A Stay-at-home Dad's Restaurant In An Alternate World - Chapter 1633

Chapter 1633: Hmm… It’s So Warm

“You… really know a place that could cure Darren’s eyes?” Lucy looked at this kind-looking old man hesitantly. However, she had already been recommended four to five doctors after she arrived at Chaos City, and none of them was able to cure Darren’s eyes.

“Yes. Perhaps you might not believe me, but my eyes already couldn’t see what was on the ledger yesterday. Yet today, I can even see the birds singing on a faraway tree. All this is so unbelievable,” Christopher smilingly said with a disbelieving expression.

“Little girl, you don’t have to worry that this old gentleman will lie to you. Abbott Jewelry Store is the biggest jewelry store in Chaos City, and Old Mr. Christopher is a very friendly and helpful gentleman. Perhaps he can really help you,” a lady in luxurious clothes said to Lucy smilingly.

“Madam Kathleen, long time no see.” Christopher nodded at that lady in greeting. She was the jewelry store’s old customer. He often saw her when he was working in the store previously.

Lucy’s eyes glowed again when she heard that. She said to Christopher, “If possible, I beg you to bring us to that place.”

Although they had failed repeatedly in Chaos City, she could still feel a warmth here. Everyone was trying to help them. However, Darren’s problem seemed to be very difficult, so no doctor till now had said that he could cure him.

Christopher flicked a glance at the simple snow sledge at the side, and a hint of pity flashed through his eyes as he gently said, “That place is a little far from here. Leave your snow sledge here, and we will go over there in my horse-drawn carriage.”

“Alright.” Lucy nodded. She pulled Darren along with her as she followed Christopher. She kept looking back at her snow sledge worriedly.

“Little maiden, don’t worry. I will look after the snow sledge for you.” Dr. Adolphus chuckled loudly.

“Thank you so much,” Lucy quickly said gratefully as she was finally relieved.

“Get in.” Christopher helped Darren into the carriage first, and then watched Lucy board before he got in himself.

The horse-drawn carriage with four horses was rather spacious. There were seats on three sides of it, and soft beast skins were laid on them, but both Lucy and Darren were still standing awkwardly.

Christopher sat down, and smilingly said to the two of them, “Have a seat. Why are you two still standing? I can’t sit on all the seats.”

Lucy looked at her beast skin clothes which were dirtied when she fell a few times on her journey here, and shook her head. “We’re very dirty, so we shouldn’t dirty your seats. We can just stand.”

“Child…” Christopher sighed inwardly. This little maiden was about the same age as his granddaughter, but his granddaughter was studying in Chaos School, and had a horse-drawn carriage ferrying her to and back from school every day.

“It’s fine. We can wash them if they are dirtied. Quickly sit down. It’s not safe to stand. It’s no joke if you fall down.” Christopher tried to talk to them as gently as he could.

“Then…” Lucy looked around her, and then pulled Darren down to sit on the carriage’s floor with her. With a bright smile, she said to Christopher, “We can just sit here. It’s also very soft and comfortable.”

The carriage was carpeted, so it was more dirt-resistant than the beast skin cushions.

Christopher looked at the maiden who was smiling brightly and the young boy who had been quiet the whole time in silence, and then smiled. “Alright. Let’s go then.”

The carriage drove away, but it stopped for a while when it passed by a clothing store. Christopher went down, and then returned with two sets of clothes and a pair of red boots.

“Come here, children. Change into these clothes first. The weather is cold, don’t catch a chill.” Christopher handed the clothes and shoes to Lucy before he walked out of the carriage. “I will be waiting out here. Tell me when you are done.”

Lucy looked at the colorful clothes and bright red shoes, and then shook her head. “Mr. Christopher, we have clothes, and we’re not cold at all.”

“Little girl, you are almost the same age as my granddaughter, so just take it as grandpa giving you two little gifts. I will bring you there to look at your eyes after you change your clothes,” Christopher said smilingly before he got out of the carriage, and let down the curtain.

“Sister.” Darren turned toward Lucy, and shyly said, “Mr. Christopher is really a good man.”

“Yes. He’s just like Grandpa.” Lucy nodded. She looked sad when he mentioned their grandfather.

“If only Grandpa was here.” Darren also pursed his lips.

“It’s fine. Grandpa will also be very happy if we can cure your eyes. Let’s change our clothes first so we don’t have to worry about dirtying Mr. Christopher’s carriage.” Lucy swiftly changed the topic, and then helped Darren change into his clothes.

This was a set of dark blue cotton clothes. It was a little too big for Darren, but he looked much more energetic after he changed into it.

“It’s so warm. These clothes are so comfortable.” Darren lifted his hands up, and revealed a rare smile.

Lucy also removed the dirty beast skin top and pants on her body, and put on the soft cotton top and pants. She felt as if she was engulfed in warm bedding, and it was so comfortable that she felt very sleepy.

Her clothes were very fitting as if they were custom-made for her. The outerwear was a white beast skin long coat, and it was different from her rough beast skin coat. This long coat was very soft and comfortable. It should’ve been made from some kind of magic beast’s fur. It had to be an existence that even the best hunter in the village dared not trifled with.

Lucy only reached out to touch that long coat before folding it up neatly, and placing it on a seat at the side. Her gaze landed on that pair of red leather boots.

What a beautiful pair of boots. The amazing workmanship, the red shoes’ surface, the black soles, and a layer of soft brown fur in the shoes. Even the best shoemaker in the village couldn’t have made such a beautiful pair of shoes.

She lowered her head to look at her feet. Her red and frozen toes were sticking out from the holes in the straw shoes, and they looked rather funny.

Can I accept such valuable gifts? Lucy was a little conflicted, and her eyes were stuck on the pair of red shoes.

“Are you guys done?” Christopher’s voice could be heard outside of the carriage.

I cannot hold Darren up from seeking help. Lucy picked up that pair of red shoes with a swoosh. She swiftly removed her straw shoes, and put on the new boots.

Hmm… It’s so warm.

Lucy’s eyes lit up. She felt as if her feet, which were already numb from the coldness, were placed into a warm oven instantly.
