Marion arrived early, and by the time she got there, it was already 9:30 am. The CT scan was quick, and with it being so early, there were not many people around. Lucas took a number and pushed her wheelchair over. There were only two people ahead of them.
She remembered that Lucas had mentioned a morning meeting. “Mr. Craig, you should go back to the company. My father will come to the hospital to pick me up after the examination, and I’ll go home
