Chapter 837 The Arrogant Department Director
Ever since Matthew discovered about the centipedes in the lake of Lakeside Garden and the curse on Leanne's
best friend, he had already begun to suspect those from Orleans were to blfor the cascade of catastrophic
chaos. While they were scattered everywhere, he believed that they were after someone whom he reckoned was
none other than Jinny. Nonetheless, he had no idea why they were looking for her and was hence prompted to
find out more about it. As a result, he asked Jinny to stay put in Lakeside Garden, which he deemed was the
safest place for her.
Meanwhile, Matthew and Crystal visited the first victim in their investigation of unusual medical cases at a
nearby hospital. Since she had tagged along, he didn't face much trouble before he finally met the patient. The
said person was isolated in a separate ward and his entire body was swollen. Even his facial features had a
frightening aura since his swollen flesh was sandwiching it.

Soon, a department director, who looked like he was in his thirties, led them both to the ward. While he seemed
to be a young director with a promising future for his age, his arrogance was written all over his face. As his gaze
was on Crystal most of the time, he didn't bother to even glimpse at Matthew.
We've been running tests after tests on the patient but still failed to find out what's wrong. Every tthe clock
strikes two after midnight, he will show signs of pain and agony, yet none of our attempts to alleviate his pain
has appeared to work effectively thus far. Therefore, | have turned to my mentor, Frederick Morgan from
Mightwater, for help, but even he doesn't seem to have any clue about what happened By the way, have you
guys heard about him before?"
The man observed her expression while introducing his mentor to her. After all, he was a famous doctor in
Mightwater and he always took pride in being his apprentice.
As she sensed his egoistic intention to boast, Crystal pouted and replied, "You mean Dr. Morgan? Oh, | think | can
remember who he is. He cto my house to visit my grandpa two years ago. In fact, he swung by three times,
only to find my grandpa away each time."
Frederick's eyes widened in disbelief. "W-What kind of nonsense are you talking about, miss? My mentor is the
perfect example that everyone in the medical world is trying to emulate, and you're saying he visited your
grandpa? If he really cto Eastcliff, there would have been a dozen people or so wanting to visit him."
"Is that so?" Crystal chuckled sarcastically. "Please ask him whether he has the guts to make Joseph Harrison
visit him."
"Joseph Harrison? Who the..." He pursed his lips shortly before his expression changed. "Wait a second. Did you
just say Joseph Harrison? Are you talking about Mr. Harrison?"
"What do you think?" she asked.
The department director appeared to look stunned as he stared at her for a few moments before he carefully
asked, "A-Are you Mr. Harrison's granddaughter?"
"Why don't you tell me?" Crystal responded.

At that moment, the man recalled the dean's words over the phone as he was told to receive Matthew and
Crystal with hospitality. Our dean has never treated anyone so politely unless he is dealing with a bigshot.
When that thought cto the department director's mind, he connected the dots with her name, whereupon
his heart sank with fear. Oh my God! She must be Mr. Harrison's granddaughter. His face flushed in
embarrassment upon the shocking realization.
Although Frederick was famous, he was still outclassed by the likes of Joseph. Therefore, it shouldn't have come
as a surprise to the department director for Frederick to have visited Joseph. Thus, the department director was
immediately overwhelmed by his shfor boasting in front of Joseph's granddaughter. "I'm sorry, Miss
Harrisson. I-I didn't know you were Mr. Harrison's granddaughter. Please forgivefor my rudeness. If you need
anything, you're welcto letknow." The man quickly apologized and offered to help.
However, Crystal waved her hand in annoyance and replied, "Alright, you may excuse yourself. We're here to
treat the patient, not listen to your cock-and-bull stories."
The department director's cheeks flushed as he reluctantly walked away. Then, he stood by the door with a mad
expression. "You want to treat that patient? | want to see how you can treat him because if you can't, you're
going to be a disgrace to Mr. Harrison himself!"
