The Great Medical Saint novel Chapter 299

If money could have changed Silas' mind, he wouldn't have preferred being a wanderer to compromising.

"I'm not going," he insisted. "I should have told you this as soon as you walked in. I'm sorry for wasting your time."

Joel looked at Silas calmly, with no sign of irritation. "I'm curious. Why are you refusing?" he asked.

Silas smiled and said, "I just want to be a doctor, a real doctor."

As he spoke, he sat up straight, his voice firm and full of conviction. This was his greatest aspiration, and he took immense pride in it.

Joel's eyes reflected admiration as he said, "You're the only true doctor I've ever met."

With that, Joel stood up and walked out.

Silas waved his hand. As Joel left, Silas said, "It turned out to be nothing. He was just here to inquire."

Matthew's expression grew serious. He sensed Joel's admiration for Silas, but Joel's abrupt departure made him uneasy. It didn't seem that simple.

Joel got into his car and started it up. He slowly drove away, with the other cars following behind.

Silas felt a huge weight lift off his shoulders and stretched with relief. "Maybe today is my lucky day," he said. "The problem was resolved so easily."

A patient passing by saw that the clinic was open and walked in. As more patients arrived, Silas got busy and quickly forgot about the earlier incident.

Matthew, however, remained concerned. Even by the end of the day, no one had come by, and his unease only grew.

Silas was in good spirits and said, "Today has been the smoothest day I've had since I opened the clinic."

Matthew couldn't help but smile wryly, feeling like Silas' personal assistant. He handled the driving and picked up meals, while Silas focused solely on practicing medicine.

While driving Silas away from the clinic, Matthew said, "You should stay at Opulent Club tonight."

Silas smiled and replied, "Sure, I like that place. There's food, drinks, beautiful women, and a particularly eloquent old man."
