The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 34

Zayden knew Brad's status, but to hear him vouch for someone with his life was shocking.

Who exactly was this Matthew? And why did Brad hold him in such high regard?

Matthew felt a little embarrassed by Brad's enthusiasm. "It's not that serious. I just need a word of support. If possible, her mother's birthday is the day after tomorrow. It would be great if he could attend the celebration."

Zayden frowned upon hearing the date.

"I fully support Rachel, but I won't be able to attend that day. I have urgent duties and will be leaving Khoitwood tomorrow."

He had to carry out his mission, no matter what. Not even a family emergency could stop him. Hence, despite Brad's high regard for Matthew, Zayden refused without hesitation.

Brad interrupted him. "You don't need to go back tomorrow. Those are minor matters. I'm giving you a leave. Just attend the birthday celebration and take a gift on my behalf."

Zayden was completely taken aback. Military duties were never minor. His mission was crucial, rain or shine.

But Brad had given him leave, which made him realize Matthew's importance in Brad's eyes.

He immediately agreed. "All right. I'll be there on time."

Matthew shook Brad's hands gratefully. "Thank you. Thank you for your support."

Brad held his hand tightly. "It's an honor and pleasure to help you."

Matthew shook Zayden's hand as well. "See you the day after tomorrow."

Zayden solemnly promised. "I'll be there for sure."

Matthew waved as he and Rachel got into the car. As the car drove away, Brad was still waving.

Zayden couldn't hold back any longer. "Who exactly is he? Why do you respect him so much?"
