The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 6

Wait a minute. Did Albert just say he had come to pick up Matthew?

Tessa was in utter disbelief. There were more than a dozen luxury cars present, and the first car alone was worth over ten million dollars.

She had never ridden in such a luxurious car before. Yet, Matthew, a mere ex-convict and a man she had recently dumped, was being picked up in such a luxurious car!

Just what had he done to deserve such special treatment?

It had to be a mistake!

From the comfort of the car, she gestured toward Matthew on the roadside and said to Albert, "Are you sure about that? Take a good look at him. He's dressed like that and even has to hail a cab to get around. How could you possibly be here to pick him up? There must be a mistake! You must be here for me!"

Albert furrowed his brow at Tessa's rambling. After all, he had indeed been sent here to pick up a man. And he certainly wasn't there to pick up this woman.

Glancing at Matthew, Albert approached him and asked politely, "Excuse me, sir. Are you perhaps Mr. Matthew Grant?"

With a dubious look, Matthew nodded and said, "Yes, I'm Matthew Grant."

Albert was delighted that he had finally found the right person. "Good day, Mr. Grant. I'm here to pick you up."

Pick him up?

A wave of confusion washed over Matthew. After all, only Lillian and Stanley knew about his divorce, and he hadn't told anyone else about it.

But now, a motorcade of luxury cars had unexpectedly pulled up, claiming to be there to pick him up.

Caught off guard by the sudden turn of events, he asked, "Who asked you to pick me up?"

Albert explained with a smile, "We're here on behalf of Mr. Carter."

Mr. Carter? After some thought, Matthew remembered that the only "Mr. Carter" he knew was Fred.

At that moment, it dawned on him that Fred must have sought him for his medical expertise and tracked down his whereabouts.

A sense of displeasure washed over him at this thought. After all, he disliked people prying into his private life.

He felt compelled to issue a warning to Fred as soon as he met him, so he said, "Alright, take me to Mr. Carter then. And make it quick; I've got other commitments today."

After Albert hummed in agreement and was about to invite Matthew into the car, he suddenly recalled that Tessa was inside.

He hurriedly shooed her away. "Why are you still in the car? Get out now, or I'll have to drag you out myself!"

Tessa was still reeling from the shock. She couldn't wrap her head around the idea that such a lavish and extravagant motorcade had come to pick up Matthew.

Who had made such arrangements to pick him up? And why was he deemed worthy of being picked up?

There must have been some kind of mistake!

She wanted to understand the reason behind it, so she asked, "Why did Mr. Carter invite Matthew? Is it possible it's someone else with the same name? Did you guys mix him up with someone else?"

Passersby were becoming increasingly drawn to the commotion, and before long, a crowd of nearly a hundred onlookers had formed at the scene.

Albert, who was eager to leave with Matthew, became irritated by Tessa's questions. "Who are you to meddle in Mr. Carter's affairs? Mr. Grant is Mr. Carter's honored guest!

"Get out of the car immediately. You're holding me up from picking up our guest. I'll be forced to take action if you don't comply."

Everyone had already gathered at the hotel and was awaiting Matthew's arrival for the arranged blind date. Time was of the essence for Albert.

Tessa was fuming. She had actually been subjected to such disrespectful treatment and dismissed in full view of everyone.

She still couldn't wrap her head around the idea that someone would send a fancy motorcade for Matthew.

"Please don't be upset. You might have really made a mistake. I'm the president of Evergreen Group. My name is—"

At this point, Albert completely lost his patience and roared, "You've left me no choice. If you don't get out now, I'll take matters into my own hands!"

As he spoke, he walked directly to the passenger side, looking as if he were about to forcibly remove Tessa from the car.

In a panic, Tessa scrambled out of the car and ran a few feet away. When she realized that Albert wasn't pursuing her, she stopped.

Albert made his way to Matthew, offered a courteous bow, and extended a hand toward the car, saying respectfully, "After you, Mr. Grant."

Matthew made a sound of agreement and got into the passenger seat.

When Tessa saw Matthew getting into the car at the head of the procession of luxury cars, she felt as if she were experiencing a dream. It was all so unbelievable.

She had been forced out of the car, while Matthew had been courteously invited in.

Did Matthew have something going on that she wasn't aware of? If not, why would he be accorded such exceptional treatment?

Everyone around was abuzz with speculation, each having their own take on what was happening.

"She believed this man wasn't good enough for her and divorced him. Who would have thought that he'd have luxury cars picking him up? She even tried to get in the car and got kicked out instead."

"Check it out. You can see the regret written all over her face."

"A man who travels in that kind of car is undoubtedly wealthy. Whoever divorced him is going to be eating their heart out."
