142 The old world knowledge

She never thought that there was another story between her story when she looks at the beautiful Yasmine, the beautiful pregnant Yasmine.

Smiling at Anne, she tells her about how she wasn’t expected to be pregnant after a one-night stand with Xavier. Hearing this makes her heart ache, but for the sake of Yasmine’s mental well-being, she stays and tried to focus on her story.

“I mean, you can see how I was so much in love with him. Just look at his body… Not to mention his ruggedly handsome face.” Yasmine keeps talking while Anne checks on her body, our poor heroine just smile at her. Then, Yasmine tells her about the day, “Two months ago, we were fallen into the wagon, he passed out on the table, that’s when I asked the pub owner to lend us the room, I mean I don’t want the poor guy to be Ill.” Yasmine took a sigh, and smile at Anne, “I mean what can I say, one thing leads to another, right, miss healer?.”

Anne stopped for a while and stared at Yasmine. She couldn’t believe her eyes. The girl knew something about her and definitely knew Anne’s history with Xavier. She cleared her throat, and gave her evaluation to the helper, Yasmine, however, keep maintaining her smile throughout Anne’s routine check-up.

“Alright, I will prescribe some tonic and probably it will be good for you and your pregnancy.” Said Anne with a flat tone.

“Thank you so much, miss healer. I’m sure Xavier and I will be glad that you’re taking good care of this child.” Yasmine said to Anne, with her hands holding onto the tummy.

When Anne and her helper were walking outside into the corridor, the helper gruntled with his head still turn at Yasmine’s room.

“Seriously, miss, everyone can see how she was gloating about her condition. Didn’t you see how she practically danced gleefully on her mind because she gets what she wants by trapping a man into a relationship.” The helper was still muttering while strutting into Xavier’s room.

Anne was amused by his behavior. She tried to give the helper some of her insight. “I think both of them weren’t meant for it to be happening.”

.....

The helper gawked at her, “I am sorry, miss, but I can assure you, the woman from the previous room, meant everything to be happening. You just hope the poor man inside of this room knows what to do with this situation.”

“Thank you for your concern, but It’s not like he knows nothing about it. This is sir Xavier’s decision, not mine.” Anne tried to convince the helper before entering another room, although how an arrogant smile coming from Yasmine’s face still bothered her so much.

One hour later, inside the canteen with a sandwich and moomilk on the table, Anne couldn’t forget Xavier’s expression back then when Anne revealed that she already knew about Yasmine’s pregnancy. Was it a disappointment that Anne saw from his eyes? She took sighed and finished her lunch in a hurry.

“Oh, miss healer, you have time to eat. That’s good.” Anne looks up to see the helper that had been with her for the rest of her shift. He smiles widely and sits in the opposite direction of her. “So nice to meet you again. My name is Marty, if you were wondering.”

With a little scratch on her head, and awkwardly smile at the helper named Marty, “Yes, nice to meet you, Marty, err… yeah, just got some time to eat.”

Gasping at Anne, Marty looks at the chosen menu of our heroine. “Wait, this is your first meal of the day? I mean…” He look at the large moonsun dial on the wall and gasped dramatically, “Nine o’clock in the evening?!”

The healers and the helpers turned around to see who was the one that makes a ruckus inside the canteen. Anne needs to duck her head in shame. Marty, on the other hand, still enjoying the array of delicacies on his plate.

“Don’t worry Marty, I ate something at lunch, so I will be fine. Thank you for your concern.” Said Anne to the amusingly noisy gentleman in front of her. She did eat something, three moomilk candies and a piece of bread before she got called for another emergency.

“Miss Anne, I don’t want to barge in into anyone’s problem, but I was a bit curious.” Marty looks at her and with a small grin on his face he said, “But could I ask something?”

Knowing Marty’s behavior, she already knew what exactly he was going to ask. “Alright, something is inside your mind? Marty?”

Looking around the canteen, he whispered to Anne, trying to keep it between the two of them. “That… young woman, Yasmine, the one in the observation room, I was curious about her story… I don’t know, miss, but she seems obsessed with, you know, your friend, Xavier.”

“Well, you don’t say.” Anne chuckles while sipping on her moomilk. She shakes her head at Marty, “Could I please ask you to stop bothering miss Yasmine? I mean, she’s a patient, and so does sir Xavier, their problem is not mine.”

“But… miss, from the looks of how miss Yasmine was talking, sir, Xavier probably was being trapped,” Marty said desperately to Anne.

“Marty, we already check on her. She is, in fact, pregnant.” Anne had enough of this. She took her tray and said goodbye to Marty.

Walking outside from the canteen, she opts to go to get some rest. Inside the resting area, she met Leo, who was trying to sleep above her bed. He smiles at Anne with a letter in his hand.

“Hey, how’s your day? I heard it was becoming quite a drama for you?”

Anne rolled her eyes and drop herself to the bunk bed below Leo. “Ugh, please don’t remind me about it. I need to take some good rest now.”

“Don’t worry, you will sleep like a newborn, even if it’s just for a short time.” Said Leo with a chuckle. There were no sounds for a moment, and then he said something to Anne, “By the way, do you ever assist in any labor when you were on your journey of finding yourself?”

“What? a journey of finding myself? What kind of…” She gets out of her bunk bed and looks at Leo who was sleeping above her bed, “Right… Haha, so funny Leo, anyhow, yes I was helping a young woman in labor when I was in my… journey of finding myself.”

“Then you do know something about an early month labor, right?” Asked Leo to her.

Early month labor is the equivalent of premature labor in Anne’s old world. She was familiar with the terms, although she had never assisted a premature birth before. It makes her curious and wanted to know more about this question that came from Leo.

“I never assisted one, but I know something about it. What’s the matter?”

Leo sighed and looks at her, “My friend, a healer in another town, told me that he almost got in trouble because of a strange date of one of his assisted labor, he was so sure the child was fully developed and the mother wasn’t an early month labor.”

“Let me guess? She was recently getting married to the father of the child?” Said Anne with a smirk.

“Yes! That’s why he was questioning the real date of the consummation, because the mother’s family was trying to get him in jail. Which is ridiculous.” Leo gruntled while he continued to read the content on the paper.

“Wait… the date of the consummation?” Anne was muttering, like she was just remembering something important, “Oh my God, you’re right, Leo! Thank you.” She practically screamed and hurry out of the room, leaving Leo in a confusion.

She run into the helper’s room and hoped to see someone familiar inside. Thankfully, Marty was inside, having a laugh with his fellow helpers. She called for him, and when they were in the corridor’s corner, she admitted something to Marty.

“You’re right, I was bothered by how miss Yasmine seems doing something to Xavier, I am sorry that I was kind of…”

Marty raised his right hand to stop Anne. “It’s quite alright miss Anne, I totally understand that you don’t want to abrupt their privacy, so… what’s up?”

“I need your help to do some testing to determine how far along miss Yasmine’s pregnancy is.” Said Anne while she took a deep breath.
