Kapitel 77: THE LOCKET CARRIER

Veronica caught a glimpse of a familiar face and shouted, "Oh! You are that burned soldier!"

He was the man who had a locket with him that was similar to Sister Ruth's locket.

"Oh, Miss Healer!" The soldier also noticed her as well and came forward. "I've heard about your victorious deed. You are truly amazing, Miss Healer!"

"It was nothing at all," Veronica replied to him bashfully. "I haven't seen you since I came back. Where were you?"

The soldier replied, "I went to scout our trail to see if an enemy is waiting out there to ambush us or not. I came back and reported to Major General Orion."

Veronica questioned him, "Enemy? Haven't you already defeated the enemy?"

"We have more than Riverhill as our enemy. Please don't be concerned, Miss Healer. The road is safe. I've checked myself," the soldier assured her.

"Thank goodness for that," Veronica sighed in relief. "How's your scar? Do you feel pain anymore?"
