Stuck in an Island with Twelve Beautiful Women-Chapter 404 - 406
The man looked bemused but sympathetic. "Doctors? We don't have any here. But there's a skilled healer who resides on the outskirts of the village," he replied, his brow furrowing in thought.
Relief washed over Jude as he received the information. "Could you please direct me to this healer? My wife is in pain, and she's pregnant," Jude explained, desperation coloring his words.
The man nodded sympathetically. "Of course. Follow the path beyond the eastern boundary of the market. You'll find a modest house nestled amidst the trees. That's where the healer, Nyla, resides," he directed, offering Jude a reassuring smile.
With gratitude, Jude hastened in the direction indicated by the passerby, the urgency of the situation propelling him forward. He navigated through the bustling market, weaving past vendors and shoppers, until he reached the outskirts of the village.
The path beyond the eastern boundary led Jude through a verdant landscape dotted with quaint cottages and lush foliage. Soon, he spotted the modest house nestled amidst a grove of ancient trees, a sanctuary amidst the lively hum of the village.
Approaching the door with a sense of urgency, Jude knocked firmly, his heart pounding with apprehension. Moments later, the door creaked open to reveal a woman with kind eyes and weathered hands, the healer, Nyla.
"How may I assist you?" Nyla inquired, her gaze flickering with curiosity.
Jude's words tumbled out in a rush. "My wife is experiencing intense pain in her abdomen. She's pregnant, and we were told you are a skilled healer," he explained, his voice laced with urgency.
Nyla's expression softened with compassion. "Okay I'll come with you right away," she urged, her tone imbued with a sense of purpose.

Jude hurried back to the shelter, where Natalie lay cradling her swollen belly, her face etched with discomfort. "Natalie, we've found a healer. She will come here shortly, do not worry honey everything is going to be just fine" Jude said gently, helping his wife to her feet.
Nayla came to the shelter to take a look at Natalie, but she stopped at a short distance from the shelter. To their surprise, upon reaching the healer's doorstep, Nyla paused, her gaze unfocused.
"It's strange," Nyla murmured, her brow furrowed. "I cannot see your house." she explained, her voice tinged with curiosity.
Jude exchanged a puzzled glance with his companions, realizing that their shelter existed beyond the realm of ordinary perception, an enigma amidst the fabric of reality.
Setting aside the mystery for the moment, Jude focused on the immediate concern at hand. Jude realised it's the island trying to hide the shelter he took Natalie to the house right next to them and brought Nyla to her. Nyla ushered them inside their humble house, where the air was infused with the scent of healing herbs and warmth.
Natalie was gently guided to a comfortable seat, where Nyla conducted a thorough examination with practiced hands. The healer's touch was gentle yet purposeful, her demeanor a blend of empathy and professionalism.
After a few moments, Nyla's expression softened with reassurance. "It's not as dire as it seems," she began, her voice calm yet authoritative. "The pain Natalie is experiencing is likely due to a bad digestion problem exacerbated by her pregnancy. The growing baby is putting pressure on her digestive system, causing discomfort," she explained, her words a balm to Jude's anxious heart.
Natalie sighed with relief, her features relaxing slightly. Layla, Susan, and Sophie offered words of encouragement, their concern palpable yet tempered by Nyla's reassuring diagnosis.
"The remedy is simple," Nyla continued, retrieving a small vial of herbal tonic from a nearby shelf. "This tonic will soothe her stomach and alleviate the discomfort. She should rest and avoid heavy meals," she advised, handing the vial to Jude.
Gratitude washed over Jude as he accepted the tonic, his gaze meeting Nyla's with heartfelt appreciation. "Thank you, Nyla. Your expertise is a blessing," he expressed sincerely, his voice filled with gratitude.
Nyla smiled warmly, her eyes crinkling at the corners. "It is my duty to aid those in need," she replied humbly, her demeanor a testament to her dedication as a healer.
With Natalie's condition stabilized and reassurance from Nyla, Jude felt a weight lifted from his shoulders. He thanked the healer once more before they departed, her words of wisdom echoing in his mind.
As they made their way back to the shelter, Layla, Susan, and Sophie enveloped Natalie in a comforting embrace, their solidarity a testament to the bonds forged through shared trials.
Amidst the lingering mysteries of Starlam Island, Jude found solace in the companionship of his allies and the kindness of strangers like Nyla, a beacon of hope amidst the tumultuous currents of their unfolding journey.
With each step forward, Jude embraced the uncertainties of their path with renewed resolve, guided by the unwavering belief that compassion and empathy were the cornerstones of their shared destiny amidst the enigmatic tapestry of Starlam Island.
After Jude and others went to the shelter Nyla went back to her house. Jude didn't forget to pay her worth. As Nyla made her way back to her modest abode after tending to Natalie's discomfort, her thoughts were occupied by the encounter with Jude and his companions. The healer's heart swelled with satisfaction knowing she had provided aid to those in need, her hands guided by the wisdom of her craft.
The path leading to Nyla's house was shrouded in the gentle embrace of twilight, the air alive with the whispers of evening. Her footsteps echoed softly against the cobblestone path, a soothing cadence that mirrored the calm settling within her.
Upon reaching her doorstep, Nyla paused to draw a breath of tranquility, the scent of herbs lingering in the air. As she prepared to enter her sanctuary, a figure approached, a soldier clad in the regal insignia of Emperor Edmond's army.
Nyla wondered why a soldier stoping her from walking the path. What do he need from her? Why is his face looks like a serious crime happened? Questions started coliding in on each other inside her mind…
