“You were right, Mr. Thomas,” he reported slowly. “Mrs. Thomas is indeed the person Leon had been searching for. During the investigation, we found out that Mrs. Thomas had an incident with fire which made her lose sof her memories.

Who it was didn’t matter. What truly mattered, was the fact that Millie was really the one Leon was searching for.
Marcus seemed to have stopped breathing. He couldn’t move a single muscle.

Marcus’ eyes snapped up at the man. “Don’t you have confidence in me?”
