Chapter 398 A Heavy Blow

“Mr. Hawkins, what’s going on? Didn’t you say you wanted to help Ms. Lewis? Why are we leaving?” Larry bombarded Benjamin with a series of questions, but Benjamin remained silent.

“Mr. Hawkins, what’s going on?” Larry pressed on.

Benjamin said nothing and replied, “Let’s go back, Larry.”

Larry pursed his l*ps. He had no choice but to comply.

Earlier, Benjamin had been determined to seek justice for Grace, but now he seemed like he had been dealt a heavy blow. This piqued Larry’s curiosity even more.

Just then, Benjamin suddenly asked, “Has Grace returned?”

Larry quickly replied, “Ms. Lewis is still in Coronia. She hasn’t returned.”

Benjamin fell into deep thought. “Arrange a plane to Coronia.”

Despite his confusion over Benjamin’s sudden decision, Larry followed his instructions.

“Yes, Mr. Hawkins.”

For two days, Grace and Xander had no new leads. It seemed the person behind this had noticed something and hid better, leaving no traces behind.

This made Grace very suspicious. It was as if the person had inside information and knew she

and Xander hadn’t returned to Pamore.

At that moment, Callum obtained some new knowledge. “Xander, I found the hospital where Jessica had her plastic surgery.”

Grace’s eyes lit up at his words. “Where is it?”

Callum handed the medical records he had found to Xander and Grace.

“Jessica is quite cunning. She didn’t use her name for the surgeries, which is why we couldn’t replace any crucial information before.

“According to the investigation, she had over 20 surgeries in total! Four skin graft surgeries and various facial reconstruction procedures of varying degrees.”

Xander nodded and handed the medical records to Grace. “Gracie, take a look. Do you notice anything unusual?”

Grace looked through the medical records, and when she saw the name on the page, she

furrowed her brow.

The name on the medical records was “Anna”.

She couldn’t help but ask, “Did Jessica use the name ‘Anna’?”

Callum was uncertain about this.

“Maybe. According to these medical records, she consistently used the name Anna. Also, we found before-and-after comparison pictures from her plastic surgery in the medical records …

Callum trailed off and added, “I have to say, her burn injuries had been quite severe! Almost half of her face had been destroyed.

“It’s truly remarkable to see how well she recovered. It’s surprising to see how advanced plastic surgery has become.”

By the time he finished speaking, Grace had already turned to the page with the photos, and what she saw was a half-burned face due to a massive fire.

As Callum had mentioned, Jessica’s burn injuries had been very severe. Almost half of her face had scars from the fire. Her features were hardly recognizable.

Even her arms hadn’t been spared and were covered in scars.

“I can only imagine the hardships she must have gone through to recover so well.” Neither skin graft nor plastic surgery could have been an easy process.

“But I’m quite curious. Can one look the way they used to without leaving any

scars?”
