Chapter 23


    Natalie shook her head once again. "I''ve had people search every antique shop in Ravenview City,


    but we haven''t found anything."


    Sebastian frowned. Based on his months-long investigation, both amulets had ended up in


    Ravenview City.


    Since they were antiques, the likelihood of them appearing in antique shops was high.


    However, the fact that they hadn''t been found was troubling. It was possible they had been hidden


    away, making the search even more challenging.


    And he was even more concerned that the amulets might no longer be in Ravenview City, which


    would be worse.


    …


    Meanwhile, Lillian was at the hospital for prenatal check-ups under her mother''s persuasion.


    "What? I''m not pregnant?"


    When Lillian heard the doctor say she wasn''t pregnant, she was dumbfounded.


    "No, that''s impossible. That jerk has slept with me twice already. You must be mistaken," Lillian


    said, shaking her head incredulously.


    "I can guarantee you, there''s no room for error in my examination. But if you''re skeptical, feel free to


    seek a second opinion elsewhere. However, I stand by my assessment''s reliability," the doctor said


    with unwavering confidence.


    "But I''ve taken a pregnancy test before," Lillian protested, perplexed.


    "Pregnancy tests can be inurate. Moreover, my recent gynecological examination confirms that


    you''re still a virgin. What led you to believe you were pregnant?" the doctor inquired.


    "Doctor, are you certain she''s still a virgin?" Evelyn interjected anxiously.


    "I am certain," the doctor affirmed.


    Evelyn felt a surge of relief. She had initially suspected that Lillian had been deceiving her, but


    seeing Lillian''s bewildered expression made her question that assumption.


    "Lillian, what''s going on?" Evelyn asked.


    "I don''t know," Lillian murmured as she walked out of the hospital, still bewildered.


    Despite sleeping with Sebastian twice, she couldn''t wrap her head around the fact that she was still


    technically a virgin.


    Had he not touched her at all?


    During the first encounter, she was intoxicated. Alongside her menstrual cycle, she couldn''t recall


    what had happened.


    Back then, she didn''t feel any pain, which was odd considering her innocence was gone. Now, she


    finally understood what happened that day.

    Sebastian hadn''t touched her—at least, not in the sense of taking her virginity.


    As for the second time, it was even simpler toprehend. Sebastian had given her a ss of


    water, and after drinking it, she had drifted off to sleep.


    He had ample opportunity to take advantage of her. So, why didn''t he?


    Did he have some kind of disability that prevented him from doing so? It was the only exnation


    she coulde up with to make sense of it all.


    Meanwhile, Evelyn was ecstatic. After leaving the hospital, she sent Lillian home on her own and


    headed to the Harris residence to share the good news with Lte.


    Lte was skeptical, but Evelyn hade prepared. Not only did she produce the test results, but


    she also provided Lte with the doctor''s contact information, urging her to verify the information


    herself.


    Despite her doubts, Lte visited the hospital apanied by the hospital director, ensuring that


    the doctor wouldn''t dare to lie to her.


    Even then, the doctor confidently assured her that the test results were authentic. Finally, this put


    Lte''s suspicions to rest.
