Scarlett was unaware that Martha had led her to the living room, away from Carter's treatment room. Initially, she was only curious about why Martha suddenly brought her there.
However, as she heard Martha's first words, her heart skipped a beat, and her mind became utterly puzzled.
'How does she know about the truth?' Scarlett wondered while listening silently and hanging her head low, unable to meet Martha's gaze. She still blamed herself for what happened to Carter.
After some time had passed, Martha spoke again, repeating her words for what seemed like the umpteenth time, "Scarlett, please stop blaming yourself. Neither Carter nor I can blame you. It's not your fault…" Her words were sincere and filled with understanding.
Once again, Scarlett remained silent, not saying a word. Martha could only take a deep breath, feeling the weight of her sadness.
