But she married the wrong man later. What was worse, speople liked talking about gossip. She had never forgotten what had happened that year and thus she suffered from severe depression.

Scarlett looked at her and smiled faintly," Believe yourself. You once entered the cartoon contest in the university and csecond.” Being a cartoonist was Linley's dream all the time, but her dream had been ruined by reality already. Even her life had been ruined, let alone her dream.

However, she was really in bad condition.
Suddenly, her hands felt warm. She was surprised and saw Scarlett prise her fingers one by one. Scarlett picked up a napkin and wiped tears for Linley little by little. It was Linley's first tto feel that the world was so warm.
During the past six months, Linley had thought many times that she shouldn't have lived in the world.
Scarlett asked, "Linley, what can | do for you?" Linley heard Scarlett's gentle voice and looked at Scarlett’s fair and beautiful face. Linley said, "Scarlett, I'm sick.
It's serious." Scarlett said, "Don't worry. | will find the best doctor for you." Linley said, "It's useless, Scarlett. They won't letoff! They're unwilling to letoff, Scarlett!" Scarlett asked, "Who are they?" Linley didn't reply to the question but shouted suddenly. It seemed that she had been stimulated and was out of mind. She shed tears and asked them not to c close to her.
Mrs. Tucker heard the noises and rushed to Linley. She hugged Linley tightly and said," Linley, | beg you. Don't be like that! | beg you!" Scarlett saw the scene and felt depressive as if she was floating in an ocean of sadness.
