Chapter 32 Chapter 32 " They say you gotta love yourself before anyone else can love you … " Maxine muttered to herself , " So you think , the reason Sebastian doesn't low cake . because- " " Stop , hold up ! " Cleo massaged her temples in frustration . " You're still hung up on whether , that guy loves you or not ? " Maxine gave a bitter laugh , her voice hoarse . " No one … can accept being wrong about someone calmly . " Once , she wholeheartedly believed Sebastian would be the one to walk through life with her , to grow old together . But God played such a cruel joke on her . Cleo studied Maxine for a long while , then suddenly reached out and embraced her . " Don't dwell on it further . Experience tells me , what you need now is to just tough it out , don't think , don't ask , don't say . It's a cliché , but it works - time heals all wounds . " With that , Cleo's expression relaxed a bit . " Alright , let's get to business . You asked me to look into Jessica's father . Any leads ? " Maxine got serious , taking out Ivanna and Nathan's marriage certificate from her shoulder bag . She tore off the photo of the two of them , hesitated for a moment , then handed Nathan's half to Cleo . Cleo took the cigarette between her teeth and studied it carefully for a while . " This guy's name is Nathan ? He's really handsome , no wonder Jessica's so pretty . Hey , don't you think he looks a bit like Gabriel ? " Instantly , something exploded in Maxine's mind . She recalled Gabriel's face , and then hastily looked at Nathan's photo , the two faces rapidly overlapping in her mind . She stammered , " Yes . I thought Nathan looked familiar when I first saw him , but I didn't expect … they really do look alike ! " " This is getting interesting . Give me three days . I'll get you the result ! " Cleo's eyes lit up with interest . Maxine was surprised . " So fast ? " " Duh , I'm from the paparazzi ! Checking on someone's info ? Easy peasy . If all else fails , I've got a private detective friend who's super skilled . He can even find traces of people who died decades ago . This is no biggie . " Cleo was all about action , grabbing the photo and saying goodbye on the spot . Maxine saw her off at the outpatient building and returned to the ward . Seeing that Jessica was still sleeping soundly , she started feeling sleepy herself . Having slept soundly through the night , Maxine woke up the next morning to be informed by the doctor that Jessica was cleared for discharge . On their way back , Jessica looked excited as she played with her drawing tools in the back seat and asked Maxine , " Maxine , when can I go back to school ? " Maxine was taken aback - she had forgotten about this . Jessica attended Sunshine Kindergarten , which was close to where Ivanna used to live ; it only took ten minutes by tool . However , Maxine now lived in an upscale neighborhood that was over ten miles away from there - it wasn't convenient at all . Moreover , after last night's incident , Maxine didn't want Jessica to go back to her old kindergarten anymore - it was just too dangerous . After some thought , she said to Jessica hesitantly , " Jessica , how about a transfer to a school closer to our current place ? What do you think ? " 09:10 Wed , 18 Jun Chapter 32 Hearing this , Jessica was taken aback and then said in a muffled voice , " Huh ? Okay , then . Maxine , can I say goodbye to my friends before thate Maxine was at a loss for a moment . She had forgotten that Jessica had lived there with Ivanna for quite some time , Kids tended to be nostalgic , and now that she had lost her mother , sha naturally cherished the past even more . But the transfer was definitely happening . Maxine steeled herself . " Sure , when we're handling the transfer , I'll take you to see your friends and say your goodbyes . "
