"Dylan, have you lost your mind?" Matthew looked at Dylan in shock.
They had planned to take Dylan to apologize, but his willingness to do so was beyond surprising.
"Did those eighty lashes knock the sense out of you, or did sitting in that cell for so long make you stupid?" Matthew asked with a hint of disdain.
Sophie hesitated for a moment. "Dylan, are you sure you are okay?"
Dylan had not expected such a big reaction from them over a simple statement. He rolled his eyes.
Then Dylan spoke about what he had been thinking during his time in prison. "To be honest, the moment I hit Eliza that day, I regretted it."
These past few days, Dylan had repeatedly recalled the look in Eliza's eyes from that day. It was unbearable to think about.
Dylan could not understand how, in such a short time, Eliza's gaze toward him had turned into one of sheer hatred.
Dylan had gone to Saint Grace Nunnery simply to bring Eliza home, never expecting such an extreme reaction from her.
And then, Eliza had bitten him so hard that it felt as if she wanted to tear his flesh apart. Of course, in the end, she succeeded. She had taken a chunk of his hand.
Dylan glanced at the deep scar on his hand. He did not know whether Eliza had been afraid of him or afraid of returning to the Stonor family.
But either way, the thought had haunted him day and night, leaving him restless. Dylan truly regretted everything now.
Looking back, he realized that Benedict had been right all along. For the past six months, Dylan had failed to control his temper, laying his hands on Eliza more than once. Perhaps that was why she feared him so much.
Now that everything was clear to him, Dylan felt he owed Eliza an apology.
'I am her brother. An older brother is supposed to protect and care for his little sister. Even if she is a little disobedient or immature, so what? No matter what, she is still my sister.' With that thought, Dylan's expression softened into a relieved smile.
But across from Dylan, Matthew wore a strange look.
Sophie clenched her hands slightly. She had not expected the hot-tempered Dylan to come out of prison with a clearer head. But fortunately, it was already too late.
Sophie sighed. "But Dylan, Eliza has already cut ties with the Stonor family."
"I know. She made a huge fuss about severing ties after she became a nun," Dylan said, not yet grasping the full meaning of her words.
Matthew spoke with a blank expression. "Dylan, this time, it was not just her throwing a tantrum. Father has removed her name from the family tree. She is no longer a daughter of the Stonor family."
Dylan froze. His face went rigid, his eyes widening in disbelief. "What did you just say? Say that again."
Matthew repeated himself. "Father erased her name from the family tree. If you do not believe me, go back and check for yourself. But for now, let us head to Saint Grace Nunnery. Once you apologize to Eliza, she will be out of our lives for good."
"Shut up." Dylan suddenly stood up inside the carriage, hitting his head on the roof with a loud thud but he ignored the pain.
Glaring furiously at Matthew, he exploded. "What nonsense are you talking about? Eliza is our sister!"
Matthew frowned. "So what? She is an unruly disgrace who is unfit to be our sister, let alone a daughter of Duke's estate—"
