When My Ex's Worst Enemy Became My Sanctuary novel Chapter 241

Mamie pressed her lips together as she looked at Scott, who clearly wasn’t open to discussion. Honestly, a guy like Scott really was the ideal husband—on paper, at least.

But right now, she just couldn’t bring herself to care about that.

“Thank you,” she said quietly, accepting his help.

Scott gave her a small smile. “I’ve still got some work to finish up. Go get some rest.”

Mamie glanced at the laptop bag by his feet. “Okay, thanks.”

Once she walked away, Scott opened his laptop and checked his email.

There it was—a full report, waiting in his inbox.

Seven years ago, right after she’d had her baby, Mamie left the country with the people who were supposed to be her adoptive parents. She hadn’t come back once. Not even for her parents’ memorial.

Scott had never been able to figure out how Mamie could be so heartless. Even if there wasn’t any love between them, how could she not come back to see Garth, not even once?

He only found out the truth recently. She’d lost her memory. She’d forgotten him, forgotten Garth, and even forgotten her real parents.

...

Early the next morning, Claire hurried to the hospital. When she walked into the room, it was Mamie’s boyfriend she found.

“Scott, where’s Mamie?”

Scott rubbed his shoulder. “She’s sleeping in the room next door. I’ll go get her.”

He paused in the doorway. “Claire, sorry I was late yesterday, I had a meeting. Mamie was exhausted, so I told her to rest.”

Claire looked relieved. “It’s alright. You really helped us out yesterday.”

“No problem at all.”

Scott headed off to wake Mamie.

Mamie hadn’t slept well that night. She kept waking up from nightmares. Rubbing her eyes, she noticed daylight was already streaming through the window. “What time is it?”

“Seven. Don’t worry, the doctor hasn’t started rounds yet. You’ve got time.”
