Vol 2 Chapter 208 Miss Hedra
The road paved with bluestone bricks had seen some years, with potholes and puddles of water after the rain.
A somewhat portly merchant wearing a brownish-yellow coat walked ahead, leading the way for Sylutia. He looked to be around fifty years old, his fingers somewhat thick, but his skin was still fairly ruddy.
"The house up ahead is the one, my daughter Hedra lives there."
Sylutia and Ailofeis followed behind him, crossing streets and alleys, then walking through the somewhat low and small wooden door.
The interior of the house was somewhat dim, the walls also a bit damp. After Sylutia entered, she heard a light coughing sound. Then the man pushed open the inner bedroom door and saw the black-haired girl lying on the sickbed.
She was around 19 years old, her face slightly pale. At this moment, she was covering her mouth with a handkerchief, her chest heaving and trembling slightly. Beneath the thin clothes, the outline of her bones was faintly visible.
Seeing her father bringing two people over, her gaze showed a hint of surprise, then she lowered her head, pressed both hands on the quilt, and remained silent.
Seeing this, the man's face showed shame. He went over to pour her some hot water, then asked about her condition today.
