Chapter 260
Seraphina had been staring in the direction where Bowen disappeared, her body as tense as a rock.
Leandro was holding her, not trying to stop her, and Seraphina didn’t try to break away either.
Leandro knew she was out of strength.
Even though she stayed composed, the worry for Sandra and the fear of losing her had already filled her heart.
“Do you want to stay here or go home and rest?” Leandro asked gently.
Seraphina stayed silent, it took her a while to snap back to reality, her eyes gradually regaining their calmness.
“I can’t stay here” Seraphina said, “I need to meet Herman!”
They left the hospital, driving to the police station where Herman was.
Leandro was holding Seraphina’s hand the whole time, while she kept staring out the window.
Both of them were silent throughout the journey.
Upon reaching the police station, Seraphina suddenly let go of Leandro’s hand and rushed into the office.
Even though it was already late at night, the office was still bustling with activity some were going through documents, some on the phone, and some were carefully watching the surveillance footage on their computers.
Herman had just come out of his office when he saw Seraphina, he was taken aback for a moment, then he saw Leandro following behind her.
Seraphina quickly walked up to him, “What’s the update? Any leads?”
Herman looked serious, ‘Nothing so far”
“What about the CCTV footage?” Seraphina asked, “There are surveillance cameras all over the place, you should be able to track a single car, right?”
“Despite the number of cameras, there are still many blind spots. Herman explained, “From the footage we have, there’s nothing suspicious about Keeley, nor can we link him to the incident with Sandra.”
Seraphina thought for a while, then asked, “What about private security cameras? Like the ones at storefronts or dash cams of passing -cars. If he did it, there has to be some evidence! Even if he’s not involved with this case, he must be linked to others!”
‘I know’ Herman said, “But the scope of the search is large, it will take time. It’s not something we can solve quickly.”
“I can help!” Seraphina said.
As soon as she finished her sentence, everyone in the busy office looked up at her.
Herman frowned, glanced at Leandro, and said, “That’s against the rules.”
Seraphina paused, then said, ‘As a person who knows about the case, as someone who already knew about Keeley’s actions and reported them, helping with the investigation shouldn’t break any rules, right?”
Herman fell silent for a moment, glanced at Leandro.
Leandro nodded.
Herman sighed. “Alright then, come with me.”
Seraphina was directed to a conference room and given a pile of surveillance footage.
Her next task was to find potential clues that might not even exist from this massive amount of footage.
It was a difficult and tedious task, but Seraphina was mined.
at once, watching with full concentration.
I
soon as she got the footage, she immediately opened four videos
Seeing her like this, Herman turned to Leandro, “I know she’s having a tough time. I’ll look after her, you should go home and rest”
“It’s alright.” Leandro said, “You go do your thing, Ill stay here with her.”
Herman wanted to say something else, but knowing Leandro’s personality, he gave up and left the room. From NôvelDrama.Org.
Leandro then moved to sit next to Seraphina.
Seraphina was focused on the computer screen, not even looking at him.
Leandro kept quiet, just sitting next to her, silently watching the busy surveillance footage on the screen with her.
She kept watching till dawn.
After a long and painful night, Seraphina was still in the same position, staring at the computer screen.
Leandro looked at her several times, but didn’t say anything.
There was a knock at the door, and Keen poked his head in, whispering. “Mr. Reynolds?”
He had an important shareholders’ meeting today and couldn’t waste time here.
Leandro leaned towards Seraphina, “I have to go to the office. You stay here and go through the footage, remember to eat.”
Seraphina kept staring at the computer screen, seemingly not hearing him.
Leandro paused, then said, “I’ve asked the hospital, they’ll let you know right away if there’s any news.”
Hearing this, Seraphina finally seemed to snap out of it, turning to look at him, and slowly nodded.
Leandro watched her quietly for a moment, kissed her lightly on the corner of her lips, then got up and left.
Because of some internal and overseas issues, Leandro spent the entire day in meetings.
As soon as the long day’s meetings were over, he rushed to the police station.
Upon arriving at the station, he opened the conference room door only to find Seraphina wasn’t there.
Turning around, he saw Herman rushing back.
“Leandro?” Herman saw him, came over and looked into the conference room, “Where’s Seraphina?”
Before Leandro could answer, Herman quickly turned to a colleague, “Where’s Seraphina?”
“Seraphina left.”
Leandro’s face darkened.
“She left?” Herman asked, “Where did she go? Did she say anything?”
“No, she didn’t say anything specifically,” the officer replied, “but before she left, she kept saying… its too slow…”
Herman looked at Leandro, “Leandro, should I come with you to look for her?”
“No,” Leandro replied, “Let her be.”
“What?”
Leandro gave him a glance and said, “Don’t sweat it. She’s not a fan of your way of doing things. If something like this happens, shell -definitely stir up some action. Otherwise, she wouldn’t be who she is now”
Leandro’s hunch was spot on.
To Seraphina, Herman’s approach was just too slow and inefficient.
She didn’t have time to waste; she needed to find out immediately whether Sandra’s situation was related to Keeley and if there was a
mastermind behind it.
She sat alone in the fanciest and busiest bar, after downing her seventh drink and shooing away a dozen guys trying to hit on her, she finally saw Keeley
She didn’t invite him, but this guy seemed to have a sixth sense for her.
When he appeared, Seraphina couldn’t help but chuckle.
Keeley immediately picked up on her abnormal behavior, unusually he dropped his flippant attitude, pushed away the glass in front of Seraphina, and looked at her with a slightly furrowed brow, “What’s up with you?”
“Take a guess,” Seraphina replied.
Keeley stared at her for a while, then laughed, “Not because of your
Usband again, is it?”
Seraphina also laughed. After laughing, she took the glass from Keeley’s hand, downed it in one gulp, then slowly said, “There are many people in this world who disappoint and despair me. But those who give me hope, there’s only one or two…”
“One or two?” Keeley tilted his head to look at her, asking, “Am I one 25.
Seraphina squinted slightly at him for a moment, then slowly nodded, “For now, you are one of them.”
Keeley, full of curiosity, asked further, “Who’s the other one?”
“My best friend,” Seraphina slowly said, ‘Yesterday morning, she crashed her car into the guardrail of the cross-river bridge, she and the car plunged into the river.”
The smile on Keeley’s face suddenly paused slightly.
