The Bound Between Us

Chapter 397

Pattie’s hair used to be thick, hiding the small birthmark. It would be impossible to notice it if she didn’t shave her hair

The more Salma stared at it, the more excited she became a theory began to form in her mind Pattie might well be the granddaughter she lost all those years ago. Such a distinct birthmark could not be a mere coincidence. Surely no one else could have one that was identical to her granddaughter’s
