After Surviving the Apocalypse, I Built a City in Another World novel Chapter 496

The nurses looked at the handsome man pale ’with worry’ and their hearts softened, the younger ones even falling a little in love.

"O-Oh yes, of course." One of the doctors said, pointing the newcomer to the bed. He gently placed the woman there and she shifted, looking at the man with a teary face.

She was so pitiful. Although the man didn’t show it, he probably felt heartbroken too… right?

"Drakey-honey…" she mumbled. "I’m in so much pain… hold my hand please."

The man flinched and he even shivered, though the doctors assumed it must’ve been from too much heartbreak.

The man slowly took the woman’s hand and the female doctors couldn’t help but sigh at the ’young love’ blooming even in this hellhole.

At the same time, some more patients had been brought in. They seem to have been injured from hunting, so the more minor cases were moved deeper into the clinic.

Before the nurse left though, Drake cleared his throat. "Can we have a female healer with her, please? I heard of a name, Vanessa?"

Jona immediately opened her eyes as she realized that Drake knew one of the doctors here.

The nurse looked awkward, "Miss Vanessa only takes very important patients," she said, "She’s the only Healer in this village, after all."

Jona pursed her lips, recalling the good-looking healer they had, the gorgeous Betty. Even Turbo was quite handsome. The pretty Sheila also seemed to be on her way to trigger it, too!

Was this a requirement? How pretty would this Vanessa be?

Drake didn’t seem to notice Jona’s discomfort at all and just looked at the nurse with a serious face, making her blush. "We can pay a hefty amount," he said and the nurse nodded.

"I… I’ll call her," she said though Jona noticed she was blinking a lot more than before.

She extended her hand to hold Drake’s hand tightly and the woman awkwardly cleared her throat. "I’ll be going now."

Drake’s eyebrows rose as he looked at their intertwined hands. He pulled it out, "No one’s around anymore."

Jona pursed her lips and glared at him, before looking away. Drake flinched, a bit unused by the annoyed look.

They sat in silence until Vanessa went down. "I’m here," a pretty voice said, and Jona turned to look at the newcomer. She immediately saw Vanessa and her heart dropped.

This woman was so beautiful!

But then she guardedly looked at Drake who didn’t look at the woman any differently and she heaved a sigh of relief.

But then she paled: This meant that her position was just the same as this one!

Jona’s pale face didn’t bother the two who were catching up.

"Drake?" Vanessa exclaimed with wide eyes. "It’s you?"

Drake nodded. "We are refugees and our territory just fell from a beast tide," he said. "We are now looking for a new home."

"Well, it is a good thing you arrived in this territory," Vanessa said with a gentle smile. "At the very least, there’s a lot of us here."

She kept some distance though, because she knew of Drake’s weakness regarding women. _{freewēbnoveℓ.com}
