In the afternoon, Veronica received a call from Eleanor.
"What are you doing right now, Goddess Veronica? Shouldn't you treat me to dinner and repay me because I, Princess Eleanor of the hidden clan, saved your man?"
Eleanor, on the other end of the phone, spoke casually and enthusiastically, clearly in a good mood.
"I wanted to visit you because I know you were injured, but I was just discharged from the hospital at noon. You called before I had time to contact you."
Veronica smiled heartily. "I'm at One Piece Restaurant. Come here. I'll ask Matt to cook for you to express my gratitude."
"Hahaha! You know me best. Wait for me. I am on my way."
Eleanor hung up the phone quickly, cleaned up briefly, and drove down the mountain with Liam.
In the car, Liam occasionally glanced at Eleanor who was beaming like a flower while sitting in the passenger seat. He said, "He's married. You two have no chance. What are you so happy about?"
He shook his head, unsure of what she was thinking.
Eleanor's smile vanished as she heard what he said, and she cast a sideways glance at him, saying, "You are always cheering and flattering that sultry b*tch every day. So, you are allowed to be happy and I'm not?''
"Whatever you say." Liam twisted his lips and continued speaking while he tapped his fingers on the steering wheel. "It appears that the injury has healed, and you're in a good mood. That's excellent."
"Well, it's all thanks to you. Staying with me in the water dungeon for two days, and even finding something for me to step onto; otherwise, I would have suffered a lot in there."
People would be punished in the water prison by having their hands tied with iron chains and standing in water up to their thighs.
Liam arrived shortly after she was sent to the water dungeon, talking and conversing with her the entire time. He even bribed the people in the water dungeon to put a high table under her feet so she could sit on the table.
He also fed her food and drinks by himself.
