Ice and Fire novel Chapter 619

Lawrence's eyes?remained fixed on his Sister's waxen face. Inside, Lawrence was guilt ridden, feeling scared, and repentant in his heart. 'I'm so sorry, Violet. This is all my fault. I promise I will never tease you again. In my heart, you are my dearest Sister, and I love you more than anyone else! Please, please! Be all right?!' Lawrence repeated to himself, over and over.

Lawrence could barely hold back the tears threatening to erupt again. 'Violet, I will devote all my life to fixing what happened. I beg your forgiveness, ' Lawrence silently swore.

Meantime, Alice Lu stopped wailing loudly, and quietly watched Violet Chu. Alice Lu noted the IV drip attached to her and earnestly prayed, 'Violet, you will always be the most beautiful girl in the world to me. In the future, when we are grown up together, I promise, I will do my very best to let you keep shining brightly and be the most beautiful girl in the world.'

Standing in a corner, alone, Greg Xiao stared out the window instead of the hospital bed because he was afraid that he would burst into tears. As he gazed at the high buildings outside, Greg Xiao's mind began to wander, and he was lost in thought, dwelling on Violet Chu's sweet smile he saw when they were in class. Whether giving a speech or playing with classmates out on the playground, Violet Chu was always active and funny. Her incident left him wondering if she would smile again after she woke up and left the hospital.

Gradually, Greg Xiao's resolve firmed up, and his eyes hardened. He told himself he would give up painting from now on, and instead, he would dedicate his time and efforts to help Violet. He wanted to rid her body of the scars. Because, in his heart, her smile was the most beautiful treasure and he wanted to see it always.

At the international airport

As soon as Jackson and Cherry stepped off the airport, they saw Bill beside the car, waiting for them.

Bill rushed forward to greet them and take the luggage as soon as he saw the two of them.

"Mr. Jackson, Mrs. Cherry, welcome back," greeted Bill.

"Bill, how is Violet doing now? Is she okay?" Cherry looked frail and her voice was weak as she asked.

Jackson held Cherry in his arm as they walked, and tried to calm himself down too.

"She's out of the crisis, but she is still in the ICU," Bill stated, unsure really how to explain the details.

As soon as Cherry heard about her daughter from Bill, tears overflowed Cherry's eyes.

Cherry had cried on and off the entire flight home, and Jackson was at a loss, knowing nothing about how to deal with a situation of this sort.

Bill was suddenly speechless seeing Cherry was so sad. He looked to Jackson for some insight from him on how to proceed.

"Let's get in the car first," Jackson told Bill.

When they were all in the car, Jackson looked at Cherry and said,"Babe, we're going to go straight to the hospital!"

"Okay," Cherry nodded.

The trip to the hospital was silent, with Cherry leaning on Jackson's shoulder.

Jackson was lost in thought, worrying for his beloved daughter. He treasured her so much and regarded her as the apple of his eye. He had already been given an outline of what happened over the phone from Lily. If it was true, he wondered how Violet would react to scars covering her body? How could there be scars left on his daughter?

Jackson could hardly keep up with his imagination. It was obvious a ten-year-old girl took great care, and paid attention to her appearance. So, how would he explain the accident to his lovely daughter?
