Chapter 121: New mediator in town
"I heard from that woman in the butcher shop that you will not be helping them after this." Heiren spoke up after being silent for a while.
Coco blinked, lifting her head up from the bed to look at the wall in front of her.
"No.. I take back what I said, I have to help them out somehow because they will be busy." She hummed out, the tears in her cheek turning dry and leaving trails on their wake since she wasn’t crying anymore.
"You have to take it easy." Heiren stated, tying the ends of the white bandage before backing away from Coco and looking at his handiwork.
"I’ll take it easy." Coco assured him and let out a sigh, "I just have to move around a little, I won’t be carrying heavy things that may reopen my wounds so I’ll probably just do errands here and there."
"That’s not what I meant." Heiren stated, his eyebrows furrowing in concern, "I’m telling you that you should stop working for today and take it easy for the next three days."
Coco’s head snapped to the side so she could look at Heiren over her shoulders. "Three days?! That’s a lot of opportunities wasted! I can’t stay in bed for three days and not go out there! My main source of money is the monsters!"
Zaque scoffed at what he heard. "Then bring someone else with you who would be able to carry those monsters."
"But no one is as strong as I am!" Coco exclaimed, slamming her palm down on the mattress and frowning at the two mediators who were looking at her with strange looks in their eyes.
