Chapter 55
Matthew shifted his gaze toward James.
James had a severe imbalance of energy, and Matthew needed to prepare some medications to nurse his condition. He thought about which medication would be most suitable.
Upon seeing Matthew silent, Mike assumed that he was at a loss for words.
“What’s wrong? Cat got your tongue? I knew you were trying to steal the spotlight. You probably saw the patient wake up and take the chance.
“You randomly jabbed a few needles, trying to steal credit. Then, you even boasted that you could wake up comatose? “Just wait. We won’t let you off easily! Once the patient’s family learns the truth, you’ll be reported to the court. You’re not a hero; you’re a fraud!”
Fraud?
Matthew furrowed his brows. He had been accused of being a fraud. Just how vicious could Mike be?
As Matthew was about to rebuke Mike, Leah approached them. She bent her knees and knelt before Matthew, sobbing.
“Thank you,” she cried. “Thank you for saving my husband. You didn’t just save him; you saved our entire family. You’re our hero.”
Matthew quickly reached out to pull Leah up. “Please don’t kneel. I’m a doctor. It’s my duty to treat patients. I don’t deserve this.”
However, Leah remained on her knees. She turned around and called out to James, “Honey, come over and thank the doctor. The hospital said you were in a vegetative state, but he woke you up.”
James didn’t understand the whole story. However, when he saw Leah’s behavior, he slightly caught on. He walked over to Matthew and knelt.
“Thank you. I’m the backbone of this family, Without me, they wouldn’t survive. Thank you for saving me.”
Upon seeing that, their three children ran over and knelt as well.
Matthew was overwhelmed as he tried to help them all up.
Meanwhile, Mike had a pallid countenance. How could they believe that Matthew had revived a vegetative person?
Unable to hold back, Mike interjected, “Use your heads! How can someone without proper medical education wake up a vegetative person?
“Don’t you find this funny? He just jabbed needles because he saw the patient waking up and successfully stole credit Content from NôvelDr(a)ma.Org.
for it.
“You were fooled! You should sue him for fraud! Our hospital can testify and make sure he pays!”
James looked conflicted. Since he didn’t know the full story, he was unsure of how to respond. He then turned to Leah.
“Sweetheart…”
Leah signaled for James to stay silent and then walked toward Mike.
“When I asked him to treat my husband, I said I wouldn’t hold him responsible if it didn’t work. I said I’d be incredibly grateful as long as he’s willing to treat my husband.
“Now you say he tricked me, even asking me to sue him? Should I sue him for ‘tricking‘ my husband back to life? If getting tricked means my husband wakes up, then I’ll gladly let you trick me too!
“But when I begged you to help my husband, you said you couldn’t,” Leah said, agitated.
Mike’s face was filled with embarrassment. When Leah had learned that James was in a vegetative state, she had.
indeed knelt down and begged him.
But how could that be the same?
“Can’t you see? He’s just gotten lucky. Think about it. He never studied medicine at a university.
“Unlike me, who holds a doctorate, he doesn’t have a degree, not even a bachelor’s or an associate’s. How could he possibly have the skills?”
Leah grew furious upon hearing that. Matthew hadn’t just saved James; he had saved her entire life from falling apart.
He had restored a father to her three children and brought their family back together. Her gratitude toward Matthew could never be expressed through words.
However, Mike continued to attack the man who had saved James‘ life.
Unable to stay silent any longer, Leah angrily retorted, “I don’t care if you have a master’s degree or a doctorate. The best doctor is the one who woke up james.
“Don’t talk to me about qualifications. His medical skills are clearly far beyond yours. You should be learning from him!
