Nobody could hide their astonishment at what they just saw.
What was going on?
Did Dr. Ellis know this hospital janitor? It seemed like they were more than just acquaintances. Dr. Ellis was so modest and respectful toward Matthew it was as though he was greeting a senior. What exactly was going on?
Dumbstruck, Crystal stared at Matthew in a daze. Could his real backing be Dr. Ellis?
Just what was Matthew’s background and identity?
“Hi, Dr. Ellis. I’m here for some business,” Matthew said.
“Oh, really?” Dr. Ellis’ eyes sparkled. “May I be of any help?”
Matthew chuckled and said, “You can, actually.”
“Just say the word, Mr. Larson!” he replied hurriedly.
Glancing at the man in glasses, Matthew asked, “Is this man your nephew?”
By now, the man in glasses was so terrified that he was trembling all over, muttering some gibberish but couldn’t put a sentence together.
Dr. Ellis shook his head. “Only that his father is a patient of mine.”
“I see.” Matthew nodded knowingly. “I hope you won’t mind that I beat him up earlier.”
Shooting daggers at the man in glasses, Dr. Ellis said indignantly, “If it’s you who beat him up, that just means he deserves it. How dare this insolent b*stard offend you? Even death is too good for him! Somebody, take him away, break his legs and leave him on the streets!”
A group of men came up savagely and dragged him away, and nobody gave two hoots about his cries and pleas.
It was an order from Dr. Ellis himself, so who would have the guts to say anything?
Furrowing his brows, Mr. Harrison asked solemnly, “Did you do something to offend him?”
When he saw that she merely clenched her jaw tightly without a word, he blew his top. “I can’t believe it! I don’t know what else to say to you. I was giving you an opportunity when I told you to take care of Mr. Larson! Do you know how much of an important figure he is? He even saved my life! In Eastcliff, even Billy, Timothy and Stanley have to show him some respect! And y-you actually offended him?”
Startled, she was not expecting that even these three big shots of Eastcliff had to respect Matthew.
Just how powerful is he?
“But h-he’s merely a live-in son-in-law and a janitor. What right does he have?” she said indignantly.
“What right does he have, you ask?” Mr. Harrison said through gritted teeth. “Then tell me, what right do I have to be in my current position?”
“He can’t be compared to you!” she replied frantically. “You’re a great doctor in Eastcliff who has saved many lives! He’s nothing but a hospital janitor who relies on his wife, and he is not qualified to be compared to you!”
Sighing, he shook his head and said, “You have no idea about strength at all.”
