“Of course, I don’t mind.” The woman raised her head and looked into the distance. Then she pointed her finger uphill. “It’s over there p>
Perigoda was indeed a real place.
Annabel was overjoyed. “Would we be able to get there if we leave now p>
“What’s your business in Perigoda?” There was a hint of suspicion in the woman’s eyes. “Why are you bent on going there despite the snow p>
“We are looking for someone.” The smile on Annabel’s face became more pronounced.
“Let me guess… You are going there in search of Chayce, aren’t you?” the woman asked knowingly.
Chayce!
Annabel’s heart skipped a beat at the name.
“Yes, he is the one.” Annabel nodded. “Can you tell us how to find him, please p>
“Come in, please.” The woman invited them into her house.
“Madam, can you please tell us about Chayce?” Anika could tell that Annabel was very anxious about finding the doctor.
“He is a very strange fellow who insists on staying in Perigoda for no reason.” The woman handed her visitors a cup of hot coffee each. “Whenever the weather is good, he comes down the mountain to treat sick villagers. Not only is he an amazing doctor, but also a good person p>

The sooner Chayce got to him, the earlier Bruce would wake up from his coma.

“Anika, how about you stay here?” Annabel said. “I’ll go find him p>
“Do you want me to just let you go up the mountain all by yourself? That’s not going to happen! Why not hold on until tomorrow? Perhaps the snow will stop by then,” Anika replied.
“I’m afraid Bruce can’t wait,” Annabel said firmly.
“But p>
Anika wanted to say something, but Annabel stopped her. “Just wait here. If I don’t come back in time, then you can inform the right people to come and look for me p>
