That said, for some inexplicable reason, Elijah was confident in Aurelia. Auri should be able to do it. Someone who is fortunate enough to inherit Hannah
Mabel nodded seriously. “Auri is already quite accomplished. It’s normal if she can’t solve everything. However, Hannah once left me a message saying
“Where on earth is Hannah now?” Elijah sighed.
Mabel also let out a sigh. “Once Hannah finishes up with her matters, she will come back to see us. She definitely will.”
Tears welled up in Elijah’s eyes as he nodded. “You’re right.”
On the road, Matthew gazed at Aurelia, who was deep in thought, and spoke softly. “Don’t push yourself too hard. Grandma is already showing her trust
Aurelia nodded absentmindedly. “Okay.”
At that moment, a WhatsApp notification popped up on her phone.
She glanced at her phone after unlocking it.
The message turned out to be from Uriah: I’m really sorry about today. I had to leave early in the afternoon due to some unexpected matters. I’ll make it
Aurelia replied: It’s okay. Don’t worry too much about it.
Matthew unintentionally saw that, and his expression darkened. Someone is trying to steal my wife?
After about half an hour later, they arrived at Joseph’s house.
Just as they followed Joseph into the mansion, they were met with waves of loud sobbing. The cries of a frightened child were particularly piercing.
The mansion was vast and open, yet even its multiple floors couldn’t muffle the sound of crying.
The housekeepers on the first floor had grown accustomed to the sound of crying, maintaining their usual
composure.
Joseph was heartbroken, his eyes red. “It’s been like this almost every day recently. It breaks my heart to hear.”
Having lived to that age, he no longer asked for much of anything else, only that his loved ones were safe
and sound.
A sense of heaviness settled in Matthew’s heart. This situation is more serious than what Old Mr. Delaney described.
He looked at Aurelia, whose expression was serious and whose demeanor was unwavering. NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.

Aurelia said to Joseph, “Old Mr. Delaney, let’s go upstairs and take a look.”
“All right. Come, follow me.” Joseph immediately took the lead, guiding Aurelia and Matthew.
Matthew had visited the Delaney residence a few times.
However, during that visit, an inexplicable chill seemed to seep into his every pore.
He wasn’t sure if it was just an illusion.
Aurelia delicately removed a thin red string bracelet from her own wrist.
A tiny bronze coin was threaded onto the little red string bracelet.
She handed it over to Matthew. “Take it with you. It might come in handy.”
She noticed that the hairs on the back of Matthew’s hand were standing on end.

Matthew took it. The small bronze coin still retained Aurelia’s warmth, so it didn’t feel cold in his palm as one might expect from a bronze coin. In fact, the
With a slight curve of his thin lips, he slipped the red string bracelet onto his wrist.
Upon seeing the red string bracelet fall onto his wrist, he suddenly felt as if his wrist had indeed been missing something so pleasing to the eye.
When they reached the door of the child’s room, Aurelia had a change of heart. “Old Mr. Delaney, let’s go see Old Ms. Delaney first.”
Joseph paused for a moment, then said, “All right.”
Then, they ascended another floor.
As they were about to enter, a housekeeper emerged from within. The housekeeper respectfully greeted. him before speaking with worry. “Just now, follo
Joseph nodded. “You may leave first.”
When he pushed the door open, Joseph turned back to Aurelia and said, “Lately, Sarah has been like this, often complaining about headaches and leg p
“Does the medicine prescribed by the doctor have no effect?” Aurelia asked.
“It can only alleviate some of the headache symptoms.” Joseph sighed, clearly feeling quite helpless.
Upon entering the room, they saw a frail elderly woman, her face pale and a large swath of her hair white. She was lying in bed, her thin figure lying under the blanket.
Even as the group walked in while chatting, she didn’t notice them.
She kept her eyes shut tight, her brows furrowed deeply, and her lips were clamped together firmly.

Upon closer observation, one could also notice Sarah was trembling slightly.

Joseph walked to the bedside, his eyes reddening as he looked at Sarah. Although she was already asleep, it was evident that she was still enduring im
Matthew stood behind Aurelia and watched her calmly survey her surroundings.
Suddenly, someone barged right in through the door. “Dad? There’s a guest? Oh, M–Mr. Quigley.”
Joseph glanced at his youngest son, Heath Delaney, who had abruptly barged in and frowned. “Wait for me downstairs.”
“Ah, okay.” Heath glanced at Matthew, then shifted his gaze to Aurelia. He was somewhat curious about
her.
After Heath left, Joseph said, “Auri, regarding your relationship with Matthew, Mabel suggested that we should not inform the younger generation until it’s
“Sure, it’s no problem. Old Mr. Delaney.” Aurelia nodded lightly, unbothered.
Joseph once again looked at Matthew. “Matthew, why don’t you take a seat and rest for a bit?”
Matthew gave a slight nod, then took a seat to the side.
“Auri, can you discern the reason?” Joseph asked somewhat anxiously.
Aurelia made her way to the walk–in closet off to the side.
The walk–in closet had one wall that was transparent, providing a clear view of the clothes hanging inside.
Her gaze settled on a gown.
“Is this a gown from Old Ms. Delaney’s collection?” Aurelia asked.
Joseph looked puzzled as Aurelia suddenly brought up the topic of the gown. He shook his head and said, “This gown isn’t a collector’s item. It was a birthday gift from our youn
The design on it appeared rather intricate.
The embroidery was rare, featuring designs that were not commonly seen.
Matthew glanced over, then rose to stand beside Aurelia. “There’s an issue with this gown?”
“There is?” Joseph widened his eyes, finding it hard to believe.
“I’m certain this is the problem.7Aurelia opened the cabinet and took out the gown.
Under the light of the walk– in closet, the golden threads and strung pearls on the gown shimmered brilliantly, making it easy to overlook the embroidered patterns on the dress.
At first glance, those patterns appeared incredibly delicate and beautiful, accentuated by the backdrop of pearls and rold threads.

In reality, the patterns embroidered on the gown were actually dark and evil talismans.

Otherwise, the pearls on the gown wouldn’t have possibly retained their brilliant luster over the past
century.
