Chapter 5
Without regard to how Joseph might react, Lucille turned around, walking away.
Joseph leaned back on the car seat, casting a sidelong glance at Lucille's receding figure.
She could smell the medicinal fragrance emanating from him and tell what it was. He couldn't help but wonder if she was truly the silly girl as people said.
It seemed that rumors could be misleading.
"Mr. Joseph," Culver finally spoke up, unable to contain himself any longer. "Lucille Jules is notorious for her wicked ways. You mustn't believe anything she says. The medication you're taking was prescribed by Mrs. Jules' personal physician. What could a little girl like her know about medicine?"
Joseph continued to stare in the direction Lucille had gone, remaining silent for a long moment.
