Veronica let out a hiss.

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

In order not to worry Elizabeth, Veronica lied and said that she had slipped earlier and her arm was sliced open on a sharp rock.

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

“As a lady, you should be more mindful. You won’t be as pretty if it leaves a scar,” Elizabeth said solemnly as she patted Veronica’s hand.

Elizabeth and Veronica chatted as usual about their daily happenings easily.

“In a few more days, I’ll be taking you to see someone,” Elizabeth said. ”

“Who is it?”

“Matthew’s Uncle Conrad. He’ll be returning from overseas in a few days’ time. You’ll be able to acquaint yourselves with each other. After all, he is your uncle as well.” Having brought him up, Elizabeth elaborated, “Conrad is only a few years older than Matthew, but he has a mind for business. 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.

Elizabeth promptly pulled a few wads of tissue paper and muttered, “How old are you to still be choking while drinking some water?”
