Upon seeing this, everyone had shock written all over their face. At the same time, they stared at
Matthew with admiration and respect.
This was a real big shot who kept a low profile unlike Dennis, who had bossed everyone around the
moment he came in. It was as if he wanted everyone to remember him. Comparing the two, everyone
had more respect for Matthew.
As for Ed’s parents, they were over the moon. As a matter of fact, Matthew and Julian were Ed’s closest
friends.
Many years ago, Matthew’s family used to be poor while Ed’s parents did fairly well when they were still
working at the factory. During those trying times, Matthew always came over for dinner.
In fact, Ed’s parents were down-to-earth. Whenever Matthew came to visit, they would always prepare
hearty meals for him, and they treated him like their own son. Now that they knew Matthew was
successful, they were genuinely happy for him.
At this moment, Ed’s mother had brought over the teapot. She was about to pour some tea for them
before Matthew swiftly took the teapot. “Mrs. Martinez, you’re not feeling well so please rest. I’ll do the
work.”
“No, no. You’re our guest today. This is a big event for my family and it’s my job to be a host. This is for
you, Mr. Garrison. Have some tea,” she said with a big smile.
Upon seeing Matthew’s respectful attitude toward Ed’s mother, Dominic did not dare to accept the cup of
tea. Instead, he quickly stood up and helped pour the tea as he grinned. “Mrs. Martinez, please rest. This
is such a small matter so don’t worry. Ed, help your parents to their seats.”
At once, Ed’s father quickly said, “It’s alright, Mr. Garrison. We still have to decorate for the wedding.
Please, make yourselves at home.”
Dominic waved. “At this age, you really shouldn’t be moving around so much. Please, have a seat. I’ll
have my son bring some men over and you can leave everything to us.”
Immediately, Dominic made a phone call to his son, Alex Garrison.
Not long after, Alex brought over a group of men and they all started setting up the place.
Meanwhile, Dennis was at a loss as he stood at the side. As a matter of fact, Alex was someone who
was more powerful than Tucker and Dennis was nobody to him. Not only that, he was also no match for
any one of the men that Alex had brought over.
Now, it did not seem appropriate for him to just stand around while Mr. Garrison’s son and the group of
men were busy making preparations for the bridal room.
Flustered, Dennis stammered, “Ed, h-help your mom to her seat. Don’t worry about the work outside as
I’ll settle it.”
As soon as he said this, he hurriedly went out of the house to help.
At once, Ed’s parents looked at each other in shock. Before this, Dennis always bummed around, yet he
was volunteering to help now. What a rare occurrence.
Seeing this, Matthew was delighted.
Ushering Ed’s parents to their seats, he chuckled, “Mrs. Martinez, Ed and I spoke about you during
dinner last night. It just so happens that my medical skills are on par. Would you like me to do a
checkup?”
Hearing this, Dominic was full of envy. “Oh, Mrs. Martinez! Do you know how lucky you are to be in this
position? With Director Larson’s medical skills, your illness will be cured.”
Sitting before Matthew, Ed’s mother timidly uttered, “Matthew, I’m afraid you won’t be able to cure my
illness. Not only do I have a heart disease and diabetes, but I have other complications too. Also, we
found out I had cerebral haemorrhage.
The doctor said that this cannot be cured, and the only thing we can do is to control it. Oh, Matthew, if it
wasn’t for Ed, I would’ve chosen death. Right now, I’m alive but I am only burdening my family!” She
started to weep.
