Master of Medicine The Saintly Healer

Chapter 92

When the car window was fully open, Tessa called out, “Matthew-”

But she stopped mid–sentence when she saw Rachel in the car. After all, she had only been expecting Matthew.

Dumbstruck, Tessa couldn’t bring herself to say the lines she had prepared.

Matthew’s expression turned grim. “Get out of my face.”

After saying that, Matthew rolled up the car window. The last person he wanted to see was Tessa. He was doing his best to put the past behind him.

Life was pleasant as long as he didn’t think about her. Seeing her only drowned him in painful memories.

Every penny he previously earned went to her. Worse yet, he had gone to prison for her, only to be betrayed upon his release. In truth, it had hurt more than a knife stabbing his heart.

Meanwhile, Tessa was so flustered that she didn’t know what to do. She set everything up to make Matthew notice her. She thought that he wouldn’t be able to resist her charm and would then forgive her.

To Tessa’s surprise, Matthew didn’t even spare her a glance.

When she raised her head, she found that the other parents picking their kids up were staring at her. She felt utterly embarrassed.

Worse yet, the parents didn’t just give her strange looks; they also made comments about her aloud.

“Why is she dressed like this at a kindergarten?”

“She immediately approaches when a luxurious car shows up. I doubt she’s a proper lady.”

“How can she fish for men at a kindergarten? That’s shameless!”

“Oh dear, we’re in public. This is a bad influence on the kids.”

Tessa’s face fell, and she knocked on the car window again.

Matthew simply leaned against the seat and shut his eyes. Meanwhile, Rachel stayed quiet.

However, as the knocking became more urgent, Matthew grew annoyed and rolled down the window again. “Will you stop?”

Tessa intended to initiate a reconciliation with Matthew, but the words were stuck in her throat when she saw Rachel.

Tessa inadvertently felt a sense of inferiority. It came across as though Rachel was the rightful wife, and she was the homewrecker. Seeing Rachel made her feel small.

Since Tessa couldn’t bring herself to talk about mending the relationship, she tried seeking help with her company’s loan. “Something bad has happened to our company-‘

Matthew waved his hand and interrupted, “Hold on. It’s your company, not ours.”

Tessa’s expression changed at that. When they divorced, Matthew said he didn’t care about the company. She didn’t believe him at the time. But at this moment, she was convinced.

After recollecting her thoughts, Tessa nodded. “You’re right. My company ran into a problem. I want to get a loan, but Mr. Robins said he’d only approve it if you talk to him. Can you give him a call?”

Matthew’s expression was grim. When the company was doing well, Elliott had begged him to put a deposit in the bank. He didn’t expect things to turn out like this.

Since Elliott wasn’t going to approve the loan without Matthew’s guarantee, it meant there was no hope for the company. It took Tessa a mere three years to squander all his efforts away.

When Matthew didn’t turn her down immediately, Tessa felt a little hopeful about the loan. “Mr. Robins said he’d

crawling to you after the divorce.

“That when I run out of money, I shouldn’t come to you. If I hit rock bottom and can’t even find a job, you won’t help even if I beg for it. You wanted to start a new life.”

Tessa looked troubled. Did she actually say that? After sifting through her memories, she recalled the conversation.

Back then, Matthew was broke, while Tessa was a billionaire. She never thought that she’d end up turning to him for help one day.

Matthew coldly added, “Whether or not you remember, I’ll have you know that we’re done. I’m not going to help you.”

Facing the rejection, Tessa flared her nostrils. “Considering we were once married, can’t you make just one phone call? It wouldn’t take much of your time, but you still won’t do it.”

Matthew sported a cold expression and ridiculed, “Like you said, don’t turn to me for help. Even if you beg for it, I won’t care.”

Those words felt like a slap in the face to Tessa.
