Chapter 153 - Amanda

After barking at the man, the young apprentice turns to Jason before asking. 

"Do you mind if I take a look at her wound".

"As long as you can heal her, I don't mind letting you see the wound" replied Jason with a nod before letting the apprentice take a look at the wound.

After examining the wound for some time, the apprentice withdrew her gaze before turning to Jason. 

"If I am not mistaken, this wound was caused by a sword" said the young apprentice.

"Everyone here can tell that it was caused by a sword so does that make us a physician also" chuckle the young man who was barked at.

"It would have been easy for them to heal the wound without coming here to get her treated if it were to be an ordinary stab but the problem here is that there seem to be some poison lingering in the wound which could be caused by the sword" replied the young apprentice with a frown as he turned to the man.

"You are just making things up here young lady" said the man.

Seeing how the man is trying to get into a fight with the only physician which he could find at the moment, he suddenly yelled at the man with his eyes burning in rage.

"One more word from you and you won't be needing the physician anymore. I remember pleading with you all to let us see the physician but you refused but now that someone has volunteered to help, you are trying to distract her".

Feeling the killing intent in the eyes of the young man, he did better than to open his mouth and go back to wait in line. Seeing that he has stopped with his racket, Jason turns back to the young lady with a smile on his face as he asks.

"Will it be possible for you to remove the poison from the wound".

"These... It shouldn't be a problem but I will need some herbs and a quiet place to conduct the treatment" replied the young apprentice after hesitating a little before giving him a reply.

"Just tell me what you need and I will go get it ready" said Jason.

"Since you say so, here is the list of the herbs that I will be needing to start the treatment" replied the young apprentice as she wrote down the list of herbs before passing it to Jason.

Going through the names, Jason found it difficult to recognize any of the herbs that were written down and left with no choice, he turned to the apprentice as he asked in an awkward tone.

"Do you mind telling me where I can get all these herbs".

"You can purchase them in the herb store not far from the tavern" replied the apprentice.

"Thanks" said Jason before turning to Hannah as he instructed her to look after their mother as he went out of the hall to search for the tavern which shouldn't be difficult for him to locate. Getting there, Jason quickly purchased the herbs before heading back to the hall but on getting there, he saw that their mother was vomiting blood once more. Knowing fully well what could be causing it, he rush in as he passed the herbs to the apprentice as he asked what they should do next only for him to let out a bitter smile as he replied to the apprentice.

"You just arrive here and didn't have the time to look for a place to rent before her condition worse".

There was a little silence between their two before the apprentice decided to speak up.

"Well there is an apartment that hasn't been used for years now in the area where I live, you can rent it now, and don't worry about the bills I will help you talk to him to let you in until you have enough money to pay the rent".

"That can also work, if you don't mind can you lead us there" replied Jason.

With a nod, the apprentice walks out of the hall before leading the way. It took them twelve minutes to get there and the apprentice left to talk to whoever was in charge of the place before coming back after a short time as she unlock the door.

"Quickly put her down here" said the apprentice hurriedly as she wipe away the duct from the bed that was in the room.

Putting his mother down, Jason turn to give the place a look and he could tell that it has really been long since someone has live in the apartment with the whole place being filled with dust and cobweb.

"Do you mind lending me a hand here" said the apprentice as she took the herbs out of the container that they were being kept in.

"What do you want me to do" asked Jason as he went over.

"I will need some liquor to wash the wound first before thinking of getting rid of the poison but I don't have any with me so I was thinking if you have with you or you can go get one" replied the apprentice as she tore the piece that Clara has used to cover the wound.

"I think there should be some here" said Jason before taking the storage ring that belongs to Alex out as he began to search the content and after a while, he took out a jar of liquor before passing it to the apprentice.

Taking the jar, the apprentice instructed him and Hannah to hold their mother tightly before she begin to clean the wound with the liquor while Clara let out a painful moan in her unconscious state. After she was done clearing the wound, she begin to squeeze them together before utilizing her energy to refine them, and before long, a liquid dropped from the herb and fell Into the wound causing Clara's face to twitch a little before there was a sign of relief on her face.

Seeing that everything is done, the apprentice wipes the sweat from her head before getting up as she said.

"She should be able to recover soon enough".

"What about the poison" asked Jason to be certain that the poison is finally gone.

"It will take some time for the medicine to get rid of the poison and her body will begin to heal the wounds on its own. If I am not mistaken, she has tried taking a pill before to heal her wound" said the apprentice.

"That is right but apart from stopping the bleeding, there was nothing else" replied Jason.

"Since that is the case, the effect of the pill is still there, and given some time of reach, she should be fine by tomorrow" said the apprentice with a smile.

"Thank you for your help, I don't know what we would have done if you didn't lend us a hand" Jason and Hannah begin to thank the apprentice.

"It is only natural that I help her since it is within my ability. And by the way, I am Amanda, you can always come to look for me in the physician hall if you need any help" replied Amanda with a smile.

"I am Jason and she is my sister Hannah" said Jason.

"Nice to meet you too, I think I should head back before I get into trouble" reply Amanda.

"Please don't let us hold you back" said Jason.

"I will come check on her condition tomorrow so until then" replied Amanda before rushing out of the place.

Watching as Amanda made her way out of the resident, Jason let out a sigh as he make his way back to take a look at how his mother is faring.

"It is rare to see someone who is willing to help a stranger" said the bracelet.

"I am really grateful to her for saving my mother. And as for those from the phoenix and Wallace families, they should be prepared for what is about to hit them" replied Jason with gritted teeth.

"I don't think you are ready for that yet, maybe you need to keep a low profile for the now until you are capable enough before thinking of taking revenge" advises the bracelet.

"I know that I am weak right now but it won't be long especially those from the phoenix family, I promise to wipe them out of existence without leaving a single being be it an unborn child" said Jason as he clenched his fist together.

"Don't let your anger get to you, just focus on your training and how to manage things here" suggest the bracelet.

While Jason was chatting with the bracelet, Clara let out a groan and Jason has to turn to take a look at her only to see that she was fast asleep with Hannah sleeping beside her soundly.

"Now we need to think of how to get enough spirit stone to pay for the rent" mutter Jason with a sigh.
