Before Irene could respond, the doctor said, "Hold on, wasn't yourname supposed to be Irene?"

Irene stared at him for heartbeats, unable to place him.

"You know me?"

Seeing that she had no recollection of him, the doctor deliberatelymade a wounded look.

“I guess you're too important to remember me now," he joked, andintroduced himself, "The name's Seth. Seth Hedge."

Irene realized with a start-he was an old neighbor, though hisappearance had certainly changed.

"Didn't your family move abroad?"

'l returned this year. My family is still abroad, though.” Seth replied."When Jeff introduced a patient and told me to offer special privileges, Ididn't think that it would be you."

Irene did not expect such a coincidence either. "I did work with Jeff atMead Clinic."

Seth was left in disbelief. "You made it into Mead at your age? That'simpressive! Even Jeff had to ask his girlfriend to pull strings to get in.”“It was a coincidence," Irene said humbly.

Seth smiled then and joked, "Anyway, you're looking plenty good. Whywould you need fixing?"

Irene took off the scarf covering her face just then, revealing her facialscars.

It actually left Seth stunned. "What happened there?"

Irene did not reply, and instead asked, "Is it possible to fix this? Would ittake a lot of time to recover?”

Seth examined it then.

He saw that the scar stretched from her cheek down to her neck, but asurgery would suffice with his expertise.

“It's no problem if you leave it to me, though you would need time toheal as well since it's quite large. I'm guessing you're asking aboutrecovery because something's coming up?”

"Yeah. I'm doing this for my wedding," Irene replied.

“You're getting married? Congratulations! But this is going to needaround a month long of recovery. Would it affect your plans?"

"No," Irene said-they had that much time anyway, and Isaac wouldneed to make arrangements for the wedding as well.

"Would it be alright if we schedule the surgery for tomorrow?"

Irene nodded. "Sure. Thank you."

"Oh, you can thank me later with dinner-once I restore your ravishingbeauty."

Irene became a little embarrassed, but said, "Of course.”

Irene left soon after, since Seth still had other patients.

As she stepped outside, she was left a little emotional that she wouldrun into yet another familiar face.

While she was waiting for a taxi, she suddenly saw a certain someoneapproaching her.

As she looked closer, she realized that it was Lulu Adams.

“Could I talk to you?" she asked.

"Sure. Are you alone?" Irene asked, looking around but not replaceingZachary Slate.

"I was getting something from the pharmacy opposite and I came overwhen I saw you standing here."

In fact, Lulu had wanted to look for Irene earlier.

However, she did not know where Irene lived or how to contact her, anddid not want Zachary to know that they were meeting either.

Since they ran into each other by chance, she decided to seize theopportunity.

They went to a cafe, and as soon as they sat down, Lulu asked, "I wantyou to tell me what Zachary and his mother are like."

Irene became thoughtful. "Why ask that?"

Zachary's mother did not like Lulu and was hostile toward her, but Irenewould not say that so lightly.

After all, Lulu had just returned, and Irene was worried that she wouldmisspeak and cause conflict between her and Zachary.

"Zachary wants to take me home to his family, but I don't know them orhis mother's attitude. How am I supposed to get along with them?"

In reality, she had overheard the conversation Irene had with Zachary,and learned that her amnesia was a consequence of Zachary'smother's attempt to murder her.

While Lulu had survived by luck, she had forgotten the past.

As such, she was asking Irene this now to test her-to see if Irene reallywas her best friend.

If they were as close as Irene claimed, Irene would know whatZachary's mother did, and she could decide if Irene is worthy of hertrust.

Irene frowned, unable to comprehend why Zachary would want to takeLulu home.

"I need the washroom."

Irene left for the washroom then and whipped out her phone to callZachary as soon as she reached the washroom.

Zachary answered soon enough, and Irene immediately demanded,"Are you really taking Lulu home to your family? What are youthinking?! Did you forget what your mom did to her?!"
