After Raymond went back to Bomsville, Scarlett asked Katherine and Frank to schedule the essential matters for the following week. She was going to take care of the critical business in Tenton and Mornet. Then she was going to accompany her grandfather on a trip to Chatbury City.
Time flew fast. It was the end of July.
Before August came, Scarlett wanted to take her grandfather and Viviana to Chatbury City. She asked Katherine to arrange the trip.
At the end of July, the weather was hot across the country, and Chatbury City was no exception.
Last year Scarlett spent the New year in Deeton City. She hadn't been back to Chatbury City since the late spring of this year. It was the city Scarlett had lived in for almost 20 years.

A heatwave hit them right out of the airport.
The driver was waiting outside the airport. As soon as Scarlett and the others got out of the airport, the driver came up to them," Ms. Reed, Mr. Tank, and Mrs. Tank, the car is in the parking lot. Please follow me this way." Katherine was always attentive. Since there were three people flying to Chatbury City with Scarlett, it would be a little crowded if the four took one car. As Scarlett's grandfather was aged and the weather was so hot, Katherine arranged for two cars to pick them up at the airport.
Once seeing the four getting out of the airport, the drivers walked up to them and took their luggage. Scarlett gave her luggage to the driver, then she helped her grandfather and walked to the parking lot holding an umbrella.
It was not Scarlett's grandfather's first visit to Chatbury City. But his last visit to the city was more than forty years ago. In forty years, so many things had changed.
Scarlett and her grandfather got in one car, and the assistant and Vivianagot in the other.
As the car drove down the airport highway, Rowan looked out the window. Chatbury City was not the same as he remembered.
"Forty years ago, | had been working in Chatbury City for three years. | used to know this city very well. But now, | can't find any trace of what the city used to be." Scarlett smiled, "Grandpa, it's been forty years. Not to say that it's been forty years, but the city has changed a lot since | left it after | graduated.” When Scarlett went to college in Juanton City, there was no high-speed rail in Chatbury City. And there were very few skyscrapers, whereas today, brand-new skyscrapers everywhere. The city had completely changed.
Scarlett's grandfather exclaimed, "Indeed. It's been forty years." Then Rowan sighed, "It's been forty years in a flash." This was the thirty-eighth year since Pearl was lost. If Pearl were still alive, she would be almost fifty years old.
What a pity! Thinking of Pearl, the smile on Rowan's face faded away.
Rowan did not speak again. He just tilted his head to look out the car window of the city where his daughter had lived for nearly thirty years. He felt sorry that Scarlett's grandmother was not with him.
If Scarlett's grandmother could have lasted a few more days, she could have come to the city and seen the place where their daughter used to live.

Seeing her grandfather suddenly fall into silence, Scarlett guessed that he was recalling something, so she did not disturb him.
It was quiet in the car. After half an hour, the car pulled into a neighborhood.
Although Scarlett rarely came back to the apartment, Katherine would have someone come to clean it regularly.
Before they came back this time, Katherine arranged for someone to clean it in advance.
The refrigerator was full of fresh fruits and vegetables. All the glasses in the room were freshly washed.
Scarlett took the clothes out of her luggage and hung them up in the closet. She texted Raymond that she had arrived. Then she made some tea.
Scarlett's grandfather was an old man after all. Coming all through the journey, he looked tired.
