"Do you really think Herbert would send any medical experts to Springtown?" Cassian asked. "Perhaps he would, but that would only be when things have spiraled completely out of control—maybe even after I've been infected or died. Only then would he send someone."But who knows how many others in Springtown would've died by then? Why did we become doctors in the first place? Isn't it to help the sick and the injured? Those are not empty words. It's the duty that we all carry and a responsibility we must fulfill through our actions."He continued, "I'm already on my way to Springtown now. I'll check on the situation first. Once I figure out what's going on, I'll call you. You and Fiona need to get ready to join me when I tell you to."Despite saying that, he had no intention of letting Peter and Fiona come over. It was clear why this was happening. He'd beaten up Herbert, and in an attempt to seek revenge, Herbert dragged Peter and Fiona into this mess as well.At the end of the day,

The fare for both Cassian and Wanda only ended up being 30 dollars.Cassian couldn't help but note the extremely low cost of living in Barcus County. 30 dollars in Rivershire could barely cover the cost of a decent meal. This proved that the area was indeed home to a low-income community.The van set off westward. Sitting by the window, Cassian looked out at the scenery and realized that the area was even poorer than he'd imagined.Apart from downtown Barcus, he didn't see a single building over ten stories high anywhere else. The place was made up of shabby, rundown-looking houses.Half an hour later, the van had left the county town and entered a mountain road.The road from Rivershire to Barcus County had already been pretty winding, but it was nothing compared to the road now, with its endless number of hairpin curves. The dirt road was bumpy, narrow, and in most places, only wide enough for a single vehicle.Cassian glanced out the window and felt his heart clench. Beside th

Wanda didn't know what to say.Beaming, Martha asked, "How far have you two gone, Wanda? When do you plan on getting married and having a child?"Getting married and having a child?Wanda was speechless.…In the living room, Amos kept looking at Cassian, scrutinizing him carefully. He was young and handsome, which made him seem like a suitable match for Wanda. But what about his background?After a couple of minutes, Amos couldn't resist asking, "Where are you from, Cassian?""I'm from Rivershire, Mr. Colt," Cassian replied politely."And what do you do for a living?""I'm a doctor.""A doctor, you say? That's a very good career. You'll never be out of a job," Amos remarked, his smile widening. "And how are your parents?"Cassian replied, "My father went missing when I was very young. Since then, it's just been my mother and me. She's in good health.""I see. You've had a tough life. By the way, if you're back here with Wanda, what's going on with Sadie? How's she doing?"

Cassian immediately put two and two together and asked, "So, Everstream is the new name he gave the village?""That's right. You're a pretty smart guy, aren't you?" Amos remarked. "The name Everstream is supposed to symbolize that the village would always have a stream of water, never experiencing another drought."After the name change, the villagers eagerly waited for rain. But even after two weeks passed, not a single raindrop fell. They all thought the geomancy expert had fooled them, so they went over to him, demanding an explanation."He said that since the skies weren't cooperating, they would have to take matters into their own hands. He used a geomancy compass to canvas the area around the village for three days before finally marking nine spots. Then, he instructed the villagers to dig up wells at those nine spots."Well, he proved to be worth his salt, after all. All nine spots he marked out produced spring water. From then on, the nine wells kept the villages going. Lat

"What's wrong, Mr. Colt?" Cassian quickly asked."It's nothing… just an old back problem of mine acting up again," Amos replied."You have a herniated disc?" Cassian asked."Yeah.""Let me treat you. It'll only take a moment," Cassian said."Forget it. It's been plaguing me for decades now. I've had all kinds of medication and consulted with plenty of doctors, but nothing ever worked.""You should let me take a look anyway, Mr. Colt," Cassian insisted. "All I have to do is give you a quick acupuncture treatment, and it won't cause you any more pain.""Are you serious?" Amos seemed doubtful.Chuckling, Cassian replied, "You'll know if I'm being serious once I've treated you.""Well, alright then."Cassian helped Amos lie down on the couch and began by massaging his lower back. Then, he took out his gold needles and carefully inserted them at several points along Amos' back.The treatment was complete in under ten minutes."How do you feel, Mr. Colt? Do you still feel any pai
