The girl was shocked when Devin quickly began to figure out why she would not take the blanket. Did he truly have so much money that he did not have to worry about a blanket? Though with the snow there was no way it would stay dry to keep her from getting worse. Each time her body shook from the cough she felt worse seeing Devin uncomfortable. She tried to get enough air to respond shocking her head gently trying to calm his fears.
“It is not that anything is wrong with the blanket. It's just, like I said about the medicine I have no money to pay for such an item. Not a place to keep it dry with the cold here now. I'm afraid it would do me no good,” Alyssia explained and looked at the older man gently, “I'm sorry I do not mean to make your home somewhere you are uncomfortable because of me.”
The girl gently slid down so that she was standing gingerly taking the medicine making sure not to touch Devin. She did not want her illness to be passed to the man if she could help it. Her body shakes once again only a yawn appeared to over taken her that time rather than a cough. Rubbing her eyes the girl was quickly running out of the energy her previous sleep had provided. It was a relief when Devin agreed to let her work for him in exchange for the medicine. A tired yet sincere smile appeared on the young teens face.
“Thank you for allowing me to work off my debt. I will do anything you wish of me. Just let me know when I need to arrive,” Alyssia explained and bowed at the waist.
Though it was not like her to bow, it somehow just felt right. She could not explain why even if he were to ask her. The teen did not like having to bow to anyone because it was a sign of ownership where she was from. But this time the feeling was one of respect for the young doctor before her. The girl jerked back upright when Devin suggested he could buy her a room.
“Oh no! Please I have bothered you enough with the medicine. I could never ask you to spend even more money on me. You have done more than I could have ever asked. Thank you for seeing me, even though I should have been honest about the money to start with,” Alyssia explained to hopefully clear any confusion for him.
