The commotion from Old Lady Carter's return had not yet settled, and Mrs. Carter was feeling unwell because of it.
After a diagnosis by the family doctor, it was found that Mrs. Carter had shown mild signs of depression during this period and needed to recuperate well at home.
Maria Carter originally planned to stay and take care of Mrs. Carter, but Emily Parker felt that since she was in her senior year, she should not delay her studies, so she let her attend classes.
Emily sent Carlos to the company to keep an eye on things, as she believed that even though Evan Palmer was forced to resign from his position as acting chairman, he would certainly not give up easily and would still try to cause trouble secretly. Carlos had no choice but to go to the company.
When Emily walked into the room, Mrs. Carter was leaning on the hospital bed, her pale complexion appearing almost translucent under the sunlight.
