Matthew was somewhat surprised. He asked, "Is that so? Let's go find him immediately."
Leveraging his status as a renowned doctor, Mike could ruin a drug's reputation by saying it might make patients comatose.
Even if the drug had no side effects, it would still be doomed.
He started walking toward the the doctor's office. After a few steps, he heard Tracy shout from behind, "Stop, don't go yet!"
Matthew stopped and looked at Tracy in confusion. He asked, "What's the matter?"
Tracy shook her head slightly at Matthew as she replied, "You can't go. You just had a conflict with him. If you go, it'll only make things worse."
Matthew didn't understand Tracy's logic but felt he needed to go. He said, "Neither of you know medicine. If I don't go, you won't be able to resolve this."
Tracy confidently replied, "If you go, it will only make things worse. What can you do besides exacerbate the conflict? Can you not make things more complicated?"
Matthew thought his medical expertise would be helpful, but to Tracy, he seemed to be nothing but trouble. It was too much!
Feeling somewhat apologetic, Rachel gave a rare smile. She said, "Please wait here for a while."
Tracy was shocked by the scene because she couldn't believe that Rachel had actually smiled at a man.
It was impossible that Rachel had smiled at a man.
She and Rachel walked toward the doctor's office. On the way, Tracy leaned close to Rachel and asked softly, "What's gotten into you? You actually smiled at him. Did something happen between you two in Khoitwood that I don't know about?"
Rachel frowned. She replied, "Let's not gossip about me right now. We need to focus on the task at hand."
