Married a Secret Billionaire
Chapter 376

"Yes." Zephyr's expression was grim with a light frown. "I didn't tell Cordelia about this, so I hope you keep it under the radar as well..."

"What is it?"

"My leg injury... It's starting to hurt recently."

Seth was alarmed and wanted to take him for a proper checkup.

"That's unnecessary." Zephyr patted his shoulder. "It's just an old injury. It didn't come back in the past, but recently, the pain's quite bad once the temperature drops.

"I remember that you gave me a type of medicine before. Half of it is to be ingested, and half of it is to be applied. It's very effective... I'm here today to get more of that from you."

Seth looked troubled and stammered for a good while without making any sense.

"What's the matter?"

Zephyr was bemused. Was it that difficult for a doctor to prescribe medicine?

Seth looked at him, licked his lips, and finally said, "Zephyr, actually, I... I don't know what kind of medicine it was."

"What!?" Zephyr was astonished. "But you administered the medicine to me back then!"

"I did. But someone gave it to me!"

Zephyr was only more confused.

Seth sighed and spilled the beans.

"Zephyr, think about it. I graduated from medical college, but it hadn't even been long since I was a doctor then. I hadn't even performed surgery independently. How could I possibly heal you?

"I really wanted to, but my ability was limited... You were injured everywhere, and your infected wounds pulled up a fever. You were in such a critical state that I thought you were a goner. I thought you would be the first patient who died in my hands in my career...

"While I was troubled, an old man gave me that medicine and said that it'd heal you, so I—"

"Old man?" Zephyr perked up.

Seth nodded. "The reason I haven't told you this before is that, one, I was sort of vain. No doctor is willing to admit that they can't treat someone.

"Two, it's... because the old man forbade me from telling you. He just gave me the medicine, told me the dosage and usage, and said nothing else, disallowing me from telling you too." Zephyr squinted, and doubts rose within him.

"The old man..." He had a strange feeling. "How old was he?"

"Like in his 70s, maybe," Seth said while recalling. "His hair was all white."

Zephyr snorted. How could he think of that man? He must be losing his mind!

Rowan was in his middle age and would be around 50 years old. How could he possibly be an old man with white hair?

Moreover, he was Matthew's accomplice!

Seth looked at him sincerely. "Zephyr, I'm really sorry, I... I don't have that medicine. And it didn't look like you'd get it in the market. There was a strange aroma when it opened, like... a herbal scent!" Zephyr furrowed his brows. He felt like he had entered a maze and could not find the exit.

Matthew had just gotten out of the hot spring in the private club at the bottom of Splendor Mountain and was lying on the recliner with a robe.

The expensive tea in front of him was steeped to a golden amber color that looked wonderful in the glass.

He sipped on it, admiring the beauty, and wore a satisfied smile.

Matthew looked to the side. "Mr. Irwin, this tea isn't available in Southeast Aciatic. Since you're here, you must have a taste!"

Rowan was indifferent. He took a glance but wore a blank face.

"Don't be so uptight, Mr. Irwin!" Matthew smiled with a squint and gestured for his underling to serve Rowan the tea. "I must play host seeing that you're here in Centrolis!

"You know what? Let's go have a meal after having tea. I'll take you around. We can go to "

"Matthew Hamerton." Rowan spoke up coldly. "I have serious matters coming to Centrolis this time. I don't have time for your nonsense. If you've called me here for nothing today, I'll be taking my leave!" "Hey, Mr. Irwin..."

Matthew was bemused. The guy was here to relax after spending too long in Southeast Aciatic, was he not? What serious matter could he have other than fun?

"Mr. Irwin, chill!" The lines around Matthew's eyes were visible from his grin. "We're partners no matter what! Heh, our collaboration's perfect in that plane crash incident!" "What did you say?"

Rage crackled in Rowan the moment he heard this, and he nearly flipped the table.
