Chapter 168: Slim (8)
Time was tight. Everly and Misha didn’t talk much before they ran into the convenience store and split up to gather the supplies they needed.
Everly bought several boxes of compressed biscuits, a few packs of bottled water, a box of instant noodles, and several sets of spare clothes.
Other essentials such as tissues, wet wipes, toothbrushes, toothpaste, thin blankets, and a camping tent were already standard items kept in the Jeep’s trunk, so there was no need to buy them again.
By the time she loaded the last few cases of water into the car and filled the trunk to capacity, Misha finally came running back to the front of the vehicle, carrying a plastic bag in a hurry.
“Everly, I couldn’t get the tapeworm medicine. The pharmacist said it’s a prescription drug, and without a hospital prescription he wouldn’t sell it to me. So I bought ten Black Pills as you asked, and also picked up some common medicines like vitamin B, vitamin C, cold medicine, and painkillers.”
“Mm, that’s fine. Get in the car quickly.”
Everly took the bag and carefully placed it into the center console compartment.
Like the emergency supplies, the Grand Cherokee also always carried some common medicines. Combined with what Misha had just bought, it was enough to handle the comfortably mild weather of June.
Most importantly, the Black Pills—those needed to be stocked in larger quantities. Misha had been quite generous, buying ten at once. Split between two people, it should be more than enough no matter what.
