Mary nodded in agreement, then hesitated before asking her, “Alright. Would…
you
like to go see him?”

He was still outside at the moment. Although Mary knew he had a fever, she didn’t immediately have someone carry him in.
These boys were indeed Caroline’s sons, but in the end, she still preferred her beloved disciple, Eliza.
If she had refused, Mary would have let it go, but she didn’t expect Eliza to be so understanding.
Eliza did not agree to go. Of course, Mary did not force her.
After sending someone to the Duke’s estate in Hasen City, Mary had someone carry Dylan into the main hall of Saint Grace Nunnery.
She thought that since he would be taken back later anyway, it would be more convenient to place him in the main hall.
So, she began to treat Dylan on the spot.
But even after she had brought down Dylan’s high fever, no one from the Duke’s estate came.
As it grew dark outside, she couldn’t very well throw Dylan out, but she couldn’t keep him in the main hall either, so in the end, she arranged another room for him to recover in.
In the middle of the night, a slender figure stood outside the door of that room.
It was so late, everyone who was supposed to be asleep was asleep.
There was no one guarding the room.
So, Eliza gently pushed the door open and entered.
She stood by the bed where Dylan was sleeping, looking at him. The handsome face was now frowning, and from time to time, he made noises as if he were having a nightmare.
She thought, ‘Has his fever returned?‘
Eliza subconsciously reached out to feel Dylan’s forehead.
Sure enough, he had a slight fever again.
She rinsed the washcloth in the basin by the bed, wrung it out, folded it neatly, and placed it back on Dylan’s forehead.
After finishing all this, Eliza was about to leave. Just as she turned around, a large hand suddenly grabbed her arm.
The owner of the large hand gripped her tightly, as if afraid she would run away.
As if sensing something, Dylan tried hard to open his eyes, but his eyelids were as heavy as if they were pressed down by stones, and he couldn’t open them at all.
He vaguely guessed who had come to see him.
So he held Eliza tightly, refusing to let her go.
He opened his mouth slightly, and his dry throat only uttered a few words. “Don’t… Don’t go… Eliza… Let’s go home…”
Eliza heard his words.

She also knew what he wanted to say.
She stood in the darkness, looking down at Dylan on the bed.
After a long silence in the room, her voice slowly sounded. “Dylan.”
It had been a long time since she had called out to him, and Eliza felt a little strange.
She reluctantly pulled the corners of her mouth and said indifferently, “We can’t go back. That home is not my home anymore.”
After saying these words, she pulled Dylan’s hand away from her arm. “Don’t come to me again.”
After leaving such a heartless sentence, Eliza left here directly.
After she left, two lines of clear tears slowly flowed from the corners of Dylan’s eyes as he lay on the bed.
He thought, ‘Is there really no going back?‘
The feeling of sadness lingered until dawn the next day.
As a result, when Mary came to see him, she found him in a state of utter despair.
Mary didn’t know what to say
Dylan said, “Reverend, Eliza came to see me last night.”
Mary paused, and said calmly while checking on him, “You were dreaming, weren’t you?”
The implication was that he was overthinking it.
Dylan said speechlessly, “I wasn’t dreaming. Eliza really did come to see me.”
Mary still didn’t believe him. “If she really did come to see you, how could you still be so dejected?”
Dylan smiled bitterly. “Because Eliza said that we can’t go back to how we were and told me not to look for her again.”
The familiar words made Mary raise her eyebrows slightly, lost in thought.
She thought, ‘Could it be that Serenity really came last night?
‘It seemed that although she said she had let go, she was still soft–hearted!
Mary didn’t know whether to be glad or to sigh.

Serenity had too much on her mind, and she didn’t seem to want to talk about it. Keeping it all bottled up inside would only make her sick sooner or later.
Just as Mary was thinking about how to help Eliza, Dylan suddenly said, “Mary, can I stay at the foot of the mountain?”
Eliza wouldn’t let him come to her again.
Then he would stay at the foot of the mountain. As long as he could be closer to Eliza, even just a little bit, he would feel at
ease.
Unaware that Dylan had run away from home, Mary was slightly puzzled, “Why are you staying at the foot of the mountain? Aren’t you going back to the Duke’s estate?”
Dylan opened his mouth, not knowing how to explain this to Mary.

He couldn’t really tell Mary that Sophie was his half–sibling, born to the same father but a different mother. Judging by Sophie’s age, it was obvious that Gabriel had cheated on his mother before Eliza was even conceived.
He coudln’t bring himself to say such a shameful thing.
Seemingly sensing Dylan’s hesitation, Mary didn’t press further and simply nodded. “You’re welcome to stay if you wish. However, there are only villages at the foot of the mountain. If you want to be closer to Mount Westin, you’ll probably have to build your own house.”
Dylan took note of this.
At noon, after he felt a little better, Mary threw him out of Saint Grace Nunnery.
“He’s gone?”
In the courtyard, Eliza asked casually, “He’s gone?”
Mary nodded. “He’s gone back. It seems he had quite a disagreement with the people from the Duke’s estate.”
Eliza paused in her movements, then shook her head. “That’s none of our business.”
