Though puzzled, Elysia suppressed her doubts.

“Arcanum Master, you’ve had a long day. I’ll have a servant take you to your room to rest early,” Edward said.

Elysia nodded slightly, “Alright.”

The maid escorted Elysia to the guest room and then left.

Elysia entered the room. It was spacious and well–furnished, showing that the Evans family had put effort into preparing it.

She removed her mask and placed it on a nearby table. After freshening up, she lay down on the large bed and quickly fell into a deep sleep.

That night, she slept exceptionally well.

The next morning, after getting ready, Elysia went to Quinita’s room.

Gently pushing the door open, she saw that the person inside was still asleep. She carefully walked to the bedside and was about to check her pulse when she noticed the photo Quinita was holding.

Elysia’s eyes lingered on the photo. After a moment’s hesitation, she impulsively reached out to take it.

Her movements were light, fearing that Quinita would wake up at any moment.

Fortunately, everything went smoothly. Quinita loosened her grip as soon as Elysia touched the photo. Feeling pleased, Elysia’s confidence shattered as the photo flipped over.

The girl in the photo looked just like her at fifteen.

But upon closer inspection, Elysia realized she had been mistaken. Though the girl bore a striking resemblance to her, she was pale and frail–looking–definitely not her.

Thinking of Evelyn, Elysia suddenly understood. No wonder Holden mentioned she looked like his sister. The resemblance was uncanny enough that she nearly mistook the girl for herself.

She reached for her mask, her eyes locked on the face in the photograph. She thought, ‘If she were healthy and not so pale, would we look exactly the same?

‘But how could there be two people who look exactly alike? Unless they’re twins.

Thinking this, a sharp pain surged in Elysia’s chest, even more intense than before. She clutched her chest and sank to the floor, thinking, ‘What is going on?‘

Years ago, Bella came to Jorlandia to give birth, and the Evans family was in Jorlandia as well. If Evelyn were alive, she would be eighteen, just like her.

A sudden realization made her eyes widen. Fighting through the chest pain, she stood up, placed the photo back in Quinita’s arms, and prepared to leave.
