"I see. Be more careful next time," I said.
"Thank you," she replied before hanging up.
A lover's quarrel?
Ethan was kind of a playboy. So I don't think he would actually want to involve Stacy in that life.
Plus, Stacy hated that part of him.
"Shit, I should have asked her when the new nurse was meant to arrive," I facepalmed. "On second thought, I don't think she would want to answer."
There was a knock on my door and the person entered.
"Ben?" Mom called.
"Oh you guys are finally here," I said but Chloe's wasn't next to her. "Where's Chloe?"
"That's the thing, someone has her," she replied.
"What?!" I got to my feet and walked to her, "How??!"
"Sorry, I didn't word that properly," she said as I walked past her. "I meant to say that the person has her in an embrace, and Chloe doesn't mind."
"Is it her teacher?" I asked in confusion.
"Surprisingly no, I don't know her and she kept calling Chloe, Sophia," she replied.
"Oh, I understand," I said.
I wasn't a psychologist, but I had a rough idea of what was going on. Some people saw me and mistook me for my dad. It happened a lot. I had also mistook some people for others I once knew.
"Was she hostile?" I asked.
"No, she seems hurt," she replied. "I haven't seen a woman shake so much since the last time I heard your father died."
"I just hope whoever she is, she isn't causing a scene," I sighed.

We got down the elevator and Chloe was standing there. The woman wasn't hugging her anymore but just touching her face. Chloe was helping the woman dry her tears. They… they looked like how Selina and Chloe would have looked if she was alive.
"What the hell?" I asked as I touched my chest.
"What is it?" Mom asked.
"My heart is pounding," I replied as I clutched at my chest.
"Isn't it supposed to?" she asked.
"No… I see Selina," I replied.
"Oh… I guess they do look like mother and child," she remarked.
There weren't a lot of people around, but people were looking at them as they walked past. I didn't want to stop them. Chloe opened her arms and offered the lady a hug, and the woman accepted.
"See what I'm talking about?" Mom pointed out.
"She never does that with anyone," I remarked as I walked up to them.
