The Great Medical Saint (Matthew) novel Chapter 841

Matthew hummed in reply and continued to read, saying, "Tony, it was from that moment that I knew—in this life, you're the only one who truly cares for me. You're also the only relative I have left in this entire world. I swore to listen to everything you asked of me once I got better.

"No matter what it was, I would listen and do as you said. Then, you found a job for me after I recovered, and I only learned later on that you had begged the boss to give me a job. You even told the boss that he could use your wages to pay me if I did a terrible job.

"I know you told the boss not to tell me all this, but I know now, Tony, and I'll remember it all my life.

"A few years after I officially started working, you began to study medicine and made arrangements for my marriage. I rejected the idea back then. How could I get married first when you're older than me?

"But you told me that you wouldn't be able to take charge of the family or help me out if you were to get married first. I remember how you kept insisting that I get married first, and the thought of it grew on me afterward.

"But I never expected my family situation to go downhill. We only managed to get by with your help in the end, and I never thought that it would delay your marriage plans.

"As time passed, your medical skills improved proficiently, but the potential marriage matches you were introduced to were all either divorced or widowed. There's no way you'd be interested in those women when you had such high standards.

"Now that I think about it, Tony, I really regret getting married first. Because of me, your marriage plans were delayed. You suffered so much alone later on, and it really pained me. I got even more distressed after seeing the trash can in your room, filled with wrinkled tissues that were yellowed…"

Matthew stopped after he read that line. He couldn't read on any further and awkwardly raised his head to look at Tony.

Tony was coughing non-stop. He was caught up in hesitation before he said, "I… I had a cold back then, and I used up all those tissues to blow my nose, so don't misunderstand me. Jay had an imagination, and he always thought too much."
