Chapter 785


    Crystal finally understood what was going on. “I see. Then, the medical fees…”


    Jordan hurriedly answered, “I’ve paid for all the medical fees!”


    She nodded and spoke no further while Matthew took a nce at Jordan. His initial impression of Jordan


    was that thetter was an honest man, but now, he was truly impressed by what Jordan had done.


    Upon finding out that the beggar had no family members, not only did Jordan not chase him out, but he


    also made the patient stay in the hospitalpound and paid for the man’s medical fees. Most people


    would never be able to do that.


    Moreover, the injury caused by the crash and the abscesses on the patient’s body were two different


    things. Supposedly, Jordan just had to treat the man’s injury and didn’t have to care about other


    matters. Now, he was willing to foot the medical bills with his own money, which went to show that he


    was a kind-hearted man.


    As they spoke, they arrived at the house where the patient resided. He took a look at Crystal and uttered


    in a small voice, “Miss Harrison, why don’t you stay outside? I’m worried that you’ll be horrified by the


    patient’s condition.”


    After giving it a thought, Crystal nodded in agreement, as she probably couldn’t bear to see a patient


    covered in abscesses.


    Then, he led Matthew to the innermost room. Upon entering the room, they realized that the ce was


    dim and a foul smell permeated the air. Inside the darkness, someone was trembling in the corner with


    his body curled up.


    Jordan hurriedly walked over and said, “Hey… Why didn’t you sleep on the bed? Come on. Take a seat


    on the bed first. I’ve brought a doctor to check on you. Don’t be afraid.”


    He brought the patient to the bed and switched on the light. Matthew’s expression changed drastically


    when he took a closer look, for the patient’s condition was more horrible than what was described.


    Indeed, the patient’s entire body was covered in abscesses, including his face, hands and neck—


    basically every inch of his skin had been affected. The abscesses were all white, as though they were


    filled with pus.


    It was like he had been sshed with boiling water, which caused every inch of his skin to be covered in


    blisters. Moreover, the blisters were filled with pus, not water, which was the most horrifying thing about


    it.


    Crystal had made the right decision not toe in. On the other hand, Jordan was used to it, so he


    appeared calm.


    “Mr. Larson… What do you think is going on with him?” Jordan had changed the way he addressed


    Matthew because she had said that even Dr. Ellis thought highly of Matthew. Dr. Ellis was the most


    respected figure in the medical field in Eastshire. If even Dr. Ellis thought highly of Matthew, Jordan


    certainly had to show due respect to him as well.


    Without uttering a word, Matthew stared fixedly at the patient with shock. Jordan felt doubtful and


    wondered whether Matthew had discovered anything. Without trying to ask him about it, Jordan waited


    patiently on the side.

    A momentter, Matthew approached the patient and poked one of the abscesses. The abscess shook a


    little, as though the pus inside it had been impacted.


    Upon that, the patient gasped, as though the pain was excruciating for him.


    With a smile, he asked, “Dr. Burton, you haven’t examined the pus, right?”


    Jordan was shocked. “Mr. Larson, how do you know? We wanted to examine the pus, but as soon as we


    touched his abscesses, he would gasp in pain. We tried to anesthetize him to treat him, but it was


    useless. He couldn’t be anesthetized—be it through injection or oral consumption. I even tried to


    increase the dosage, but it was still useless, which was very strange.”


    Matthew smiled. “It wasn’t strange at all. That was right.”
