Novel & Cerita Matthews Medical Books

His expression hardened, “They weren’t after you.” My pulse pounded, then who were they after? Or what? Later that afternoon, I left the medical suite despite the nurse protest. I needed answers, and sitting in bed wasn’t getting me any. Matthew home felt like a fortress, every hallway was quiet, every corner monitored and every door was protected. Nobody spoke unless necessary and nobody wandered aimlessly, everything felt organized. Eventually, I found myself inside a library, shelves stretched from floor to ceiling. There were thousands of books on the shelves.

Patuloy kong sambit. "Okay po." Ani Matthew na nagmadali ng pumanhik. "Margaret, can we talk?" "Uhm...yes sir." "Ano pa'ng ibang sinabi ng doctor kanina?" "Huh? Okay na daw po si Matthew. Wala na daw po tayong dapat na ipag-alala basta raw po araw-araw na ipainom sa kanya ang mga niresetang gamot." "Nasaan ang reseta?" Kaagad niya naman itong kinuha sa kanyang pouch.

Minus Frederick, of course. "Give me your hand. Let me treat it if you don't want to have an early morning incident," he snapped. What I realized was that Matthias hadn't come empty-handed. His pockets were filled with some medical drugs used as first aid for wounds. However, my surprise was more focused on his reason for bringing them. I mean, since when did Matthias care about me? "Don't move too much. I need to make sure this medicine cleans your wound before I put a bandage on it," he said referring to my body which was in an uncomfortable position in front of him.

Cobalt gestured her hand at the library section as she was already walking toward it. Matthew followed her. There were three shelves that had two sides and were filled with books regarding various topics, or at least one shelf was. That shelf had books regarding magic, medicine, religion, biology, chemistry, and other medical topics. While the other two shelves were filled with novels, comics, and such. “Do you read entertainment books? I’ve heard that people from your realm like them very much.” “I used to, but I haven’t ever since the incident a year ago. There were so many of them that it’s hard to find a new and fresh plot.” Matthew answered while looking at the titles on books’ spine. T

“Sorry to say, but running for my life kicked my ass. I passed out on the couch.” I frowned, pulling the book across the counter to me as Matt kept pulling stuff out of the cabinets. “A bookstore?” He hummed. I skimmed the cover. “Potion Efficacy for the Everday…” He hummed. As I flipped through the pages, I realized that it was more of a potions textbook than a recipe book, though a lot of the dishes were ones that Matt had made. The beef stew from the night before was inside. I scanned the pages, noting Matt’s handwriting in the margins and all the sticky notes that had been added. My lips twitched. Hadn't he brought home books from college like this?

“Though I must admit, I expected you to have read the family rules by now. I thought Mathew delivered them to you days ago?” I frowned. “Family rules?” Her brow lifted, elegant and amused. “The West Family Code and Compendium. Surely you’ve seen it? Leather-bound, gold trim, embossed crest?” My stomach dropped. Oh. That massive brown book sitting on my dresser. Indeed, Mathew had brought it four days ago, but I couldn't read it because of how stressed out I was — from finding my daughter to meeting Detroit ‘on his death bed’, to getting dragged into a wedding I didn't plan for.
