Mike picked her up and went out.
"Sorry, I..." Scarlett apologized.
However, she paused halfway. She was unaware of what she had said.

'Richard was back!' she muttered under her breath.
Mike took her to the sofa and put her there in a hurry.

She stared at Mike blankly as he lowered his head to apply the ointment on her leg. Gradually, a tall figure appeared in her mind.
Back then when she just came to the Lauren's from the countryside, people there bullied her and made fun of her. Only Richard was gentle to her.
