In the Medicine Market, the shops and stalls were exquisite, each with its own unique name like 'Zen
Haven' or 'Blissful Oasis.' They were all about attracting good luck and positive vibes.
Each shop was more or less the same, but one would have a more extensive stock of specific
remedies.
And each shop had its own prized possession, a showstopper of sorts. However, these items weren't
readily available for sale. They were more like attention-grabbers, meant to impress the doctors and
highlight the shop's expertise.
The regulars who frequented the market knew all the ins and outs of these shops. And Elisa was one of
them. She had a mental catalog of all the herbs she needed.
With Gareth by her side, they weaved through the shops and stalls. Elisa effortlessly handpicked the
finest herbs, almost like she had some special ability.
How did Gareth learn that Elisa had a knack for selecting the best herbs? Well, he knew it from those
shop owners. Whenever they saw Elisa, they would commend her for her expertise in the medical field.

didn't waste time beating around the bush.
Some shop owners recognized her and knew she preferred a no-nonsense approach. They respected
her and occasionally added a little extra to her purchases as a token of appreciation.
And so, with Elisa leading the way, Gareth was taken on a comprehensive tour of the Medicine Market,
exploring every nook and cranny to his heart's content.
The first day of shopping ended, and as they returned to the hotel, Gareth carried bags of various
sizes.
Elisa reached out to take the things from Gareth's hands, but he evaded her gesture.
Elisa furrowed and said, "You're injured. Let me help you."
"I'm fine."
"You..."
"I know my limits. Let's go."
It was a unique occurrence for Gareth to be summoned and take a backseat instead of being in charge.
If Thomas were around, he would undoubtedly understand that Gareth had accepted it willingly, without
any complaints or hard feelings. If others were to see this, they would be shocked.
The hotel was located within the Medicine Market, established by the market association.
Unfortunately, many people were coming to the hotel.
With more demand than availability, the consequences were predictable.
Many people couldn't secure a room but had to accept the reality. To avoid missing the early market the
next day, they had to choose between waking up early or finding the nearest hotel to stay in.
Some even resorted to sleeping in their parked cars outside the Medicine Market. Regardless of the
situation, an early rise was necessary.
However, Elisa was experienced and always had a reserved suite with two rooms in the hotel.
"Quite a splurge," Gareth couldn't help but tease as they rode the elevator.
Elisa gave him a quizzical glance.

Gareth elaborated, "This is the only hotel available in this highly sought Medicine Market. There must
be a good reason why you always have a room reserved here. I bet you've paid for a year's room fees
or even more."
Elisa was taken aback by his accurate guess.
After the silence, Elisa smiled, "Well, looks like a classic case of 'outdoing the master.' My level of
indulgence can't hold a candle to Mr. Wickam's. I only want a cozy spot to rest while battling it out for
those precious herbs,"
Coincidentally, the elevator reached the 38th floor, and she stepped out first, swiping the card to enter
the room.
The room wasn't extravagant, but it was tastefully decorated. It boasted two bedrooms, two living
rooms, and a petite kitchen. It could easily pass as a presidential suite.
Being thoughtful and tactful, Gareth didn't ask for the larger room. However, there was a lingering
question in his mind that he hadn't voiced yet.
As evening fell and dinnertime approached, they were too preoccupied to pay attention to anything
else. To their surprise, the hotel delivered a romantic candlelit dinner for two, creating an enchanting
ambiance.
