Man With Super Medical Skill (Matthew) novel Chapter 2029

"Mr. Larson, I'm very sorry I can't help you, but please take this medical journal. I do hope it can help you on your journey."

What? I can't take that! Matthew might be close enough to Paintaker to give him a nickname, but he wouldn't take this medical journal the monk spent years on. The monk was talented enough to create a great almanac in the future if he had this journal. Matthew solemnly said, "Paintaker, you're my friend. Please, take the journal back. If you wish to help me, then perfect that journal and give me a copy if you will."

Paintaker froze for a moment, and he realized what Matthew was trying to say. "Of course, Mr. Larson. I didn't mean to insult you." He backed off and entered his room, looking embarrassed. Then, the monk came back with the Diamond Sutra.

Monks believed in three tenets: kindness, fate, and emptiness. Matthew shared the workings of the Reconstruction Pill with everyone in hopes that they could create anticancer medicine and save even more people. That was, to Paintaker, an act of kindness. Fate was the one who pushed them to meet each other in Bainbridge. The emptiness was harder to explain, but Matthew's act of not expecting anything in return for his teachings was an example of that. Everyone else gave him something because they had something to give, yet he had nothing to give, so he tried to give Matthew his journal. To give away something he did not have was an insult to his faith.

Matthew got the meaning behind the gesture, and he took the chance to clear things up with everyone. "I'm fine, people. My hara's all healed now. I haven't gained back all my power, but soon, I will."
