Chapter 1074: Chapter 1173

Ivy quickly tried to console me.

“Don’t lose hope.

The clue must be in a secretive spot, considering it’s about mixed-blood witches.

Your mom wouldn’t have left it out in the open.

”

I shook my head, my face a picture of defeat.

“But Ivy, the room isn’t that large.

Where else could she have hidden it? I’ve checked every nook, including the bed, the quilt, the pillowcases, and even the floor.

If this room weren’t on the second floor, I might have even dug through the floor.

”

Ivy didn’t know what to say.

Her attempt at consolation couldn’t overcome the harsh reality, and she fell silent.

She had seen my entire search, so she was aware there was nothing hidden in the room.

After one last look around the room, Ivy finally said, “Let’s stop here.

We won’t search anymore.

”

My gaze dropped, and in a hushed tone, I expressed my dismay.

“Our investigation of mixed-blood witches is a dead end.

What should I do now?”

Ivy offered comfort me.

“Don’t worry.

We’ll find another way.

”

I let out a sigh and got up, intending to discuss the matter with my father, but I felt lightheaded from bending over during the search.

So, I had to sit down again.

After a short rest, I felt better, so I stood up and headed for the door.

To my astonishment, just as I reached the door, Elena and Dylan came running towards me, with Caleb and my father right behind them.

“Mommy!” The children embraced me.

“We missed you so much!”

With a smile, I caressed their heads.

Their unexpected presence surprised me, as my father usually took them out and they’d return only by dinner.

Caleb had his commitments too, since my father’s men had been unable to track the figure in a black cloak for a while.

Frustrated, Caleb had joined my father in his endeavors.

Why were they all here together today? It seemed odd, so I just had to ask, “Didn’t you guys go out? Why have you come back so early?”

My father explained with a smile, “Elena missed you while she was playing with Dylan, prompting us to visit.

”

“Understood,” I replied, then turned to Caleb.

“And you, love? What brings you here?”

Caleb replied, “I was discussing strategies with your dad’s team on locating the figure in black.

After the meeting, I planned to see you.

I encountered the kids and your dad on the way, so we all ended up here together.

”

“Got it,” I acknowledged.

The children looked up with cheerful grins.

“Mommy, what were you up to here? Why didn’t you join us?”

Bright smiles adorned their youthful faces, their large eyes blinking now and then, showcasing the innocence unique to children.

As I saw their innocent grins, my fatigue vanished instantly, along with any feelings of sadness and gloom.

I knelt down, brushed the children’s cheeks, and whispered, “This is your grandma’s room, and I was reminiscing about her.
