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 exined 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, pleasee over as well."
"Okay," Scott agreed and hung up. About fifteen minutester, they met at the prison entrance.
After that, they exined 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 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?"
Mona quickened her steps toward her. "Miss Hathaway, why didn''t you ask me toe 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 apany me," Hathaway exined 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 silentfort. 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 nce 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 eptance and asked, "So, you''re nning 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 n 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 aeback, I''ll dly return it to
you." He only came to such a decision mainly because he would like to realize Hathaway''s wishes.
