IN LOVE WITH A SOLDIER - Season 9 Episode 83

At six o’clock in the morning, Greg hurriedly left the house. He was driving to the address that Sharon gave him to pick her up.

It was already half past seven when he arrived at the apartment, but Sharon was not yet downstairs. He glanced at his watch and furrowed his brows. He thought, ‘It seems that I arrive too early.’
Greg decided to wait for Sharon to come down, so he just sat inside his car. He kept on looking at the exit, hoping that he could see her there. However, eight o’clock came, but Sharon was still nowhere to be seen.

Greg felt a bit worried, so he took out his cellphone and dialed Sharon’s number.

He had been calling for a long time, but no one answered. He felt that something was odd. ‘Did something bad happen?’ he wondered.

Panic-stricken, Greg pulled out his car key and quickly got off his car. Then he ran to the apartment entrance.

When he reached the room, Greg stood at the door and rang the doorbell ceaselessly, but no one answered. He was already banging the door with his fist, but he still didn’t get any response from the inside. He took his phone again and tried to call Sharon but to no avail. Since he was already very anxious, he decided to call the police.

While waiting for the policemen to arrive, Greg got more terrified. He had a foreboding that something bad really happened. As time went by, all he could only do was to pray for Sharon’s safety.

After a few minutes, the policemen arrived. Since no one was answering inside, they decided to open the door with the help of the apartment manager.

As soon as the door was opened, Greg rushed inside. There was no one in the living room, so he started to search for Sharon one room to another. When he opened the last room, he froze in his tracks.

He saw Sharon lying on the floor, clutching the leg of the side table. She looked lifeless and cold.

“Auntie! Auntie!” Greg shouted as he got flustered. He crouched down and held Sharon up without thinking about anything else.

His body trembled when he felt that Sharon’s body was quite cold.

At that moment, fear overwhelmed him. He felt that someone was looking at him not far away. Then he looked at his Aunt. He once again felt the coldness of her body.

“No, no, no!” Greg shouted despairingly. He was unwilling to believe that Sharon was gone. Although he treated her impolitely, it didn’t mean that he hated her. Sharon was a good person despite her imperfections. And a good person like her didn’t deserve such kind of terrible ending.

The policemen heard Greg’s cry so they rushed to where he was. When they saw that Greg was holding a woman in his arms, one policeman crouched down and checked Sharon’s pulse. His expression immediately changed and he ordered the other policemen, “This woman is dead. Cordon off the area.”

Greg didn’t know how he had walked out of the apartment. He was still puzzled. He just saw that several people in white carried Sharon and took her away. He felt like he already hated that white uniform. For so many years, he had been wearing a white uniform at the hospital. But when he saw those people carried Sharon out, he wished that he didn’t see that white uniform at this moment.

He got in his car and sat on the passenger seat. Mike was already at the driver’s seat.

Mike didn’t know what to say when he saw that Greg looked very upset. He could understand Greg’s sorrow. They were not able to help Sharon. Sally had already killed her before they could arrive and save her.

“Fasten your seat belt,” Mike said without taking his gaze away from Greg. The sadness on Greg’s handsome face was very apparent. ‘If Violet knew how sad Greg was right now, would she get hurt?’ Mike thought.

Greg complied with Mike’s order mechanically.

When he saw that Greg already fastened his seat belt, Mike started the car and drove away.

When they reached the gate of the Xiao residence, they saw several cars parked outside. Mike knew that Derek and Mond were already inside. The news about Sharon’s death spread around the city an hour ago and when he went to find Greg, his Dad had already called Derek to discuss the issue.

Greg and Mike remained seated in the car.

Mike put his right hand on Greg’s shoulder and called out his name softly, “Greg.”

Greg slowly turned to looked at him. When their eyes met, Mike could tell how heartbroken Greg was.

“Be strong,” Mike said. “There are many things that you need to deal with.

Remember that Sally is still free right now, so everyone is in danger. We don’t know what will be her next move so you have to fix yourself and face her,” he added. He knew that Greg’s condition was not good but he didn’t want him to be like that. He preferred to see the Greg who was a personable doctor with a high critical thinking skill.

Greg understood Mike’s words. He knew that he needed to deal with many things and he couldn’t just sulk in the corner. He needed to take care of his father, prepare for Sharon’s funeral, and continue to manage the XS Hospital. He had to face all these.

“Okay,” Greg answered with a nod.

“Come on, let’s get off the car. Uncle Derek and Uncle Mond must be waiting for us inside,” Mike urged as he removed his hand from Greg’s shoulder. He opened the door and got off.

Before they entered the villa, they saw a lot of men in black standing in two lines.

They were all from the Yu Family.

“Master,” the leader greeted Mike politely.

“Once you see someone suspicious, you already know what to do,” Mike ordered. He looked around the villa and realized that the Xiao Family was really the weakest. He must protect the members of this family well.
