“All right, thank you. I’lle over once I’m finished with my tasks here,” said Josiah. He never intended to <b>stay </b>at the health center indefinitely, causing trouble for Lysander. Unable to resist ine’s warm invitation, he could only ept.
ine then asked warmly, “Don’t hesitate to ask if you need any something. What tasks do you have left?”
Josiah, nning to stay a few more days, naturally had to be honest. “The medicine previously moved to the health center is all at the front. I haven’t had time to sort it out and ce it in the pharmacy, I n to organize it with Dr. Thorne<b>.</b>”
He knew Lysander all too well, aware that she would never be at case just leaving the medicine piled up as
<b>It </b><b>was</b>.
ine took charge of the situation with a single, decisive gesture.
“There’s no need to fret over that. You don’t have to worry. I’ll just call back the folks who helped move the medicine earlier to distribute it. When they were unloading the medicine from the vehicle, didn’t Dr. Thome already rify which ones were anti–inmmatory medicine and which ones were cold medicine? Plus, the nurses are avable as well.”
Without waiting for Lysander and Josiah to speak again, ine had already turned around on his own to call someone over. Despite his advanced age, his steps were remarkably steady.
For the first time, Josiah encountered a situation that even he couldn’t dissuade in time. He couldn’t help but say. “The people here are truly warm–hearted. No wonder you don’t want to leave.”
Lysander saw his surprise and asked casually, “Did you see the cured meat hanging in the dorm and the table full of ingredients?”
“Yes,” Josiah nodded. “I thought it was a local custom here, so I didn’t ask.”
Lysander sighed lightly as she began to recount the events of the morning-
“All those are gifts from the vigers, given in gratitude for our help in delivering a baby for a woman inborst night. It was a difficultbor. The people here might have never seen the world beyond their vige, leading a secluded life, yet they’re genuinely kind–hearted. If they want to thank you, they’ll treat you with all they have. Living here, you’ll truly feel at ease. Life bes so simple,” she <b>said</b>.
Such a simple lifestyle was something theplex interpersonal rtionships in the city couldn’t offer her. Amidst them, she felt as if she was rapidly returning to her natural essence.
Drawing in a breath of fresh <b>air</b>, Josiah remarked, “I can see why some people choose to retreat to the countryside to cleanse their souls. If everyone lived this simply, it would indeed be a return to one’s true self. I guess I <b>made </b>the right choice <bing </b>here.”
Lysander gently reminded, “Today is only the first day. Don’t be so overconfident.”
“<b>Don’t </b>worry.” Josiah either didn’t hear or was truly confident as he sincerely asked, “Besides medicine, is there anything else you need here?”
Without a second thought, Lysander said, “We need more doctors.”

you can give me some time to think.”

Lysander also froze, realizing that she had almost joked with him. She quickly regained her seriousness and <b>said</b><b>, </b>“Thinking about it won’t help. If you really want to know what’scking here…
She nced up at the small building ahead, reflecting on the inconvenience she had experienced the previous day when she was delivering a baby and looking for shots. “The conditions here <b>aren’t </b>good. In the entire health center, there’s only one small refrigerator. It’s barely enough to store the most essential shots, but many medications require refrigeration.”
In a rural area already gued by a shortage of doctors and medicine, any waste was enough to cause a pang of distress. Lysander spoke with a face full of worry, instantly forgetting the slight embarrassment she had felt moments <b>ago</b><b>,</b>
Without a moment’s hesitation, Josiah agreed, replying, “All right. I understand.”
In front of Lysander, he immediately called the staff who were still in Harborbrook. He instructed them to purchase a refrigerator <b>as </b>soon as possible and have it delivered. Therger the capacity, the better, and the faster the delivery, the better.
ine had just finished arranging the medicines with the vigers and was about to ask if they needed help with anything else. He overheard Lysander and Josiah discussing the purchase of a refrigerator and was immediately moved to tears.
Lysander was startled, stepping forward with concern, asking, “What’s wrong?”
“It’s nothing.” ine said, rubbing his weary eyes. “I really can’t thank you enough.”
Lysander was moved by the elder’s gratitude, and she felt a warmth in her heart. “Don’t take it to heart too much. W–We’re here to provide medical support, so it’s only natural that we do our best within our capabilities.”
To save herself the trouble of exining, she vaguely told him everything rted to Josiah.
People of a certain age would tend to be more susceptible to tears, and at that moment, ine was no exception. He spent quite some time wiping away his tears before he could stop. Seeing the concern on the faces of Lysander and Josiah, he felt somewhat embarrassed and said, “I’ve always been a bit of a crybaby, even more so now that I’m older.”
“We understand. You don’t need to worry about it,” Lysander gently reassured, hoping to spare embarrassment. “As for the refrigerator, it’s probably still a few days away on the road.”
ine any
Upon hearing about the refrigerator, ine was still visibly thrilled. “It’s great that we have something to use. We’ve thought about adding some equipment to the health center in the past, but no matter how n and I crunched the numbers, we just couldn’t spare any extra funds. Given the vigers financial struggles, it’s even more impossible to ask them to contribute.”
He seemed to have a special rapport with the two young people before him. Once the serious matters were discussed, he pped his thigh and said, “It’s almost noon! We have important guests in the <b>vige</b>, so we must show proper hospitality. I’ll go back and prepare some chicken soup for you!”
In the countryside, chicken soup was considered the height of luxury. Even expectant mothers could only have it when they needed to bolster their health.

it!”
<b>ine </b>was well aware of the value of the chicken, but it was precisely for this reason that he insisted on serving it to his important guests. He firmly stated, “We can always raise another chicken, but good folks like you and Mr. Guerra are truly hard toe by. I cannot afford to neglect you two.”
Josiah caught up and said. “You haven’t neglected us at all. As for lunch, it’s almost noon. We wouldn’t make it in time, anyway.”
Just like that, the couple had dyed the chicken’s death sentence by half a day.
Inspired by Josiah’s suggestion, Lysander immediately had an idea. “That’s right. Everyone brought so many things this morning, and we haven’t had a chance to eat them yet. There’s no need to prepare another meal at noon. It would be a shame not to eat the dishes the new mother’s mother<b>–</b>inw gave me.”
After all, this was a heartfelt gesture from a patient’s family member.
Upon hearing this, ine finally abandoned his immediate ns to go home and ughter a chicken.
Considering the piles of items in the dorm, Lysander casually suggested, “The health center has a kitchen, and everyone must be tired from moving all those medicines. Why don’t we all just stay and eat together?”
ine hesitated, saying, “I’m not sure about this. Those items are gifts from everyone to you.”
“Since that’s the case, it shouldn’t be a problem if we want to share it with everyone, right?” Lysander was afraid he would go back and save the chicken to make soup for Josiah in the evening. Hence, she was trying everything she could to save the chicken.
With a knowing smile, Josiah helped her by chiming in, “That’s right. Being new here, I, too, would love to share a meal with everyone.”
Upon hearing Josiah speak up, ine finally agreed.
Lysander quickly went ahead and discussed this with the nurses in the outpatient department. After gaining their unanimous agreement, she returned to the dorm, gathered the ingredients like cured meat and green vegetables, and delivered them to the kitchen in the front yard.
The health center didn’t have a cafeteria, so everyone usually <b>took </b>turns cooking. Once the meals were prepared, they would gather in the courtyard to eat together. The dishes prepared were usually simple.
That day, the vigers insisted on showing their gratitude to Josiah, resulting in two tables beingbined to amodate everyone. Using the ingredients that were delivered to the hospital in the morning, they prepared avish lunch.
The nurses collectively breathed a sigh of relief, then began to gossip about Lysander and Josiah’s <b>affairs</b>.
“Atst, there’s no need <b>to </b>worry about waste. Dr. Thorne, your husband really does <b>have </b>impable. timing.”
“That’s right, and he’s really handsome<b>, </b><b>just </b>like the male lead in ‘My Beloved, the novel<b>.</b><b>”</b>
“However, Dr. Thorn, your husband clearly looks like a big shot. Would he befortable around here?”
