The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 491

491.Chapter 491

“Caleb, you are so pitiful. Your uncle is so heartless. It’s all my fault. I can’t even speak up in my own home, let alone protect you,” Adeline sobbed, holding Caleb, who was already bandaged, and wept uncontrollably.

“Mother, it’s not your fault. It’s mine for not listening to you,” Caleb cried, clinging to his mother.

The mother and son sat on the floor, their wailing causing headaches for Gabriel and the others.

Sophie, caught in the middle, was extremely embarrassed. She had genuinely not expected that Matthew and Anthony would attack Caleb on the day of her visit.

Moreover, their actions were so brutal, breaking his leg and attempting to poison him. Their reckless behavior had ruined her chances of a good life at the Marquis’s estate in the future. They were truly fools.

Sophie was as regretful today as she had been delighted during her visit yesterday. If she had known that Matthew and Anthony would attack Caleb, she would have preferred that Caleb not accompany her back.

Those two fools wouldn’t have caused such a huge mess, and she wouldn’t have been implicated.

But now that the damage was done, Sophie could only try to salvage the situation. “Madam Nevill, the floor is cold. Perhaps you and Dale should get up,” she suggested.

“Shut up,” Adeline snapped, turning her head sharply and yanking her hand away from Sophie’s. “Who do you think you Do you have any right to speak here? Get out of my sight.”
