From a distance, Lysander observed the handprints on his clothes, a rare sight of disarray about him.

Josiah seemed to sense her gaze on him, and just then, he turned his head to look at her. Their eyes met briefly before parting as he took two steps forward, and then, unexpectedly, he broke into a relieved smile.

“Yes,” he answered.

Blaine, noticing Josiah’s refined attire and extraordinary demeanor, quickly realized he was no ordinary man. Blaine then hurriedly approached, saying to the children first, “All right. Let’s not crowd around here anymore. You’re blocking the road.”

The children were very obedient to Blaine’s words, and they immediately dispersed like a flock of birds

Blaine asked Josiah somewhat nervously, “I am the village chief. May I ask what brings you here?

“Hello,” Josiah responded in a friendly manner. “I’m here to… Oh! I was entrusted by Central Hospital of Harborbrook to deliver a batch of medical supplies to the health center.”

After he finished speaking, he moved through the crowd, his gaze landing directly on Lysander. His eyes were filled with an unspeakable longing and concern. He didn’t smile until he’d taken in her whole appearance, ensuring she was safe and healthy.

Lysander appeared slightly tanned compared to before, but she seemed to be in good spirits, which put

him at ease.

Blaine followed his gaze, initially taken aback, then understanding dawned on him. These two are acquaintances!

Blaine then said with a chuckle, “So, you’re looking for Dr. Thorne.”

The observing villagers‘ gaze toward Josiah turned especially friendly when they heard those words.

Josiah didn’t deny it. He simply offered a slight smile and said, “This time, I brought over some common medication for treating colds and fevers. If you need anything else in the future, you can contact Central Hospital, and they’ll arrange for someone to deliver it.”
