Master of Medicine The Saintly Healer

Matthew frowned. Quinn was clearly trying to embarrass him. Fortunately, he had bought a gift today and had already given it to Yvonne.

Just as he was about to speak, Rachel interjected. “He bought a necklace and already gave it to my

y mom. Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

Quinn sneered. “I heard that you paid for the necklace, and Matthew didn’t spend a penny. Isn’t it shameful not to buy a gift for his mother–in–law’s birthday?”

Rachel was taken aback. When they had bought the necklace, Matthew’s phone hadn’t been linked to his bank card, so she had paid.

She wanted to defend Matthew but couldn’t find a reason to refute Quinn.

Yvonne’s and Martin’s face turned grim. They had advised against letting Matthew attend the party, but Rachel had insisted. And now their reputation was completely ruined.

All eyes were on Matthew. They were eager to see how the man who had won Rachel’s heart would respond.

Matthew was grateful for Rachel’s attempt to shield him. She had been considerate to him yesterday while shopping for clothes, and he remembered her kindness.

Under everyone’s gaze, he slowly stood up and looked at Quinn. “My gift isn’t valuable. I planned to present it after the party. But since you insist, I’ll give it now.”

Quinn smirked. “I know you come from Lambda City, a small place. You probably can’t afford anything decent. Go ahead and show us. We promise we won’t laugh.”

Despite his words, Quinn’s expression was filled with mockery.

Matthew’s gaze turned sharp as he looked at Quinn. “Fine. It’s not really that significant. Make sure you take a good

look. ”

The audience grew more curious and stood up to get a better view.

Yvonne’s face was ashen. As expected, Matthew had made a spectacle of himself. She regretted hosting the birthday

party.

Martin’s expression grew darker. He had no sons, and Rachel had finally become the president of Wealthwave Group. She had outshone the men from other families.

Just as he was enjoying his moment of pride, Matthew had ruined it.

Matthew raised his left arm, rolled up his sleeve, and revealed an old watch. He slowly took it off and handed it to Yvonne. He said loudly, “This is my gift.”

A used watch just taken off his wrist? The guests were stunned. Their murmurs caused an uproar.

“Oh my, he gave his mother–in–law an old watch.”

“And he just took it off his wrist. How insincere!”

“Gifts should be new and valuable. Giving a used watch shows he doesn’t care about his mother–in–law at all!”

Yvonne trembled angrily. She wished she could bury herself in a hole. Unfortunately, there was no escape, and she had to endure the ridicule.

Quinn stood up excitedly. This was the moment he had been waiting for.

He raised his voice and exclaimed, “A junk dealer wouldn’t have accepted this broken watch, yet you’re giving it as a gift? Being poor is already shameful enough! But being ill–mannered? Rachel, is this the boyfriend you chose?”

ss, and you

An elderly man stood up from the crowd and said coldly, “You have no eye for quality! That watch is priceless, call it junk?”

Quinn was startled to see that the speaker was Simon Qualls, a wealthy man known for his expertise in antiques. Quinn couldn’t understand why Simon would defend Matthew.

“Mr. Qualls, you must be mistaken.”

Simon glanced at the watch. He reached out to touch it, then retracted his hand.

“There’s no mistake. I’ll quit the antique business if I’m wrong. This is a historical antique with significant sentimental value.

“Back in the day, Lord Sirion wanted to please his lover and commissioned a custom bracelet that could tell time. Many noblewomen then intimated this and started to wear time–telling bracelets, which led to the invention of the wristwatch.

“This is the very piece Lord Sirion gave to his lover–the first wristwatch in the world. Its value is immeasurable!”
