The Great Medical Saint

Rachel's face flushed with anger. Her fingers trembled as she pointed at Matthew.

She had sacrificed an entire year of her precious three-year timeline to help him. Every moment was critical, and now her plans were in jeopardy because Matthew had recklessly gone after Isaac. She was devastated. The year she had given up seemed wasted, and her entire strategy was at risk of falling apart.

Her frustration peaked, and she shouted, "Matthew, are you trying to drive me crazy?

"Isaac is loaded and influential with a reputation not to be messed with. You're deliberately putting yourself in danger. I can't save you anymore!"

Matthew looked at her in bewilderment. "Save me? Besides, I never saw you come to my rescue. All I remember is the cold, indifferent way you acted when we broke up."

After what happened with Tessa, he had completely lost faith in women. He wanted to find someone to build a family for Lorraine's sake.

When he had found a sliver of hope, Rachel had wanted to break up. Now, he was utterly disillusioned with women. His tone was cold and laced with a hint of sarcasm.

Rachel snorted and realized her slip of the tongue in the heat of the moment. After hearing Matthew's words, she retorted, "I... I'm only doing this for Lorraine's sake. I don't want her to be an orphan because of your recklessness.

"But you insist on putting yourself in danger. I'm warning you for the last time. For Lorraine's sake, please stay away from Isaac.

"Don't bring trouble upon yourself. I've said what I needed to say. So, it's up to you whether or not you want to listen." With that, she turned and walked away.

Matthew scoffed. "Isaac is the one looking for trouble. I don't care about his background. If he messes with me, I'll take him down."noveldrama

He didn't get to finish his sentence before Rachel disappeared into the distance. An inexplicable sense of loss tugged at him, and it left him with a lingering feeling of regret.

Rachel was nothing like Tessa. While Tessa had been indifferent to Lorraine, Rachel showed genuine care.

Even though Lorraine wasn't her child, Rachel had been willing to spend time with her and even mentioned her moments ago.

It was a shame to lose someone with such a caring nature. As he watched her disappear into the crowd, Matthew returned to the company's exhibition area.

A long line of applicants had formed

in the exhibition area. The candidates were thrilled to see Emily, and many eagerly sought her autograph and photos once the recruitment session ended

Matthew saw this and knew hiring Emily had been the right move.

When Tracy saw him, she handed him a cup of coffee. "You're back. Here's your drink." He downed it in one gulp. "Did you mention the telomere research to Professor Bolton?" She shook her head. "No. But I think she'll focus on her old projects."

Matthew pondered and said, "The whole point of setting up the studio was for telomere research. She can work on her projects, but we can't lose sight of our goal. We need at least half of her recruits to focus on that."

Tracy shook her head. "That might be challenging. It seems like she treats each recruit as a precious asset. She even assigns specific roles to each one."

He smiled and said, "I have a plan."

...

An old man sat on a large rock by the seaside. He had a fishing rod in his hand, and his eyes narrowed as he watched the bobber floating on the water. Suddenly, a car screeched to a stop. The bobber dipped as a fish leaped out of the water and splashed back down before the old man could reel in.

The old man frowned and glared at the middle-aged man running toward him. "Bastard, can't you slow down when you park? You scared all my fish away!" The middle-aged man gasped for breath before saying, "There's been an incident. Something serious had happened."
