Katherine'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.
She looked at the doorplate and turned left.
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 welcome here!"
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 come in.
Mrs. Tucker said, "Please wait for a while. I need to ask Linley first.
