On the day of Mendes's trial, Scarlett and Raymond went to Deeton City to visit Rowan.
Rowan was already eighty-nine years old this year. After an illness at the end of last year, he became a lot weaker.
In March, it was easy to tell that Scarlett was pregnant according to her belly. When the weather was warm, Scarlett would only wear a long knitted skirt, and the arc of her belly was obvious. Rowan was happy and ate more in those days.
Not long after breakfast, Raymond and Scarlett accompanied Rowan to go fishing.
The sun was warm at ten o'clock. Raymond was afraid of Scarlett being basked, so he put the hat he brought on Scarlett's head.
No sooner had he put the hat on Scarlett's head than his cell phone rang.
The call was made by Frank. He said that Mendes's case went to trial.
On the way back, Frank called again and said that Mendes had been sentenced to life.
Raymond hung up the phone, looked at Scarlett, and said to her, "Mendes has been sentenced to life."
Scarlett nodded, "Hmm, he deserves it."
They returned to Juanton City after a few days in Deeton City. In May, Scarlett was already thirty weeks pregnant, and the weather got warmer, so her clothes were much thinner and her belly bulged a lot. On May fourth, the case of Tiera kidnapping Scarlett also went to trial, and Tiera was sentenced to seven years in prison.
The bad guys had been arrested, but what happened that night more or less left some shadow on Scarlett.
A few days after Tiera was sentenced, Scarlett had a nightmare.
When Scarlett woke up, she was sweating.
Raymond raised his hand to turn on the night light, called her name, and then held the trembling person in his arms, "You had nightmares again?"
