A Second Life, A New Power novel Chapter 148

"Why don't you guys drop me off here? I can take a taxi myself," Demi suggested.

"No way! If Mr. West finds out, he'll definitely kill me!" Felix said half-jokingly.

Hearing that, she had no choice but to accept his help.

…

Half an hour later, Demi and Felix arrived at the biggest bookstore in Lynora City—Cartroan Bookstore.

Felix wasn't the only one accompanying Demi as the driver was tagging along. Since it wasn't easy for Felix to move around, the driver had to be there to take care of him.

After they entered the bookstore, Demi headed straight to the traditional medicine section. Felix thought she would be getting some highly complicated books, but she just returned with the basic ones he had seen before.

For example, there were Fundamentals of Traditional Medicine, Traditional Medicine Index Records, Herbs 101, and more. In the end, she basically got all the university textbooks on traditional medicine in her basket.

"Ms. Demi, aren't these books a little too simple for you?" Felix couldn't help commenting.

Thinking how much of an expert she was, he didn't understand why she would grab simple books like those. Then, he wondered if Margaret was telling the truth when she said Demi had only learned medicine for a year.

However, it didn't make sense at all. Even if Demi had only studied for a year, with her medical skills, he thought she didn't need to learn the basics anymore.

"Well, not really," Demi answered while she continued searching for more books.

This time, she got herself The Pros and Cons of All Medicine, Future of Medical Science, Combination of Modern and Traditional Medicine, Coexistence of All Medicine, and all the other books she could find on traditional and modern medicine.

As they continued walking, they arrived at the modern medicine section of the store. She glanced at the books there and decided to learn more about modern medicine as well. So, she got herself more books and took all the university textbooks.

Meanwhile, Felix was stunned to see how many different books she was getting. He didn't understand why she would want to learn more about modern medicine when she seemed to hate it a lot.

"I'm done. Let's go now," she said, letting out a long breath.

"Have you gotten everything you need?" asked Felix. "If not, I can ask Seamus to help you look for the rest."

"These will have to do for now. I'll think about the rest next time," she said. If she weren't worried about wasting Felix's time, she would've continued browsing the books slowly. She would even explore the other sections and buy something else entirely. For example, she wanted to check out some novels too.

She loved reading in the past. Unfortunately, she didn't have the time and money at all back then. However, things were different now, and she finally had both. So, she decided to come back for them again next time.
