She was just about to check her parking section and space number to make it easier to find her car later.
Her gaze casually drifted through the windshield.
What she saw next sent a profound shockwave through her system.
A man and a woman were walking past her car. Even though she could only see their profiles, the woman's side profile was an exact replica of her own.
Suzie could not help but recall the photos from years ago that had caused Jamie to misunderstand her so deeply.
Back then, she had kept those photos and asked Oliver to help track the woman down.
They had received no news to this day. Oliver had guessed the woman was highly likely living abroad.
After Suzie gave birth, she noticed that Zoey, being a girl, looked slightly different from Zayn and Zeke.
However, her two sons were practically carbon copies of each other.
Because of that, Suzie instantly wondered if the woman walking past was a blood relative. Could she be a twin sister?
The person she had spent so long searching for had suddenly appeared right in front of her.
Suzie reached for the door handle, her first instinct to chase after them, but a second thought stopped her in her tracks.
How had Jamie gotten those photos in the first place? And who had taken them?
She knew absolutely nothing about the situation. Rushing up to interrogate them recklessly was a terrible idea.
Suzie watched the pair head toward the nearest elevator. If she lost them now, she had no idea when their paths might cross again.
Pushing her hesitation aside, she quickly grabbed a hat and a medical mask from her car's storage compartment. She threw them on and sprinted after the couple.
Just as the elevator doors were about to slide shut, Suzie shoved her arm through the gap, keeping her head ducked low to let the brim of her baseball cap hide her face.
"Excuse me. Thank you," she murmured.
Suzie stepped inside, deliberately moving to the back to stand behind them. The presence of a few other people in the elevator helped her relax a fraction.
She carefully scrutinized the couple's profiles. The woman had her arm hooked casually through the man's.
Her racing thoughts abruptly locked onto the name the man had just used: Suzanne.
When Chester had mistaken her identity all those years ago, he had called her Suzanne Baird.
Yes, that was the exact name.
The elevator dinged, signaling their arrival.
Suzie decided to put off finding Oliver for the moment. Wherever this couple went, she was determined to follow.
She kept a safe distance, occasionally letting out a feigned cough or groan of discomfort to deflect any suspicion that she was trailing them.
She followed them all the way to the OB/GYN clinic. The couple walked into the examination room together, leaving Suzie no choice but to wait in the hallway.
About fifteen minutes later, they finally emerged.
Realizing her window of opportunity was closing, Suzie stood up and deliberately bumped hard into Suzanne.
