The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 537

537.Chapter 537

The next day, before Eliza and Hubert set off, she took some time to speak with Vaughn and Cara.

“After we leave, there will surely be people coming to search the Healing Hall, so I’ve left a few people behind here. If danger arises, Vaughn and Cara can immediately call for help, and reinforcements will arrive quickly.”

“Of course, this is the worst–case scenario. Even if things go wrong, once we return and resolve everything, you won’t be in any danger within a month.”

Eliza reassured the father and daughter, making it clear that they were to accept the large sum of money she had left for them–enough to support them for the rest of their lives.

After they reluctantly accepted, Eliza looked at Cara with a hint of admiration. “Cara, I truly admire your talent and hard work in identifying herbs. If you’re willing, I would love to invite you to Hasen City to help me sell medicine. I have a vast amount of herbs, but I lack someone like you who understands them.”

Cara was taken aback. She hadn’t expected Eliza to praise and recognize her skills so highly.

After a brief moment of joy, Cara sighed and said, “I’m sorry, Serenity. I would rather stay by my father’s side than go to Hasen City.”

Her father was old and needed her, so she couldn’t leave him.

Eliza smiled gently. “I understand. So, before I leave, I want to give you and Vaughn a choice. If you want, I can prepare a‘ Healing Hall‘ for both of you in Hasen City.”

“Vaughn can still practice medicine in his own Healing Hall, and you can not only stay with him but also help me sell my medicine. I have so many herbs, and I’m sure that once you see them, you won’t regret it.”

When Eliza emphasized how many herbs she had, Cara couldn’t help but feel a little tempted.

But after glancing at Vaughn, who was saying a reluctant goodbye to Hubert, Cara ultimately didn’t agree.

Eliza hadn’t expected to persuade her with just a few words, so she said, “It’s fine. You can think it over. If you decide to come, just write to me at the Padilla family in Hasen City. I’ll make sure everything is arranged and send someone to welcome you.”

After saying her piece, Eliza formally bid Cara farewell, then helped Hubert into the carriage.

Watching the carriage drive off, Cara stood still for a long while. It wasn’t until Vaughn called her again that she snapped out of her thoughts.

“Cara, what’s the matter? Did she say something to you?” Vaughn asked.

Cara paused, then shook her head without telling him what had been said. “It’s nothing, Father. Let’s go home.” “Alright, alright. You’ve been working hard these past few days, Cara. I’ll cook lunch for you today, your favorite meat.”

Meanwhile, Healing Hall had returned to its usual peaceful routine.

Eliza’s carriage, escorted by Black Flag soldiers, slowly left Vollult Town.

The entire journey was quiet, with only the sound of hooves and the wheels turning.

Eliza didn’t ride a horse this time. Like Hubert, she sat in a carriage, and the little beggar rode with Hubert.

Using two carriages was a clever tactic to confuse anyone who might be watching, making it harder for them to pinpoint Hubert.

Of course, Eliza knew that she might also be one of the targets.

Just as they had been traveling for half the day and entered a narrow gorge, Eliza suddenly opened her eyes.
