After hearing everything Oliver had to say, Suzie was frozen in place, speechless for a long time.
She was switched at birth by Margaret and David? Why? Why would anyone be willing to trade their own child for someone else's?
And the Lockwood family… could they be her biological family?
And Jamie… he stopped looking for her because he thought she was dead?
According to that timeline… if he thought she was dead, how could he have returned to his work so quickly, so methodically? All his actions—confining her, forcibly kissing her, that time he almost assaulted her…
That desire he showed for her, his talk of wanting to get back together… what did it all mean? Was it all just to satisfy his own ridiculous possessiveness?
So, it wouldn't have mattered if it was her or any other woman. He would have imprisoned them, shown them affection, and begged for reconciliation just the same? Once a person was dead, they were dead, and he would just go on with his life…
Perhaps Oliver, being a man, had a more straightforward way of thinking. But Stella, from the ever-changing expressions on Suzie’s face, had already pieced together the truth of her turmoil.
Stella waved a hand at Oliver, signaling for him to give them a moment.
Oliver immediately understood. “Suzie, you and Stella sit for a bit. I’m going to go check if my mom is awake.”
