Chapter 375
When Patrick heard Seraphina’s question, he paused for a moment, but didn’t dodge it.
He just flashed a small smile and said, “I’m guessing the person you’ve been busting your hump to find is about this age, right?”
Seraphina gently shook her head, “This answer doesn’t make much sense.”
Patrick couldn’t help but chuckle, then said, “Seraphina, trust me on this. You’ve helped me crack cases before and everything I’m doing is to help you.”
Hearing this, Seraphina silently looked at him.
In a way, Patrick saying this was like admitting something.
“Did you send me that photo?” Seraphina asked.
Patrick probably didn’t expect her to be so blunt, he could only nod helplessly.
Seraphina’s eyes stiffened a bit.
“Why didn’t you just come to me directly, but instead make me come to Moonhaven in this roundabout way?”
Patrick pondered for a moment, then said, “I didn’t want you to misunderstand me, thinking I had ulterior motives.”
This involved Bowen, and Bowen had ties to the Martin family. To Patrick, the Martin family was something special.
Patrick’s words could be understood.
“If you wanted to avoid any misunderstandings, then you shouldn’t have shown up in front of me.” Seraphina said.
Patrick slowly nodded, showing a helpless smile, “I know, but I just want to help you. I know it’s the right thing to do.”
Seraphina pondered for a while and said, “You’ve indeed helped me a lot. Can you tell me now the whole story behind this photo?”
“The photo was taken unintentionally by one of my guys. Bowen is not a nobody in my book, so they snapped it.” Patrick explained, “I only realized the girl in the photo might be important to you when I saw the news about your charity auction.”
Hearing this, Seraphina’s body stiffened involuntarily.
Since receiving that photo, she had never admitted that the person in it was Sandra.
The reason she was so eager to investigate was just to see who the woman in the photo was, and why she looked so much like Sandra.
She dared not to think about the possibility that Sandra’s still alive, because she didn’t want to give herself false hope.
But now, with Patrick directly stating that the person in the photo might be important to her, Seraphina felt a pang.
This sting even made her a bit angry.
“I want to know who the person in the photo is, but that doesn’t mean she’s important to me,” Seraphina said.
Patrick seemed to understand her feelings, hearing her emotional words, he just nodded and said, “Alright, I’ll help you investigate who the woman in the photo is.”
Seraphina didn’t refuse.
The identity of the woman in the photo had become her main concern now. If she could utilize Patrick’s connections to quickly find out this woman’s information, it wouldn’t hurt.
The answer to this question appeared in Patrick’s hands the next day.
Seraphina saw the woman’s passport information on Patrick’s computer.
The woman’s name was Leilani Sawyer, from Riverside Haven, born in ’90. Aside from her face, which was almost identical to Sandra’s, her personal information didn’t overlap with Sandra’s at all.
However, she appeared next to Bowen, and over a month ago, left Starhaven with him.
Seraphina stared at the passport information for quite a while.
Seeing her silence, Patrick finally asked, “Any thoughts?”
