Chapter 410 Birthmark
Jeffrey turned to look at William, who promptly replied, “Madam, Mr. Harlow York has been mingling with women ever since he was a teenager. Although he wasn’t yet thirty ten years ago, it would still be difficult to
investigate…”
Jeffrey shot him a look, and William hastily assured, “But I will immediately send people to investigate,
difficult or not!”
“Why investigate the biological mother of that child? What do you know?” Jeffrey asked Melanie.
Melanie told him about the conversation she overheard between the man and woman while she was half-
conscious.
Jeffrey poured her a glass of warm water, watching her drink sip by sip.
“So, you think she saved you and doesn’t want to reveal her identity?”
Melanie nodded. “Yes. And I have a feeling that the identity of the child’s mother is crucial, and it hides a deep secret… Besides, since Harlow and I are already at odds, getting dirt on him would be advantageous and
harmless to me.”
Jeffrey nodded, agreeing with her. “You mentioned that the woman knows you’re a perfumer. If she’s not someone who has known you for a long time, then… Someone who can thoroughly investigate your background in Medonia in such a short time is none other than the four major families.”
Jeffrey pondered, and muttered, “Her subordinates called her ‘Miss‘…”
“She has a very elegant voice and a somewhat condescending tone, indicating she grew up in an affluent environment. Although the man called her ‘Miss,‘ she sounded like she had aged a bit.”
“How old is she?” Jeffrey squinted.
“Probably around forty, or even older.”
“She’s that much older than Harlow?”
Melanie nodded again. “Yes. So, when investigating Harlow’s rumored girlfriends, you can focus on women more than ten years older than him. Perhaps it’ll be easier.”
“Although the Yorks have the greatest influence, their family members are relatively simple. It seems that there’s no woman matching the age you mentioned. Among the other three major families, only a few family heads‘ wives are of that age, but they are controlled by their husbands and have little power. They aren’t as affluent and formidable as you described,” Jeffrey analyzed.
“Maybe it’s not someone from the four major families?” Melanie suggested.
Jeffrey nodded. “I’ll have someone investigate, to see if there are any other forces secretly operating in
Medonia during this period.”
“Oh, right.” Melanie suddenly thought of something. She unbuttoned her collar, and said to Jeffrey, “I seem to
+15 BONOS
Jeffrey looked at the spot behind her shoulder. Below her right shoulder, there was a small green birthmark, like a shining little sun. When he first slept with her, he thought it was a tattoo, but now, she said it was a
birthmark.
“The man said he suspected this was not a birthmark, saying it resembled some kind of technology…” Melanie
recalled.
“Wasn’t this birthmark something you had from childhood?” Jeffrey asked.
“It’s natural,” Melanie explained. “But I remember that when I was a child, the birthmark wasn’t like this. It was just a small, ordinary birthmark. Later, a circle of dots appeared on it and grew outward. At that time, my mom took me to the hospital, worried that the sudden change in the birthmark might cause problems. But after the examination, the doctor said there was no problem. It’s been like this ever since.”
Jeffrey lowered his head to think for a moment before asking. “When did it change?”
“When I was in high school.”
“During the two years when you had the heart surgery?” Jeffrey asked again.
Melanie nodded. She looked at his gradually deepening gaze, and asked in suspicion. “What’s wrong? What did you think of?”
*After a major surgery, there may be some changes in the human body, but since you heard them discussing this as some kind of technology… We can ask someone,” Jeffrey explained.
“Who?“”
“After I got into a car accident, other than the traditional medicine practitioner who helped me recover my health and treat my leg injuries that you’ve seen before, there was another medical genius. I can say that he saved my life. He’s proficient in various advanced medical technologies. If we ask him, he should know.” Jeffrey explained to her.
