IN LOVE WITH A SOLDIER, VOLUME 2 - Season 10 Episode 1

“Do you really think I will let you live?” Lawrence asked. He squatted in front of Sally and observed her discreetly. He wanted to know what kind of person would dare to destroy his family.

Sally stared at Lawrence. She was lost in her thoughts. ‘He looks exactly like Jackson when he was about his age.

Their eyes in particular, ‘ she thought as Jackson occupied her mind.

“It’s been so many years already. Why do you still keep on badgering my family?” Lawrence asked accusingly. His question brought Sally back to the present.

She glowered at the young man in front of her and cried indignantly, “It’s all because of your mother! That bitch stole everything from me. I am just making her pay for what she did to me.”

Sally’s words annoyed Hellen more. She raised her gun and aimed it to Sally again. She was about to pull the trigger.
But Lawrence raised his hand in the air indicating her not to do it. “You are not allowed to shoot her without my permission,” he ordered as he gave Hellen a quick glance.

Then he turned his eyes back to Sally and asked, “Did my Dad ever tell you that he loves you?”

That question left Sally speechless. ‘No, he didn’t. He never told me, ‘ she answered to herself.

“I remember that when my Mom was pregnant, she left this city. And that time, you stayed at my Dad’s side. You’ve been with him for five years,” Lawrence continued. “Did he ever touch you? Did he confess his love to you?” ‘Maybe this will be our last conversation. I might not have the opportunity to talk to her again, ‘ Lawrence mused.

Sally still didn’t reply. She couldn’t tell Lawrence in his face the fact that Jackson had never said he loved her. Even though she spent five years keeping him company, she failed to win his heart.

“Why do you keep on insinuating that my mother stole things from you?” Lawrence continued when Sally still remained quiet. He stood up and looked down at Sally.

With a hideous look in his eyes, he said coldly, “I have been merciful to you because I know that my Dad will take care of you soon. However, this time you have reached my bottom line so…” he paused for a while before he continued, “I will let you pay for every mistake you’ve made.”

“If your Dad finds out that you killed me, he surely won’t forgive you,” Sally retorted. She was still hoping that Lawrence would spare her life.

“Do you really believe that my Dad will protect you?” Lawrence asked in mockery. “I’m telling you right now, if ever he finds out that I’ve killed you, he will not even scold me. Don’t think too highly of yourself. You might be under his protection once, but it doesn’t mean that he will protect you forever.”

Sally was stupefied. Judging by the tone of his voice, she knew that Lawrence was serious. Deep inside her, she was also aware that Jackson had stopped loving her since long ago. She only deceived herself by believing that her beloved man also cared for her and had feelings for her.

“Do you remember Emily Xia and Jean Shen?” Lawrence asked. He fixed his gaze on Sally.

Sally met his gaze but remained silent.

“You bullied my Mom and you destroyed my family. You even killed Sharon and made Aria suffer a lot. What kind of punishment do you think can offset against your evil deeds?”

Lawrence continued to talk since Sally was not responding at all.

“Never did I expect that Cherry could have such a smart son. Well, when I sent people to follow you, I’ve already felt that you were different. It turned out, I underestimated you,” Sally finally spoke up. She pursed her mouth in a smirk.

“Great. You already dispelled my doubts. I will tell you what to do to pay for your misdeeds,” Lawrence said as he turned and walked to the window.

While he was standing by the window, he heard the sound of a gunshot. The switch room was soundproof so no one could hear it outside.

“She lost her consciousness, Mr. Lawrence,” Hellen reported.

“A helicopter is waiting for you in the suburbs. You go to the parking lot and and someone will pick you up there.

Transfer her to the most remote place and let her live. Find a servant to take care of her for the rest of her life,” Lawrence commanded.

“Yes, Mr. Lawrence. She will spend the rest of her life in a wheelchair,” Hellen replied.

When Hellen was gone, Lawrence also went out of the JC Group building.

He drove and headed straight for the military residential compound.

It had been five years since the last time he came here. Only a few people still lived here but all houses were renovated except for the Chu’s and the Lu’s.

Lawrence stopped his car outside the military residential compound. As he stepped into the yard and saw the familiar place, memories ran through his mind. This place reminded him of that old man who adored him very much. He suddenly missed those days with him.

‘Great-grandpa, I miss you so much, ‘ Lawrence thought with a sigh.

He stopped in front of the Chu family’s residence. However, he didn’t have the key so he couldn’t get in. ‘Was there any changes inside? Did Lily come here often to clean this place? Or maybe Dad had sold this house already?’ he wondered. He looked up the blue sky. All of a sudden, he felt restful.

It was as if everything that happened didn’t matter at all. All of those things had been in the past. He just decided to bear some things and some people in his mind.
