Chapter 1474 The Decision From Hathaway

Mona arrived at the hospital the next day after buying breakfast, but she was stunned to

discover that the ward was empty upon opening the door. When she recovered from her

surprise, she recalled the oddly emotional Hathaway yesterday and became so worried

that she immediately turned around and grabbed the first nurse she saw. "May I ask if you

know where the patient in this room is?"

"I'm not sure because I just started my shift. Why don't you call and ask?" the nurse said,

returning to her work.

Mona whisked out her phone in haste and dialed Hathaway's number. To her dismay, the

phone was turned off. In the end, she could only turn to Scott for help. "Mr. Brooks, Miss

Hathaway is gone, and her phone is turned off!" she explained the situation frantically.

Scott was struck with worry after hearing that, but he regained his cool in a matter of

seconds and said in a solemn voice, "Check at the prison. Maybe she went to look for

Kathleen."

His words reminded her that it was Kathleen's execution day today. "I'm going to prison

now. If it's convenient for you, please come over as well."

"Okay," Scott agreed and hung up. About fifteen minutes later, they met at the prison

entrance.

After that, they explained the situation to the prison officer and, sure enough, found

Hathaway in the waiting room. When Hathaway heard the sounds of footsteps, a shiver

ran down her spine because she thought that Kathleen had been executed and the prison

officers were delivering her body. To her surprise, it was Scott and Mona that she saw

when she raised her head, and she sighed in relief.

Mona quickened her steps toward her. "Miss Hathaway, why didn't you ask me to come

along with you? You gave me such a scare when I couldn't find you after I returned with

breakfast."

"I'm here to pick up Kathleen, but it seems like she doesn't want to see you. That's why I

didn't ask you to accompany me," Hathaway explained weakly.

Mona pursed her lips and found herself at a loss for words because there was no denying

the enmity between the two women. Still, Scott came next to her when he saw this,

patting her shoulder gently as a form of silent comfort. Then, he turned to Hathaway and

asked in a gentle voice, "You could have asked me if Mona wasn't a suitable candidate."

Hathaway took a glance at him and suddenly changed the topic. "I considered your

suggestion from yesterday through the night and thought that it was a great idea."

He was startled by her easy acceptance and asked, "So, you're planning to take a vacation

once this is over?"

She nodded. "I would like to go on a vacation with Kathleen. When she was alive, she

always grumbled that I didn't have time for her and only cared about the band and my

students. She's about to leave this world soon, and I would like to spend the rest of my life

with her."

Little did Scott expect that this was the answer he would receive, and after being in a daze

for a few seconds, he agreed with a nod. "That's not a bad idea."

Mona agreed as well. "Have a good time when you're away with Kathleen, Miss Hathaway.

I'll manage the band and the other members well," she promised.

Yet, Hathaway shook her head. "I don't plan to manage the band anymore." Her decision

caught them off guard, and their faces fell. Before they could say anything, she continued,

"Scott, have you considered managing a band by yourself? With your current skills and

reputation, you can totally support the development of a band."

"Are you saying that you would like to hand over the Hathaway Philharmonic to me?" he

asked, reading her intention.

She didn't deny it and continued, "Amongst the people I know, you're the most suitable

person as well as the one whom I trust the most."

Scott fell silent at her words, and Hathaway, too, observed him silently. Next to them,

Mona was desperate to say something to persuade Hathaway otherwise, but she was

aware that it was pointless even if she objected to the idea. In addition, it would be better

for the band's future development if Scott took over the management.

All of a sudden, the room fell into pin-drop silence. Just when Hathaway wanted to give up

on the idea, especially since Scott hadn't said a word for a long time, he parted his lips,

saying, "I can take over the management of the band for now. One day if you would like to

make a comeback, I'll gladly return it to you." He only came to such a decision mainly

because he would like to realize Hathaway's wishes.
