Chapter 655 His Interest Was Piqued
“All right, all right, just go ahead and down this drink and you’ll start feeling better almost immediately! Just hang tight here, okay? I’ve got a lunch simmering away at home, and it should be ready before you know it. I’ll rush back and bring it right over for you.”
The health center was conveniently situated very close to Blaine’s house. Given its proximity, the round trip to fetch a home–cooked meal from his own farm took barely ten minutes.
The egg spaghetti, served warm, was not only soft and comforting to eat but were also particularly. beneficial for soothing the stomach.
Aware that Blaine had offered the best he could from his own resources, Josiah mulled over ways to show his appreciation once the chief had departed.
While the easiest and most straightforward gesture would have been to offer money, Josiah had used up all the cash he had on him during his travels to the village. It became evident that this quaint, remote mountain village was not equipped to handle electronic payments.

Despite this, she didn’t want to cause any offense to Blaine and permitted. Josiah to go.
