Master Walton also heard the noise outside, but he didn't even look up. It was obvious that he didn't want to bother with them.
Soon, Joanne and Jenny stepped into the small bungalow together.
As soon as they entered, Joanne covered her nose and said with disgust," It's so smelly. What a rundown place! It's so dirty and poor!" Upon hearing that, Dr. Harrison looked up at her with a blank expression and said nothing. He lowered his head and continued to distribute prescriptions.
Master Walton frowned and coldly asked, "What are you doing here?"
"I'm looking for her!" Joanne raised her hand, pointed at Lucille, and ordered, "Hey, come with me!"
Lucille gave her a faint smile in response, her face full of sarcasm.
Seeing that, Jenny came up with an idea and explained in a hurry, "Here's what happened, Master Walton. On our way here, we met someone who said that one of his family members was sick and that he wanted us to go and have a look. I didn't think I was capable enough, so I wanted Lucille to go with us."
Hearing that, Master Walton's face softened a little.
Since they were there for a patient, there was nothing to scold them for.
Master Walton glanced at Jenny and ively remarked, "You know that you're not capable enough. At least you're self-aware."
Jenny was speechless, but she had to endure it.
Despite that, Master Walton did not agree directly. Instead, he looked at Lucille and asked for her opinion.
Jenny added, "Time is of the essence, Lucille. If the patient is seriously ill and needs our help, even the smallest delay could be a matter of life and

death."

With a subtle grin, Lucille responded, "Well, if you say that, I have no choice but to go. In that case, let's go."
She wanted to see what other tricks they had up their sleeves.
Lucille got up from the long bench and walked out slowly.
At that moment, Dr. Harrison was done with the prescriptions. Master Walton had his medicine kit on his back and was ready to go to the neighboring village with Dr. Harrison to see the man with a complicated illness. Since it was in a separate direction, they parted ways with Lucille.
Master Walton was worried and shouted, "Miss- Ahem, you three girls, be careful."
"Don't worry, Master Walton. We'll take good care of Lucille," Jenny responded with a smile.
A triumphant glint flashed in her eyes.noveldrama
Soon, Master Walton followed Dr. Harrison down the mountain.
Jenny took a look at her phone. After confirming that the direction was correct, she led the way. While walking, she explained, "The person who asked us for help lives a little far. He stays behind the mountain. Let's go, Lucille. He's still waiting for you to save his life!" "Are you sure it's in this direction?" Lucille asked.
She glanced at the back of the mountain. Madam Grant had told her not to go there because of the wild beasts. Moreover, there were traps placed by
hunters.
If she fell in, she would get injured or even lose her life.
Since Jenny was taking her there, it was obvious that she didn't have good intentions in mind.
Jenny did not even hesitate to lie when faced with Lucille's questioning. I'm sure! Of course, I am! How could be wrong when it's a matter of life and death? Sigh. Let's not waste any more time. Come on!"

Joanne also chimed in and icily taunted, "Why? Are you scared?"
Lucille's lips curled into a relaxed smirk.
All right.
As long as they didn't regret it...
