Tess, her bodyguard, Nathaniel, and Sonny entered the cabin together.
The cabin was dimly lit by a single oil lamp.
Nathaniel looked around the room and found a bed, a bedside table, and a simple table-all of which were neat and tidy.
It seemed that Eleanor had been living here ever since she was taken out of prison.
Thinking of this, Nathaniel glanced at Tess and sneered coldly, âI didnât know that the Green family was capable of slipping people out of prison without being noticed.

âIt was no big deal.
Eleanor is the woman you love.
Saving her is the equivalent to helping you,â Tess said with a complacent smile.
âI donât love her.
â Eleanor was never the woman he loved.
And he refuted it without hesitation.
Eleanor, who was sitting on the bed, was stunned when she heard this.
She didnât go crazy unlike at the banquet.
Aside from the bruises on her face, she looked totally different from the madwoman at the banquet.
Nathanielâs denial stabbed her heart like a knife, making her burst into tears.
âWhat? Why not? You used to love me before.
What did Lucinda do to you?! Have you forgotten your promise to me? Have you forgotten that I saved you ten years ago?â
At the mention of this matter, Nathanielâs anger flared up.
It was because of this so-called promise that he turned a blind eye to Lucindaâs love for him over the years, even wronging her and insulting her.
And whenever he thought about the harsh words he had said to Lucinda, he wanted to slap himself on the face.
He lowered his head to hide the guilt in his eyes, ignoring what Eleanor said.
Sonny answered for him.
âMiss Turner, Mr.
Roberts knows that youâre not the girl who saved him, so stop saying that.
â
Eleanorâs eyes went as wide as saucers.
The next second, she suddenly knelt down in front of Nathaniel.
âNate, Lucindaâs lying to you! I was the one who saved you! I was there when the car crashed, but I was young and very scared at that time, so I didnât rush up immediately.
Yes, a girl dragged you out of the car and then left, but I was the one who came and saved you.
Me, not Lucinda!â
She cried bitterly, her eyes filled with desperation.
Nathaniel didnât say anything.
In fact, he refused to acknowledge her.
Tess quietly handed him a document.
