The muddy, uneven mountain road, full of stones, not only quickly wore through his knees, but also severely wore down his edges.
Less than halfway through his path, Dylan felt as if his body was wearing out.
But this was less than half of the journey.
Dylan looked up at the seemingly endless mountain road, and for a moment, a look of confusion appeared on his face.
He thought, ‘How could this mountain be so high?‘
To Dylan, Mount Westin had always been an ordinary mountain.
But now, it felt like an insurmountable cliff.
Dylan gritted his teeth and let out a low growl. “That’s not true!”
He thought, ‘Even my seriously injured sister could overcome it, so why couldn’t I?‘
At that moment, a surge of determination welled up in Dylan’s heart.
He had to keep going. He would follow the path Eliza had taken.
He would follow the path Eliza had taken.
Dylan continued to bow every step of the way.
Even though his body was wearing out, he didn’t care.
“Like a madman.” Sarah couldn’t help but blurt out.
She added, “Many people have seen him on the mountain road. What should we do, Eliza? Could he really be planning to go all the way to the Saint Grace Nunnery like you did?”
After reciting a passage of scripture, Eliza said indifferently, “Don’t mind him, Sarah. Let him do whatever he wants.”
Anyway, the Stonor family had nothing to do with her now.
“I know you don’t want to deal with them, so I won’t talk about him anymore. But it seems someone else came looking for you today.”
“From the Stonor family, too?” Eliza subconsciously assumed the person came with Dylan.
Eliza subconsciously assumed he came with Dylan.
Sarah shook her head. “Do you remember the young man at the Empress Dowager’s party who said he wanted to send you a gift as an apology and hoped you would give him a chance to make amends?”
As soon as she said that, Eliza remembered. “Grant Fletcher, from the Minister’s manor?”

“Grant Fletcher, from the Minister’s manor?”
“Yes, it’s him.”
Eliza raised her eyebrows in surprise. “Why is he here so carly in the morning?”

Sarah couldn’t help laughing. “I think he actually brought a gift. He waited outside the Saint Grace Nunnery gate early in the morning and scared Mary when she opened the door. He asked…”
Sarah pinched her nose and imitated Grant’s words. “Mary, is the Holy Lady in the nunnery today?”
Eliza couldn’t help laughing at her imitation. “Why did he ask that?”
Sarah shrugged and explained, “I heard he came yesterday, but you were at the Duke’s estate, and he couldn’t find you. He waited for a long time but you didn’t return, so he had to go back disappointed.”
Eliza nodded.
She did return late yesterday because of the matters at the Duke’s estate.
Sarah said, “He came so early every day. It seems like he won’t stop coming until he sees you.”
Because Eliza was still so young, this was the age when it was easy to be moved by love and deceived by bad men.
