Ice and Fire novel Chapter 896

"Alright, sure. Anyway, I also have a lot things to tell you," said Mike.

"For the meantime, don't tell my Uncles yet that I'm back," Lawrence then said in a worried tone. "I don't think I'll have time to visit them at this moment."

"I guess they already knew about it. We both know that they are quite close to your father. Don't you think your parents will tell them that you're back?" replied Mike. He thought that Lawrence's worries were all for naught. Then he continued, "But don't worry, they won't think you're rude even if you don't visit them. Remember, you are family. And family doesn't really have to care about the etiquette."

Lawrence thought for a moment and realized that Mike was right. A family didn't have to care about the etiquette.

"Lawrence, I'm just wondering. What are you going to do with Greg?" Mike suddenly asked. He was still worried about Greg.

"Let's talk about that when you come to my home this evening," Lawrence replied helplessly. He suddenly felt somewhat distressed. He just came back home but he already had a lot of things to do and to think about. He was in a predicament now and he didn't know what to do first.

"Alright, I'll see you in the evening," agreed Mike.

When Lawrence arrived at home, Lily and Bill were already waiting for him in the yard.

Lawrence got out of the car and glided to the passenger seat. He picked Aria up who was still in a coma. Then he walked towards the villa with her in his arms.

When they saw Lawrence carrying a woman who seemed to be unconscious and whose clothes were worn out, Lily and Bill couldn't help but exchange wondering glances. They didn't have any idea what was going on.

"Bill, where is the doctor?" Lawrence approached Bill immediately when he was near them. "The doctor has just called me to say that he's already on his way. He'll be here soon," Bill replied at once.

Lawrence walked to the villa after giving Bill a nod.

As they watched Lawrence walked inside, Lily and Bill started to talk in a low voice.

"Maybe that woman is Mr. Lawrence's girlfriend," Bill guessed uncertainly. "I think you're right," Lily also agreed.

As far as she could remember, Lawrence never had an intimate relationship with other women except Violet and Alice. But now, Lawrence came home with a woman in his arms. This woman must be special to him.

"Well, you better go in now and look for some clothes that the lady can wear. It looks like her clothes are dirty," urged Bill. "I'll go to the door and see if the doctor has arrived," he added then headed for the door.

Lawrence went directly to his bedroom and put Aria on his bed carefully. He tucked her in and made sure that she was lying comfortably. He felt upset as he looked at her face.

All of a sudden, a knock on the door awakened Lawrence's thoughts. He turned around to open it.

"Mr. Lawrence, I brought some clothes for the lady," Lily immediately said as soon as the door opened. She walked inside and put the clothes on the bed. Then she stood aside while still staring at the woman.

"Thank you so much, Lily," Lawrence replied politely. He was somehow touched by Lily's thoughtfulness. Changing Aria's clothes hadn't occurred to him yet but Lily had already prepared clothes for her.

"It's all right. It's my pleasure to be of help, Mr. Lawrence," Lily replied with a smile. She glanced at Lawrence and found out that his eyes were still fixated at the woman on his bed and his eyes showed an indescribable sadness.
