The Great Medical Saint

After a long while, Levi finally gathered his wits and took Cedric's hand, apologizing in fear, "I'm sorry, Mr. Moore. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to do that. I was so frantic today that I slipped up." Cedric looked livid. "It wasn't that you were frantic and slipped up. I think you've gone mad. Do you have any idea what you're doing?

"We've been trying to collect evidence against Tobias and his criminal organization. I'd never thought you'd be the person behind him. And why did you give Matthew trouble? You must give him an explanation." Levi's face was ashen. Cedric was clearly on good terms with Matthew. He couldn't understand how Cedric knew someone as insignificant as Matthew. He was in big trouble.

Nonetheless, without Isaac's permission, he dared not reveal anything.

Matthew got up and walked to Levi. "Are you not going to give me an explanation?"

Levi feared Cedric, given that the latter was his immediate superior. However, he held a higher position than Matthew. A small fry like Matthew was nothing to him.

He asked rudely, "So what if I don't?"

Without any hesitation, Matthew gave Levi a loud slap across the face.

Levi looked at him in shock. "Are you crazy? You dare hit me?"

Matthew had no reason to be afraid. He kicked Levi's stomach, knocking him to the ground. "I could break you!"

Slam!

Levi was launched three feet away by a kick, hitting the ground with a heavy thud.

Clutching his stomach, he cried out in pain, "My... my stomach... It hurts!"noveldrama

Cedric was standing to the side, watching them dumbly. Despite being the top brass of Lambda City, he wouldn't dare attack Levi like that either.

The reason was that no one would be able to reach their respective positions by happenstance. Both of them had powerful connections and patrons. Cedric could deal with Levi, but he must follow certain rules. He had promised Matthew that.

In reality, Cedric was Matthew's patient. However, their doctor-patient relationship was not typical. Cedric had asked Matthew to prolong his life.

When Matthey had been in jail,

Cedric had been the first public

figure to visit him there and seek his consultation. Nonetheless, he had to get treated for his illness every three years. Soon he would need his second treatment.

Levi was furious at being attacked. "Matthew, do you know who I am? You dared to hit me. You're doomed. It's all over for you!" "Who do you think you are?" Matthew mused, his face cold.

"You're just an average person who's

been fired. You're worse than an average person. You've colluded with a criminal organization and might go to jail. Why is it wrong to hit you?"

Levi was stunned into silence. If that was true, he had taken this beating for nothing. Moreover, his life might be over.

He looked to Cedric in horror. "You... What's that supposed to mean?"

Cedric's expression was solemn. "Your actions have been exposed. Your career is over, and your life is ruined. Do you understand now?"

Levi breathed in deeply. As things stood, he might as well go all out. "Cedric, I know you have powerful connections. I know how impressive you are. But do you think I don't have any? Do you know who I'm working for?

A

grave look appeared in Cedric's eyes. "Who? Tell me."

Cedric had a bad feeling. Judging by Levi's words, the person must be very powerful. Otherwise, Levi would have no reason to reveal who they were. Matthew had been waiting. He looked at Levi dispassionately, waiting for his answer.

Levi clenched his teeth. He had decided to go for it. "He's—"

Right as he said that, Cedric reminded him, "Levi, think it over before you speak. If you say it, you can't take it back. But you'll have to bear the consequences."
