Seeing that she had successfully convinced Vicki, Elsa's lips curved into a smile. "Don't mention it, Vicki."
"Just you wait. A year from today will be Gertrude and Louie's death anniversary."
Vicki took off her work jacket, still a bit worried. "Effie, you absolutely cannot tell the company I left early."
Elsa feigned offense. "Vicki, do you really think I'm the kind of person who would stab you in the back like that?"
"Don't worry. I won't breathe a word of this to anyone."
Vicki nodded, thanked her again, and went to the living room.
By now, Gertrude and Louie were sitting on the couch watching TV.
Vicki walked over. "Mr. Cartwright, Mrs. Cartwright, my son has a high fever and is in the hospital. There's not much left to clean, and my colleague is handling it. Would it be alright if I took leave to go see my son?"
Louie usually left these matters to Gertrude.
Gertrude looked up. "Of course, you should go."
Everyone has emergencies, especially when a child has a high fever. Gertrude completely understood.
"Thank you, Mrs. Cartwright," Vicki said immediately.
After a few steps, she seemed to remember something and turned back to Gertrude. "By the way, Mrs. Cartwright, could I ask you not to mention to the company that I left early? If they find out, I'll be fined."
"I won't," Gertrude nodded.
Vicki thanked her again.
Gertrude smiled. "Don't worry about it. Go take care of your son, Vicki."
"Well, I'll be going then, Mrs. Cartwright."

So happy for Carey, the reunion with her family is touching. Can we read more of Caitlin and Gordon? Readers are forgetting that Caitlin has a boyfriend by the way. Is it normal for their relationship to be erased in the storyline?...
