the man recalled the dean’s words over the phone as he was told to receive Matthew and Crystal with hospitality. Our dean has never treated anyone so politely unless he is dealing with a bigshot.
When that thought came to the department director’s mind, he connected the dots with her name, whereupon his heart sank with fear. Oh my God! She must be Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter. His face flushed in embarrassment upon the shocking realization.
Although Frederick was famous, he was still outclassed by the likes of Joseph. Therefore, it shouldn’t have come as a surprise to the department director for Frederick to have visited Joseph. Thus, the department director was immediately overwhelmed by his shame for boasting in front of Joseph’s granddaughter. “I’m sorry, Miss Harrisson. I-I didn’t know you were Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter. Please forgive me for my rudeness. If you need anything, you’re welcome to let me know.” The man quickly apologized and offered to help.
However, Crystal waved her hand in annoyance and replied, “Alright, you may excuse yourself. We’re here to treat the patient, not listen to your cock-and-bull stories.”
The department director’s cheeks flushed as he reluctantly walked away. Then, he stood by the door with a mad expression. “You want to treat that patient? I want to see how you can treat him because if you can’t, you’re going to be a disgrace to Mr. Harrison himself!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 838
The Troublemaker
On the other hand, Matthew couldn’t be bothered about the department director as he was observing the patient. At the same time, Crystal stood beside him and asked, “Have you found anything, Matthew?”
Matthew nodded and answered, “Turn around and look away now.”
“Why?” she asked.
“Just do as I say,” he replied.
When Crystal pouted and reluctantly did as she was told, Matthew produced three needles and used his palm to apply pressure on the patient’s chest. Feeling as if there was a layer of liquid beneath the patient’s skin, he didn’t desperately try to perform an acupuncture therapy on the patient. Instead, Matthew patiently continued to massage the man for the next three minutes until the patient’s shoulders twitched a little.
Then, Matthew quickly inserted the three needles he had prepared earlier through the patient’s skin, only to see something bulging beneath it, as if it was trying to get out of his body from the inside. At the sight of this strange phenomenon, Matthew instantly applied more pressure on it with his hands and took out seven more needles to secure a bigger region around the abnormality. As soon as he did that, whatever was hiding beneath the patient’s skin seemingly ceased to struggle.
After that, he produced a dagger and sliced the skin open, but no blood or pus trickled out of the wound, as if the skin was just an empty shell. Soon, a creature resembling an octopus was found somewhere beneath the skin as it was pinned by several needles that rendered it immobile. While holding the cold blade in his hand, he proceeded to extract the creature from the patient’s body.
Despite its miniscule size, the octopus had multiple long tentacles that probably measured up to one meter each. After the removal of the octopus, steam was blowing out of the patient’s wound like a punctured balloon. At the same time, the patient’s skin showed signs of recovery as the swelling slowly subsided, making it look like he was never under the weather before. Soon, his wound began to bleed as soon as there was no more steam wafting out of it.
On the other hand, Matthew fixed his gaze on the dark blood and he stopped the bleeding when it turned bright red. Then, he placed the octopus in a jar and looked at Crystal. “Alright, you can turn around now.”
When Crystal turned over and glanced at the patient, she was instantly dumbfounded with what she saw before her eyes. “Oh my God, Matthew! Has he… recovered now? I can’t believe you cured him so soon.”
“More or less.” He waved his hand and added, “He’ll still need more time to fully heal before he is up and about again. though. Anyway, please send for the doctor to bandage his wound. In the meantime, I’ll list down the prescribed ingredients for him to prepare the medicine that he’ll need to take thrice before we can all call it a day.”
After that, she left to send for the doctor, only to realize the department director was no longer standing by the door. Soon, she found him talking with a few other people as she stood at the corner and listened closely.
“Those two people said they were going to treat the patient and chased me away. I don’t know what’s going on, but I figured you all should know, which was why I called. After all, those two people were not doctors from our hospital, so if anything happens, we won’t be able to shoulder the responsibility,” the department director complained.
The woman, who stood at the forefront, challenged the doctor with dissatisfaction. “How could you do that?! My husband has suffered enough, so how could you allow two strangers to do anything they want to him? If anything goes wrong, I-I’ll make sure you regret allowing this to happen!”
Nonetheless, the department director coldly waved his hand and replied, “I’m in no position to interfere with this matter since the two of them have been sent here by the dean to attend to your husband. Thus, this is completely out of my power. In fact, situations like this have happened before, in which patients, who suffered from certain abnormal diseases, were taken away for further studies. Therefore, you all might want to head over and have a look for yourselves.”
She then questioned him. “What?! How dare they treat my husband as a guinea pig! If they ever lay a finger on him, I-I will kill them all!”
Soon, two other people, who were standing at the back, also expressed their anger. “If anything happens to Dad, I won’t go easy on them!”
“Let’s go and check out what’s going on!”
The Medical Genius’s Unspeakable Marriage Novel Chapter 839
Don’t Go Near My Husband
As he followed behind the patient’s family members, the department director looked especially gleeful. In fact, he was no stranger to committing wicked deeds like this as he had often turned the patients’ family members against the other doctors for the sake of his personal gains. Thus, it was obvious that the young man didn’t get to where he was solely with his capabilities; it was also with a few dirty tricks up his sleeves.
On the other hand, Crystal, who secretly heard everything, knitted her eyebrows in disgust. While she was unconcerned by the department director’s earlier pride, she was now surprised by his wickedness and evil intention. How can he encourage the patient’s family members to oppose us?! Although I should be grateful that Matthew managed to cure the patient, he could be in trouble otherwise if anything went wrong.
At the thought of that, she retreated to the ward, where she dragged Matthew aside. “Matthew, what would happen if the patient refuses to take your medicine?”
He looked at her in confusion. “Why wouldn’t they take it?”
“Don’t ask me why. Just answer my question!” she replied.
“Well, this is a kind of black magic that drains the victim’s energy once it is cast upon him or her, but in his case, he is pretty messed up, considering the exhausting ordeal he went through. So, if he doesn’t take my medicine, he will remain bedridden until he dies in less than a few years,” Matthew answered.
“Awesome!” Crystal nodded in satisfaction, her eyes brightening with happiness. However, he had no idea what happened as he pondered on the meaning behind her reaction in confusion.
At that moment, the ward’s door was kicked open before the patient’s family angrily barged in. Then, the woman standing at the forefront pointed at him and probed, “What are you doing?! What do you think you’re doing?! Who gave you the permission to even go near my husband?!”
“I’m here to—” He tried to explain himself.
Soon, one of the woman’s sons charged at Matthew and tried to land a kick on him. “Damn you! How dare you treat my dad as your guinea pig! I’m going to kill you!”
Nevertheless, Matthew dodged the man’s attack before the woman’s other son joined the fisticuff to aid his brother. In the meantime, she made her way to Crystal to grab Crystal’s hair since the woman treated her as Matthew’s accomplice. Meanwhile, the department director merely stood outside the door and watched the commotion with glee.
Upon dodging the two men’s attacks, Matthew separated Crystal from the mad woman and asked them with a frown, “What are you guys doing?! I’m here to treat the patient, so why are you doing this?!”
The woman snarled while her sons angrily fixed their eyes on Matthew, “Nonsense! Do you think I’m too dumb to realize that you guys are treating my husband as an experimental subject? Let me tell you something! If you ever dare to lay a finger on him, I’ll be sure to kill you!”
A confused Matthew frowned with regards to their reaction whereas Crystal coldly chuckled and responded, “Which one of us here is treating your husband as a guinea pig? Take a look at him for yourself, b*tch!”
“Who are you calling a b*tch?!” The woman growled. “I dare you to say that again, idiot!”
However, her son suddenly exclaimed before she could finish her words, “Look, Mom! Dad is—”
The woman impatiently asked, “What’s wrong with your father?” She turned around to look at what was going on, only to be stunned by what she saw. After all, the patient in bed initially had a swollen face, but he had now made a full recovery and seemingly returned to his normal state.
On the other hand, the department director’s eyes widened as he wondered what on earth just happened because the hospital had tried every possible method to alleviate the patient’s swelling and failed. How is this possible?! It’s only been a while, and he is now back to normal?!
At the sight of her husband’s appearance, the woman quickly approached the bed and asked with a trembling voice, “How do you feel, honey? Are you alright?”

The Credit Stealer
As the patient was unconscious, Crystal smirked and replied, “Of course he is alright! Open your eyes and take a look at him yourself. Matthew cured him, so what else could possibly happen to him?”
The woman exclaimed, “Really? D-Did you guys cure him? Is this for real? Has he really recovered?”
“Are you blind? Can’t you see it for yourself?” Crystal questioned the woman in an annoyed manner.
Nonetheless, the woman wasn’t piqued by Cystal’s abrasive response. Instead, she appeared to look surprised and happy. “T-This is awesome! Oh, my sons, your father is finally recovering! Thank God…”
At the same time, her two sons were just as elated to learn about their father’s improving health.
Crystal pouted and replied, “Thank God?! You should thank Matthew because he was the one who cured your husband!”
The woman was so thankful when she glanced at Matthew. “Were you the one who really cured my husband? Oh my goodness! Thank you so much, sir…”
When Matthew was about to respond, the department director suddenly entered the ward and made his presence known with a loud voice. “Nonsense! This is obviously the credit of our latest treatment method. It wasn’t him who cured your husband.”
Upon hearing his response, Crystal’s eyes widened with horror. Where is this guy’s sense of shame? How could he just steal someone else’s credit like it was the right thing to do?
“D-Did you cure my husband?” The woman seemed confused.
The man replied, “Of course I did! This is the treatment I’ve been studying lately, but I didn’t expect to see the result so soon. Alas! If I had used this method sooner, the patient wouldn’t have had to experience so much suffering!”
Upon hearing the doctor’s explanation, the woman shifted her gaze between him and Matthew, wondering whom she should trust.
Meanwhile, Crystal furrowed her eyebrows and berated the department director. “Hey, have a little sense of shame, would you? Matthew was the one who treated her husband, so how could you take his credit and claim it as yours?”
The department director chuckled and responded, “Miss Harrison, I know you’re Mr. Harrison’s granddaughter, which doesn’t seem surprising to me that you’re often surrounded by flattery and compliments. However, you must know that every word you say will have ensuing consequences. Furthermore, both of you have only been here not long ago, so how was it possible for you to treat and cure a patient in such a short period of time? All treatments take time, but you have been here for barely 40 minutes. So, do you expect us to believe that you made the patient’s swelling subside in that period of time? What do the rest think? Does this add up to you?”
The woman and her sons immediately nodded, expressing their agreement with the man. “Dr. Pierce is right. It doesn’t make sense that the two of them has managed to cure him in such a short period of time.”
“Our father’s condition has lasted for more than a half a month without any improvement, but this guy said he cured Dad’s swelling in a matter of minutes. Was he kidding us?”
“Exactly. That amount of time wasn’t even enough for any doctor to study and understand the diagnosis.”
“How can anyone ever do something like this for fame?” The woman and her sons grumbled among each other.
Brian Pierce was the department director in question and he had a gleeful expression, fantasizing about the success that he could achieve if he claimed Matthew’s credit as his own. After all, this uncommon medical case was one that concerned every doctor in the hospital, as well as a number of other specialists around Eastcliff. By then, he was sure he would rise to fame and become more influential in the hospital if he was known as the doctor who cured the patient of the abnormal disease. Thus, he felt like he had hit the jackpot when his plan to take advantage of Matthew presented him with an opportunity to steal Matthew’s credit instead. This was because Brian’s initial intention was merely to put him in a tight spot.
In the meantime, Matthew frowned as he was annoyed by the doctor’s shamelessness. Thus, he held Crystal and coldly added, “Alright, since you are claiming to be the one who cured him, you should probably handle the rest of the job.”
As he was stunned by Matthew’s words, Brian couldn’t help but wonder what else there was to be taken care of. While the woman and her sons shifted their attention to him the next moment, he went ahead and nodded despite his confusion. “Hmph! You don’t say! I’m his attending physician, so I will make sure he fully recovers.”
Deep down in his heart, he reckoned everything else would be a piece of cake to handle as soon as the patient’s swelling subsided.
