Chapter 130
The rain wasn’t heavy. It was just a drizzle falling with the cold wind.
It fell on Dylan, soaking his clothes bit by bit and chilling his heart.
In Dylan’s dazed mind, a memory from their childhood surfaced for no reason.

At that time, there was only Eliza in the family. She asked, “Dylan, among the four seasons, with so many weather changes, what’s your favorite weather?”
She always liked to cling to her brothers, especially him.
Like a little shadow, every time he came home, his little Eliza would circle around him.
Her little mouth wouldn’t stop chattering, as if she would never run out of things to say.
At that time, he also loved Eliza very much. No matter what she asked, he would answer her patiently, never once impatient.
He replied; “Of course, I like sunny days the most! Every sunny day, I can go out and fight, and feel refreshed!”
“You are obviously all sweaty. You always smell bad when you come back from a fight!” The little Eliza would retort with a giggle, then pinch her little nose with a disgusted expression on her face.
“Okay, Eliza has grown up now. You dare to dislike me? I will stink you!”
“Dylan stinks, it stinks!”
Dylan loved to tease Eliza, and he could always make her giggle.
At that time, he felt from the bottom of his heart that Eliza’s laughter was simply the best in the world, and no one could laugh as cutely as she did.
After teasing her, Dylan beckoned Eliza back to his side, fanning her while chatting. “Alright Eliza, don’t run. You might fall. Come sit by me for a while.
“It’s your turn now. Eliza, what’s your favorite weather?”
Eliza counted on her fingers one by one. “I like sunny days and cloudy days, but I don’t like rainy days!”
“Why don’t you like rainy days?”
“Mother told me that it rains because someone is crying, and they don’t want anyone to see them, so the heaven makes it rain to help cover them up. So even if someone cries, no one else will know.”
Kneeling in front of Saint Grace Nunnery, Dylan reached up and touched his face.
Feeling the wetness on his face, Dylan couldn’t help but give a bitter smile.
Drenched, Dylan knelt there and muttered to himself, “This is the kind of weather Eliza dislikes the most. Even God doesn’t want to help me…”
*****
Back in Saint Grace Nunnery, Eliza had decided to ignore Dylan.
When she returned to her courtyard, she had wanted to tidy up her herb garden, but it started raining before she could.

Feeling a little bored, Eliza greeted Tina and went back to her room.
The next second, she entered the pocket farm.
The improved medicine she had used on Matthew and Anthony last time had consumed several of her rare herbs.
That was why those physicians couldn’t analyze the poison she used.
Having witnessed the potency of these herbs, Eliza secretly began to ponder various, poison formulas.

Eliza went into her pocket farm whenever she had free time these days, on the one hand to take care of the herbs, and on the other hand, she planned to make use of the small house in the pocket farm.
There were too many people outside, so it was not convenient for her to study poisons.
But this pocket farm was different. No one could find it, let alone disturb her.
So Eliza soon had a new idea for poison,
She carefully collected more than a dozen kinds of herbs according to the poison scriptures, and then proportioned them in the same way.
Soon, she made a black pill.
Once it was done, Eliza quickly put the pill into a small bottle.
This thing had a completely opposite characteristic to the improved Obedience Potion.
The Obedience Potion was colorless and tasteless, but this pill had a very strong smell.
Its toxicity was not in the pill itself, but in the strong aroma.
Eliza had only just caught a whiff of it when she sensed something was amiss with her emotions.
She felt a sudden wave of despair, as if the sky were about to fall.
Fortunately, she was still inside her pocket farm. The moment Eliza noticed something was wrong, she rushed to the stream and jumped in.
With a splash, Eliza was enveloped by the spirit–infused water.
After being cleansed by the spiritual energy, the scent that was affecting her emotions finally dissipated completely.
She said, “What an overbearing medicinal property. I’ll have to be careful when I use it,” she thought to herself.
When Eliza returned to the cabin after tidying herself up, she picked up the small emerald bottle with lingering fear.
This poison wasn’t really a poison.
Anthony’s Obedience Potion had given her great inspiration.
Since Mary had made her swear not to use poison to kill anyone, she had to think of other ways.
But after she learned the effect of the Obedience Potion, she immediately understood how to deal with Sophie.
And this time, the potion was specially prepared for Sophie.
Eliza’s eyes flashed fiercely as she held the small emerald bottle in her hand.

She thought, ‘Sophie, don’t think that the fifty lashes last time were the end of it.
‘My revenge is not over yet.

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.
After putting away the potion, Eliza immediately came out of her pocket farm.
When she opened the door, she saw that it was not Sarah, but Mary.
Eliza led her into the room, her expression curious. “Mary? What’s the matter? Is there something you need from me?”
Mary hesitated for a moment before saying, “Dylan collapsed outside Saint Grace Nunnery. He has a high fever right now, and I was thinking that we should bring him in for treatment. Once his fever subsides, we can have someone from the Duke’s estate come and take him away. What do you think…”
“Alright.” Before Mary could finish speaking, Eliza nodded directly.
She smiled and said, “Mary, don’t worry. We are nuns, and nuns are compassionate. It is only natural for us to save people
Besides, she didn’t hate Dylan as much as she used to.
When he apologized to her personally, she had already let go of some of her anger.
However, letting go did not mean forgiveness.
Eliza would never forgive Dylan.
After listening to Eliza’s words, Mary secretly felt a sense of relief
Indeed, as Gabriel had said, if Eliza was Caroline’s daughter, the other children were hers as well.
Mary felt sorry for Eliza, and thus felt angry with Benedict and the others.
But Dylan today made her see him in a new light.
He was clearly aware of his mistake and was doing his best to apologize to Eliza.
However, after all the commotion, his body, already at its limit, endured a rain shower. It was no wonder he collapsed.
Hence, Mary, feeling concerned, came to find Eliza.
Eliza said, “Let him go back after he wakes up. He doesn’t need to come to Saint Grace Nunnery again.”
