Upon hearing Pierre's words, Matthew responded without hesitation, "Alright. I'll take you on as my apprentice."
Out of everyone Matthew had known, Pierre had the most heartfelt dedication to medicine, especially when it wasn't just about medical expertise.
Pierre couldn't stand how the hospital would raise prices by a ridiculous amount just by changing the medication's name. He also hated how the hospital focused on running more tests on patients just to make more profit.
What disgusted Pierre the most was the practice of charging patients expensive medicine that didn't cure their condition while it wasn't harmful to their health.
At first glance, the diaries seemed to be filled with his personal grudges, but it was actually all about a doctor's compassion and sticking to his principles.
Matthew felt lucky to have Pierre as his apprentice.
Meanwhile, Pierre didn't expect things to go so smoothly. He eagerly promised, "You can trust me, Mr. Grant. I'll work hard to learn medicine and won't let you down."
Matthew hurried over and helped Pierre to his feet. "Many people are watching us. Quickly get up."
Pierre glanced around, then said casually, "I've gotten used to this kind of stare."
Thinking back to how Pierre had no problem running his consultation in the hospital hallway, Matthew figured he wouldn't be bothered by it. "Let's leave this place first."
Matthew and Pierre started making their way out of the town. On the road, Matthew kept a blank expression behind the wheel, but he was actually quite excited.
Matthew had finally collected the medical literature and legacy items from the Eight Medical Sects. It was finally time to meet Nicholas, and he couldn't wait to ask Nicholas three questions.
Who exactly was Nicholas? What was so special about Juprus Ring and Juprus Blade? Now that Matthew had gathered all the medical books and items from the Eight Medical Sects, what would come next?
The car sped down the road, racing toward Lambda City.
Sitting in the car, Pierre was lost in thought about his time with Alyssa, feeling like there was a weight on his chest.
After thinking about Alyssa for a while, Pierre started thinking about all the things that had happened since graduating from college. After joining a hospital, he felt like he was stuck, as if he was sinking into quicksand.
Pierre couldn't even do the simplest part of being a doctor—treating and saving patients. Would he face this issue again in the future?
