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.

Finally, he spoke in a low voice, "I believe her."

The medicine prescribed by his grandmother's personal physician might have been effective, but it was also detrimental to his health. He could feel that his physical condition had worsened considerably over the past few days.

The fact that Lucille was able to detect the issue with just the scent of that medicine so easily suggested that she was indeed knowledgeable about medicine.

By bringing the problem to his attention, she was simply returning him a favor. After all, he had given her two free rides.

Hmph!

It seemed that....

She didn't want to have anything to do with him.

Culver stared in astonishment, unable to believe his ears.
