Had Bireta not come to Sharti’s house to bring her things when she was returning to the cave, Sharti might not have been able to hide both the man and the cave.
“Right. You went to the cave, didn’t you? When I went there earlier, it had completely collapsed.”
Bireta pounded her bent back.
Relieved that the man’s presence hadn’t been exposed, Sharti smiled awkwardly.
“But Sha, child, what’s with your appearance? Did you run into the soldiers?”
Sharti waved her hand in response to Bireta’s blunt but worried tone.
Bireta carefully examined Sharti’s condition.
“Hmm… your breathing is not disturbed. Well, it’s unlikely soldiers could find you in the middle of the night.”
Bireta patted Sharti’s head, hidden in her hood, with an air of pride. Sharti grinned from under the hood.
Bireta’s hands, calloused and rough, still conveyed warmth and affection.
“…….”
Then, Bireta glanced at the fermentation shed, avoiding Sharti’s eyes.
‘Did you get the request done well, Birena?’
“Yes, I did. Those fools made me go all the way there, so I made sure to charge them well. Was the bread good?”
‘Thank you, Grandma. But from now on, you don’t have to worry about me. Give it to Birena and Tain. They’re growing kids.’
“Yes, yes.”
Bireta laughed off Sharti’s nagging.
“Oh, by the way. I stopped by that mountain village on my way down. If someone from there comes looking for you, Sha, and asks for help, refuse them outright.”
“…….”
“Those disrespectful folks! Bargain down prices, make me work hard, create more work, and talk too much! Agh! Such shameless people!”
Bireta’s wrinkled face turned even more grim.
Sharti looked troubled. As a valuable doctor in the mountain village, she often received house call requests from other villages.
The problem was, unlike Bireta’s village, other mountain communities were not welcoming to outsiders.
“Sha, never go there. Those ungrateful people need to learn their lesson!”
It seemed Bireta had built up a lot of frustration over time.
Sharti quickly nodded.
As the conversation lengthened, she felt as if she could sense the man’s gaze from inside the shed.
“Alright, alright. If someone from there comes looking for me, tell them to see me. Got it?”
‘I will.’
Sharti’s prompt response made Bireta glance towards the shed.
“Alright then, I’ll be on my way.”
As Sharti moved to see her off, Bireta shook her head.
“What danger could there be for me on the mountain path, even for a grandson?”
Declining any treatment as an elderly lady, Bireta briskly left.
As soon as Bireta’s figure vanished from sight, Sharti quickly opened the shed door.
“…….”
“…….”
The moment the door opened and fresh air rushed in, the pale-faced man inside staggered.
Sharti hurriedly approached and supported him.
Their turquoise eyes met in a heavy gaze.
“……Just… go… inside…”
The man, who had endured loneliness in the dark cave and suppressed his breathing while hiding behind the rock, was defeated by Sharti’s special fermented herbal scent.
“…….”
Sharti did her best to support the man and headed towards the house.
Creak… Opening the door of the wooden house, they were immediately enveloped by a cozy atmosphere.
‘Just sit here and wait for a moment.’
Sharti pointed to a small, one-person sofa with a fluffy blanket on it.
“It’s going to smell.”
The man hesitated to sit, wary of the pungent fermented herb scent and mud all over him.
Seeing the cozy interior, he didn’t want to dirty it.
‘Laundry will do the trick.’
Sharti nonchalantly noted that the man’s scent wasn’t too pungent.
“….I prefer the floor.”
The man stubbornly chose a spot on the floor where no carpet was laid.
Sharti let him be and headed to the bathroom.
Left alone, the man glanced around the house.
“Clearly her house.”
Herbs, recipes, medical books, and potion bottles were scattered throughout, making it look more like a workspace than a home.
“…….”
The man carefully positioned himself to avoid getting his dirt on anything. Despite his efforts, his large size made it almost pointless.
While Sharti washed her hands in the bathroom, she couldn’t help but smile at the sight.
‘Thank goodness I bought the magic stone.’
She took out the magic stone she had successfully purchased for a fortnight and fitted it into the bathtub frame.
As the stone heated up, it began to warm the tub. Sharti added a few herbs and herb powders with aromatic effects to the water.
When the water became lukewarm, she removed the magic stone and gestured to the man.
‘You wash first.’
She communicated through a written note, now using paper and pencil since they were home.
“….Alright.”
The man, who had instinctively extended his palm, withdrew his hand, hiding his disappointment, and nodded.
Thud. Once Sharti left, he examined the bath. It was a herbal bath with a faint leafy scent.
He began to undress, starting with his muddy robe. Just as he was about to remove his pants:
Knock, knock.
“….!”
Startled by the sound, he froze.
“Why… is she coming back in?”
Perplexed, he frowned as Sharti re-entered the bathroom.
‘I have to check if your wound has reopened.’
Reading the note, the man’s expression turned somewhat sour.
“….So you’re going to check and then leave?”
Sharti nodded calmly.
‘You can’t wash your back alone.’
The man touched his forehead.
He was troubled by her naive lack of caution.
To her, he was nothing more than a patient.
“My arms aren’t injured. I don’t need help. I can wash myself. There’s no rupture.”
Suppressing his emotion, the man quickly refused and turned away from her.

“I’ve given birth to two children for you, yet you still think about him.
Was I nothing but his substitute to you from beginning to end?”
