Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 1946

Levi stood before the window with his hands held behind his back. His eyes were calmly set on the lake outside. Even when the girl approached him from behind, he did not turn around. It was a symbol of trust he only afforded to those whom he trusted the most. The girl made the cut, and so did his chauffeur. "So?" he asked nonchalantly.

The girl bowed. "Madam claims that Matthew has destroyed his hara. He can never practice martial arts ever again."

He kept his silence while fixing his gaze on the lake. The man seemed to be waiting for something.

Awkwardly, the girl continued, "I've met Levin Paddock, and he has said the same thing as well. He claimed Dr. Ellis was the one who destroyed Matthew's hara, and he saw it happening with his own two eyes. After that operation, Matthew was left alone in a room, and Salazar was not around at the time."

Finally, Levi turned around. He took a seat at the table and stared at the girl. "You seem to have misgivings about my wife's testimonial."

An awkward feeling hung in the air, and the girl stared at the ground as she replied, "I-I just wanted to make sure everything is in order. Madam was observing the process from a distance. She might have been duped. S-So…"

Levi offered no counsel. He merely stared at the girl in silence.

Eventually, the look he gave her broke her act. She gritted her teeth as she responded, "Yes, I do not trust Madam. I lost my trust in her ever since she met Matthew, and the trust was broken the night she entered the mountain with Matthew and Salazar. Something's off with her. When Matthew set off for Granville, I tried to tail him, but she wouldn't let me get close. Madam insisted on handling the whole affair herself. I… I think she's hiding something from me."

He chuckled. "Oh, no. She's not hiding anything from you. She's hiding something from me."

Levi spared no more attention to her. He got back to the window and peered at the lake. After a long while, he finally spoke up, "Pack up. We're going to Granville tomorrow. Also, get some good herbs from our collection. We'll be giving it to Matthew as a gift."

Surprised, the girl asked, "Master Levi, are we really going to visit Matthew? Won't everyone think we're helping him, then? Pardon me, but the issue he's embroiled in is proving to be stickier than I thought. Falconn was murdered. The Damrons will not stop until they have their revenge. If we were to take Matthew's side, that'd be a bad precedent for everyone else."

He sneered. "And what of it? I will still take his side. So what if Falconn's dead? The killer wasn't Matthew. The Damrons have no ground to take it out on him. And Matthew's now crippled because of them. They are the ones at fault here. I am the King of the South, and if I choose to stay out of an injustice that was happening on my turf, then what kind of ruler would I be?"

The reasoning surprised the young woman. Not too long ago, Levi insisted on never meddling with this case. At best, they would protect Matthew. Should they meddle in the matter, the Damrons would have a reason to target Levi. Their job was to keep Matthew safe and make sure he never left the South. Nothing else. However, that changed just a moment ago. Is Master Levi really going to support Matthew? And with this flamboyant manner, too? What happened? What's with the sudden change in attitude?
