Convenient Marriage: Mr. Nelson's Love Trap by Hannah Baker

Dolores slowly lifted her head. When she saw the man’s face, she gasped in surprise.

“Dr. Herbert?” There was a group of people with Sampson, and they made Dolores even more surprised. “Why, why are you here?”

Sampson was the one that had helped treat Dolores’ brother’s autism. During his treatment, Dolores and Sampson got to know each other.

Sampson smiled gently.

Before he could speak, the director of the hospital spoke, “Dr. Herbert’s here to carry out a forum in the hospital.”

Sampson was a famous psychiatrist. He was especially an autism expert.

“What about you? Why are you here? Are you sick?” Sampson asked.

Dolores trembled when she thought of her mom’s resolute attitude.

“Lola!”

Jessica rushed over from the other side of the corridor with the checklist in her hand. When she came back and the nurse explained that Dolores had run away, she was very shocked. Jessica couldn’t help but shout agitatedly when she saw Dolores.

Dolores pursed her lips and was on the verge of tears. “Mom…”

Sampson turned to the director of the hospital standing beside him. “Please, go on ahead of me. I’ll be there shortly. I have something to do.”

“Ah, of course.” The director smiled at Sampson. “We won’t bother you then. I’m formally inviting you to work in my hospital, Dr. Herbert. Just no matter what you need, please let me know and I’ll do my best.”

Sampson smiled back and nodded. “I’ll consider it.”

Once the director and the others left, Sampson turned back to Dolores and Jessica. “Let’s head outside to talk. This isn’t the right place,” Sampson said to Jessica.

The hospital was full of people who had little to do other than listen to the conversations of strangers.

Jessica also knew Sampson. When her son received treatments, she couldn’t scrounge together the funds all the time and this Dr. Herbert was the one who helped pay for it. Therefore, Jessica had a lot of respect for him.

Jessica held Dolores’s wrist tightly, fearing she would run away again.

As soon as they were out of the hospital, Dolores kneeled in front of Jessica. “Mom, I beg you. We already lost Jeremy. Please, let me give birth to this child.”
