Tangled in his Obsession novel 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 determined. As soon as she got the footage, she immediately opened four videos at once, watching with full concentration.

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, I'll stay here with her."

Herman wanted to say something else, but knowing Leandro's personality, he gave up and left the room.

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.
