Chapter 124 : Who’s Your Boyfriend

When I first got to Marno, I wasn’t able to afford to live in the lap of luxury.

I kept a small apartment on the edge of the packland. The building was pretty beat up, the shingles slipping off and the siding had big chunks taken out of it.

Now, on a clinic salary, I could move to a nicer place, but I had grown fond of the neighborhood.

Despite Marno’s active trading business and tourist industry, its wealth wasn’t evenly distributed among the pack members. For example, most people that lived in this area of the packland were in a rough place financially. Life wasn’t easy for them, and thus, they weren’t exactly friendly to begin with.

At first, people in my building had given me the cold shoulder or even cursed for no reason under their breath as I walked by. However, they didn’t do anything to hurt me. After I’d ignored their harmless provocation for a while and helped one elderly with his rheumatic disorder, their attitude had changed 180 degrees.

Now, I knew they’d look out for me. After all, those were good people with rough shells.

I walked up the steps to my apartment and ran into one of my neighbors who was heading down.

“Heather, you’re home early today. Slow day at the clinic?”

“Honey, she’s a doctor,” my neighbor’s wife jumped in, poking her head out their door. “Call her Dr. Way! Oh, she shouldn’t be carrying those grocery bags. Too heavy for pregnant women. Honey, help her up the stairs with those!”

She stepped out into the hall, her own seven-month-old baby on her hip.

“Oh, right, Dr. Way,” the young husband took the groceries from me. “And, yes, let me help you.”

He walked me down the hall and set my groceries in front of my apartment door. “There you are, Dr. Heather Way!”

To make his wife happy, he raised his voice so that his wife could hear him “properly” pronounce my “full name”.

“You can call me Heather outside the clinic,” I said, smiling. “Thank you for the help.”

“No problem! Really, it should be us thanking you. You did cure our son. We had no idea he was sick… just thought he was throwing a tantrum and refusing to eat.” He sighed and shook his head.

“Well, if you want to carry my groceries more often, that could make up for it,” I suggested jokingly.

The young husband grinned and nodded. Then he frowned.

“Oh, by the way…”

“Yes?” I asked.

“You should be careful the next few days. Maybe even better to stay home. The trading season has started. A pretty, single young woman like you will attract a lot of unwanted attention from strangers.”

“Trading…” I muttered. He was referring to the slave trade that rolled through. “Thank you. I will keep that in mind.

After that, he left me alone in the hall.
