The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 528

528.Chapter 528

After finishing his words, Hubert suddenly reacted, asking, “Some little creatures? Do you have others as well

Eliza was about to answer him, but Hubert raised his hand, signaling her to stop. “No, no need to say. This must be your secret. Now that you’ve left Duke’s estate, you should have your own ways of protecting yourself‘

Eliza smiled slightly, “It’s fine Diana knows about all this too, which is why she trusted me to come

“I see.” Hubert felt relieved, and his fear of the giant centipede faded a little

With Eliza’s command, the centipede bit into Hubert’s poisoned wound. Apart from drawing out the poison, it had no other effect on him.

After half an hour, the centipede stopped.

Since Hubert had been poisoned for several days, the toxin had spread deeply, and it needed more time to be absorbed

In addition, Eliza had brewed a detoxifying soup for Hubert and had Vaughn cook it for him. This combination of internal and external treatments would soon cleanse the poison from Hubert’s body.

After the centipede had drawn out some of the toxic blood, Vaughn quickly bandaged Hubert’s wounds.

After this exhausting process, Hubert fell back into a weakened sleep.

Only when he was asleep did Eliza’s smile fade instantly.

“Are they still searching?” Eliza asked.

Luke, who had been standing by Eliza’s side, nodded and said, “The word is, their goal is to either see Hubert alive or dead, so they’re not just searching for him. They’ve also sent people to search for Emmitt.”

“On top of that, it seems they’ve sent a third group, searching aimlessly through Vollult Town, with people guarding all the entrances in secret.”

Eliza wasn’t surprised. “They’re looking for me.”

With Diana holding steady in Hasen City, they wouldn’t be able to keep up the act for long.

Those old foxes had likely figured something out, so they probably already sent people to Saint Grace Nunnery to probe.

But Eliza wasn’t afraid.

Even if they knew, she had already made preparations.

Whether it was assassination or impeachment after returning to Hasen City, she was ready.

Right now, she needed to buy time–time for Hubert to recover, and time to find Emmitt.

“Tonight, have half of the team pull back and guard around the Healing Hall. The other half will come with me out of the town to search,” Eliza said.

Her insects had been searching along the river and had already found a clue. Emmitt was more likely to still be alive.

So she needed to find him quickly.

Just then, there was a sudden knock on the door of the Healing Hall.

Luke immediately tensed, looking towards the door. “Who is it?”

Eliza said, “Your daughter?”
