Chapter 430

Matthew hurriedly helped Billy up. “Mr. Newman, you are being too courteous. All this time, you’ve
helped me so much. Besides, treating Miss Newman is something I should do.”

Even so, Billy was still emotional. “Brittany is my everything—she is more important than my life!
Therefore, saving her is more important than saving me. From today onward, I, Billy Newman, will put
everything I have at your disposal, Mr. Larson!”

If those words of his were heard by people from Eastshire, they would be shocked beyond belief. After
all, Billy Newman was somebody who nearly became the first king of Eastshire. If it wasn’t for the fact
that he was tied down by the shackles of love, he would have strongly suppressed all the greatest
families in the six southern provinces back then!

Even if he had remained in Eastcliff for many years without leaving the city, who in the whole of the six
southern provinces would dare to disrespect him?

Soon, the kitchen finished preparing the gruel. Meanwhile, Brittany changed her clothes and finished
two bowls of the gruel under the care of several servants.

Billy watched from the side with tears in his eyes. In the past, she could never finish that much food in an
entire day. Now, she was truly cured of her disease.

After that, Matthew prescribed a prescription for her and asked Joseph to make the medicine per the
prescription. It would act as a nutritional supplement for her. Although she was cured of her disease, she
had been ill for so long that her body was very weak and deficient in many aspects.

Therefore, more time was needed for her body to recover to the point she could function like a normal
person. Still, everything was much simpler now that her hemophilia had been cured.

Once everything was settled, Matthew left. Billy personally saw him out the door. Similarly, Brittany
rushed over with the support of two servants. She sincerely said, “Thank you for saving me, Matthew.”



However, he hurriedly waved her off. “It’s nothing, Miss Newman. It was the least I could do.”



After saying his goodbyes to the Newmans, Joseph sent Matthew back to the hospital. “By the way, I
have some information on the pill furnace you asked me to keep an eye out for, Mr. Larson. Nowadays,
stuff like that is extremely rare. Only a few were preserved from the past.

Moreover, most are treated like antiques now. So, not many people would sell them. However, I heard
that on the outskirts of the northern borders, there’s a place called Woodside. Somebody once brought a
pill furnace to sell there.”

Matthew immediately asked, “Woodside? What sort of place is that? Is it far?”

Joseph replied, “It’s not that far. It’s right on the boundaries of Eastshire. However, that place is where
the three provinces meet. So, there are all sorts of characters there. Due to the complexity of the people
living there, many items that cannot be brought out into the open would be sold there.

After a while, the scale of its development became very big. Nowadays it’s an infamous underground
black market. Moreover, the underground black market opens up once a month. If my calculations are
correct, we still have some time to prepare until the next opening day.”

Matthew nodded. “Good. When the black market opens, I will take a trip down there.”

Then, Joseph sent Matthew back to the hospital and apologized once again for the things Crystal had
done to him.

At first, he wanted to ask that Crystal be transferred to a different department, but he couldn’t say
anything after Joseph had said so much. Even though he was dissatisfied with Crystal, he still needed to
respect the old man.



Back at the hospital, Matthew noticed from afar that many hospital staff in white coats were pacing about
in the vicinity of his office. Moreover, they were all men. These people occasionally pretended to pass by
his office and sneakily tried to steal a glance inside.

They seemed to be searching for something. After that, they walked away in disappointment. Not long
after, another batch of people came over and did the same thing.

In response, Matthew felt rather speechless. These people were undoubtedly here for Crystal. Rumors of
her beauty had spread like wildfire within the hospital. Naturally, that attracted the attention of many. Still,
Matthew ignored these people and walked straight over.

Meanwhile, everybody’s eyes were filled with jealousy when they looked at Matthew. Besides, they could
not understand why such a beautiful woman had been assigned to his department.
