Walking up to the room upstairs, Ellie took the opportunity to implore Dr. Ellis to cure her mother.
Since Ellie was with Matthew, naturally, Dr. Ellis didn’t reject her. He then asked his driver to fetch Ellie
back first and he would go over to cure her mother after he settled his work here.
In the room, where only Matthew and Dr. Ellis remained, he immediately asked curiously, “Mr. Larson,
since that lady is your friend, why don’t you personally cure her mother?”
Matthew replied, “I’m not too fond of showing my face. If there’s a choice, I won’t do it myself.”
“I see!”
Dr. Ellis finally understood the reason and felt that Matthew was indeed humble and low-profiled.
“With you attending the medical exchange conference this time, Eastshire can finally win!” Dr. Ellis said
emotionally.
Matthew didn’t clarify to him that he would be representing Eastcliff in the competition and only enquired
how the competition worked in this medical exchange conference.
So, Dr. Ellis gave him a detailed description.
In every year’s conference, each state would provide a special medical case and the representative of
each state would make a diagnosis and give treatment.
The medical skills of each state would then be ranked according to the number of cured patients, and the
amount of resources distributed to the medical industry of each state for that year would be decided
according to that rank.
The resources included medicine, medical instruments, medical institutions and many more.
In short, the state that won would get the biggest piece of the pie from the resources pooled together by
the medical industry of the six southern states.
If they failed, they had to give up their portion to the others.
Eastshire had been the bottom for seven consecutive years, which made it impossible for the medicines
that were produced at Eastshire to be exported out of the state.
That in turn caused most of the medicine manufacturers to go bankrupt.
This time, Eastshire had invited Dr. Ellis to represent them in hopes of winning this competition, and thus,
gain some benefits for Eastshire.
Enlightened, Matthew smiled.
It seemed that the situation was not favorable for the Hughes either.
Downstairs, when Annie saw Crystal’s red eyes as she walked out, she couldn’t help but feel surprised.
“Crystal, what has happened? Did your grandfather scold you again? What’s wrong with him? Why did
he insist on matching you up with that barbaric, lewd and rude man? He just walked up to people and hit
them! Most importantly, he even hit women. He’s even worse than a beast! If he dares to hit women in
public, he’s eventually going to abuse his wife at home! No way. I have to look for your grandfather and
tell him that your future is not to be trifled with!”
Annie wanted to dash up the stairs in a huff but was stopped by Crystal.
“Don’t go. We were wrong about him!”
Annie was stunned. “Wh-What do you mean?”
Sighing, Crystal related what she saw in the surveillance footage.
Everyone was stunned because they had never expected that things would turn out this way.
After a long silence, Lucas said in a low voice, “Even so, he shouldn’t have hit people. Can’t he just talk
reasonably with them? Besides, how can he hit women? Men that hit women are the worst!”
At once, the few girls beside him nodded in approval.
On the contrary, Crystal cast him a glance, thinking that Lucas was indeed a bootlicker to women who
lived up to his fame.
Right at that moment, a young man suddenly said, “Although hitting women is wrong, we still have to
consider the situation. In that incident, the rich woman was the one who bumped into Ellie, but she
pinned the blame on her instead and even demanded Ellie to compensate her. Even after Ellie knelt
down, she refused to let it pass and slapped Ellie. She’s completely mad. I think Matthew was right to hit
her. If he didn’t hit her, Ellie would have been slapped for nothing!”
At once, his words agitated the girls nearby.
Annie glared at him. “Bernard, serves you right for being single! You’re ignorant and a chauvinist. Do you
really think that hitting women is right? Isn’t your mother a woman too?”
