After getting confirmation from Gideon as Baron and the one in power in this territory, Nath and his two friends took their leave.
They would return the following week to remind Gideon of his promise, right after Gideon's words proved true.
That was to send food supplies to Dergon Village so the people there could survive until Gideon and his team came to handle their problem.
Nath left the village on horseback with his companions. Lena had also finished her clinic work; those who had not yet been examined could come tomorrow.
Seeing Gideon standing outside the manor gate made Lena curious. Still wearing her white doctor's robe, she stood beside him and looked in the same direction as he did.
"Is something wrong?" Lena asked.
"Yes."
"Someone from Dergon came to tell us about the condition of their village," Gideon replied.
"What happened?"
"Hunger and a disease outbreak caused by contaminated river water," Gideon explained.
