Daddy, Chasing Mommy Back is On Us! novel Chapter 578

“We’re leaving without even getting to meet the doctor?” Selena questioned with a pout.

“Didn’t the old man say that the doctor is too old to be of service? Since that’s the case, what’s the point even if you find him?” Pierre was feeling sorry for Selena when he held her hand to check the cuts on them.

“But you haven’t even met him! What if the old man got it wrong? Shouldn’t we at least meet the doctor in person?”

Pierre didn’t hold out much hope of finding the doctor in the first place, so he came along with the assumption that they would be on a short trip in the mountains. In fact, he held out even less hope of treating Selena’s condition, more so when he didn’t want Selena to conceive again. “Just listen to me. This mountain is quite treacherous, so it’s tiring to climb it. Besides, I’m worried you might get injured again,” Pierre said while caressing her hair.

However, Selena didn’t like his suggestion, as she had a vague feeling that the doctor could treat her. Just when they were stuck in a stalemate, there was a knock on the door, so Pierre answered the door.

The boss lady who ran the inn was standing at the door. Even though it was said to be an inn, they weren’t even sure if it had a license. They were both famished and exhausted after spending half a day in the mountains. Worried that Selena might be worn out, Pierre thus agreed to settle here.

The inn was actually the dwelling of the boss and the boss lady. They built themselves a three-storey house for their own family. There were a few empty rooms, so they offered accommodation for passersby in order to earn some extra income to help make ends meet.

The boss lady approached Pierre and Selena with a smile on her face. “Weren’t you looking for some medicine? This is what my family uses. Will this be enough? I can go search for more if it’s not enough. We live in a remote area, so it can be quite inconvenient.”

Pierre checked out the transparent bottle. Without a label, he couldn’t even discern what medicine it was. He also noticed the grayish powder in the bottle that looked like dirt, which elicited from him a frown.

“Although it might look inconspicuous, it’s quite potent, and my family made it on our own using herbs. My son slipped and fell in the mountains some time ago, which left a gash on his head. After applying some of this medicine, his injury healed without even leaving a scar.” The boss lady was an honest country woman.
