"I know Violet. She will come back as I said to him," replied Selina. She was quite confident about Violet's coming back as she knew that Violet had only loved Greg and she would come back to him.
In the Lu family's villa, Derek was quietly smoking on the sofa. Amy was sitting next to him and thinking about something. Alice, who was snuggling herself to her Mother, was worried too.
"Daddy, what on earth should we do now to this tricky situation we are in? Who can help Greg at this time?" Alice asked. In the face of such grievous news, both she and Tim had no idea what to do to help him.
Derek said, "Mike has had his men guarding the Xiao family, so they are safe and no more in danger now. As for Sharon, there is nothing we can do except arranging her funeral. Fred..." He didn't continue his words.
"All we can do is to pray for him so that he comes out of the pain quickly," said Amy. She actually didn't care for Sharon, but she was worried more about Greg. After all, Greg is a good man and the husband of Violet.
"Daddy, when will Lawrence come back?" Alice suddenly asked.
"I don't know, dear. He won't tell us even if he is coming back," said Derek. He knew Lawrence well. The young man wouldn't tell others about his plan.
"I hope he could come back to the city soon. Even though Mike is powerful, I still believe that only Lawrence could solve all the problems," Alice said with expectation in her voice.
......
Three weeks later, on a stone bench of a park in the suburb two men were sitting.
Lawrence was gazing at the sight just before him.
"Boy," Jackson gently called him out.
"Yes, Dad?" answered Lawrence.
"Violet is in a much better condition now, what do you plan to do next?" Jackson asked. Lawrence had stayed here for a long time because of Violet' s health. Now that she was well, Jackson wanted to know what Lawrence was planning to do next.
"I think, I'll go back to the city tomorrow," said Lawrence, as he turned to look at his Dad.
