Chapter 121

“Gasp—I just heard that the doctor had already gone to the village on the other side yesterday……”

“What?”

Waaaaah! The child’s wailing had eventually gotten even louder. Vivian tried soothing her, but her cries didn’t stop at all.

“Are there no other doctors then?”

“That’s……since this village is very small, having one doctor is already more than enough to be thankful for. That’s why the doctor has been kept busy due to all those villages that persist in calling for him.”

“Ez, please!”

Vivian then desperately clutched onto his arm. Although she was aware that he wouldn’t be the solution, Vivian was still tugging on his arm while pleading, as if she was already breaking down.

“And so—there’s no other doctor at all? I’d be fine even if they are just someone who could at least have known something about medicine.”

“Please wait. U-uh, about that……”

The wheels in Ez’s head were moving rapidly, resulting in his troubled expression. At that moment, the man garbed in robes suddenly grabbed a hold of Vivian’s arm.

“There’s a doctor whom I’m acquainted with.”

“Sorry? Is that true, sir?”

Vivian had forgotten the fact that he was a customer and quickly pleaded.

“I’m begging you, sir. Please introduce me to that doctor. My child is really ill!”

The robed man then grabbed Vivian’s arm before guiding her. Vivian instantly followed his quick strides as if she was running herself.

Not long after that, he suddenly stopped in front of a mansion. In that split second, Vivian became flustered at the sight of the huge mansion as compared to that of the villagers’ houses, but as soon as the robed man had entered, she quickly followed suit.

“Cedric! Cedric!”

The enrobed man shouted out a name. Cedric? It was a name that she often heard of somewhere.

Come to think of it, the man’s voice had changed as well. His voice became somewhat familiar that she began to wonder if he had usually altered it in a lower tone on purpose. It was just like a voice she had perceived from somewhere else, which she had long erased from her memories.

“Is something wrong, sir?”

The moment she faced Cedric, Vivian’s face stiffened up at once. He was the doctor whom she had already known about too well in this world.

It is him.

There had been no doubt at all that it was him. His eyes were clearly looking at Vivian, evidently gazing at her shocked expression as well as the child in her arms.

Cedric sighed as he scratched the back of his head.

“Have you brought me another sick person? I’ve said it before, haven’t I? I’m not a philanthropist.”

“It’s not like that. I want you to take a look at this child.”

“I’m very expensive, though.”

“Cedric.”

The voice of the man in the robe growled. Cedric, who understood the meaning of that voice, began to raise both of his hands—indicating the fact that he gave in.

“I got it—I got it, sir. Come over here.”

The physician revealed an amiable smile as he let Vivian inside. Just as if it was his very first time seeing herself and her child.

Vivian sealed her mouth shut. She was only looking nervously towards her child whenever the inspecting touch loomed over, but she didn’t even utter a single word at all.

“This is just a simple sunstroke. I’m sure she’ll get better soon if you just keep her away from direct sunlight and give her plenty of water often.”

“A sunstroke…?”

She seemed rather confused when she had finally parted open her own mouth. A sunstroke? It was such an unfamiliar term for her who had always worked under the scorching sun.

“Yes. A child’s skin is undoubtedly weaker than adults. They also have poor control over temperature. Especially since the weather in this region is much stronger than any other regions, so it’d be bad for the child to experience it directly for a long time.”

She immediately recalled what happened that day after the physician’s words. It was when her lovely child had been trying to catch the ray of sunlight and she left the window open since she was happy with the look on her child. Vivian couldn’t say anything as she thought back on her child’s sorrow before hugging her tightly.

No matter how hard she had tried, she was still a beginner at childcare. Although she strove to manage both her livelihood and childcare, her body was only made of one. As she turned her eyes on the job, she had to avert her eyes away from her innocent child.

She thought that if it happened to someone else’s child, she might have realized if they were sick sooner—perhaps. That thought was weighing heavily on Vivian’s shoulders.

She only spoke a little before she had received the prescribed medicine while her mouth was still shut tightly until she finally left the mansion. She ignored his offer to escort her back since the night was already so dark and quickly walked away.
