Chapter 261: I Am Your Successor

Fixing his eyes on Catherine, Matthew could make no reaction for a few moments. It was the first time he had

seen her dressed like this. She looked so amazing in the ancient costume as if the dress had been exclusively made for her. And even her image had been changed, from a little witch to a fairy. What's more, Matthew thought she looked like Hailey just now. The languid but confident look on her face was the same as that of Hailey. Looking up and down at Catherine, Elsa was being alert, "Who are you?" Catherine thought for a moment, 'You're his ex-girlfriend while I'm your successor." What the hell did successor mean? Matthew twitched his mouth and felt his waist started to hurt again.

Raising her eyebrows, Elsa said, "You look like a teenage. Are you over eighteen? You're my successor? Aren't you ashamed of saying so? Where are your parents? They should take you home." Catherine slowly raised her eyelids with a cold look on her face, "I'm sorry to tell you that it's my place." Elsa was totally shocked. Peter, in the same inky-blue gown, walked towards them as he heard the noise. He was indescribably dashing"What's going on here?" Peter came over and naturally placed himself in front of Catherine.

Catherine said in a bland voice, "She is causing a scene. Kick her out. She needs a doctor, but we won't give her treatment." Catherine grabbed Matthew by his neck and dragged him in after saying so. Matthew shouted, "Hey. come on. Be gentle to me. My waist hurts." When Matthew was lying on the bed, he felt like he was the fish meat on the chopping board, pathetic and helpless, Matthew was asked to take off his top, revealing his muscular upper body which was perfect. The only flaw would be the scars on his back. However, the pair of sphenoid bones on Matthew's back was extremely beautiful and they were trembling with fear now, like the real wings of a butterfly.

Staring at Catherine who was fiddling with the silver needles, Matthew was hemming and hawing, "I mean, Catherine... Could you let Peter take care of me? I guess there's no big problem with my waist, so you don't need to cure me in person.." Catherine was preparing her silver needles with no expression on her face, saying in a bland tone, "Peter is fully occupied now, so he doesn't have time to take care of you. It's really not a big problem

with your waist, which can be solved with a few needles. I can handle it by myself, so don't bother Peter." "How come Catherine can't get my point?' Matthew thought to himself. Matthew was about to break down and

tried to convince Catherine, "First of all, I do trust you...I mean...I guess I don't actually need to accept

acupuncture therapy. I'll be fine after doing some exercises myself. I mean it. Catherine raised her black eyes

to look at Matthew, "Matthew, are you afraid of acupuncture needles?" Matthew was thinking loud, 'What I'm afraid of isn't the acupuncture needles but you.' However, Matthew was worried that he would hurt the confidence of Catherine if he were to tell her the truth. Matthew made up his mind to accept acupuncture therapy from Catherine. His waist hurt and it couldn't be worse taking several acupuncture needles. Perhaps that would be a blessing in disguise for him.

Matthew stopped struggling after putting himself together. "Okay. Go ahead." He was acting like a hero who was gonna die for his career. Catherine never doubted her own medical skills, only to feel Matthew faint-hearted. "Matthew, rest assured. I'll do it fast and you won't feel the pain." Matthew now felt as if his head was on the guillotine and was gonna cry, since what Catherine said to him did sound like what an executioner

said to the condemned, "Rest assured. You won't feel the pain since my blade is quite sharp.” “Go ahead. I'm ready.” Matthew gritted his teeth and closed his eyes, waiting for the pain to come. However, what he could sense was merely an itch on his lower back and then Catherine said blandly. "It's done." The cure

was done? Opening his eyes, Matthew was gonna look back after a pause, but Catherine stopped him. You can move in ten minutes." Matthew relied slowly. "You've put the needles on me?" Catherine said, "Yeah. Three needles will be enough for your waist, and it's not a big deal. You'll be fine after I pull out the needles." Matthew was still surprised, since he could barely feel nothing when Catherine was putting the needles on him. He still couldn't believe it, so he said to Catherine, "My phone is in the pocket. Take a picture with it. I'd like to see how my waist is now."

"You wanna take a picture of it?" Catherine couldn't understand why Matthew wanted to do so, but she still did what he asked. She reached into his trouser pocket and accidentally touched a soft part. Matthew was so stunned that he looked up at her. "Stop." Matthew shouted in a soft tone, his ears red. Catherine didn't think too much about it. She just murmured, "I didn't mean to do it, but your pocket is too deep." Catherine started the camera of the phone and took a picture of his back. She showed him the picture and Matthew saw the three needles on his waist. "It doesn't hurt, does it? My skill is perfect." Catherine was confident in her acupuncture skill. Putting Matthew's phone aside. Catherine conjured up two lollipops and waved them in front of Matthew, "Do you want one?" Catherine was treating Matthew as a child, which made him speechless. However, following his heart, Matthew said, "Peel it for me. I want the blueberry flavor." And then he opened his mouth. Catherine stopped peeling the lollipop and narrowed her eyes. "I can give you the blueberry lollipop, but you have to tell me what the relationship between you and Elsa is first." Looking at the lollipop, Matthew started, "She told you just now. She's my ex-girlfriend." "How many girlfriends have you ever had?" Matthew answered, "I don't know. I didn't count it. I'm not making up a football team, so why do I need to count it?" Catherine asked with an angry look, "What a playboy you're!" "I am." Matthew continued after a sigh. "Girls are so obsessed with my dashing face which is given by my parents."

Catherine had a sudden urge to hit him. "Now that you've had so many girlfriends, why can't you date me?" "You're different from those girls." Matthew continued, "You're still a little girl." Catherine said after a blink, "Do you mean you can date me when I grow up?" Maybe it's because Matthew was so down to taste the lollipop on Catherine's hand, he said, "Maybe." Catherine put the lollipop in Matthew's mouth as she was satisfied with his answer. The two of them were chatting happily and time passed quickly.

Ten minutes later, as soon as Catherine had removed the needles for Matthew, the door to the consultation room opened. Hailey's voice sounded from the door. "Catherine, there're not enough rooms for patients. Could share the room with you?" Before Hailey could finish her sentence, she saw Matthew lying on the bed disheveled. Hailey gave a cold look at Matthew. Before she wanted to say something, Doris, who was being held by Hailey, started, "Damned Matthew, how could you do this to such a little girl? Are you a bastard?" Matthew didn't know what to say
