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?
But that didn’t look like the case since Dr. Ellis seemed to hold him in high respect. It was clear as day
to anyone that he was the one in need of Matthew.
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?
Once more, everyone was shocked at how just one word from Matthew was enough to make Dr. Ellis
break a man’s legs with no questions asked.
It seemed as though he was a subordinate of Matthew’s.
Chuckling, Dr. Ellis said, “Mr. Larson, let’s not dampen our spirits over such an insignificant matter. Why
don’t we take a seat upstairs first?”
Matthew agreed with a nod and brought Ellie with him as Dr. Ellis led them upstairs. When he passed by
Crystal, he gave her a bantering look.
The look on her face was complicated and unreadable. Initially, she was sure that he would be dead, but
much to everyone’s surprise, things had taken an unexpected turn!
Soon, Mr. Harrison finally returned and asked, “Where’s Mr. Larson? You didn’t anger him, did you?”
With reddened eyes, Crystal stammered, “Grandpa, wh-who exactly is Matthew?”
“I told you he’s a highly important figure!”
“What do you mean?” she spat, upset at the situation. “What sort of important figure could a live-in son-
in-law who’s just a hospital janitor be?”
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.”
