Chapter 118

Veronica let out a hiss.

“Oh dear, what is it?” Elizabeth asked in concern.

Elizabeth’s heart ached terribly for her. She pulled Veronica over to the couch to sit down and chat with her.

I’m considering letting you learn from him.”

“Cough... Cough...” Startled by Elizabeth’s words, Veronica ended up spitting out the water she had been drinking and choked.
