Cooper was supposed to have passed away more than ten years ago. If the person who appeared at the airport seven years ago was really Cooper Mitchell, it meant that he was still alive. Michael was absolutely certain that the person was Cooper. There’s no way I’m mistaken. Cooper is still alive!
Meanwhile, Abel had received the photo and started scanning it on his computer. Although it was a photo taken seven years ago, the resolution was still pretty high as the man’s face was clearly visible. Upon a closer look, the man in the photo resembled the Cooper that Abel remembered.
Taking Sophia’s descriptions of the man into consideration, Abel was a hundred percent sure that it was Cooper Mitchell. However, he still decided to scan the photo to make sure he wasn’t mistaken.
When the dinner was over, all of them returned to their respective hotel rooms. Inside the room, Sophia was clad in pajamas with animal patterns as she paced around anxiously and waited for the outcome.
“It’s a ninety-nine percent match.” Abel revealed the result.
Hearing that, Sophia became teary out of excitement. That’s really Cooper! He’s still alive!
When Abel was done with the scan, he started searching for the flight information of the airport where Cooper appeared before. According to the date shown in the photo, and the time when the flight delay happened, they figured out the accurate time of Cooper’s appearance.
Having found out the time and location, they managed to get the surveillance footage quickly. Since it was a small airport with only a few surveillance cameras, Abel soon found the part with Cooper in it.
The torrential rain caused all the flights to be canceled and countless travelers to be stranded. Facing away from the camera, a man in a black coat was walking toward the cafe in the airport. As though he was isolated from the outside world, he faced away from the crowd and didn’t look as grumpy as the others.
The cafe was full of people. Then, the man put down his luggage and ordered a cup of coffee. Following that, he took a seat in a quiet corner as he enjoyed his book and his drink. When the man’s face was shown to the camera, it was none other than Cooper Mitchell!
The anxious and uptight atmosphere in the airport didn’t seem to have affected him at all, for he retained his patient, elegant and regal-look. Cooper looked a little different from the photo Sophia saw at the Mitchell Residence. With those blue eyes, he looked like a Caucasian rather than a biracial person. However, in this footage, he appeared to have lost his charisma and aggressiveness as the head of the Mitchell Family. In the footage, he was just a handsome yet ordinary man.
When he discovered that Nicole had taken a sneak shot of him, he simply put on a smile and told her to delete the photo. Perchance due to him being relieved of the burden as the head of the Mitchell Family, he seemed to have aged backward. In this footage, he appeared to be overly young to the point where he looked like a teenage boy.
Sophia trembled in excitement as her tears rolled down her face. “It’s him. My dad is still alive!”
Perhaps it was destiny. Just when she had given up on looking for Cooper, the picture of her father was shown to her unexpectedly. Nevertheless, Sophia tried her best to compose herself and calm down. Now that she had proof that Cooper was still alive, she would have to look for him.
