Chapter 1666
After he retrieved his needles and medicine, Matthew turned around and looked at Freya. "Are you
sure you're going to let Crystal go once I treat your brother?" Freya stood in the darkness that masked
her expression, so Matthew could only see her nodding.
Matthew nodded his head and said, "Alright, 1 trust you, and I hope I won't regret it." He then reached
for his silver needles and began treating Raven, finding his injury similar to Elio's. Nevertheless, Elio
had to rely on his inner energy to resist Lord Voodoo's cursed bugs within him, or he wouldn't have
returned alive.
Furthermore, he was lucky enough to be treated by Matthew just in time as Matthew happened to be
somewhere nearby. Thus, if Raven's condition was the same as Elio's, his injury would have
aggravated even with Gregory by his side, for all he could do was to keep the former's injury from
worsening. While Matthew believed Gregory was capable of treating Raven's condition, he reckoned it
would take him a long time for him to do that.
However, the scenario was different with Matthew's involvement. In less than ten minutes, he kept all
the silver needles he'd taken out from Raven just as the latter felt better and sat up straight.
When Freya saw that, her eyes lit up with happiness. However, when she turned her attention to
Matthew, her gaze was filled with a strong murderous intent; she knew that he would definitely be able
to cure Wilfred from his illness. Therefore, she had no choice but to kill Matthew.
After he kept his needles, Matthew looked at Freya and said, "Now, please release my friend."
However, she ignored him and looked at Raven instead. The next second, Raven stood up and tried
taking a few steps to try his luck, whereupon he laughed out loud and complimented Matthew, saying,
"It seems that you really live up to your reputation, Dr. Larson. With you around, I bet Elio is probably
fine now, right?"
While Matthew nodded calmly, Raven looked up and laughed maniacally. "Good. If that fella dies, there
will be no one else left to play with me. I'm fine now, Zina. Let that girl go."
Freya nodded. Just when she was about to do as Raven said, Gregory leaned closer to her and said,
"Miss Zina, you mustn't let that lady go. I need her to threaten Matthew so that he'd tell us the Larson
Family's secret. If she is gone, he may not give in so easily."
Damn you, Gregory! You're such a cunning bastard! Matthew's face changed at the thought of that. As
he was about to say something more, Frey a snapped at him in frustration, "I will not break a promise
I've made. I said I'd let Crystal go after he treats my brother. Are you telling me to go back on my
words?"
"I understand what you mean, Miss Zina," Gregory awkwardly explained himself. "However, I'm just
saying that we should play safe by keeping her with us until Matthew tells us everything we need to
know. By then, it's still not too late for you to honor your word and let her go."
Freya then gave him an evil eye and indifferently bellowed at him, "Get lost!"
Soon, Frey a made a call to her people and ordered them to release Crystal. "Hold on, I'll get my friend
to collect her." Matthew then added, "Considering what just happened here in Stonedale, I'm worried
for her safety." Content of Draмąոovels.com
