She stay motionless on my knee, only her tears streaming down.
Maybe I can use this opportunity for something.
But what can I use her for?
My eyes that was fix on the lady, darted to the gleaming basket beside us.
'Well... I do have something I want to obtain but it is quite literally impossible to get on my current state. She would have worse chance to obtain it than me.'
Will it be too crazy to bet on a small possibility?
As I was lost in my own thought, I feels the pulls on my trouser, as she slowly nodded answering to my last words.
For now, lets just put that thought a side and focus on dealing with what in hands.
Gathering my courage I open my mouth with firm look.
Kneeling infront of the crying lady as I place my hand on her shoulder, helping her to sit.
"Don't worry dear. I am indeed a doctor. To be more specific a private doctor to the noble folk here. Under the right circumstances, I may able to help your daughter. But first I need to examine her current situation first"
Her crying stop, as she begin repeating her thankfulness toward me.
Before long, we on the journey to her place. Entering the poor areas, a lot of of eyes had start gathering on me.
Even in the death of night the folk here is still well awake. Probably more worry of the darkness, compare to the rich who had the safety of their cozy estate.
Beside, I couldn't change my attire to potray this fake doctor I got going for.
'I really hope this payoff'
The state of the child sickness also play a key role here since medical isn't my strongest suit.
Not to long after we arrive at her supposely home.
The state, is not the worse. Pretty livable I would say.
But all that really matter is the child sickness.
Because it will determine my decisions.
...
Sigh
"Let me me real for a second. I have no reason to even put myself is such situation yet I found myself is that exact position of either I walk away or help. That doesn't sound like me. Maybe the boredom really take it toll to mental state"
"Maybe a therapist is require, sir"
My eyes turn sideway at the sudden reply.
Oh great, the impractical over price maid has escape her daydreaming.
As is she had just catch me cursing her in the my head. She quickly refill my cup of tea.
"Anything else I can help you with, sir?"
