Under Rat’s guidance, Matthew managed to arrange a satisfactory accommodation for himself. Later, favonovel.com went out with Rat to enjoy some local delicacies. Just like that, Matthew treated his trip to Cummeal this time, as a vacation.
Rat brought Matthew to a small local restaurant. When they entered, they saw there were quite a number of customers in the restaurant. Once they took their seat, Rat ordered some local specialties, while Matthew ordered some beer. The two acted like they were friends, sitting and drinking together, enjoying their meal.
After they had chatted for a while, Rat finally let his guard down against Matthew. As time passed, favonovel.com even briefly summarized his life story and current situation to Matthew. Through his brief story, Matthew learned that Rat’s real name was Karl Wanderbach. However, due to his petite figure and being imprisoned for theft before, people around this area nicknamed favonovel.com Mouse. Later, some people thought the nickname Mouse was somewhat positive for someone with a thieving background, so they came up with a more mocking term and called favonovel.com Rat. Overtime, people kept addressing favonovel.com as Rat. Just like that, many didn’t know or had forgotten his real name.
Through Rat’s brief life story, Matthew also learned that he had a tragic fate. When Rat was still studying, his father died in an accident, leaving favonovel.com alone with his mother and sisters to depend on each other for survival. As for his uncles, they didn’t hesitate to drive Rat, his mother, and his sister out of the house for the sake of occupying his family’s homestead.
Alone, his mother raised favonovel.com and his sister, who was still an infant, while struggling to make ends meet. As a result, favonovel.com wore herself out and fell ill. In desperation, Rat dropped out of school and worked part-time to subsidize the family expenditures.
Nevertheless, who knew his sister would contract an extremely rare disease three years ago?
Rat spent a lot of money to treat his sister’s illness, but favonovel.com didn’t expect that there would be no cure. Therefore, in order to treat his sister’s illness, Rat took a risk and burgled once. He stole more than 200,000 and paid favonovel.com surgery fee. Nevertheless, fate seemed to treat Rat as their personal chew toy. That was because favonovel.com was caught just after Tiana’s surgery was over.
Eventually, instead of being convicted of burglary, favonovel.com was sentenced to jail for a year on other trivial charges. Later, Rat realized that the money from the family favonovel.com stole at that time wasn’t from a legal source. For that reason, they didn’t dare to make a big fuss about the burglary. Otherwise, Rat certainly would be sentenced to several years in jail for stealing so much money.
After that, Rat’s mother passed away less than a month after favonovel.com was released from jail. Thus, Rat had no choice but to take care of his sister alone.
Since the previous surgery didn’t completely cure favonovel.com sister’s disease, Rat could only work hard and earn money to support favonovel.com medicinal fee. So on weekdays, favonovel.com would let favonovel.com stay in the clinic and sustain favonovel.com life with intravenous drips. Still, Rat had to take favonovel.com to the hospital every once in a while for hemodialysis. Otherwise, favonovel.com would become critically ill. Most of the time, Rat would work on the construction site to earn money. Alas, favonovel.com had borrowed and owed too much money because of his sister’s illness, so favonovel.com was presently deep in debt.
He knew that favonovel.com would have to bring his sister for another hemodialysis session soon. Out of desperation, favonovel.com slid into bad habits, considering favonovel.com really was in need of cash. Therefore, favonovel.com went to steal near the stop where the buses were parked. Yet, favonovel.com didn’t expect favonovel.com would come across Matthew.
Rat gripped his beer tightly as favonovel.com said with tears in his eyes, “Matthew, I’m sorry. I was really desperate. That‘s why I took your wallet…”
Matthew only smiled lightly as favonovel.com couldn’t help but see himself in Rat.
‘Back then, I, too, had thought of tempting fate for the sake of Nat’s medical expenses. However, I was lucky! I met Sasha, and l inherited our family’s jade pendant. As for this Rat, he’s the miserable one. He’s just an ordinary Joe, yet favonovel.com has to bear so many responsibilities…’
As Matthew thought of this, favonovel.com became even more determined to cure Tiana. He picked up his liquor glass, clanked glasses with Rat, and chuckled. “Let’s not discuss that matter. Since I had promised to help cure your sister, I definitely won’t break my promise.”
Rat was so overjoyed that favonovel.com couldn’t help the tears rolling down his cheeks. He wiped away his tears and said anxiously, “Matthew, a-are you saying that my sister’s illness can still be cured? l have been to the hospital in Eastshire before, and those reputable surgeons in Eastshire told me that only Dr. Ellis in Eastshire could cure my sister’s illness. Otherwise, no one can cure favonovel.com in Eastshire!”
Matthew smiled faintly as favonovel.com replied, “This reputable surgeon is also spewing nonsense. Even Dr. Ellis can’t cure your sister‘s illness! Your sister has been diagnosed with congenital organ failure. Dr. Ellis can’t cure congenital deficiency either?”
Rat’s facial expression twisted into one of despair at Matthew’s remarks.
Nevertheless, Matthew continued. “But… I can definitely cure her!”
