Chapter 431
Not long after Matthew sat down, he heard a familiar voice coming from outside the door. "Matthew works here?"
Thus, he hurriedly stood up and opened the door. Then, he saw that Ellie and Crystal were walking over together.
Crystal tugged at Ellie's hand and smilingly said, "Isn't that Matthew?"
Looking at Matthew, Ellie blushed furiously, lowering her head as she greeted him, "Hi, Matthew."
On the other hand, Matthew was feeling curious. "Ellie, why are you here? How is Mrs. John doing? Is she in
better condition?"
Crystal is such a nice person. Also, Dr. Ellis has been treating my mom, and Mom seems to be completely healed.
She will be discharged from the hospital in a few days. Mom is still considering, but she plans to invite you over
for dinner."
In response, Matthew immediately replied with a smile. "Of course, I'll go! It's been such a long tsince | ate
Mrs. John's cooking." When he had been neighbors with Ellie in the past, he often went over to her house for free

Ellie said, "Matthew, I-I actually chere to apologize to you... If it wasn't for you, I-I-" As she spoke, her eyes
reddened. Previously, she had sneaked into the medical exchange conference and nearly caused a huge ruckus.
Crystal looked awkward as she said, "To be honest, that was my fault, Ellie. Don't worry; I've learned from my
mistakes after what happened! | will never make the smistakes again!"
Her words were meant for Matthew. Even so, he didn't react-he didn't care about her situation at all.
Unfortunately, his lack of reaction made her feel a little sad.
After chatting for a while, Matthew went to the wards upstairs to visit Ellie's mother. It so happened that Mr. John
was there too. He was extremely grateful toward Matthew and thanked him profusely. They chatted for a short
while, then Matthew took his leave. As he passed by the director's office, he heard a raging voice coming from
inside. "Sir, why should that new nurse be assigned to the department of that piece of trash, Matthew?! The
Department of Chinese Medicine doesn't even have a single patient!
As a director, he is redundant. So, why was a nurse assigned to him?! In my opinion, he should be cleaning the
toilets! What right does he have to be the director of a department?!"
Matthew frowned. He could tell that the voice belonged to Tristan Fields, an attending physician in the hospital.
Rumor had it that Tristan cfrom a family with a large network. For that reason, he tended to throw his weight
around and act rather unreasonably within the hospital.
Still, Matthew had not had much contact with him before. So, there shouldn't have been any conflicts between
the two. Therefore, it was surprising that Tristan was going about slandering Matthew behind his back.
"Tristan, you don't understand much about Matthew's situation. Besides, these matters are arranged by the
hospital. So, you shouldn't poke your nose into it so much!" the director replied earnestly. Tristan immediately
snarled, "Director, | couldn't care less about all that! | chere to say one thing. Our department is sorely in
need of nurses. You should transfer Crystal Harrison over to our department!" Upon hearing that, Matthew finally
understood the situation. Tristan had nothing against him. Rather, he was aiming for Crystal. Hence, Matthew
couldn't be bothered about that. You can cause all the trouble you want, Tristan. If you manage to get Crystal
transferred out, that's even better.
| can't drive her away because of my relationship with Joseph-I need to be considerate of his feelings. But, if you
get her out of my hair, won't that make my life easier?

When he returned to the office, Crystal was busy wiping down his table.
"Miss Harrison, you don't need to do that. | can do something as simple as that myself," he said.
She smiled sweetly. "Don't mind me, Matthew. | chere to be a nurse. So, | should be starting from the basics.
Besides, | should be the one doing these kinds of things. Why don't you take a break? I'll make you stea in a
bit."
He was surprised. Did Crystal really change? Still, he couldn't be bothered to say anything, Thus, he casually sat
by a chair nearby and read the newspaper.
All of a sudden, the door opened, and a six-foot male doctor walked in. Matthew recognized him-it was Steven
Newton. Steven cfrom a powerful family and was very handsto boot.
He was also famously known as the prince charming of the hospital. Without even bothering to glance at
Matthew, he directly went up to Crystal and smilingly said, "Miss Harrison, it's your first day at work. It must be
tiring, right? | bought two cups of milk tea. Shall we have tea together?"
