Chapter 286 Birthmark


    "I don''t know the details either. It was so long ago and I was too young to remember anything. I only


    know my parents They said that Aunt Helena saved Laura and we owe her. So, we should respect her


    and treat her as our family. "


    "Got it." ra nodded thoughtfully, and then asked, "Who kidnapped your sister then?"


    "We sent investigators and reported to the police. But still, we couldn''t track down the kidnappers."


    Logan frowned. "Since Laura didn''t get harmed or anything, we just let this matter go."


    ra grew even more suspicious after hearing Logan''s answer. "Helena saving Laura has to be more


    than coincidental. How on earth did Helena knock out those kidnappers and save Laura? It doesn''t


    make any sense.


    The Hutchinson family has connections almost everywhere. The group of kidnappers should be a big


    target. Howe they didn''t find anything? Unless there are no kidnappers at all."


    The more ra thought about it, the surer she became about her spection.


    ra took a sip of her coffee, trying her best to force the shock down and act calm. "Logan, Laura''s

    birthday ising around, isn''t it?"


    Logan shook his head as he smiled at ra. "Not even close. Laura''s birthday is September 12. I''ll


    make sure you are invited to her birthday party."


    "Thanks." ra smiled back. "September 12. That is only a few days away from my birthday.


    Could it be... No, it''s impossible." It seemed absurd to her just to think about it.


    "Helena wouldn''t do such a thing. It can''t be her. It can''t be." ra told herself in the back of her mind.


    Logan looked at ra, who was staring nkly at her coffee with total disbelief in her eyes and


    mumbling, "It can''t be..."


    He asked in puzzlement, "What''s wrong? What can''t be? "


    "Oh." Logan''s voice brought ra back from her daze. "Nothing."


    ra looked at Logan, feelings mixed. "No wonder I feel so close to Logan. He could be my..." ra


    forced the thought out of her head.


    "I just remembered that I have something to deal with right now. Sorry, but I have to go," ra said to


    Logan apologetically.


    Logan smiled nonchntly. "It''s alright. Thanks for asking me out today and allowing me to take a


    break from my tight schedule."


    "No worries." ra was very grateful for Logan''s understanding, "Catch youter then."


    "Do you need a ride?"


    "No, I''m fine," ra said. "It''s only a few minutes'' walk from here. No need to trouble you."


    "Okay then." Logan didn''t insist. He knew that sometimes what he thought was kindness could be a


    trouble to others.


    After saying goodbye, ra went to the library in the city center.


    She had to get to the bottom of this kidnap case. The daughter of the Hutchinson family being


    kidnapped was major news. It should be in the newspapers back then.


    After arriving at the library, ra asked the librarian where she could find the newspapers from more


    than two decades ago.


    The librarian was an elderly woman. She nced at ra skeptically and asked, "It might be a little


    tricky. What do you need that for? We haven''t been able to categorize resources from that long ago."


    "I need that for a report our magazine is nning on doing." ra made up an excuse.


    The librarian nodded without asking any further questions, and took ra to a storage room in the


    basement. "All the old newspapers are here. There arebels on each stack. Look for it yourself."


    "Thank you," ra said with a smile.


    "No biggie. Just don''t jumble up everything. Reorganizing those would be a pain." With that, the


    librarian turned around and left.


    ra was getting a headache when she saw the endless stacks of newspapers lining up in front of her.


    It would take forever for her to find the one she was looking for.


    After a whole afternoon spent in the storage room, ra finally found it. She smiled, hurriedly tted


    out the newspaper on the ground, and started reading.


    It turned out that when Laura was kidnapped in the delivery room before members of the Hutchinson


    family got to take a look at her. After the kidnappers got the ransom, they just left Laura there and ran


    away. Later, Laura was found by a kind woman and sent back to the hospital.


    Thinking of what Logan just told her earlier, ra spected that this woman in the piece of news must


    be Helena.


    But ra still felt that something was off. If they had never seen Laura when she was born, how did


    they know the kid that Helena brought back was Laura? What if it was the wrong baby?


    ra gave Logan a call with these questions in mind. She needed to know what on earth happened


    back then.


    "Hey, ra. What''s the matter?" Logan didn''t know why ra was calling at this hour. They just met


    earlier this day.


    ra asked directly, "Logan, I just want to ask how did you know that the baby my mother brought


    back is your sister?"


    "Where did thate from?" Logan was confused by ra''s sudden interest in this topic.


    "Just answer my question. I''ll exin it to youter."


    Sensing that this might be an urgent matter, Logan didn''t ask much but reply, "The nurse said that there


    was a birthmark in the shape of a butterfly on my sister''s waist when she was born. We also found that


    on the baby Aunt Helena brought back. That''s how we know."


    Hearing that, ra''s face was drained of color. She squeezed the phone in her hand, unable to utter a


    word.


    ra also had a birthmark on her waist. It was also in the shape of a... butterfly.
