Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) -
Chapter 1534
Matthew didn't answer Rat's pleas. Instead, he looked at Tiana with a faint smile. "Tiana, I'm going out with your brother to run some errands. How about you go into the house to rest?" Tiana nodded obediently in agreement. "Okay, Mr. Larson."
With that, she ran into the house and went into her bedroom as told.
Matthew glanced at Rat, who was kneeling on the ground, and asked, "Do you wish to save your sister? If so, come with me! "
Rat immediately scrambled off the dirty ground and followed Matthew.
Finally, Matthew turned toward Robin and suggested. "Mr. Lane, I guess Hairy will return to exact his revenge. Why don't you take Tiana with you and find a hiding place?"
When Robin heard Matthew's proposal, he sighed in resignation. "That's fine with me too. I'll close early today. Take care."
Matthew nodded with a smile.
Afterward, he left the clinic with Rat, and Robin immediately shut the door.
Rat followed behind Matthew nervously as he didn't know what Matthew was planning.
They kept walking, and Matthew only halted in his tracks once they were out of the alley.
As for Rat, he stood not far behind Matthew. He had his head lowered as he kept tugging at the corner of his clothes, looking like a child who had done something wrong and was caught red-handed. "I'm sorry, Mr. Larson. I shouldn't have stolen your stuff. Don't worry. I-I will pay you back the money as soon as possible..." Rat stammered pathetically while shifting about anxiously.
Matthew merely smiled at Rat as he observed the apprehensive man. Then, he fished out a cigarette and handed it to Rat.
He had never planned on causing trouble for Rat since the beginning.
Actually, Matthew knew that Rat wasn't an irredeemable person ever since Rat placed his wallet near the police booth.
Later, after Matthew scrutinized how Rat was so worried about his sister and guessed why he had been leading a life of crime due to his care for his ill sister, he couldn't help but think of his past self. At that time, I was also near desperation. Even so, I was still ready to risk everything and tried my best to keep Nat alive. Rat is exactly the same as I was back then'. So, I decided not only would I not punish him, but I would lend him a helping hand. Moreover, my trip to Cummeal this time is also a secret solo trip I make to investigate some matters by myself. Hence, I will eventually need a local to help me lead the way and help me investigate the matter that was going on here.And Rat, this local pickpocket, is the perfect guide!
With that in mind, Matthew asked, "Do you want to earn some money?"
Rat was stunned for a moment before he stared at Matthew in surprise. "W-What kind of money are we talking about?"
Matthew didn't give him the full details on what he needed Rat to do; instead, he was rather vague when he replied, "Help me get something done. Once you've completed the job successfully, I will write off the money you stole from me. Not only that, I'll give you another 300,000 and treat your sister for free. How about that?"
Rat almost cried out in joy when he heard Matthew's offer.
Therefore, he stumbled when answering in his haste to agree, "Mr. Larson, y-you don't need to give me money. As long as you can cure my sister's illness, no matter the job, I will never back down despite how perilous it might be!"
Matthew chuckled softly after hearing Rat's declaration. "It's not extremely dangerous. What I want you to do is very simple. This is my first time in Cummeal. So, I need a guide who can help me lead the way and give me a detailed explanation of the local climate in Cummeal. So, would you like to be my guide?"
Rat couldn't help but be taken aback by the turn of events. He thought he would have to do something that might stain his conscience, so it never crossed his mind that the task Matthew would ask him to do was actually so simple.
I just have to be a guide. Any local in Cummeal can do that.
Therefore, he looked at Matthew suspiciously, wondering what on earth Matthew was getting at. There's no such thing as a free meal, plus curing his sister was something worth more than one free meal. Matthew glanced at Rat's apprehensive expression and inquired, "What's wrong? Do you not want to?"
Rat feared that Matthew might go back on his word if he disagreed, so he immediately stated, "I-I'm willing to. M-Mr. Larson, I'll do whatever you want me to do!"
Matthew nodded in satisfaction. "Very well. Let's go."
Rat asked in confusion, "Where are we going?"
Matthew answered, "I'm hungry. Let's find a place to have some food first. Also-since I have just arrived here, I have to find a hotel to stay in."
Realization hit Rat, and he immediately added, "Mr. Larson, I know a hotel with pretty cheap rates. I will take you there..."
Since Matthew was rich, he didn't bother much about the price rates of the hotel. Therefore, he said, "It does not necessarily have to be cheap. Just take me to the best local hotel."
Rat glanced at Matthew in shock as he didn't expect that this non-local who came here by bus was actually a secret billionaire.
