Master of Medicine The Saintly Healer

After staring for a while, Matthew thought that he could have intimate contact with Rachel after the bath. He quickly took off his clothes and reached out to test the water temperature.

Just then, he heard footsteps outside. Then, there was a bang. The bathroom door had been swung open.

Rachel rushed in. “Sorry, I just need to grab my clothes…” Content © NôvelDrama.Org 2024.

Нег eyes widened in surprise when she saw that Matthew was already undressed. “Why did you take off your clothes so quickly?”

Realizing her mistake, she hastily grabbed her clothes and fled the bathroom in embarrassment.

Matthew felt a little disappointed. He seemed to have missed an opportunity, but he shrugged it off. He knew he would see her again soon.

After a quick bath, he stepped out, only to realize there were several bedrooms on the second floor.

Unsure which one was Rachel’s, he went from room to room and listened at each door until he heard movement in one. He pushed the door open and found Rachel brushing her hair. Upon seeing him, she blushed, recalling the incident

carlier.

Matthew noticed the awkward atmosphere and tried to break the ice, but he didn’t know what to say.

He spotted an unusually large bed. He couldn’t help but comment, “Wow, it’s huge!”

Rachel’s blush deepened. She snapped. “You… don’t go too far.”

Matthew was a little puzzled. “I just said the bed is huge. How is that Inappropriate? It really is a big bed.”

Realizing her misunderstanding, Rachel said, “Oh, you were talking about the bed. I thought you were talking about…”

Halfway through, she realized something wrong. She snorted.

Was

Catching on, Matthew teased her. “Oh, so you thought… but you’re not wrong either. Both are quite large!”

“You!”

Rachel glared at him. “You… you’re too much! You pervert!”

Matthew shrugged and didn’t care. “You saw me already. I didn’t say anything. Why are you so upset? Besides, we’re going to share a bed soon. It’s not that big of a deal.”

Rachel’s eyes flashed with anger. “Who said we’re sleeping together? We’ll sleep in the same room but on separate

beds.”

Before she had come to Khoitwood, Fred had instructed her to solidify her relationship with Matthew. This was the most intimate arrangement she could think of.

After tonight, the household staff would definitely spread the word that she and Matthew had shared a room. It would make everyone, including her family, believe the engagement was set in stone.

“Huh? Separate beds?” Matthew felt disappointed. “Then, 1 might as well sleep in a separate room!”

He hadn’t touched a single woman for the past three years, and now this opportunity was wasted. It was torture.

Rachel shook her head. “No, you have to sleep in this room. Even if we’re acting, we need to put on a convincing show.” In fact, her opinion of Matthew had changed a lot, but not to the point where she would agree to sleep in the same bed with him.

Plus, she had a deep–seated fear of sleeping with a man. She felt that doing so the

Matthew looked at Rachel’s figure. It was barely concealed by her loose sleepwear. He felt his mouth go dry.

Neither he could leave this room nor touch her. How could he endure such torture?

Suddenly, he remembered something.

“If I’m not leaving, we should sleep together. In fact, I’m doing this for your benefit. You have menstrual pain, are often depressed, and suffer from insomnia.

“Tiny little things upset you for a long time, and that’s why you always have a cold expression. One night of sleeping together could cure your condition. Just one night.”

Rachel’s face turned bright red. Her breathing became rapid. “You’re talking nonsense!”

She remembered he had used this excuse last time, but she had ignored him. Now he was trying it again. She realized that Matthew was just lusting after her body.

He was using medical treatment as an excuse to satisfy his desires! His behavior tarnished all doctors‘ reputations and ruined their profession’s sanctity.
