Chapter 779

At that moment, Nicholas, who had been standing next to Caleb, pulled out a box.

He handed it to Bianca with both his hands and suggested, “Open it up and take a look, Old Mrs. Yates.”

Bianca didn't care if the gifts were expensive. All that mattered to her was if any thought had been put into

selecting it.

She had lived for a very long time. When she was younger, she had followed Keanu when he was piloting a plane or

going to the battlefield. Now that she was getting on in the years, all she wanted was the company of her

descendants.

It was why, unlike the surrounding guests, she wasn't excited to see what kind of expensive gift Nicholas had

prepared. After all, she had seen plenty of those in her life already.

She gently opened the box.

When Bianca saw the handkerchief inside the box, her expression changed, and she stood abruptly. “This is...”

She carefully took the handkerchief out and stared at it seriously with wide eyes.

The crowd was confounded by her reaction as they thought it was just a normal handkerchief.

They didn't understand why she had such a big reaction.

Bianca examined the handkerchief with awe and disbelief. “This flower was done by using an overlock stitch while

this bird was sewn using a straight stitch! Look at this! The large word 'Longevity' here is made up of a hundred

smaller 'Longevity!' Don't look down on this small handkerchief. Even a master embroiderer like Leslie wouldn't be

able to create such perfect stitches!”

“Are you kidding me, Old Mrs. Yates? Does this small handkerchief really have a hundred 'Longevity' words on it?”

Someone couldn't help but question because they found it hard to believe.

“It really does!” Bianca smiled. “Matilda, bring me a magnifying glass.”

Matilda quickly went to grab a magnifying glass. Thankfully, the castle had everything, and all the tools inside were

stored tidily.

After a while, she returned with a magnifying glass. Bianca grabbed it and positioned it above the “Longevity” word.

As she did so, the crowd saw that it was indeed made up of many small versions of the word “Longevity.”

“Oh my god!”

“Old Mrs. Yates really isn't lying!”

“It really is a hundred smaller 'Longevity' forming one large 'Longevity!' Mr. Powell clearly put a lot of thought into

his gift!”

“It's probably going to be hard to find another handkerchief like this in the world! Who's the creator of this?”

“I'm really curious about this master embroiderer who's apparently even more talented than Leslie!”

Bianca sighed wistfully. “I've seen a similar work like this once, more than ten years ago in Lake City. Back then, a

graceful woman made a handkerchief just like this during a light rain before giving it to me. I've preserved it ever

since. I didn't expect to see her work again after so many years! This is truly the work of fate.”

“Are you saying you already have a handkerchief like this?” Caleb stared at her with shock. The embroiderer we

know should have only been a child more than ten years ago. There's no way she could do something like that back

then. Why is Old Mrs. Yates saying Nicholas' gift was made by the same person?

At that moment, Bianca ordered Matilda to bring her the old handkerchief she mentioned and put it on the table for

everyone to see.

Both handkerchiefs were almost of the same size.

The only difference was that her old handkerchief only had a single 'Longevity' stitched in the center with red

strings. The rest of the handkerchief was clean and wasn't decorated with any other stitches, while the one Nicholas

gave her had birds and flowers surrounding the center.

Even people who didn't know anything about embroidery could tell the way the two “Longevity” words were

stitched were the same.

“Can you let me meet the person who made this, Mr. Powell?” Bianca asked emotionally. “It's been more than ten

years since I last met her. She saved my life back then, but I couldn't find her afterward. I...”

Nicholas cast a troubled look at her and explained, “It's not that I don't want to let you meet her, Old Mrs. Yates. It's

just that... I also don't know who she is. I gave you this present today because I have a request I hope you'll fulfill.”
