Chapter 410 Birthmark Jeffrey turned to look at William, who promptly replied, âMadam, Mr. Harlow York has been mingling with women ever since he was a teenager. Although he wasnât yet thirty ten years ago, it would still be difficult to investigate...â
Jeffrey shot him a look, and William hastily assured, âBut I will immediately send people to investigate, difficult or not!â
âWhy investigate the biological mother of that child? What do you know?â 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.
âSo, you think she saved you and doesnât want to reveal her identity?â
Melanie nodded. âYes. And I have a feeling that the identity of the childâs 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.â
Jeffrey nodded, agreeing with her. âYou mentioned that the woman knows youâre a perfumer. If sheâs 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.â
Jeffrey pondered, and muttered, âHer subordinates called her âMissâ...â
âShe has a very elegant voice and a somewhat condescending tone, indicating she grew up in an affluent environment. Although the man called her âMiss,â she sounded like she had aged a bit.â
âHow old is she?â Jeffrey squinted.
âProbably around forty, or even older.â
âSheâs that much older than Harlow?â
Melanie nodded again. âYes. So, when investigating Harlowâs rumored girlfriends, you can focus on women more than ten years older than him. Perhaps itâll be easier.â
âAlthough the Yorks have the greatest influence, their family members are relatively simple. It seems that thereâs no woman matching the age you mentioned. Among the other three major families, only a few family headsâ wives are of that age, but they are controlled by their husbands and have little power. They arenât as affluent and formidable as you described,â Jeffrey analyzed.
âMaybe itâs not someone from the four major families?â Melanie suggested.
Jeffrey nodded. âIâll have someone investigate, to see if there are any other forces secretly operating in Medonia during this period.â
âOh, right.â Melanie suddenly thought of something. She unbuttoned her collar, and said to Jeffrey, âI 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.
âThe man said he suspected this was not a birthmark, saying it resembled some kind of technology...â Melanie recalled.
âWasnât this birthmark something you had from childhood?â Jeffrey asked.
âItâs natural,â Melanie explained. âBut I remember that when I was a child, the birthmark wasnât 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.
Itâs been like this ever since.â
Jeffrey lowered his head to think for a moment before asking. âWhen did it change?â
âWhen I was in high school.â
âDuring the two years when you had the heart surgery?â Jeffrey asked again.
Melanie nodded. She looked at his gradually deepening gaze, and asked in suspicion. âWhatâs wrong? What did you think of?â
*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,â Jeffrey explained.
âWho?ââ
âAfter I got into a car accident, other than the traditional medicine practitioner who helped me recover my health and treat my leg injuries that youâve seen before, there was another medical genius. I can say that he saved my life. Heâs proficient in various advanced medical technologies. If we ask him, he should know.â Jeffrey explained to her.
