IN LOVE WITH A SOLDIER, VOLUME 2 - Season 9 Episode 98

“Yes, don’t you have any idea about it?” asked Mike. Lawrence’s expression was making him confused.

“It surprises me that Uncle Wilson has asked Aunt Selina to manage the hospital. It’s a very tough job,” Lawrence commented. As far as Lawrence knew, Uncle Wilson loved Aunt Selina deeply. And more than that, he had never asked Aunt Selina to do any work that would be tiring for her. But this time, just to help the Xiao Family out, Uncle Wilson had even agreed Aunt Selina to manage the hospital. It wasn’t an easy job, he should be knowing that.

“Maybe he had made that decision just for the sake of the Chu Family,” said Mike. And then he added casually, “Chu Family and the Xiao Family are relatives. When you were not here, something terrible has happened to their Family.

Uncle Wilson was worried about them, hence, Aunt Selina decided to help them by managing the hospital. This should help you understand.”

While he was trying to assure Lawrence, Mike nodded to keep showing his approval to the same.

“I will go and visit Greg tomorrow, I am worried about him too. As for Aunt Selina, I would just ignore her for now. Please tell Uncle Wilson and Aunt Selina that I have come back,” said Lawrence. He wasn’t capable of taking too many things into consideration at that moment.

“Okay, no problem. And I have also told about your relationship with Aria to Uncle Derek and Uncle Mond. They both understand that you love her and she is your choice, but,” Mike paused for a second, looking at Lawrence seriously, and then asked, “Uncle Mond wants me to ask you, what do you plan to do next?

How are you going to deal with Sally, now that she has taken things too far?” On hearing the name ‘Sally’, Lawrence became hyper again. How he wished that Sally was standing in front of him right now and that he could kill her there and then.

“First, I will have to find her,” said Lawrence, determined. And then he added to Mike, “Before I came back, I asked my Dad for his suggestion on that matter, but he said nothing. Everything has been left up to me now.”

“Really?” Obviously, this left Mike a little surprised. And he immediately asked, “Does your mother know anything about it?”

Lawrence shook his head and said, “Keep it as a secret from Mom. If she gets to know it, she would feel hurt. She must not have forgotten what has happened here during the past, she just doesn’t want to mention it. If she gets to know the bad news, she would surely get upset once again. I want to protect her too. She shouldn’t be harmed again, absolutely not.”

Mike nodded, agreeing to what Lawrence had said.

Both of them just kept silent and the silence in the living room was quite unnerving.

Suddenly, Lawrence’s phone rang, which shook both of them.

Lawrence picked up his phone from the sofa and stared at the screen for a second. At first, he was surprised but then he tried to look calm.

“Do you want me to leave you alone?” asked Mike. From Lawrence’s expression, he could understand who the caller was.

“No need,” replied Lawrence. And then he answered the call.

“What’s the matter?” said Lawrence.

“Master, have you come back now?” “Yes, I am back,” Lawrence briefly replied.

“Then what is the next task we are supposed to carry out?”

“Try to look for Sally in the whole city,” Lawrence ordered.

“How are we supposed to deal with her?”

“I will arrange a helicopter for you. Call me if you find her,” said Lawrence. Actually, he himself didn’t know how to deal with Sally.

“I get it.”

After hanging up, Lawrence picked up the glass and gulped a mouthful of red wine.

“Will Hellen do as you say?” asked Mike.
“Yes, this is the right time,” said Lawrence with hatred in his eyes, “This time, I will make the woman pay for what she has done all during these years.” Mike didn’t say a word in return.

After Mike had gone, Lawrence walked upstairs to rest. When he walked into his room, he saw that Aria was standing in front of the windows and he noticed that she was barefoot.

Lawrence was worried that she would catch a cold or fall sick. He immediately took the woolen blanket from the sofa, went towards her and wrapped her with the blanket. And then he embraced her from the back.

“Why didn’t you wear shoes? You might catch a cold.” Lawrence whispered softly in Aria’s ear.

“Don’t worry. There are carpets here, I don’t feel cold at all,” Aria answered, looking towards him with a grin.

“Even though there are carpets, you should wear shoes. Remember it next time,” said Lawrence. He was paying immense attention to Aria.

“Okay,” Aria promised to him obediently.
“I am very tired, let’s go to bed and catch some sleep,” said Lawrence. Since he had got off the plane, he had been busy with something or other and had got no time to rest at all. Now, he really felt very exhausted.

“Okay.”

Next morning, when Lawrence got up to go, Aria was still sleeping soundly.

Lawrence whispered in her ear, “I am going out. If you feel hungry, remember to eat whatever food you like. Lily will prepare the meals.”

“Okay, I got it,” answered Aria, dreamily.
Lawrence got dressed quickly and took a shower, and then he walked downstairs to leave.

Hearing his footsteps, Lily walked out of the kitchen and greeted him, “Master, good morning.”

“Morning. Don’t prepare breakfast for me, I am going out. Please remember to make some food for Aria. She will want to eat something whenever she gets up,” said Lawrence, before he left the house.

“Okay. I will make some food for her,” replied Lily.
