"Also, if there is anything important, just call me," said Lawrence. And he didn't leave until Lily had nodded to him in affirmation.
Lawrence drove towards the Xiao family's house. There were many men wearing black suits standing in the yard. It must be Mike who had arranged for them as protection.
When Lawrence just walked out from his car, a man in black walked towards him.
"Mr. Lawrence," the man greeted him politely.
"Nothing special happened after I left, I hope?" Lawrence asked, looking around. It was very quiet in the morning, nothing special.
"Nothing special. Everything is well," the man replied.
Lawrence nodded and then walked inside the villa.
Greg had just finished having his breakfast. Greg was a bit shocked to see that Lawrence was there.
"Brother, when did you come back?" asked Greg.
"Yesterday," said Lawrence. Then he looked upstairs, asking, "Is Uncle Fred feeling okay now?"
"Well, he is getting better," said Greg, and motioned Lawrence to sit, "Brother, please have a seat."
Sitting down on the sofa, Lawrence stared at Greg, who was holding a glass of water for him, and asked, "How is everything going on, is all well at your end?"
Greg also sat on the sofa, and said, "It is almost over. The funeral was held yesterday. We just informed a few people about the news. My father was in a very bad condition, and I was also worried that he wouldn't be able to control himself well there, so he didn't attend. The funeral was just held in a hurry."
"I get it. I have also heard that it is Aunt Selina who is managing the hospital now, isn't it?" asked Lawrence.
"Yes, I needed her help. Everything has happened so suddenly, I couldn't handle it all by myself. I could just ask Aunt Selina for her help," said Greg. And then he added, "I plan to start going to deal with the business at the hospital from tomorrow. My father wouldn't recover from this sadness so soon. I would have to give him more time to adjust himself."
"Okay. If you need any of my help, just let me know it," said Lawrence.
"Brother, is Violet ok now? When will she come back?" asked Greg. Violet was only the one he cared about the most.
