The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 5

Tessa was immediately taken aback by his response. Matthew was actually urging her to hurry up. How could this be? Shouldn't Matthew be finding all sorts of excuses to avoid the divorce?

Or had she been misjudging the whole situation all along?

When Matthew noticed that Tessa was stunned and rooted to the spot, he said curtly, "Snap out of it and move. I really can't stand being married to you for even one more moment!"

Now that his heart had been completely broken, he just wanted to cut all ties and move on.

A few passersby walked past the entrance, all casting strange glances at Tessa.

Tessa's cheeks flushed with shame. It appeared as though she was the one begging Matthew not to leave. She felt utterly humiliated and stormed toward the courthouse.

As she walked, she mumbled under her breath, "I'm the one divorcing you—"

Before she could finish speaking, she noticed that Matthew had already reached the counter, so she quickened her pace to join him.

Along with the divorce agreement, the two had brought their marriage certificate and ID cards. They were both adamant about ending their marriage.

After the clerk made a perfunctory attempt to dissuade them, they proceeded to finalize their divorce.

Once Matthew had gotten the divorce certificate, he hastily made his way out of the courthouse.

Tessa shouted after him, "Wait, Matthew!"

Having just finalized his divorce, Matthew was experiencing a whirlwind of emotions. He paused when he heard Tessa call out to him. As he fixed a cold gaze on her, he asked, "What's the matter?"

Tessa held up the divorce certificate and said, "With this, we are officially strangers from this moment on. Before we go our separate ways, there are some things I need to tell you.

"If you find yourself short on cash, don't even bother asking me for it. If you end up jobless, don't expect me to find you a new job. And if you encounter any problems in life, don't bother begging me for help, because I won't offer it. I'm officially done with you. From now on, I'm moving on with my life!"

Although they were no longer married, she couldn't help but worry since she knew that Matthew was both penniless and unemployed.

She was anxious that Matthew would come to her for help. Hence, she had decided to give him a warning.

Beg her?

Angered by Tessa's words, Matthew snapped back, "Aren't you being too presumptuous, Tessa? I'll definitely live a better life than you, and maybe in the future, you'll be the one begging me for help!"

Without waiting for Tessa's reply, he headed to the curb. After glancing both ways and spotting a cab in the distance, he promptly hailed it.

It seemed like the cab driver didn't notice Matthew and drove away instead.

A hint of disdain appeared on Tessa's face. A grown man reduced to the indignity of hailing a cab had been left standing on the curb because even the cab driver wouldn't stop for him.

What a humiliating sight! Tessa thought that he was still stubbornly putting on a brave front despite all that.

As she was about to make a sarcastic quip, her phone suddenly rang. She pulled it out and saw that it was Randall Young calling, so she immediately answered it. "Hey there, Randall."

Randall asked from the other end, "Has the divorce been finalized?"

With a smile, Tessa reassured him, saying, "It's all taken care of."

Over the phone, Randall exclaimed, "Wonderful! Stay put; I'm on my way. We have to celebrate in style tonight!"

A smile played on Tessa's lips. After all, Randall's eagerness to celebrate indicated how much he cared for her. "Hurry up then! I'll be waiting for you."

She ended the call, curious about the surprise Randall had planned for her. Thinking of that, she waited expectantly.

Meanwhile, Matthew was slightly bummed that the cab hadn't stopped for him.

As he looked into the distance, hoping for the next cab to come by, the sight that greeted him left him stunned.

A motorcade of luxury cars emerged in the distance, driving toward him in an organized fashion.

The car leading the motorcade was particularly impressive. Its design was modern and futuristic, and it was clearly an expensive sports car.

As the cars approached, he realized it was a Koenigsegg. It was clear that those cars belonged to some big shot.
