GoodReadKatherine's findings showed that Linley's parents and Linley rented a house in a village in Juanton City's suburb for Linley's illness.
Scarlett drove for one and a half hours. Only then did she find the village on Katherine's findings.
The village looked better than Scarlett's expectation, but it didn't compare with the center of the city.
Scarlett parked her car. She asked many people and found where Linley lived finally.
There was no elevator. Scarlett went to the sixth floor step by step.
It was June. The temperature outside was about 30°C in Juanton City. When she arrived on the sixth floor, her forehead was covered with sweat.

When she stood in front of the door, she smelled medicine. The smell was strong.
She looked at the iron door and knocked on it.
Soon, the iron door was pulled open. A middle-aged woman who looked like Linley showed up.
Scarlett guessed that the woman was Linley's mother. Scarlett said with a smile," Hi, Mrs. Tucker, I'm Linley’s college classmate." Mrs. Tucker said, "Get out of here! You're not welchere!" Before Scarlett finished speaking, Mrs.
Tucker closed the iron door suddenly.
Scarlett reacted quickly. She raised her hands to stop Mrs. Tucker and said, "Mrs. Tucker, you misunderstand me.
I'm Scarlett Reed. I'm different from these classmates who went here before. If you don’t believe me, ask Linley.
Tell her that I'm Scarlett Reed." Scarlett said sincerely. Her voice was gentle. She looked down at Mrs. Tucker. There was no slight of arrogance in Scarlett's eyes.
Mrs. Tucker felt Scarlett's kindness, but Linley was stimulated by these so-called classmates a few days ago and almost committed suicide again. Mrs. Tucker still didn’t allow Scarlett to cin.
Mrs. Tucker said, "Please wait for a while. | need to ask Linley first.
She still looked aloof, but her tone was not as exciting as before.
Scarlett stepped back to let Mrs. Tucker close the door.
Mrs. Tucker closed the door at the next second.

The man had never seen such a beautiful woman, so he stared at Scarlett.
Scarlett glanced at him and didn’t bother to pay attention to him.
When she looked away from the man, the iron door was opened again.
This time, Linley opened the door for Scarlett personally.
Scarlett had graduated for five years but had never met Linley. Now Linley looked totally different from before.
Her original clear eyes were filled with distress. When she saw Scarlett, she felt surprised and said, "Long tno see, Scarlett." Linley stepped back as she said, "Would you like to cin and have a seat?" She paused and added, "Or would you like to go to the coffee shop downstairs?" Scarlett smiled, "OK." Linley thought that Scarlett would like to go to the coffee shop. When Linley turned around and wanted to tell Scarlett that she needed to change clothes first, Scarlett walked in.
The living room was about 4 to 5m. It was narrow and depressing.
Scarlett sat down on a chair casually. Linley fell into a trance and said awkwardly, "The house is small.” Scarlett shook her head, "Never mind." Linley sat beside Scarlett. Mrs. Tucker held a kettle and poured a glass of water for Scarlett. Mrs. Tucker said, "I'm sorry, Ms. Reed. | thought that you had malicious intentions like them! A few days ago, two flashy women said that they were Linley's classmates. | welcomed them happily.
Unexpectedly, they insulted Linley as soon as they walked in. I...!" Mrs. Tucker's eyes turned red as she said.
