A Mysterious Man

When Sunny has finished tidying up Macie’s things for her, she informs Kevin to send her to school.

Before she leaves, Sunny says warily, “When she finishes school in the evening I’ll go fetch her, I don’t want to trouble you.”

Kevin immediately rejects her offer and says, “I have nothing to do at night, and I can see that Macie is very fond of me, let me be a father for once.”

…This causes Sunny to remember that she has forgotten to tell him that her child is no more.

But it has already reached this point, so Sunny has no choice but to accept his offer, “Then… Sorry to trouble you.”

Macie is fidgeting with her backpack beside them while looking at the “handsome Mr.Quinn” on the left and then shifting her gaze towards her mother on the right.

Her tiny eyebrows are knitted tightly, as she ponders the possibility that her father discovers that she is his child. What will happen then?

Before she can come to a conclusion, the adults already reach an understanding, and Kevin proceeds to hold her hand and says, “Say goodbye to your mother, we are going to the school now.”

Macie waves at Sunny obediently, “Mum, see you at night~”

Sunny looks at her and then squats down to kiss her cheeks, “See you at night, my darling.”

Kevin opens his mouth, as though he wants to say something, but in the end he decides to stay silent as he holds Macie’s hands and leaves this place.

Sunny continues to stand at the door for some time, and only heaves a sigh of relief after watching them disappear into the lift.

She had a tugging feeling that something is wrong.

But she can’t waste any time thinking about this since she’s going to be late for work.

She hurriedly wears her white jacket in her office. Today she is going to be the resident doctor.

But to her surprise, her first patient today is a familiar one.

“Please come in.”

Sunny replies quickly after hearing a knocking sound on her door. She raises her head and sees that it is Zola who has come to visit.

It seems like they have not seen each other for a long time, therefore Sunny gawks at the slightly haggard Zola and raises her brows.

Zola is also surprised at the identity of the doctor as she asks, “It’s you?”

“I’m the doctor for today.”

Otherwise it will not be her intention to bump into Zola here like this.

Since it is already a long time since they last meet, they can’t find a topic of conversation. Based on their relationship, it is natural for them not to be so friendly towards each other.

In the end, Zola takes her seat and says, “I have thought that… something bad has happened to you, when I saw the missing passengers list last time.”

Sunny stops her moving hand which is holding a pen, and replies casually, “I almost couldn’t make it.”

“Is that it? You are fortunate enough.”
