Chapter 778

Chapter 123 : I Will Only Ever Love One Man

*Three Months Later*

I walked through the busy town square, grocery bags in my arms. Some of the other pedestrians recognized me. They nodded and smiled in greeting.

I’d been in Marno pack for a while now.

The square was always busy. There was a large trade center and they liked their fairs. Travelers came and went and it was a good place to stay under the radar.

I could easily blend in.

The massive trade center allowed me to have access to many rare herbs I would otherwise have to gather in the wild. It would take months, maybe years, to travel the world collecting those precious ingredients.

“Dr. Way, it is nice to see you,” one of the locals said, tipping his hat to me.

Some people called me Heather, some referred to me as Dr. Way. Even those that recognized me only did because they saw me regularly. They didn’t know my real name.

“Good morning.” I smiled back.

“Did you see the new healing herbs that came in this week? We haven’t had those herbs in years. The temperatures haven’t been right for their growth in the south.”

“Oh, please show me,” I said.

The vendor reached under his table and pulled out bundles of three small plants I had been wanting to get.

“I’ll take half of each bundle,” I said. I would take more, but I also need to watch my spending, to a degree. Luckily, the formulas I was studying only require small amounts of those ingredients.

“Wonderful. I’ll wrap them for you. How are you liking this weather?”

The vendor made small talk as he wrapped up the herbs.

I took my bundles and moved on to another vendor selling fresh fruits and vegetables.

“Ahh, Heather, I have something I know you’ll love,” the fruit vendor was a pleasant middle-aged woman. She smiled sweetly and pulled out a crate of fresh fruits I hadn’t seen before.

I picked one up and examined it. “What is this?”

“It’s called a Prickly Apple. You know, these are very nutritious, especially for expecting mothers.” She winked and motioned to my baby bump.

“Alright, I’ll take three.”

I greeted a few more of the vendors. They all knew me as Doctor Heather Way.

Once I was done with my shopping, I headed to Hill’s Clinic down the street.
