Chapter 1670

Matthew was startled at Tristan's reaction, thinking the latter had been unconscious all this while.

"How can I save you if you won't let me touch you? The bone-eating worm can't be stopped, and it’s a miracle that we've managed to contain it for this long. All of your bones will be devoured if we don't remove it from your body!"

Without heeding Tristan's resistance, Matthew grabbed onto his shirt and tore it away. Tristan's clothing was ripped apart, revealing the fair skin underneath. At that moment, Matthew was surprised to see a chest binder wrapped tightly around his chest. Even so, he could see the bulging on Tristan's chest.

Matthew was bewildered by what he saw. Young Master Cosby is actually a woman?'. He had always thought that Tristan was a man, which was why he ripped his shirt off without giving much thought to it in order to save his life. Little did he know that Tristan was a woman!

At that moment, Matthew understood why Tristan was so furious that she almost wanted to kill him before this when the former defeated her.

Matthew had his arms pressed against Tristan’s chest, and a woman would definitely be mad after being treated that way. It turned out that she had been dressed up as a man all along!

Tristan screamed while covering her chest. "Ah, you... Go away!"

After Matthew made sense of the situation, he felt embarrassed when he saw her expression. "I'm sorry, I-I didn't know."

"Go away! Don't touch me!" she exclaimed.

Matthew hesitated before walking toward Tristan. "I need to get the bone-eating worm out, or you'll die in no time! I'll close my eyes while removing it. I'm sorry." Right after, he disregarded her resistance and pressed her against the bed before shutting both eyes and removing the chest binder.

That moment, Tristan was blushing as she felt violated by Matthew's actions. However, when she saw that he had his eyes shut throughout the entire time, she felt a sense of security which she had never experienced since young. She felt safe and protected when she was around him. Finally, she stopped struggling and allowed him to treat her wound.

With his eyes closed, Matthew didn't touch her. Instead he glided a silver needle around her wound to detect the position of the bone-eating worm. Finally, he felt a movement made by the worm underneath her flesh. With great agility, he stabbed the silver needle in and lifted the tip of it. With that, the bone-

eating worm had been removed from her body. Matthew killed the worm with the needle and threw it into the bin.

As she covered herself up with the blanket, she said softly, "Dr. Larson, I'm... I'm done." Read at
