The Great Medical Saint

Lucien nodded. "That's right. I want to know what kind of family Matthew is from."

Lucien and Dominic grumbled for a while, but in the end, Dominic leaned down and carried the dead body at the legs.

"Lift the other end. Let's hurry up and get this done."

...

In the cardroom, the lobby was lively as usual. The people playing Blackjack were experiencing a range of emotions. Some were thrilled, some were frustrated, and some were excited.

In a private room, Caleb unboxed a parcel.

Jane huffed. "You threw money at Matthew on purpose, right? Were you trying to land something big?" Caleb stopped unpacking his delivery and looked up at Jane. "I wasn't trying to lose. When we try to score something, we always dig into their family background and how much they're worth. But since I don't know anything about him, why would I even set the bait?"

Seriously? Jane stared at Caleb in shock. "Wait, you mean he won the money on his own? Holy crap, that's hundreds of thousands of dollars. How did he pull that off?"

Caleb thought for a moment and replied, "He can't even hold his cards properly. The way he played feels like he's a beginner, so he probably only plays a few hands during the holidays. He must have won by pure luck."

Jane nodded. "Fingers crossed he shows up tomorrow. We can find out about his family background while we're at it. If it all checks out, let's play the long game and go for something big."

Caleb hummed in acknowledgment. As he finally unpacked the box, he started grumbling, "The surgery fee is reasonable, but the battery is a bit pricey. Changing it once a year costs 100 thousand dollars. It's like daylight robbery."

Jane glanced at the small box in Caleb's hand and chuckled. "Everyone's just here for money. We play cards and call it gambling, but it's all just about conning each other.

"Look at these fancy techs! These people rob you blind and still leave you in awe. That's some next-level stuff.

"I'll make sure my son puts in the effort in school. I want him to be the type who earns money from others and has them thanking him like it's an honor. That's what I call impressive."

Caleb didn't say a word and continued to unwrap his box.

Jane suddenly knitted her brows together. "Where did Dwight go?"

Caleb responded with a grin, "Don't you know him by now? If he wins, he'll take a lady out to celebrate. If he loses, he'll get two women with him to help him blow off steam. He lost a fair amount today, but the money lost is all his, not ours."

Jane grunted. "Dwight works hard for his money, only to spend it on women. When it was over, these women are still someone else's wives. That's just money down the drain. What is he thinking?"

After finished speaking, Jane took out a pack of cigarettes. She picked one out with her delicate fingers and put it between red lips before reaching for the lighter.noveldrama

With a click, the vivid red flame from the lighter lit up the cigarette.

Jane took a drag. As her red lips parted, she flicked her tongue as she puffed out the smoke. The sight was a mix of allure and weariness that made her captivating.

Caleb just blankly stared at Jane. Seeing that Caleb wasn't responding, Jane asked, "Am I wrong?" Caleb was flabbergasted and added, "You're right, but Dwight says marrying a wife is like marrying a boss. You have to turn over your money and tiptoe around her. It can feel tiring.

"Plus, when it comes to bedroom affairs, she's lacking both skills and the right attitude. But when he goes out with the escorts, it's a whole different story. They know how to keep him happy in all sorts of ways. That's what a man really wants."

Jane was taken aback for a second and stayed quiet. After a while, she changed the subject. "Sebastian's

lost quite a bit of money. I've got 220 thousand dollars noted down. Should we wrap this up?"

After a pause, Caleb added, "They have been pushing me. I've been trying to hold them back, but I can't hold out much longer. It's time to wrap things up."

Jane took a deep breath, as if she'd made an important decision. "Let's do it tomorrow. Just make sure to keep it subtle and make it look convincing. We want to catch the prey without hurting ourselve

Another day had dawned. The sun was blazing, roasting everything below.

Standing under a tree, Matthew looked in the clinic's direction. Through the glass door, he could see Sebastian inside having a smoke.

He turned to Renae and asked, "What now? Should I go back in and give it another shot?"

Matthew went into the clinic earlier and got kicked out. But if he wanted to acquire Integrative Medicine and Infinity Pill Formula, he needed to approach Sebastian. There was no other way around it.

Standing beside Matthew, Renae suggested, "You were too courteous earlier. How about switching it up and trying something else?"

Matthew was intrigued. He was thinking about a different approach but couldn't come up with anything. "Do you have any suggestions?"

Renae giggled and replied, "Honestly, your biggest asset now is your fists. Why not try being a little more aggressive?"
