Chapter 840

The shop assistants at Arcane Sanctum were familiar with Amelia, and Paul recounted what had happened yesterday.

“She must have pawned some jewelry to come here. When she arrived, she looked dazed and was clutching a pawn ticket. I took a quick glance, and it was from a pawnshop called Treasure Exchange.

“Right away, she asked to buy seven or eight Evergreen Pills. I suggested she only needed two–one for childbirth and one for postpartum recovery. There’s really no need for more at other times,” he said, based on his observations.

“You could tell she had been crying, right?”

“Absolutely. She hadn’t even dried her tears when she walked in.”

“Thank you,” Carissa said, not wanting to pry further.

She then had the staff member lead her to Treasure Exchange.

As she was dressed in official uniform, the shopkeeper produced the items that Amelia had pawned when asked about them. Carissa recognized them as gifts she had once given Amelia.

“She said she would redeem them, so they’re not permanently pawned,” the shopkeeper informed Carissa.
