Just as Erick was about to put away his tablet, Raegan spotted a four-leaf clover pendant around the woman's neck. It was a style commonly worn by women.

Thus, Raegan suspected it was actually a woman disguised as a man.

This was a perspective Erick hadn't considered. He knew the figure in the footage was on the shorter side, but since many men in Aurora were not tall, he hadn't seen it that way. Now, with Raegan's insights, Erick agreed that the figure in the footage did seem out of place, perhaps really a woman!

Erick remembered the corner where the figure had vanished, a spot he had checked countless times. There was indeed a suspicious woman in black a few minutes later there. He leaned in and embraced Raegan, saying, “Raegan, you've been a tremendous help!"

Raegan felt a surge of hope, as this clue seemed to be a major lead in their mother's case.

Erick quickly transferred the footage from his phone to review it again with Raegan.

This time, Raegan easily spotted that the woman dressed in black was the same person as the "man" who had bought the medicine.

They were almost sure now that this woman had a connection to their mother. There would be no other reason for her to disguise herself as a man just to purchase Angelica Sinensis. This also served as indirect proof that Casey was indeed still alive. What great news!

Without wasting a moment, Erick forwarded the video to a computer specialist to extract the woman's image and enhance its quality for better identification.

Soon enough, they had a clear frontal view of the woman.

Erick then sent the photo to Stefan, asking him to use his contacts in Aurora to locate her quickly.

By evening, they had some news. The woman turned out to be Jimena, the daughter of Dr. Hinks from the north district, and she was a medical student.

Erick advised against Raegan joining the search for Jimena, given the potential dangers involved.

Understanding her limitations, Raegan agreed that it was safer for her to stay behind. She urged Erick to be cautious and not make any hasty decisions.

After Erick departed, Raegan's heart raced with anticipation as she waited at home.

Meanwhile, at Davey's estate.

It was the day Casey was due for her regular acupuncture session.

Jimena stood at the entrance, waiting for the butler to let her in.

After checking Jimena's identity, the butler revealed a secret door leading to the basement.

Inside, Casey was seated by her bed, focused on her embroidery. She had convinced Davey to give her some custom-made needles for her craft after much persuasion.
