Chapter 140


    ke''s POV


    After coaxing, the boy finally relented and decided to give me more information.


    As the teenage boy warily stood in front of me in a small alley of the deste town, | listened to his exnations trying to find a


    trace of Chloe in his words.


    “That mysterious doctor, can you describe her to me?” | looked at him as | pulled out a piece of pencil and paper.


    He described the mysterious doctor’s features and | tried to draw her countenance ording to his words.


    However, after asking him again and again, the image that was made was someone whom | do not even recognize.


    Awave of disappointment came upon me as | felt that the doctor whom the boy was pertaining to was not even Chloe at all...


    However, the aura | was feeling was bing slightly stronger the more | stayed here in town.


    ‘Is ita dead end?’ | questioned myself as | looked at the pitiful boy in front of me.


    Seeing my gaze, the boy continued giving me information, “T-the doctores down to town every now and then...”


    “Based on her past visits, she would always go before the day of the full moon then to a certain ce where she stays for a few


    days until she heals the ill...” He added. “That’s where | wanted to originally go... w-when | followed you, Mister...”


    At this point, | was already half convinced that the person he was pertaining to wasn’t Chloe, but since | have already promised


    that | would help him, | continued and asked,


    “If the mysterious doctor you are pertaining to ising to town, why do you need to follow that doctor to that ce?” | asked as


    | realized that the boy was pointing in a direction to the forest.


    The boy paused and looked at me with a dejected manner. “W-well... the townspeople would not allow us toe with them to


    see the doctor... that is why | am desperate like this...”


    “l-i could only wait for her there and pray that she would grant my request...” He added. “I can bring you there... that is where


    she usually heads to when she finishes tending to the townspeople...”


    | nced at the young boy and observed, from his words and actions it seems like they were somehow unable to go around


    town freely.


    Judging from how he clumsily followed me a while ago, his situation might have been connected to the kind of illness his mother


    had.


    “Alright, take me there. But we cannot stay there too long... You said that your mother is not in a good condition right? It is not


    good that you leave her alone for long...” | dered.


    The boy looked at me in astonishment and relief. He did not dy any further and guided me to the ce.


    In any case, even if this mysterious doctor might not be Chloe... it may give me some clues regarding the mysterious pack that


    appeared in this region.


    Moreover, if the doctor did not even get to the ce where we would go, | was already nning for Arthur or Astor toe and


    check the boy’s mother.


    Two of us went out of the town and threaded in the woods.


    Thick mud started to hug our feet and slow us down, however we did not even pause for once.


    The forest was wet and dense, the deepest greens kept hugging us tighter and tighter the more we went further in it.


    We have walked for so long and still the ce the boy was pertaining to could not be found even yet...


    However the teenage boy did not even waver and begged for a break no matter how treacherous the terrain was.


    Looking at his struggling body, there is a painful tug in my heart as | remembered my poor unborn child.


    ‘If he or she is alive... Will he or she be able to grow like this?”


    ‘If that is so...1 would do my best to not let suffering fall like this...’


    | thought as the sorrow that was buried deep was unintentionally unearthed with this encounter.


    In the end, my body instinctively reached out to him to make him stop.


    “Let''s take a break for a while... the terrain is not easy to thread so we need to have enough energy to go further and back...” |


    told him as | reached out in my backpack and gave the teenage boy a portion of my dry ration and water.


    “T-thank you, mister!”


    After taking a quick break, we gathered ourselves and continued.


    After an hour of trekking, we stopped at a small cabin standing in a small clearing to which the sunlight freelyes and goes.


    “This is where the doctor stays!” The teenage boy ran toward the fence of the log cabin with an excited smile.


    | did not stop him, but instead scanned for any presence in the ce.


    Unfortunately, there were no people inside.


    “There is no one in there...” | told him silently.


    “Mister... can’t we wait for the doctor here? | beg you... she mighte to this ce today...”


    | looked at the surroundings that were void of any presence other than us and sighed. “Very well... we wait until the sunes


    down.”


    Feeling relieved, the boy’s eyes glimmered with home as he stood by the fence of the cabin and waited patiently.


    Hours came and the sky slowly turned dark orange, yet there was not even a presence of small animals that came near our


    ce.


    “The sun is going down... young boy, we have to go...” | reminded him.


    “Mister... please believe me, the


    doctor mighte here Loe Maia


    maybe th re''sjysd WErhany patients


    MwA eal.” As soon as he


    heard my reminder, the boy panicked


    and started to beg. Please read the

    “M-mister... please, can’t we just wait for a few more hours?” The teenage boy begged once more.


    He went toward me and begged as if | was holding the fate of his mother at the moment.


    Seeing his determination, | could not help but sigh and nod, “Not until midnight...” | added.Text content ? N?velDrama.Org.


    With that we waited in the early of the night, but unfortunately nobody showed up.


    | saw the teenage boy squatting on the ground in wait, with his body trembling in helplessness and dejection.

    The boy, teary-eyed, looked at me with unwillingness and anxiousness but still nodded and followed.


    But just as we are about to head back to the direction of the town, | felt a presenceing toward us.


    “Who''s there!” In an instant my voice rang and as the sudden approach of the aura stopped us from our tracks.
