The old man spoke with no sarcasm, only sincerity.
Gara immediately helped the old man outside, but not before casting a look of disdain at Narin.
Sarah and Teo, finally realizing what had really happened, gave Narin the same look before closing the door behind them.
Even the boy's mother was unsettled by the young miss' behavior. She hadn't thought the sir healer's voice was loud at all. But… never mind. As long as her son could be saved, that was all that mattered.
Only after the door shut did Narin truly realize what she'd done. Normally, she wasn't like this at all.
How could she lose her temper so suddenly?
When the patient first arrived, she had felt confident, certain she could prove her ability. But even after giving the child her healing water, nothing changed.
The longer it went on, the more panic crept in. Especially with Gara in the same room. She feared he would notice her failure… and laugh.
