[GL] Black Gold

Chapter 12

Camie made it to the pharmacy in three minutes instead of ten. Even she was impressed by this. Seeing her in such a rush, the pharmacist looked at her with questioning eyes:

"Is everything okay, Camie?"

The latter needed a few seconds to calm down before she could talk:

"Hello, Miss Dahlia. Everything is fine. Could you please get me painkillers? The strongest one possible. Oh and something to disinfect wounds.

-Are you hurt? What happened?

-Oh, no. It's not for me.

-Camie...

-I swear! I am completely fine. It's for one of my friends. She got badly injured because of the villain attack.

-Then she should come see me. Or a professional. Why haven't you come sooner? The attack was hours ago.

-She can't come here. I have to go to her. She didn't want to get treated."

The pharmacist sighed.

"Okay... How bad are her injuries?

-Like... Getting shot by an arrow?

-What?

-It's just a comparison! It's very similar.

-What kind of friends do you have?

-It's a long story...

-Does your friend have any allergies?

-I don't think so."

Miss Dahlia sighed again but didn't ask anymore and rushed to get something in the back room. When she came back, she put five boxes in front of Camie on the table:

"This is for the pain. She shouldn't take more than three per day and she should wait 6 hours in between. If it's not enough she should take one of these."

She showed another box and Camie was trying her best to focus.

"This one is very strong so you should be careful. No alcohol with this and no paracetamol. Never."

Camie quickly nodded.

"No paracetamol. Got it.

-This one is the disinfectant. The wound can't come into contact with water for at least three days. If it starts turning yellow she really should go to the emergency room. The best would be to go even now to make sure that she didn't fracture any bones."

Camie shook her head:

"I will tell her but I don't think she will listen. What are the two other boxes?

-This is a cream. It's very good for healing and this one is a painkiller in a cream form. It could help her with itching and she can apply it six times per day.

-Thank you so much! This is a huge help!

-Wait. She should take vitamins as well."

Miss Dahlia handed Camie three more boxes before finally looking a bit satisfied.

"Thank you for your help. How much will it be.

-Don't worry about it. Hurry to your friend.

-No. I will pay."

But Miss Dahlia was adamant:

"Go. You should be by her side. And be grateful that I didn't call an ambulance. There won't be a next time.

-Yes! Thank you so much! I promise I will pay you back.

-Go.

-Have a nice day, Miss Dahlia!"
