The de Lara's family doctor was an old, senior doctor in Barasca. He was also the one who had examined Mr. Powel when he was still alive.
Because of the message left by the former Duke, who was Joanna's grandfather, to ask the doctor to keep on attending to the medical needs of Mr. Powel until his last breath, he strengthened himself to go to the mountain despite his depleted vitality, even though he was always escorted by Barasca knights on horse riding.
However, when Mr. Powel had rested for eternity, it was definitely impossible to ask him to treat another patient in the Powel Orphanage.
Aside from the fact that his residence was in the city, which was about six to eight hours from West Lane Mountain, without a long prior notice, particularly a sudden call, it would only result in a decline from the senior doctor. And Joanna could not blame him for that, recalling the effort he had made to treat Mr. Powel.
