The Lady Nun Vows Revenge novel Chapter 57

Chapter 57

“Alright, since you don’t like it, I won’t say anything more.” Mary parted Eliza’s head while checking her homework, speaking casually. “By the way. I need you to come down the mountain with me soon.”

“Huh” Can I really go with you, Mary!” Eliza’s mood, which had been lukewarm before, immediately sparked as her eyes brightened

“Of course Mary smiled. “There’s a patient down the mountain who needs me to take a look.”

Mary hesitated for a moment, then added. “But her identity might be a bit awkward for you”

“Who?” Eliza asked curiously

“It’s Evelyn Nevill,” Mary said.

Eliza immediately understood Mary’s concern. Evelyn was the grandmother of Caleb, Eliza’s former fiancé.

Eliza smiled. “Madam Nevill? It’s fine, Mary. I’ve already broken off the engagement with the Marquis’s estate. Since I’m not going to see Caleb specifically, there’s nothing to worry about”

“Good girl, I’m glad you can see it that way.” Mary had been worried about how Eliza would take it

Mary had heard that Eliza and Caleb had been childhood sweethearts with a deep bond. Sadly, Caleb had broken Eliza’s heart.

If it weren’t for the favors Evelyn had done for her in the past, Mary wouldn’t have agreed to this.

Seeing that Mary seemed relieved, Eliza couldn’t help but smile. “Mary, you’ve been agonizing over this for a while, haven’t you?”

“Yes” Mary gestured to her face. “Look at how haggard I look. I couldn’t sleep a wink last night.”

Today, Mary had noticed that Eliza was in a bad mood. To help lift her spirits, Mary thought taking her down the mountain for a change of pace might be the right thing to do. She had planned to avoid bringing up the subject altogether.

Eliza waved it off dismissively. “It’s fine, Mary, I really don’t care about it anymore.”

“And you’ve taught me before, haven’t you? We should cut out all these messy emotions and focus on meditation. Love is part of that too,” Eliza said seriously.

Mary was instantly amused by Eliza’s earnest expression. “Alright, since you don’t care anymore, let’s go down the mountain and take a look. “Madam Nevill has had a heart condition for years. She used to manage it well, but now that she’s older, it flares up more often. You can stay with mr and watch how I handle the consultation. If we finish early, I’ll give you some free time to explore the town. How does that sound?”

“Great That wounds wonderful. Thank you, Mary!” Eliza was overjoyed and hugged Mary tightly, rubbing her cheek against her in excitement. Eliza’s cute gesture made Mary’s heart melt.

Mary couldn’t help but wonder. Why don’t the Duke of Mowbay and his family like such a lovely girl! I remember she was the jewel of the Duke’s estate. But now, with Sophie’s interference, the Stonor family has all changed

Soon enough, the day to go down the mountain arrived,

Eliza parked a small bag, slung it over her shoulder, and followed Mary of

Since they were both practicing asceticism, there was no carriage to take them down. They walked all the way down the mountain fose, hailed a man’s na–cart, giving them a few coim in exchange for a ride toward Hasen City.
