The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 16

"Get back together?" Matthew repeated the words with a hint of mockery.

He let out a cold laugh. "I begged you not to divorce me, Tessa. I pleaded for Lorraine's sake. But you insisted on leaving. I told you then that you'd regret your decision, but you thought I was joking."

Tessa's voice trembled as she shouted, "Matthew, I was out of my mind back then. I wasn't thinking straight. I regret it now. Let's get remarried!"

Matthew shook his head slowly. "You regret it now? There's no magic fix for that."

He then turned and walked toward the villa, thoroughly disappointed in Tessa. His steps were resolute and decisive.

Tessa felt her world collapse as she watched him walk away.

She burst into tears, wailing, "Matthew, I know you love me! Remember when you first got out of prison? You smiled and walked toward me, wanting to hug me.

"That proves you love me! I know I was wrong. Matthew, please don't go,.I beg you..."

Matthew didn't stop despite her pleads. As he disappeared from view, Tessa's sobs subsided. She stood up slowly and stared at the villa with its closed curtains.

"Matthew, you obviously still love me. I've already apologized, so why won't you remarry me?

"Have you ever thought about how the divorce would affect Lorraine? Just wait, I'll make sure we get back together!"

Inside the villa, Matthew sat in silence. Fred brought over a cup of tea. "Matthew, thank you for saving me. If it weren't for you, I might not have made it."

Matthew accepted the tea. "You're welcome. However, there are a few things I need to remind you of.

"No more mental workload, and you can't stay up late. You must avoid getting too excited and refrain from emotional extremes."
