章節 59: VERONICA'S FEELINGS

Arthur gave her a water pouch and said, "Drink it all up."

"Is this okay? Water is rare in the desert," Veronica was concerned for him.

Arthur assured her, "It is fine. There is an oasis not so far from here. But you should be careful not to go there alone, especially in the dark."

Veronica tilted her head. She couldn't understand why she couldn't go there alone or in the dark. "Why not?"

Arthur shortly narrated, "That's because animals need water too and they go there to drink water."

"I-I see." Veronica drank water and didn't leave a single drop.

Arthur was examining her ankles while commenting, "You have become thin. Your skin is dark. Were you working too hard?"

Veronica flinched as she felt a slight pain. She replied, "I was doing whatever I could to help everyone."

"As a healer?" Arthur casually questioned her.

"No…" Veronica hesitated. She couldn't tell anyone, including him.
