It seemed Milly had died. “She meant more to me, than anyone…even my own life.” He said. I could see that he had been crying. I thought something terrible had taken place, a possible scandal(丑闻).

I couldn’t let anyone but a doctor touch her!” he said and burst into tears again. 56. The underlined phrase “make out” in the first paragraph means_____.
