Leon and the others all turned to look at Romano.
The unfamiliar young man met everyone's gaze and smiled:
"Ha, I knew you'd be here, Mr. Sapina. I went to your home, but your father said you had... ah, gone out. So Father Carlo suggested I come look for you here."
When Romano Sapina saw who it was, he was secretly delighted and hurried forward to greet him:
"I'm very sorry to waste your precious time, Baron Viedon. Did you need me for something…"
"Your 'Preparatory Physician' application has been approved." Viedon took out a document and handed it over. "Once these registrations are completed, you'll officially be the Preparatory Physician for Meidion Parish."
The "Preparatory Physician" he mentioned was the official title for France's version of a barefoot doctor.
Sapina accepted the registration papers, his hands trembling with excitement: "This, this is really... thank you so much!"
