The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 510

Stanley and Lillian still had the lights on.

With a creak, Matthew pushed the door open. Lillian heard the noise and snapped open her eyes. When she saw Matthew, she couldn't help but grumble, "Why did you come back so late?"

Matthew felt a pang of guilt. "It's really late. You shouldn't wait for me next time."

Lillian acted like she didn't hear Matthew and asked, "Have you eaten yet?"

Matthew chuckled and replied, "I've already eaten, Mom. Go rest now."

Lillian glanced at the clock on the wall. Seeing that it was already 1:30 a.m., she got to her feet. "At this hour, you're probably hungry even after eating. I'll whip up something for you."

After saying that, Lillian made her way into the kitchen.

Matthew's eyes welled up as he watched Lillian's back. Conversations with her always felt like they were talking past each other. He used to get annoyed, wondering why she never really listened to him.

During his time in prison, sometimes he'd wake up hungry in the middle of the night, thinking about the late-night snacks Lillian used to make. That was when he finally realized that was Lillian's way of caring for him.

In no time, Lillian had prepared a plate of ravioli and brought it over. "Eat up and go to bed soon. I'm off to bed now."

With that, Lillian turned and headed inside.

"Okay," Matthew responded. Sitting by himself under the light, he picked up the steaming plate of ravioli and savored it slowly. He finished the food but still craved more.

The following day, Matthew drove Lorraine to kindergarten. She pouted in the backseat. "You broke your promise, Dad. You didn't pick me up yesterday."

Matthew was about to explain that he had called Stanley and Lillian to pick her up, but Lorraine beat her to it.

Lorraine put on a forgiving look and said sweetly, "I know you must've forgotten, Dad. I forgive you, but don't forget to pick me up next time."
