Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew)
Chapter 3380 Escape

Inside the villa, Helen and Miller were sitting and chatting while Clara sat quietly in the distance, saying nothing.

"Aunt Helen, it's been days since Uncle James has been home. Shouldn't we look for him?" Miller asked, trying to sound concerned. Helen's face immediately darkened with irritation. "If he doesn't want to come home, let him stay out! Who needs him anyway?" Just as they were speaking, the front door suddenly swung open. James rushed in, wiping the sweat from his forehead. "Oh, so you finally decided to show up. I thought you had run off with another woman like that traitor son-in-law!"

James ignored her cutting words and quickly locked the door behind him. His face exuded a rare air of confidence and calm, something neither Miller nor Clara had seen in him before. They both exchanged quick glances, surprised by the change in the usually timid James.

"From now on, no one leaves this house," James announced firmly, his eyes locking onto Clara. "Especially you, who claims Matthew to be your husband!"

His words sent a chill through both Miller and Clara as the gravity of the situation sank in.

"James, what are you blabbering about? Did being away for a few days make you lose your mind?" Helen snapped, clearly annoyed by his serious tone. "Matthew is back. He'll clear everything up," James said, his expression resolute.

Helen's fiery temper cooled slightly at this, and her face showed signs of doubt. She could tell from James' demeanor-after decades of marriage that he was confident. Glancing at Clara, who still appeared calm, a wave of uncertainty crept into Helen's mind. Could I have been wrong about Matthew? But then, what about this helpless young woman who had seemed so sincere?

Miller, sensing the situation was about to get even more complicated, stood up. "Uncle James, Aunt Helen, since this seems like a family matter, I'll take my leave."

Miller wanted to avoid being there when Matthew returned. If Matthew saw him, the deal they had been. negotiating would likely fall apart. Matthew wasn't someone easily fooled like Helen.

James blocked Miller's path, his voice steady but firm. "Miller, stay a while longer. Matthew will be here soon, and we can all have a chat."

"No, Uncle James. I have a flight to catch," Miller replied coolly.

Helen, annoyed by James' insistence, barked, "Let him go, James! He's got a plane to catch; why are you stopping him?"

Reluctantly, James stepped aside.

He didn't want to create too much

tension in the family. Besides, the airports in Hulwin were already int locked down. If Miller tried to buy a ticket@sing his identity, the security would detain him on the spo

Whether James stopped him or not, Miller wasn't going anywhere.

"Thank you, Uncle James, Aunt Helen. I'll be on my way," Miller said, his voice filled with relief as he turned to leave.

Helen nodded. "Safe travels, Miller. I won't see you out."

Just as Miller opened the door, his face bright with relief, a sudden blur of motion shot past him. Clara, moving with lightning speed, bolted toward the door.

James tried to stop her but was far too slow. Clara, in just a few seconds, had dashed from the living room to the front door, slipping past everyone in the house.

Panic filled Clara as she ran. I can't

stay here! Not with Matthew back. His sudden return had caught her off guard, and she knew if she stayed, Matthew would deal with her mercilessly. He could imprison her in the Martial League's dungeons, accusing her of slandering the League's leadership. Clara was sure that if Matthew caught her, there would be no easy escape.
