The Lady Nun Vows Revenge by Caroline Rowland

The Silent 708

Chapter 708

Three days earlier, the Nevill family departed Hasen City and hastened toward Fotidia without pause.

By nightfall on the first day, Caleb's condition had become so critical that they were forced to stop at an inn.

Dale had brought ample manpower for the journey this time.

Over the years, the Nevill family trained numerous devoted warriors. To ensure their safe return to Fotidia, Dale took every last one of them with him.

After ensuring the night watch was properly arranged, Dale finally returned to his room at the inn.

"Adeline, how's Caleb?"Dale asked.

Dale pushed open the door to find Adeline keeping vigil 's bedside.

After tucking the blanket around Caleb, Adeline shook her head, her face drawn with exhaustion. "I've given him the medicine, but he still hasn't awakened," she said softly.

Dale walked over and gently patted her on the shoulder. "Don't worry, Adeline," he reassured her. "Didn't the Holy Lady say he should awaken in no time as long as we administer the medicinal brew to Caleb on schedule?"

"Even so," Adeline said anxiously, "Caleb still hasn't woken up. I just can't rest easy, especially with those damned parasites still inside him."

At the thought of those parasites, Adeline couldn't help but feel afraid and indignant.

Adeline thought bitterly, 'Those damned parasites! And that bitch Sophie deserves to rot in hell!

'Sophie has ruined the Marquis's estate and left my son Caleb lying unconscious to this day!'

Even though Sophie was dead, Adeline still felt genuinely afraid.

She was terrified that if she took her eyes off her son for even a moment, those parasites inside his body might suddenly go berserk and kill him in a frenzy. What would she do then?

All Adeline could do was pray in her heart now.

Adeline prayed fervently, 'May my son wake up soon, and may Eliza find a way to rid him of those dreadful parasites without delay!'
