“Matthew, what’s this all about?” James couldn’t wait but ask as soon as the birthday celebration ended.

Sasha and the rest of the family too eyed Matthew with astonishment, considering that everything that had unfolded that night was too surreal. With a faint smile, Matthew revealed the truth to them, “It’s nothing much. I just managed to cure the illness of Mr. Newman’s daughter.”

“Mr. Newman’s daughter?” Helen exclaimed in surprise. “Miss Newman was knocked by a car who then turned into a vegetative patient. Ever since then, she had been in a state of coma for a year. Y-You actually cured a vegetative patient?”

At that moment, something dawned on Demi, who prompted anxiously, “Mom, do you remember that Sasha’s company once came up with a new drug that claimed to be a cure for vegetative patients? Matthew, did you use that drug on his daughter?”

“Is that true?” Helen asked curiously.

“That must be the case!” Demi continued, “Matthew is only a graduate from a technical college and he merely works as a cleaner at the hospital. How can he have such excellent medical skills? I bet he must have taken all the credit by using the drug manufactured by our family!”

“That makes sense!” Helen’s eyes lit up with excitement. If that was really the case, the credit of curing Mr. Newman’s daughter should have gone to the Cunninghams instead. With that thought in mind, Helen was once again overwhelmed with bitter resentment. Matthew had had his glorious moment that night which was supposed to belong to the Cunninghams! Helen then quickly probed, “Matthew, since you cured his daughter, how much did he pay you as a reward?”

“I received nothing!” Matthew shook his head and he did not offer an explanation about Demi’s speculation. He did not feel it was the right timing yet to tell anyone about his family heirloom—the jade pendant—so as not to put himself in danger.

“You didn’t receive any reward? Who are you trying to bluff?” Glaring at Matthew, Helen threatened, “Do you want to have it all to yourself? Matthew Larson, I’m telling you, you wouldn’t be able to cure Mr. Newman’s daughter at all without the drug manufactured by our Cunningham Group! All the glory was supposed to belong to our family and it shouldn’t have gone to you!”

Feeling helpless, Matthew emphasized, “I really received no reward but Mr. Newman did promise to do me a favor, and he helped me to prepare the birthday celebration tonight!”

“Say what?!” Helen nearly freaked out when she snapped, “You just let him prepare this birthday celebration for you without asking for a dime from him? Matthew, there must be something wrong with your mind!”

James too asked in his exasperation, “Matthew, do you have any idea what sort of man Mr. Newman is? He could easily reward you with two to three hundred million if you just ask for it! Did you just request for this birthday celebration?”
