CEO’s Tears Over Pregnancy Test Discovery

Chapter 1604

Linda nodded slightly, and the helper went to ladle some soup, treating her with the same gentle care as one might a child. When the helper left, Linda seemed a little reluctant to see her go. Jamie reassured her, "Don't worry, she'll be back in a couple of days."

Linda continued eating, her focus unwavering. It was hard to tell if she truly understood Jamie's reassurances or not.

Oddly enough, despite her mental state being comparable to that of a five-year-old, many of her actions still carried the poise of an adult. Perhaps her body remembered what her mind could not. Jamie watched her mother eat with quiet relief, feeling a small sense of comfort seeing her mother in a more settled state.

Then, the doorbell rang.

Jamie glanced at Linda. "I'll just get the door," she said softly before heading toward it.

As she opened the door, she froze, completely taken aback by the unexpected sight before her.

Charlie, oblivious to her reaction, chirped cheerfully from Mrs. Lucas's arms, "Mommy! I missed you so much!"

Jamie looked up at Mrs. Lucas, who gave her a soft smile. "Charlie really wanted to see you. He's been so distracted at our house, so I thought I'd bring him back for a little while."

Caught off guard, Jamie froze in the doorway, unsure what to do or say.
