Chapter 132
When Dylan was driven out of Saint Grace Nunnery, he was still clutching a package of medicine.
It was for treating external injuries.
Dylan held the package of medicine tightly. As he turned to leave, he heard Benedict’s voice. “Dylan!”
“Dylan!”
Benedict had not seen Dylan for a day, and he could not believe how disheveled he looked.
He snatched the umbrella from the page’s hand and strode over to Dylan’s side.

After pulling him under the umbrella, Benedict reprimanded him, “What have you been doing these past few days? Why can’t you discuss things properly with me first? Look at you now, talking back to Father, running away from home, disappearing for a day without bringing anything. You’re being completely unreasonable! Do you think you’re still a three- year–old child?”
“I didn’t run away from home.”
Dylan calmly corrected Benedict’s words. “I didn’t run away
from home.”
Benedict tried to persuade him, “Don’t be silly. Do you really want to give up being a member of the Duke’s estate and become a commoner?”
Dylan hugged the medicine in his arms and smiled. “What’s wrong with being a commoner? Benedict, you don’t have to persuade me. Since I have left the Stonor family, I will not go back.”
Benedict did not expect him to be so stubborn. Just like Eliza back then, he wouldn’t listen!
Benedict was also determined. He said, “Fine, since you insist on staying out, I won’t force you. But father has said that if you want to break off relations with the family, then don’t even think about using a penny from the family!”
Since Dylan was so stubborn, he would let him suffer.
Only when he knew how hard life was outside would he regret it and obediently go home.
Thinking this, Benedict’s face darkened as he told Dylan what their father had said.
But what he didn’t expect was that neither Eliza nor Dylan would regret after they decided to leave the Stonor family.
Eliza was driven by disappointment, and Dylan by pain.
Everything he had done to Eliza in the past was now torturing him like retribution.
The Duke’s estate was hell for Eliza, and now Dylan felt it, too.
All he wanted now was to follow Eliza, even if it meant just watching her from afar,
“I understand.” With that, Dylan turned and walked out from under his brother’s umbrella, clutching the medicine.
Benedict called out to him again, but this time he did not follow. “Dylan…”
Only much later, when Benedict had lost everything, did he feel boundless regret.
He regretted every decision he had made.

Chapter 132
He hadn’t stopped Eliza from entering the nunnery or persuaded Dylan to return home,
Dylan hadn’t taken anything with him when he left the Duke’s estate.
However, he still had a priceless pendant on him.
Dylan didn’t intend to exchange it for anything, because it was a birthday gift from Eliza.
Of course, he’d had many birthdays, and naturally, Eliza had given him many birthday gifts.
It was just that those were all still at the Duke’s estate.
He only took out this a few days ago when he missed Eliza, and he had been wearing it ever since.
Dylan clenched the pendant. This time, he had a goal in mind and was no longer as lost as before..
He walked down the mountain and turned to the village at the foot of Mount Westin, which was a little closer.
Eliza forced a smile. “By the way, I just remembered that the herbs on the back mountain need watering today. Mary, why don’t you have a seat here while I go fetch some water?”
