Sweet Mischief’s Rollercoaster Romance novel Chapter 1344

Maja took the diploma, examining it closely, and realized it was real. “Sorry, I’m just used to being careful,” she admitted.

Dean nodded. “I get it. That injury on your back isn’t exactly a paper cut.”

While recuperating at Willow Creek, Maja gradually regained her strength and could finally walk around. She was eager to leave, but Dean, ever the caring healer, persuaded her to stay a few more days to make sure she was truly okay.

During her time there, Maja discovered that Dean was basically the village’s go-to guy for everything.

If someone’s fence needed mending, Dean showed up with his toolbox. If a neighbor’s cow wandered off, Dean would be out with a lantern in the middle of the night looking for it. If anyone needed help, their first stop was Dean’s door. He was known as the local doctor, but half the time, he was helping out with things that had nothing to do with medicine.

Yet, when it came to animals, he was always the first to help. Sick pig? Dean would come by and give it a shot. Dog covered in fleas? He’d sort it out. Chicken acting weird? Dean would check for bird flu. Strangely enough, he’d hardly ever treated people—at least, not until Maja showed up.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Wait, am I your first real patient?”

Dean chuckled, a little embarrassed. “You’re definitely the first one I’ve had to actually use a scalpel on.”

Maja was getting ready to leave again when someone knocked on the door, shouting in the local accent, “Dean, you home?”

“Uncle Adam, yeah, come on in!” Dean called back, opening the door for the older man.

The man stepped inside, surprised to see a woman there. He glanced at Dean, eyebrows raised. “Is this your girlfriend?” he teased, clearly jumping to conclusions.

Maja didn’t understand the local language, so she just looked on, but Dean quickly explained, “No, she’s just a patient, Uncle Adam. What’s going on?”

The older man, clearly anxious, quickly explained why he’d come.

Dean grabbed his medical bag. “Um…” He realized he didn’t know Maja’s full name, but just smiled and breezed past it. “I need to go check on someone. It’s a bit far, so don’t wait up. There’s food in the kitchen, help yourself.”
