No matter how innocent their relationship was, others would not see it that way. Keeping a proper distance was necessary. At least, that was how Eliza:

After reclaiming his horse, Nolan led the Black Flag in escorting Eliza and Mary back

Eliza leaned against the carriage window, watching the bustling streets outside.

She had already troubled Nolan enough today, so she had refrained from suggesting they stop for a stroll

Mary, sitting beside her, seemed to see through her thoughts. She reached out and patted Eliza's head gently.noveldrama

Mary wondered, 'Next time, I will make sure to bring Serenity down the mountain again just to enjoy a proper outing. And this time, I will not stop along the way to treat patients. I will stay by her side the entire time just in case some fool decides to cause trouble again.

What Mary did not know was that the very same thought had crossed Nolan's mind as well.

A moment earlier, as the carriage passed through the liveliest streets of Hasen City, Nolan had glanced back

That was when he caught sight of a certain someone leaning against the window, her face full of excitement as she eagerly took in the lively scene outside.

Even after the carriage had passed the bustling area. Eliza could not help but crane her neck for one last look before reluctantly pulling herself back in.

But as soon as she turned around, she locked eyes with Nolan.

Eliza's face instantly flushed red, and she quickly shrank back into the carriage in embarrassment.

Nolan could not help but chuckle. Then, a thoughtful expression crossed his strikingly handsome face.

She clearly wanted to go for a stroll So why did she not say anything? Was she feeling shy again? She really is such an easily. flustered girl, he wondered. But the weather is not looking good

Just as Nolan predicted, not long after Eliza and Mary arrived back at Saint Grace Numery, it began to rain.

And for several days after, the sky remained dark and gloomy, the rain never ceasing

Standing at the doorway. Eliza looked out at the wet courtyard, then lowered her gaze with a faint smile. "Looks like even the heavens do not like you, Caleb'

With such dreary weather, Calels was surely suffering.

After all, the poison Eliza had planted on him thrived in these conditions; the darker and wetter it got, the more unbearable his torment would become.

That was right. Even though Eliza had said at the Marquis's Estate that she would not let things slide so easily next time, she had never intended to let Caleb off the hook that day.

Back when he had comered her in Evelyn's courtyard, she had already sprinkled a dose of the new poison powder she had been experimenting with onto him.

Just as Eliza had expected, at that very moment in the Marquis's Estate, chaos was unfolding.

That very night after they had left, Caleb's body began to itch and ache inexplicably. It was as if hundreds of ants were biting

him all over.

No matter how many times he bathed or changed his clothes, the torment would not stop. His skin continued to itch and burn, forcing him to scratch incessantly.

But the more he scratched, the worse it became, spreading further, growing more unbearable.

By midnight, Caleb could not endure it any longer. He finally gave in and ordered the servants to fetch a doctor.

Yet, just as a maid entered the room and lit the lamp, she turned to look at him and let out a bloodcurdling scream. "Ah!"
