IN LOVE WITH A SOLDIER - Season 9 Episode 47

“Well, let’s wait and see,” Lawrence replied. He looked so distracted and his mind seemed to be in a mess. When Mike mentioned his Mom, he suddenly thought about her. Indeed, he missed her. Not only his Mom, he missed his Dad and Violet as well.

In the afternoon, Lawrence arrived at the tea house where he would be meeting Greg.

As he entered the tea house, he looked around. There were no other customers on the first floor. The only person he saw was the waiter.

“Welcome, Mr. Lawrence,” the waiter greeted him. “Mr. Greg is waiting for you on the second floor.”

Without saying a word, Lawrence walked straight to the stairs. Greg probably reserved the whole tea house that was why he didn’t see any other customers aside from him.

When he reached the second floor, he saw Greg sitting in one of the tables. He was wearing a light gray casual outfit.

Greg saw him too and hurriedly got up to greet him, “Lawrence, here you are.”

Lawrence sat down across Greg. He then raised his head and looked into Greg’s eyes. He asked, “What are you going to tell me?”

Greg knew pretty well that Lawrence was a very impatient person. So, without saying anything, he took out a folder and put it in front of him while he said, “I had a dream. However, I still can’t make it happen. I am hoping that you can help me realize this dream.”

Lawrence didn’t take the folder since he didn’t know what was really in it. He looked askance at Greg and asked, “What’s this?”

“This folder contains every detail about Violet’s cosmetic surgery. I gathered all the information and things needed. Also, I’ve already fixed everything in the US.

The doctor who will conduct the surgery is my best friend. He is only waiting for Violet to go there,” Greg explained.

“Lawrence, can you take Violet to the US and stay with her during her operation? You’re the only person I can depend on this time. I know Violet means a lot to you. Can you help me on this?”

When Lawrence heard that it involved Violet, he took the folder. Greg was right, Violet meant a lot to him. He cared so much about her. Greg was not the only person who loved Violet.

When he opened the folder and skimmed through the contents, Lawrence was somewhat surprised. Indeed, everything had been fixed in advance. He didn’t expect that Greg could finish a plan like this in such a short period of time.

Greg looked out of the window with a gloomy expression. Then he gently said, “Lawrence, I know you care about Violet as much as I do. I know we both hope that she can get rid of those scars on her body the soonest time possible. So, you need to help me materialize my plan.”

Lawrence didn’t answer Greg. Instead, he threw the folder on the table and asked him, “Why don’t you take her to the US yourself? I can give you the address of our house in Hong Kong. You can personally go there to see Violet and take her to the US with you.”

Greg shook his head and replied in a low voice, “No, that’s not possible. She doesn’t want to see me.”

“You are her husband,” reminded Lawrence. He still believed that Greg and Violet loved each other so much.

“But I’ve never been a good husband to her,” Greg replied in a regretful tone. “I wasn’t able to take good care of her so I don’t deserve to be her husband. Also, I don’t know how to deal with her reactions if in case she sees me again.” Lawrence fell silent after hearing Greg’s sad words.

“Since we were young, I have always been dreaming of helping her get rid of those scars on her body. However, I can’t do anything but to accept our situation now. Many things have changed. But I still don’t want to give up on that dream. I will do my best to make it come true,” Greg stated firmly. “That’s why I called you. You’re the only one who can help me with this. Lawrence, can you help me?” he added. “Let’s work together to help Violet return to her old self. She only needs to undergo three courses of treatment. After that, we will be able to see our beautiful angel again. Her looks will return to what it was used to be.”

When he looked at Greg’s pleading eyes, Lawrence couldn’t say anything else.

Actually, he had already accepted Greg’s proposal deep in his heart and mind. He was very happy to hear that Violet could have a chance to get rid of those scars.

Of course, he would do everything for Violet. Especially when it was something that could help her live a healthier and happier life.

Without saying anything to Greg, Lawrence took out his phone and dialed Polly’s number. As soon as the line was connected, he ordered, “Book me a ticket for Hong Kong tomorrow. I need the earliest flight.”

“Yes, sir,” Polly replied respectfully. Then she asked, “Mr. Lawrence, how about the return ticket?”

“No need for a return ticket for the time being. Just wait for my further instructions,” said Lawrence.

“Okay. I’ll deal with it right away,” replied Polly.

After he hung up, Lawrence turned his eyes to Greg. He saw that the previous gloomy expression was now replaced by a happy look on his face. ‘Maybe he really cares about Violet as much as I do, ‘ he thought.

“Lawrence, thank you,” Greg said in a joyful tone.

“You are welcome,” Lawrence replied with his usual cold voice. Then he added, “By the way, I need your help.”

Greg was stunned and looked at Lawrence in confusion. He couldn’t believe what he just heard. How could Lawrence need his help?

“What’s the matter?” he asked. “There’s a patient who was admitted in your hospital this morning. Her name is Kate Bai,” Lawrence started.

“I’m not sure about that. I’ll go back to the hospital after this so I can check with the inpatient department,” Greg answered.

He was quite busy taking care of everything in the XS Hospital now so it was impossible for him to know every detail of the patients coming in and out of the hospital.

“She is my friend’s mother. You know what I mean, right?” Lawrence asked. Greg knew well that Lawrence would never turn to him for help if it was not important. So, he really needed to take care of this Kate Bai woman.

Moreover, Lawrence was his brother-in-law. Naturally, he would help him as long as he could.

Greg nodded and said, “I know. I’ll deal with everything well as soon as I get back to the hospital. She will receive the best treatment my hospital can offer and I will take care of her personally.”

“I hope she can recover soon,” Lawrence said with a hint of sadness in his voice. Then he stood up, took the folder and turned to leave.

While he was driving, Lawrence put on his Bluetooth headset and dialed a number.

“Hello,” a soft voice was heard from the other end of the line as soon as the call was connected.

Lawrence’s heart immediately melted upon hearing her voice but he did his best to hide it. His expression didn’t change on the surface. “Where are you?” he asked.

“I’m at home. My Mom was already transferred to the XS Hospital so I’m packing some stuff for her,” Aria replied.
