“A gift…” Casey paused, pondering, and then a sudden pain gripped her head.

Seeing Casey’s distress, Jimena quickly became concerned.

“Madam, are you okay? Please, sit down.

Jimena gently helped Casey sit on the bed, watching her closely, piecing things together.

“It was the day I mentioned someone was getting married.

That’s when I saw it on the table outside.

At Jimena’s revelation, Casey pinched her palm hard, trying to manage her chaotic thoughts.

She asked, “Jimena, you mentioned last time that it was which family getting married, marrying a young lady from Ambrosia?”

Jimena responded, “Madam, it was the Clifford family from the north of the city.

Noticing Casey’s confusion, Jimena elaborated, “The Clifford family is well-known locally, just as prominent as the Maxwell family.

They all know Davey, and their family is large and influential.

Casey’s eyes widened slightly.

The Clifford family knew Davey? Could Davey know something as well?

Suddenly, Jimena added, “Oh yes, that gift must have come from the Clifford family.

Who else could afford such an extravagant gift?”

Casey asked further, “You said the bride was very beautiful, didn’t you? Can you remember what she looked like? Do you think…”

Casey paused, her voice filled with hope.

“Does she look like me?”

Jimena looked at Casey with eyes full of sympathy and shook her head.

“Madam, I didn’t see the bride myself.

I wasn’t invited to the Clifford’s wedding.

It was my friends who worked there who told me she was very beautiful.

Casey was slightly disappointed, yet she was convinced it was Likely to be Raegan.

After all, she was the only person in Aurora who knew this story.

Interestingly, it was the same story Casey had edited when telling her daughter.

Casey had Jimena acquire the Angelica Sinensis, after which a young woman from Ambrosia married into Aurora and delivered a gift related to the swallow story.

Even if this bride wasn’t her daughter, she had to be someone connected to her daughter.

Or perhaps it was Erick.

It had to be Erick.

Erick must have found the missing Raegan, and she told him the story.

The more Casey thought about it, the more convinced she became, her heart swelling with hope.

She turned to Jimena and whispered, “Jimena, can you help me?”

Jimena looked at Casey, puzzled, unsure of what she was asking.

“Can you help me?” Casey repeated.

Casey handed over a piece of rough embroidery, saying, “Could you deliver this to the bride for me?”

Jimena’s expression shifted, and she quickly declined.

“I’m sorry.

I can’t do that.

Jimena returned the embroidery to Casey, her complexion slightly pale as she whispered, “I can’t do it.

I’m sorry.

Davey had strict rules about this.

If it went unnoticed, that was one thing, but if it were exposed, the consequences would be dire.

Jimena wouldn’t dare take such a risk, not even with ten lives to spare.

Previously, Jimena had assisted Casey in purchasing Angelica Sinensis, and she had only done so in disguise.

At that time, Casey was feeling homesick, and even if they were caught, it wasn’t likely to be fatal.
