After a long time, Scarlett regained her senses.
She didn't know what had happened exactly. But she knew that panicking wouldn't help.
She closed her eyes and forced herself to calm down.

It was just getting light outside. Scarlett's grandfather was having his morning exercise in the garden.
Larry had also just got back from his morning jogging. He was not usually an early bird.
When he saw Scarlett, her grandpa was a little concerned, "Why don't you sleep a little later?" Scarlett shook her head and smiled," Grandpa, | have smatters to attend to. | can't go fishing with you today. Raymond had an accident." Larry, who was standing aside, looked at Scarlett, his brows slightly furrowed. "What happened?" Scarlett inclined her head to look at him, biting her lower lip. "I just got a call from the police. He said Raymond's car crashed into the Lacott River at 3 o'clock in the morning." Grandpa used not to be happy with Raymond. Hearing Scarlett's words, he stopped his exercise and asked, "What happened?" "I'm not sure right now, Grandpa." The old man looked at Scarlett and saw the calmness on her face. He patted Scarlett's head concernedly, "Don't be afraid. Let Larry go with you." Larry nodded her head, "Wait for a second." Scarlett agreed. Although she appeared calm, she was panicking inside.

"Don't worry. Though | don't like Raymond, that guy gets sgood luck. He will be fine. Have breakfast first. Go to the police station later." "Yes, grandpa," Scarlett responded. Her grandfather took her hand to reassure her. He noticed that her hands were freezing chill. The old man led Scarlett back into the house.

Scarlett couldn't eat anything. She only had a little soup. Seeing that she really had no appetite, Larry didn't push her anymore. He took her to the garage. The two went to the police station.
Just as they entered the police station, a policeman saw Larry and smiled as he approached them. "Larry, long tno see!" Larry looked at the policeman and greeted him, "This is my sister, Scarlett.
