Hogwarts: The Founder Reborn

Chapter 64 The missing baby



"Ma'am, is there anything I can help you with?"

Claire observed the woman in front of her in amazement. This was a young and beautiful lady with brilliant and pure blond hair and blue eyes, like a doll.

The woman twitched, her eyes were red, and she whispered, "My child is gone."

"What?" Claire asked with a smile. "Ma'am, could you please repeat that? What's missing from you?"

The woman raised her head, staring at her with red eyes.

"My child, my child!"

Claire froze, kid?This woman obviously looks very young, but she already has a child.

"Is the child missing?" Claire looked at the snow-covered road outside, showing a trace of anxiety. Losing a child in this weather is dangerous.

"Then do you remember where you saw your child at the last moment?"

The woman lowered her head again. She grabbed her skirt and said reluctantly, "The park...is a park."

"Park?" Claire was a little confused, why is it a park? "So, where is the park? Why do you want to go to the park?"

"The chair is a chair in the park." The young woman replied stumbled. "I just put him on the chair for a while, and when I looked back, he was gone."

etc?Looking back?

Claire looked at the woman, and couldn't help but mutter in her heart.

"Why did you put the baby in the chair?"

Ke Leiya's question made the woman hesitate for a long time before she said reluctantly: "I've been holding him all the time, I'm very tired, I just want to put him down for a while, I just want to take a rest, just take a rest."

She looked up at Claire, and saw the questioning in Claire's eyes.

"My baby is missing!" she emphasized. "That's my child! My child! I'm his mother!"

Claire was taken aback, and instinctively took a step back, trying to say something to comfort her.

"Of course, ma'am, I know it's your child. How about we... how about we continue to talk about the characteristics of the child? When your child disappeared, um... how old is he?"

"Four months..."

Ke Leiya showed a surprised expression again, she held back her screams, then took a few deep breaths and said, "How big is it?"

"Four months," said the woman. "A boy, so big..." the woman gestured.

Seeing the woman in front of her gesticulate with her size, Ke Leiya only felt it was absurd.

"You dumped a four-month-old on a park chair?"

She finished these words almost holding her breath, and then couldn't help but look at this woman with reproachful eyes.

"..." She froze for a moment, as if she didn't understand why Ke Leiya looked at her eyes full of blame and disgust.

"When?" Claire took a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.

"Yesterday afternoon, it was almost five o'clock or six o'clock... I don't remember the exact time."

"Yesterday..." Claire's chest rose and fell violently. "When did you go back and find that he was gone?"

The woman is silent.

Ke Leiya had no choice but to resist the words she wanted to accuse the woman, and continued to ask: "So, does that child have any other characteristics?"

"He has curly blond hair, very thin, but soft, his eyes are like mine, and his skin is very fair."

Ke Leiya reminded: "So, what about the clothes he was wearing that day?"

"Clothes?" the woman said in a daze. "I wrapped him in my own coat, a woolen coat, and it was brown."

Ke Leiya asked the address of the park again, she left the address of the woman, and began to inform her colleagues to find the baby abandoned by her mother.

"A four-month-old child who was left in the park by his mother? Or was it like yesterday that it snowed all day long?"

"Unless that child is picked up by a kind person, he won't be able to survive the weather yesterday."

Ke Leiya knew that what her colleague said was correct. She couldn't understand the woman's behavior of throwing away her child. She actually had the face to ask herself and her colleagues to help her find the child.

She should be sent to jail!

That was outright murder!

Drop a baby in a deserted park in the snow!

Correia's colleagues did not find the baby as expected, and even the residents next to the park did not hear whether there was a baby crying nearby late yesterday.

But no baby was found on all the chairs in that park, which may be good news.

It wasn't until Corleia saw a man the next day, a man holding a baby.

He looks so good.

"I hear a child is missing?"

Ke Leiya looked at the child who was sleeping soundly in his arms, the child was tightly wrapped.

The man carefully opened one corner, so he could see the child's pink and tender face and the sparse golden curly hair.

"You are in a park..."

"On a bench in a park, I would occasionally go for a walk in that park, and I found him." The man shook the child in his arms, making him sleep more comfortably.

"You know that too, Miss." The man smiled. "It snowed so much yesterday, and I didn't see anyone. It was impossible for me to watch this child alone in that place, so I took it back to my home."

Claire looked at the man's handsome face, showing shyness, but she admired the man's kindness even more in her heart.

"Obviously, you saved him."

Claire searched her mind, trying to find some more beautiful words to praise the man in front of her.

The man just smiled gently: "I think, in that situation, anyone would be like me."

"Are you going to see his mother? I think she should thank you very much."

Ke Leiya carefully delivered the child from the man's hand. The child slept soundly. She smiled and her eyes became much gentler.

"Forget it, kind lady."

Claire shook her head, refusing the man's thanks, but instead expressed her gratitude to the man very graciously.

The hand inside the man's sleeve was holding a wooden stick. Claire just glanced at it and didn't pay attention.

"What did his family say?"

The man seemed to be just curious and asked.

Regarding the woman yesterday, Ke Leiya had a lot of opinions. Although she didn't want to say anything wrong, she still couldn't help but speak out when facing the man in front of her after holding back her words for a whole day.

"Just because my boyfriend abandoned me, I almost killed an innocent child. It's too much."

Hearing Claire's complaints, the man smiled, and then his eyes twinkled.

"Miss, actually I have an idea, can you tell me?"

Claire raised her head and met the man's eyes.

"Perhaps, you can ask that poor mother who was abandoned by her boyfriend (re-reading) to find other family members of the child's biological father." The man looked a little weird whether he was smiling or not. "Perhaps, what can the family of the child's biological father do to help that woman?"

Claire answered the man's question in a daze: "I think what you said is right, sir."

"That couldn't be better."

The man smiled, bid farewell to Claire, and left the police station.
