The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 196

Ethan frowned upon hearing Haley's words. "Since everybody's choosing to go for modern medicine now, it must be the right choice. It's obvious that everyone agrees that modern medicine and science are the right way to go.

"You were young and naive, so you didn't know the situation. Perhaps your illnesses would've gone on their own even without seeing traditional medicine practitioners! They're all quacks, anyway."

He paused, and then continued, "Setting that aside, I think this job is great for you. I got this opportunity for you from a friend, but if you're not interested, I'll tell him to seek out someone else."

Haley hurriedly sat on his lap and kissed his cheek. "I'll do it! You have to keep this job for me! I promise I'll get it done."

Ethan reached out to fondle her breasts. "I knew you would thank me for this. I was just trying to help you, wasn't I?" Things then got hot and heavy for a while before Haley left.

Ethan straightened his clothes and had a cup of tea before pulling out a chessboard to entertain himself. He'd just made his first move when his secretary said that Sheldon had arrived.

Ethan hurriedly stood up to welcome Sheldon. He bowed his head politely to Sheldon and said, "You're an esteemed guest, Mr. Smith."

Sheldon was a little disgusted by this. Ethan looked polite and respectful, but Sheldon knew he would be terribly wrong to believe Ethan was genuine. Still, he smiled politely.

"You're being far too polite, Mr. Durbin."

Ethan led Sheldon into his office and poured the latter a cup of tea. "My friend resented me because of what went wrong with the purchasing of the herbs, you know.

"Fortunately, he's a nice guy, so he only said a few things. I hope nothing goes wrong this time, or I won't be able to explain things to him."

Sheldon said seriously, "That's why I'm here actually. I hope you'll collect the herbs once I have a truck loaded. You can take it away in Ozenia Charity's name. Say that you're taking the herbs for charitable purposes."

Ethan gave him a thumbs-up. "That's not a bad idea. Your intelligence always surprises me."

Sheldon sneered to himself. He'd grown sick of these fake compliments since he was in elementary school. He decided to bring up his true reason for being there.

"Have you heard of Matthew Grant?"
