Katherine always tended to handle things with great efficiency. Scarlett had only just given her the instructions, and the next day Katherine helped Linley and her family move into an apartment registered in Scarlett's name.
Linley called Scarlett something after three o'clock in the afternoon. "Thank you, Scarlett."
On the other end of the line, Scarlett could tell that Linley was speaking in a choked voice.
"Linley, I'm the one who should say thank you." "No, I would've done the same thing if it were someone else."
Linley paused momentarily and then added, "Scarlett, I never blamed you."
There had been a time when she cursed fate for being unfair to her, and she had also once blamed Darnell for his ruthlessness, but she had never blamed Scarlett.
After hanging up, Scarlett looked out of the floor-to-ceiling window, looking lost.
Not until someone knocked at the door did she jerk out of her trance. "Come in."
"Ms. Reed, all necessary arrangements have been made for Ms Tucker. The doctor's suggestion based on preliminary diagnosis is that Ms. Tucker should stay in the hospital twenty-four seven receiving medical treatment for three months, and that she should wait until her conditions improve before leaving the hospital."
Scarlett nodded. "What do Linley and her family think of it?"
"Ms. Tucker's willing to receive medical treatment."
After saying that, Katherine paused briefly and handed Scarlett a box. "Ms. Reed, Ms.
Tucker asked me to give you this."
Surprised, Scarlett took it. "Thanks. You may go where you're needed."
Katherine bobbed her head. "Yes, Ms. Reed."
With that Katherine turned around, walked out and closed the door.
Scarlett was the only one left in the office. She walked around her desk back to her chair, sat down and opened the box in her hands.
As the lid of the box was slowly lifted, a brand-new pen was revealed in front of Scarlett's eyes.
