Man With Super Medical Skill novel Chapter 2586

Miles didn't react even after receiving such a harsh reprimand from Bennett. Instead, he simply nodded and stepped back, acknowledging his mistake.

On the other hand, Ophelia felt wronged on his behalf. So, she shrugged off Miles' restraining arm and responded sternly, "Uncle Bennett, my parents entrusted me to Uncle Miles before they passed away. Plus, Grandfather personally acknowledged Uncle Miles as his adopted son. He is part of our family."

Then, she continued, "As for Mr. Larson, he was personally invited by Grandfather himself. If you are dissatisfied, you can take this up to Grandfather. There's no need to make sarcastic remarks here."

Bennett's face instantly turned dark as Ophelia spoke against him. "You! Young lady, how dare you speak to your Uncle like this? If your father hadn't died so early..."

Before he could continue his rant, Erwin suddenly tapped his shoulder with his folding fan. "That's enough; we're family. We shouldn't exchange barbs here. In fact, we really shouldn't be fighting at all."

Once he said his piece, he turned to Matthew and said with a warm smile plastered on his face, "Mr. Larson, it's a pleasure to meet your acquaintance. I apologize for the embarrassment. Please take a seat."

Matthew merely smiled faintly upon receiving Erwin's invitation and nodded agreeably. Even though he was already wary of Erwin, the series of actions the man had taken only made him even more watchful.

This person was clearly a master at hiding his schemes behind a smile.

On the other hand, Ophelia's reaction surprised Matthew. He didn't expect this girl to possess such a strong temper.

Nonetheless, the atmosphere gradually relaxed under Erwin's careful mediation. The two, who were just butting heads earlier, had sat down calmly.

As the banquet went on, it was clear that Erwin had taken up the mantle of being a gracious host.

"Mr. Larson, welcome to the Zedler Family. May I ask where you came from?"

Matthew naturally couldn't reveal the whole truth when faced with Erwin's inquiry, especially when this man was already on his watchlist.

"Mr. Erwin, you're too kind. I have been staying in Hulwin prior to this. I only came all this way after receiving Old Mr. Zedler's invitation."

"Oh, I see. Since Father values you so highly, Mr. Larson, you have to be very skilled in medicine, right?"

"Ah, Mr. Erwin, you truly flatter me. I'm just in my 30s and have only just begun my journey in the medical field. In fact, I'm just a practicing doctor in Hulwin. Perhaps it was my skill in resurrection elixirs that caught Old Mr. Zedler's attention."

Erwin's smiling face froze for a split second upon hearing Matthew's response. Meanwhile, Mr. Bennet had no qualms in scoffing in disbelief, "You're truly young and arrogant. Claiming to possess such miraculous elixirs with your skill!"
