Chapter 118

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.
