Chapter 373


Once she got back to the apartment, Seraphina’s moving adventure officially kicked off.


All the stuff Abbot had people buy were still down in the lobby. Only after Seraphina returned did the hauling upstairs begin.


Aside from Abbot, there were two bodyguards with Seraphina, but she wouldn’t let them lend a hand. She hoisted those boxes up the stairs herself, one box at a


time.


It was peak time for the people living here to come home, and Seraphina, going up and down in the elevator with her stuff, naturally bumped into a lot of them.


Although city folks nowadays tend to be pretty aloof, most were willing to exchange a word or two with a lady as good-looking and warm as Seraphina.


So, she spent the evening recycling a few phrases-


“I just moved in. I’ll be working around here.”


“I’m taking over my sister’s lease. 702. The place is not half bad.”


“My sister used to live in 702, for about three months. Have you seen her? We’re like two peas in a pod!”


After hauling up dozens of boxes, Seraphina had met over twenty people. But none of them had seen the previous tenant of 702.


A few did recall seeing caregivers and helpers coming in and out of 702, but none of them were locals.


So, Seraphina did glean some useful info: there were caregivers and helpers in the apartment, which meant the person living there for those three months was likely someone needs help.


Given the lack of sightings of the tenant, it’s fair to guess that the person must have been seriously ill.


Once the apartment quieted down, Seraphina retreated to her room, pulled up a photo of a restaurant on her laptop, and studied it intently.


In the photo, the woman who looked a lot like Sandra had her eyes obscured by a duckbill hat, but her lips and jawline looked stiff.


Bowen, sitting next to her, seemed to be quite tender, portioning food onto her plate. The woman, however, wore a cold expression void of any sweetness or tenderness.


Seraphina stared at the photo for a long time, until her phone rang, snapping her out of it.


She picked up her phone. It was a video call from Andrea.


Seraphina took the call, and Andrea and Valerio’s faces popped up on the screen.


Valerio waved excitedly at Seraphina, but his smile quickly faded, and his eyes lost their sparkle.


Andrea ruffled his hair and said, “We just got out of the airport, now we’re taking Valerio home.”


Then she spotted the background behind Seraphina, “Where are you?”


“Moonhaven,” Seraphina answered nonchalantly, “In an apartment that’s supposedly haunted.”


Andrea, used to Seraphina’s blunt style, was calm. She simply said, “It’s late over there. Get some rest. Deal with things tomorrow.”


“Sure,” Seraphina replied, “As long as you guys are safe, I’m good. I’m gonna go to bed now.”


Even though she said that, she stayed put in front of her computer after hanging up and continued to gaze at the photo on the screen.


Meanwhile, in Sunburst City.


On the way to the city from the airport, Keen made two phone calls then turned to Andrea, “Ms. Martin, we’ll drop you off at home first, then I’ll take Valerio straight


to the Reynolds Group. Mr. Reynolds hasn’t seen him in a while. They should have a good time together this afternoon.”


Andrea thought for a moment and replied, “No need to drop me off first. Let’s go to the Reynolds Group. I’ll bring him to his dad and then leave.”


Keen didn’t argue and they went on their way.


When they arrived at the office, Andrea, hand in hand with Valerio, made their way to the 26th floor and into Leandro’s office.


Valerio, having not seen Leandro in almost a month, ran into his arms the moment he saw him.


Leandro held him, then looked at Andrea.


With a small smile, Andrea said, “I’ll leave him with you. I’ll be going now.”


Leandro simply nodded. Andrea said goodbye to Valerio then turned and left.


Keen was taken aback. He whispered, “I thought she came to say something to you. I didn’t expect she just wanted to hand Valerio over to you personally.”


Leandro wasn’t surprised. After patting Valerio’s head, he told Keen, “Take Ms. Martin home.”


“Alright,” Keen answered, then hurried to catch up with Andrea.


Leandro then turned his attention back to Valerio. After a moment, he said, “You seem a bit taller?”


Valerio, excited, stood up. Then, pulling Leandro to the lounge area, he showed him the drawings from his backpack.


The drawings consisted of landscapes, buildings, and mostly everyday scenes, with Seraphina featuring prominently in them. There she stood, sat, laughed, and daydreamed.


Leandro carefully examined each drawing. After a while, he said, “Very good. You’ve improved.”


At the praise, Valerio beamed. Finally, he walked over to Leandro, eyes wide, looking at him expectantly.


Leandro could clearly read Valerio’s thoughts through his eyes.


With a small smile, he didn’t hide his emotions, “Yes, I miss her,”


Upon hearing this, Valerio frowned.


Leandro rubbed his head again, saying slowly, “When it’s time for her to come back, she’ll come back.”


The next morning, the first thing Seraphina did when she got up was to head to the familiar Agency S.


She used to hang out mainly in Velvetwood, so moving to Moonhaven was a bit of a challenge. Luckily, she was well-acquainted with a few journalists from the communication agencies, so she didn’t hesitate to seek their help..


Her mission was to investigate the patient records of Mercy LifeCare Hospital, paying special attention to the women from Sunburst City who had been treated there since April.


The hospital’s privacy protection system was very strict, making such information hard to get. However, for a meticulous investigative journalist, nothing is impossible.


Throughout the morning, Seraphina visited several journalist friends in Moonhaven, entrusting them with this task.


Around noon, Seraphina left Agency S. As the elevator door opened, she bumped into someone she knew.


Patrick and his assistant were inside the elevator, discussing something. Seeing Seraphina standing outside, Patrick gave a slight smile.


Seeing him didn’t surprise Seraphina. After all, Agency S was this man’s company, and she had even calculated the probability of running into him here.


According to her calculations, the chances of meeting him were over 70%.


As it turned out, her calculations were spot on.


Seraphina also broke into a smile, “Looks like Mr. Gray has to treat me to lunch today.”
