A Blank Expression
A Blank Expression
Master Walton also heard the noise outside, but he didn’t even look up. It was obvious that he didn’t want to bother with them.
Soon, Joanne and Jenny stepped into the small bungalow together.
As soon as they entered, Joanne covered her nose and said with disgust,” It’s so smelly. What a rundown place! It’s so dirty and poor!”
Upon hearing that, Dr. Harrison looked up at her with a blank expression and said nothing. He lowered his head and continued to distribute
prescriptions.
Master Walton frowned and coldly asked, “What are you doing here?”
“I’m looking for her!” Joanne raised her hand, pointed at Lucille, and ordered, “Hey, come with me!”
Lucille gave her a faint smile in response, her face full of sarcasm.
Seeing that, Jenny came up with an idea and explained in a hurry, “Here’s what happened, Master Walton. On our way here, we met someone who said that one of his family members was sick and that he wanted us to go and have a look. I didn’t think I was capable enough, so I wanted Lucille to go with us.”
Hearing that, Master Walton’s face softened a little.
Since they were there for a patient, there was nothing to scold them for.

She wanted to see what other tricks they had up their sleeves.
Lucille got up from the long bench and walked out slowly.
At that moment, Dr. Harrison was done with the prescriptions. Master Walton had his medicine kit on his back and was ready to go to the neighboring village with Dr. Harrison to see the man with a complicated illness. Since it was in a separate direction, they parted ways with Lucille.
Master Walton was worried and shouted, “Miss- Ahem, you three girls, be careful.”
“Don’t worry, Master Walton. We’ll take good care of Lucille,” Jenny responded with a smile.
A triumphant glint flashed in her eyes.
Soon, Master Walton followed Dr. Harrison down the mountain.
Jenny took a look at her phone. After confirming that the direction was correct, she led the way. While walking, she explained, “The person who asked us for help lives a little far. He stays behind the mountain. Let’s go, Lucille. He’s still waiting for you to save his life!”
“Are you sure it’s in this direction?” Lucille asked.
