The Lady Nun Seeks Justice (Eliza Stonor) novel Chapter 614

614.Chapter 614

Anthony wasn’t dumb enough to walk straight into Eliza’s hands right now.

Both of his shadow guards were injured, and one had even lost an arm.”

If he forced his way in to see her, he’d probably end up going in upright and coming out horizontal.

So, Anthony quickly left the area with his two injured guards.

He didn’t dare enter the Centrina City; the Black Flag army’s camp surrounded it, making it no different from walking straight into their base.

“Useless! Absolutely useless!” Anthony roared inside the carriage, his voice sharp with anger.

Outside, the two shadow guards–one of whom still had a functional hand–remained silent. They knew the scolding was meant for them.

Two whole days and nights, and they couldn’t even catch an injured person who could barely move! Worse, they let the Dragonbone Lotus fall into Eliza’s hands.

No wonder Anthony was furious.

His gaze darkened. With his guards wounded, he had to figure out another way to retrieve the Dragonbone Lotus while ensuring his own safety.

But it was almost impossible to deal with Eliza, who had the protection of an entire Black Flag army and skilled shadow guards by her side.

Anthony was still agonizing over how to retrieve the Dragonbone Lotus, while Tina had already brought the gravely injured Kingsley to Eliza.

With the other doctors in the city too busy to assist, Eliza immediately got to work, swiftly and efficiently treating Kingsley’s injuries.

By the time she was done, Kingsley was practically mummified in bandages–his wounds were that numerous.

During the treatment, Eliza discovered that Kingsley’s injuries weren’t just sword cuts; he also had severe trauma from a fall.

The most critical damage was to his internal organs, which were bleeding profusely. If it had been anyone else, they likely wouldn’t have survived the journey.

It was a mystery how Kingsley had managed to hold on until now.

Eliza poured an entire bottle of her treasured century–old medicine down his throat and followed it up with magical water. Only then did she manage to pull him back from the brink of death.

Thanks to the combined effects of the medicine and magical water, Kingsley soon regained a sliver of consciousness. He opened his eyes, staring blankly at Eliza.

“Your… Your Grace?”

When Kingsley realized it wasn’t a dream, his eyes flew wide open. “Your Grace! The Lotus… the Lotus…”

“Calm down. Is this what you’re talking about?” Eliza, worried he might strain himself and tear his wounds, gently pressed him back down. She then took the Dragonbone Lotus from Tina and showed it to him.

The moment Kingsley saw the Dragonbone Lotus safe and sound in Eliza’s hands, tears streamed down his face, and he began to sob. “Yes… Yes, that’s it! Your Grace has it… that’s all that matters… that’s all that matters…”

At least now, even if he died, he could face those kids without regrets.

Kingsley knew his injuries were severe, and making it this far was already a miracle. Believing he was beyond saving, he broke down into uncontrollable sobs.

His reaction left Eliza utterly baffled. Hearing his words, she couldn’t help but twitch the corner of her mouth and reply dryly, “You’re not dying. I’ve already patched you up. At most, you’ll need half a month to fully recover.

“I don’t know who those kids you mentioned are, but in half a month, you’ll be free to go see whoever you want.”

He hoped Eliza wouldn’t blame him for that.

But in the next moment, Eliza’s expression softened into a gentle, serene smile. Her voice was warm as she said, “The Dragonbone Lotus is beautiful. It’s one of the most precious gifts I’ve ever received, and I’ll treasure it always.”

Holding the vibrant red flower in her hands, its fiery hue seemed to glow, casting a soft light on her serene, otherworldly face. In that moment, she looked like a goddess descended to the mortal realm.

Kingsley stared at her, utterly entranced.

At that moment, every hardship he had endured felt completely worth it.

Eliza waved her hand, instructing her people to take Kingsley away to rest.

She didn’t need to guess why Anthony had been chasing him–this herb was clearly the one he needed to cure his paralysis. The moment Eliza saw the Dragonbone Lotus, he understood why Anthony had risked everything to come to Woteria. The Dragonbone Lotus was a legendary herb, thought to have been extinct for centuries.

It could rebuild meridians, strengthen bones, and boost vitality–a treasure beyond compare.

And Anthony’s crippled lower body needed this herb.

‘Even with this herb, his chances of recovery are slim–just thirty percent,‘ Eliza thought. ‘One Dragonbone Lotus might heal a single limb, but to fully restore his lower body, he’d need at least five. Five! For a herb that’s been extinct for centuries, finding even one is already a miracle‘

But what Anthony could only dream of, Eliza could achieve effortlessly. With her pendant’s hidden space, she could grow as many Dragonbone Lotuses as she wanted!
