"Wait as well," replied Lawrence. He was also very worried about Aria when he heard that she was in prison but the only thing he could do for now was to wait. It seemed that this woman had suffered a lot recently so he decided that he would make up to her when he went back to China. However, it was just a pity that he couldn't stay with her when she needed him the most.
After a second, Lawrence continued, "But Mike, you need to ask Uncle Mond to make arrangements inside the prison and make sure that Aria will be protected. Staying there must be very difficult for her."
"Alright. I know what to do," Mike answered.
"Well, that's good," Lawrence replied.
Just at that moment, Mike suddenly saw the anxious look on Greg's face. He immediately understood what Greg was worrying about so he asked, "What about Violet? Is she okay?"
Mike was right because as soon as he mentioned Violet's name, Greg's expression became less tensed. This was actually what he had been wanting to know.
"She is in the last course of her treatment now and she might recover very soon. My parents are now in the ward with her," replied Lawrence.
"Well, that's good to hear," Mike said with a nod. He was giving a hint to Greg that Violet was all fine.
"Tell Greg that all my family members thank him so much for what he did for Violet," Lawrence said in a cold and flat voice.
"Sure, I will. So, when will you be coming home?" Mike asked again. "As soon as her last course of treatment finished, we will go back to Hong Kong. Then I'll go back to the city after I make sure that she is just fine," Lawrence replied.
He paused for a moment then continued, "I'll be back as soon as I can."
"Well, I'll wait for you to come back home."
After hanging up the phone, Mike wanted to say something to Greg. However, before he could open his mouth, his phone rang again.
Greg looked at his phone and saw Uncle Mond's name on the screen.
"It is from Uncle Mond," Mike said to Greg in confusion. "Take your time, Mike," Greg replied.
Even if he wanted to hear what Mike and Lawrence talked about, he still thought Mike should answer the phone first.
Mike then pressed the answer button and greeted, "Hello, Uncle Mond."
"Mike, where are you right now?" Mond asked hurriedly. "I'm in the XS Hospital with Greg," Mike replied.
"Can you come to the JC Hotel with Greg right now? I'm here with your Dad and your Uncle Derek. We need to discuss something with you," Mond said in a calm voice.
"Okay," Mike replied at once. "I also have something to tell you," he added.
