However, if they were to assume it was true, there were numerous unexplainable aspects such as why would Xavia have kept this information hidden from Joseph. Considering her current physical condition, pregnancy entailed significant risks. Also, why had she chosen to go to Cloude City? There weren’t many tourist attractions in that small town.

At that very moment, a young couple strolled past them.

“I’ve already told you. I can’t get an abortion if I’m already six months pregnant. Are you trying to avoid paying the dowry?” the girl exclaimed.

“No, sweetheart. We will get married eventually. I promise I’ll earn enough to pay the dowry in the future…”

As Chloe observed the young couple as they slowly disappeared from sight. A momentary spark of inspiration ignited within her, though it slipped away before she could fully seize it. Beside her, Icarus, who had been silent, revealed a fleeting glimmer of curiosity in his eyes.
