Do you … really know a place that can cure Darren's eyes? " Lucy looked at this kind-looking old man hesitantly. Ever since she came to Chaos City, she had already been recommended four or five times, but none of the doctors could cure Darren's eyes.
"Yes. You might not believe it, but just yesterday, my eyes were no longer able to read what was written in the account book normally. But today, I can see the birds singing in the trees in the distance. It's all so unbelievable," Christopher said with a smile. He even had a look of disbelief on his face.
"Little girl, you don't have to worry that this old gentleman is lying to you. Albert's Jewelry Shop is the biggest jewelry shop in Chaos City, and Mr. Christopher is a very friendly and helpful gentleman. He might really be able to help you," a well-dressed lady at the side said to Lucy with a smile.
"Long time no see, Madam Kathryn." Christopher looked at the lady and nodded slightly in greeting. She was a regular customer of the gold shop, and he often saw her when he was on duty.
Lucy's eyes lit up again when she heard that. She looked at Christopher, and said, "If it's possible, please bring us to that place."
Although she had failed many times, she still felt warmth in Chaos City. Everyone was trying to help them passionately. However, Darren's eyes seemed to be very troublesome. So far, no doctor had said that they could cure him.
Christopher looked at the simple sleigh parked at the side, and a hint of heartache flashed across his eyes. He said in a gentle voice, "That place is a little far from here. Leave your sleigh here for now, and take my carriage there."
"Mm-hmm." Lucy nodded. She pulled Darren and followed behind Christopher. She kept looking back at her sleigh worriedly.
"Little girl, don't worry. I will look after the sleigh for you," Dr. Adolphus said with a smile.
"Thank you," Lucy quickly said gratefully. She was finally relieved.
"Get on." Christopher helped Darren into the horse-drawn carriage, and only got on after Lucy got on.
The four-wheeled carriage was rather spacious. There were seats on three sides, and soft animal skin was laid out. However, Lucy and Darren were still standing a little awkwardly.
Christopher sat down at the side, and said to the two of them with a smile, "Have a seat. Why are you standing? I can't take all the seats by myself."
"Our bodies are too dirty. We can't dirty your seat. We only need to stand." Lucy shook her head and said as she looked at her dirty animal skin clothes that she had fallen a few times on the road.
"You child …" Christopher sighed in his heart. The little girl was about the same age as his granddaughter, but his granddaughter was studying in Chaos School now, and had a horse-drawn carriage to send her to and from school every day.
"It's okay, you can wash it if it's dirty. Hurry up and sit down. It's not safe to stand. It won't be a joke if you fall," Christopher said as gently as he could.
"Then …" Lucy looked around, and pulled Darren to sit on the floor of the carriage. She looked at Christopher with a radiant smile, and said, "We can sit here. It's also very soft and comfortable."
The inside of the carriage was carpeted, which was much more resistant to dirt than the animal skin cushions.
Christopher looked at the smiling young lady and the silent young man, and fell silent for a moment. He also smiled, and said, "Alright, let's set off then."
The horse-drawn carriage continued forward, but it stopped for a while when it passed by a clothing shop. Christopher alighted, and came back with two sets of clothes and a pair of red leather boots.
"Come, children. Change your clothes first. It's so cold today, don't catch a cold." Christopher handed the clothes and shoes to Lucy, and turned to walk out. "I'll wait for you under the carriage. Let me know when you're done changing."
Lucy shook her head as she looked at the bright clothes and red shoes, and said, "Mr. Christopher, we have clothes. We're not cold at all."
"Little girl, you're about the same age as my granddaughter, so just take it as a small gift from grandpa. After you change your clothes, I'll bring you to see your eyes," Christopher said with a smile as he put down the curtain and alighted from the carriage.
"Big Sister." Darren turned to look at Lucy, and shyly said, "Mr. Christopher is really a good person."
"Yeah, just like grandpa." Lucy nodded. She looked a little sad at the mention of her grandpa.
"If only grandpa was still around." Darren also pursed his lips slightly.
"It's alright. As long as your eyes can be cured, grandpa will be very happy in heaven. Let's change our clothes first. Then, we won't have to worry about dirtying Mr. Christopher's carriage." Lucy quickly changed the topic, and took out Darren's clothes for him to change into.
It was a dark blue cotton coat, and it was a little too big for Darren. However, he immediately became much more energetic after changing into it.
"It's so warm. What comfortable clothes." Darren raised his hand, and a rare smile appeared on his face.
Lucy also took off her dirty and tattered beast-skin coat and pants, and put on the soft cotton coat and pants. It was as if she had crawled into a warm bed, and it was so comfortable that she wanted to sleep.
Her clothes fit her very well, as if they were tailor-made for her. The coat was a white beast-skin coat, unlike her rough leather coat. It was soft and comfortable, and felt very warm just by touching it. It should be the fur of some magical beast, and it was a terrifying existence that even the best hunter in the village wouldn't dare to provoke.
Lucy only reached out to touch the coat, and then folded it neatly, and gently placed it on a chair at the side. Her gaze landed on the pair of red leather boots at the side.
What a beautiful pair of shoes. The workmanship was stunning. Red top, black sole, and a layer of soft and comfortable brown fur in the shoes. Even the shoemaker in the village had never made such beautiful shoes.
She lowered her head to look at her feet. Her toes, which were red from the cold, were sticking out from the holes in the straw sandals. It looked rather comical.
"Can I accept such a precious gift?" Lucy was a little conflicted. She couldn't take her eyes off the red shoes.
"Are you done?" Christopher's voice sounded from outside the carriage.
"We can't delay Darren's treatment." Lucy quickly picked up the pair of red shoes, and quickly took off her straw sandals, and put on the new pair of shoes.
"Oh … It's so warm."
Lucy's eyes lit up immediately. She felt as if her frozen feet were placed on a warm oven.
