Chapter 967

Matthew was just an outsider. It wasn't his place to tell Carson and Rebecca how to get along.

Pierre couldn't stand it anymore and stepped forward. "He's a man, Rebecca. Don't make him kneel. That's wrong."

Rebecca spotted Pierre and screamed at the top of her lungs. "How dare you show your face again? I haven't gotten back at you about what happened this morning. I'm going to scratch your face off."

As she spoke, she tried to scratch Pierre's face. The latter was terrified as he quickly backed off and yelled, "Can you do something about your crazy wife, Carson?"

Carson glared at Pierre. "Don't call Rebecca crazy. She's gentle, and she's just joking with you. She won't actually hurt you."

Furious, Pierre gritted his teeth. "If I fell for that, I'd be a goner, Carson. Are you trying to ruin my life?"

Carson pointed at himself. "Just look at me. I've been with Rebecca for all these years, and my face is just fine. She's just messing with you."

Pierre shook his head. "Can't you see my injury? Rebecca did that when I came to your place."

Before Carson could say anything, Rebecca pointed at Pierre and snapped,

"Carson is in this situation because of you, Pierre. They say a man's worst fear is choosing the wrong career. You're the bad influence that got Carson into traditional medicine."

Pierre stepped back as he tried to argue his case. "I didn't lead him down the wrong path. Being a doctor is a respectable job.

"As a traditional medicine practitioner, he helps people get better, so he's well- respected. What's wrong with that?"

Rebecca looked at Pierre and spat on the ground, "Fuck off! What's all this talk about being respectable? Just look at yourself. As a traditional medicine practitioner, you're stuck in a hospital like a beggar.

"The townsfolk see you as a laughing stock. Are you seriously going to tell me that being a traditional medicine practitioner is respected?"

Pain flashed across Pierre's face. Rebecca's words were like a dagger to his heart.

Pierre was in a real mess for the last two years, but it was because he made some enemies. He figured he should clear things up.

"I'm struggling because I've stepped on the wrong toes. It has nothing to do with being a traditional medicine practitioner."

Rebecca coldly grunted. "Stop making excuses. It's all because of this profession. With the rent we get from our properties, we can just sit back and live a carefree life .net

"Carson is the perfect man—he's responsible, kind, cheerful, and masculine. The neighbors all like him.

"After he became a traditional medicine practitioner, his colleagues started making fun of him. They treated him like an oddball. He's never been happy since then.

"This is all your fault for leading Carson into the wrong path. What's left for you to argue about this?"

Pierre was at a loss for words. He couldn't deny that Rebecca made a good point.

Pierre and Carson had been struggling, while the other doctors he knew in modern medicine were doing great. He even started to doubt if he had made the right choice.

Carson kept his mouth zipped all the while, but he suddenly spoke up now. "Being a traditional medicine practitioner is the right path to

Carson's eyes beamed with resolve. "I'll listen to you about anything, Rebecca. But when it comes to my career, I can't agree with you.

"Traditional medicine isn't fading away. It's just that my skills aren't good enough. I need to work harder and learn more."

Rebecca glared at Carson. "Why are you so stubborn? They call Pierre a Monkey. If you hang around with him too much, you'll be just as bad.

"Listen to me, please. I don't want people to look down on you or think you're weird. I don't want to see you so unhappy."

Carson flashed a smile at Rebecca. "After I master traditional medicine, people won't laugh at me or think less of me. They might even look up to me."

Rebecca glared at Carson. "Stop joking around. We're talking about serious business now. This is about your future.

"You keep talking about mastering traditional medicine and things getting better, but

have you seen anyone really get there? Stop dreaming already."

Carson got up and gestured at Matthew. "I'm not delusional. He's an example who actually mastered traditional medicine."

Rebecca sized up Matthew. "How good is he?"
