Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 1672

It was already dusk after they'd gotten some rest. Both Matthew and Tristan went down to have dinner at a roadside stall. Ever since they were attacked, Tristan hadn't eaten anything, so she was hungry as a bear. As they sat at the stall, Matthew noticed that she seemed rather uncomfortable.

Since she hadn't been to such a dilapidated and dirty roadside stall, she found it uncomfortable to dine there. On the other hand, Matthew, who was used to having his meals at roadside stalls, actually preferred to dine at such places. After he devoured his pasta, he noticed that she barely touched her food as she found it unpalatable.

Noticing her expression, he knew that she wasn't used to it since she was a young lady from a wealthy family. He called the waiter over and ordered a bowl of white rice. As she looked at the white rice, she suddenly had some appetite and was able to take a few bites. Even so, she didn't have any of the other dishes throughout the meal. After devouring the rice, she was finally full.

Tristan sat opposite Matthew, and she blushed as she said softly, "Thank you."

"What for?" He was surprised.

She didn't say anything else, but she was actually thankful toward his attentiveness since he had purposely ordered a bowl of white rice for her when he realized that she probably found the food there unhygienic. However, Matthew was rather confused when she suddenly thanked him, not quite figuring out the situation.

Just then, a child's voice was heard. The child was asking one of the patrons, "Sir, please buy some flowers. It's very cheap. I'm begging you..."

When Matthew turned around, he noticed a little girl holding onto a basket while begging a man to buy some flowers.

The man waved impatiently and pushed the little girl onto the ground. "Go away! I'll hit you if you dare to annoy me again."

The little girl was so scared that she didn't dare to say anything. She quietly picked up the flowers from the ground and rubbed her bruised knees before approaching another person as she begged them to buy her flowers. However, no one bought the flowers from her; not only that, they even rolled their eyes at her when she approached them. Finally, she walked toward the table Matthew was at.

By then, hopelessness was written all over her face, but she still managed to pluck up her courage and asked, "Sir, buy some flowers..."

Hearing that, Matthew immediately took out a wad of cash and said, "I'll buy all these flowers from you!"

The girl was surprised at his reaction; she never thought that she would encounter such a kind soul. He passed the money to her and took her basket. Tears welled up in her eyes as she took the money from him and gave him a deep bow before she left.

As the girl left delightedly, everyone around started whispering and looked at Matthew with disdain."Does this fool know that he has been deceived?"

"Hahaha, is he dumb or what? Did he spend that much money just to get some flowers?"

Tristan furrowed her brows and whispered to him, "Dr. Larson, I believe that the girl is being controlled by syndicates and forced into selling flowers. She's obviously their tool to make money, so how could you buy flowers from her?"

"Even if she's being forced to do so, she's still a pitiful child, isn't she?" he

said while shaking his head.

When she heard those words, Tristan was so surprised that she didn't know what to say. She had seen many cases where little girls had been controlled by such groups and were forced to sell flowers for money. She knew that they were scammers all along, so she never bought any flowers from them. However, after hearing what Matthew said, she finally realized something.

That's true. Even if they are scammers, these children are pitiful since they are forced to cheat people's money at such a young age, Tristan thought.

She couldn't help but look over at Matthew. That moment, she suddenly realized that the man in front of her was a man of noble character.
