The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 93

Tessa felt utterly embarrassed. She desperately hoped for the ground to swallow her whole. Even if it cost her life, at least she wouldn't have to face such an awkward situation.

Unfortunately, those were merely Tessa's wishful thoughts. Glancing around, she felt like she was being sentenced in public with the nearby parents watching her.

Tessa fixed her gaze on Matthew and snarled, "Is this really necessary? Why are you treating me like this?

"Have you forgotten our wedding vows? You're supposed to love me forever, look after me, and pamper me. Are you going back on your word? Be a man and keep your promise."

Matthew was at a loss for words. How did Tessa even bring herself to say that?

She was the one who demanded a divorce and took his wealth. Now she expected him to honor his past vows—to love, cherish, and pamper her. What twisted logic.

Seeing Matthew stay silent, Tessa argued, "I gave you a daughter. No matter how much I've wronged you, you can't do the same to me."

Matthew realized Tessa was simply out of her mind.

Even though she used Lorraine to make him give up his wealth back then, she didn't hesitate to abandon Lorraine. At this very moment, she was using Lorraine to once again make unreasonable demands.

"Leave Lorraine out of this. If you bring her up again, I'll call Elliott and have him chase you for the loan repayment."

Tessa was terrified. She forced herself to calm down and said, "I don't believe you'll do it."

Just then, the children started lining up to leave school as the parents gathered at the gate.

Matthew's eyes glinted coldly. "Lori will be here any second. I don't want her to see us fighting, it'll only make her sad. I'll do anything to protect her. If you don't leave, I'll make the call right now."

As Matthew spoke, he pulled out his phone.

Tessa's face paled in fear. "Stop! Don't call Elliott. I'll leave."

Like a thief who'd just stumbled into the police, Tessa scurried away without looking back.

Matthew heaved a sigh of relief and slowly closed his eyes. The brief exchange felt like a long, drawn-out war. What hurt him the most was the torment to his heart.

Rachel watched as the exchange unfolded. She had never witnessed anything like this before. The whole situation felt as unreal as a dream.

It was shocking that women like Tessa existed. Even after the divorce, Tessa expected Matthew to keep his marriage vows and to care for her like a queen.
