Chapter 250
The doctor looked a little shaken by Mamie’s appearance. “Are you alright p>
Mamie shook her head. “Could you check who was the doctor who delivered my baby p>
The doctor’s expression grew odd. “That was me. Now that you mention it, you do look familiar. After you gave birth, your emotions were all over the place, but your parents and brother took you home right away p>
Parents? Mamie glanced at the time, then pulled up the photo from the tombstone on her phone. “Doctor, were these the people who took me home p>
The doctor shook his head. “No, I don’t think so. The mother had long, curly hair.” Mamie’s face changed. She dug out a photo of her adoptive parents. “Was it them p>
“That looks like them, yes p>
Mamie’s mind was spinning. Where was her baby? Had he just disappeared?
Her adoptive dad was still in the hospital, recovering from his injuries. Her adoptive mom was there, taking care of him. Barging in right now would only make things worse for her dad’s health.
But Mamie just stood on the sidewalk, lost, cars rushing by in every direction. She had no idea where she should go.
A black business car rolled up and stopped right in front of her. The back window slid down.
Mamie met a familiar pair of dark eyes. Her throat tightened. “Scott p>
Scott kept it short. “Get in p>
He didn’t wait for a reply. “Where do you need to go? I’ll drive you p>
Mamie remembered that they were still supposed to be playing the fake couple. Right now, she just didn’t have the energy to keep it up.
“Alright, Scott. Actually, I need to talk to you anyway p>
Dixon drove them to a quiet spot, then slipped out of the car to give them some privacy.
Mamie took a deep breath and looked up at Scott. “Scott, I think we should stop pretending. The whole couple act… Let’s drop it p>
Scott’s eyes narrowed just a bit. “Why? Did you meet someone else p>
Mamie shook her head. “No. I’ll
explain everything to my parents. I’m
broke
we
fsygu want to tell your dative
up, or if you want say was all my fault, that’s fine too.
She paused, then added, “Sorry p>
She’d apologized twice, but Scott just sat there, silent, the light catching on his silver-rimmed glasses. His silence made her even more nervous.
“Mamie, do you really still not see it p>
She blinked, confused. “See what p>
“I’m trying to date you p>
Scott’s words came out slow and low, almost a whisper, but they hit Mamie like a punch. She froze.
“Scott, I’m sorry. We’re just not right for each other. It’s not about your son. I’m just… dealing with too much right now. I can’t think about
relationships. There are plen
of
amazing women out there who would be perfect for you, but I’m not one of them p>
Mamie didn’t like dragging things out. She pulled the door open, apologized again, and hurried away.
Scott didn’t look angry at all. Instead, he pulled out his phone and made a call to the hospital.
After he listened to their answer, a
faint smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He spoke softly to
himself, “So you t
remembered
your son, didn’t you p>
