Doctor Seam now lived in a remote small town in Priocia. As their convoy approached the town, the road became ever bumpier. The mountain road had yet to be paved with cement, making the journey increasingly difficult.
Amanda Smith clutched her stomach, her face turning pale. Her frail body couldn't withstand such intense jolting, and soon she was pale and breaking out in a cold sweat.
Samuel Johnson knew she couldn't endure it and couldn't help but blame himself for being too eager, having set out to find someone without making thorough preparations.
Fortunately, after half an hour of jostling, they finally reached the small town marked on the map.
The town lay hidden under mountains, a picture of pastoral beauty. By the time they arrived, it was the afternoon, with the mountains enshrouded in a misty haze. Sunlight pierced through the fog, giving the rays a ethereal quality.
