GoodNovelChapter 400
Even after various attempts, Matthew was not successful. It seemed like the several pots he had prepared
weren't suitable. As such, he felt somewhat resigned. Although he had all the required herbs, there was nothing
he could do as he had yet to find suitable tools to make the medicine.
He started recalling how his ancestors used to make medicine and remembered that there was a special
cauldron they used which could withstand extremely high temperatures. The cauldron was the best tool for
medicine making because the rate at which it was heated up could be regulated.
However, nobody had the skills to make such a cauldron now. In his opinion, that cauldron was a must if he
wanted to succeed but it would be an arduous task trying to get one!
After scontemplation, he called Mr. Harrison and asked him for a favor to keep tabs on any clues about the
cauldron. After all, Mr. Harrison had been a medical practitioner for decades and he had vast connections.

When he reached the hospital the next morning, he saw James and Helen standing outside his office door. No
one knew how long they had been waiting for him. The moment they spotted him, they immediately walked over
with mocking smiles.
"Matt, have you had your breakfast? Here you go; | bought you sporridge and buns on my way here. Why
didn't you cback hlast night?
You really shouldn't have stayed outside since the house is big enough for all of us," Helen said with a wide grin
on her face and none of her usual aggression.
Matthew knew them too well and was certain that they only behaved so amicably because they were thinking of
asking him for money. As expected, after making small talk, they started steering the conversation to the
medical conference again.
Helen smiled thinly and suggested, "Matthew, | really think you should pay Stanley a visit. Think about this-
shouldn't he be thankful because of the billions of profit that you got him? Forking out several hundred million is
nothing to him but it is a whole different thing for our family!
With the money, you can at least get Sasha and yourself a new house. Also, it's about tyou buy a new car; a
Porsche would be nice. It doesn't look good on you when you travel around in that motorbike— ooh, and you
should really get snew clothes as well!
In fact, James and | have been thinking of getting sbranded clothes for you but we simply can't afford it.
Though... with the several hundred million from Stanley, everything would be solved!"
Deep down, Matthew was amused by how nicely Helen put it. Are you sure you want to get a new house, new car
and new clothes for me? Con, | know you're the ones who want it. Are you sure that you guys have been
thinking of buyingnew clothes?
I've never even worn a pair of new socks throughout the three years | stayed with the both of you. You might not
have been able to afford new clothes but couldn't you afford even a new pair of socks? Of course, Matthew kept

out for lunch to discuss this with him."
Overjoyed, both James and Helen nodded vigorously. "Attaboy! | was right to say that Sasha made the best
choice in her life by marrying you. You're so much more reliable than Liam! Well, you ask Stanley ou for lunch
and we'll wait for you to tell us the good news then!"
While the two left the hospital smiling, resignation was written all over Matthew's face. This was their typical
behavior-when he was loaded, they would treat him as if he was the king; when he was broke, they would treat
him like rubbish that they couldn't wait to get rid of.
Matthew let out a sigh and decided to give Stanley a call. As per the discussion with Sasha last night, the two of
them had decided to fork out smoney to establish a company, which they would then tell James and Helen
that it was a reward from Stanley.
He reckoned James and Helen would not be able to make any fuss out of it because it was only a company and
not cash.
