Chapter 618 Our Child''s Future (Part One)
It broke Amy''s heart to see her daughter distraught like this. She held Alice Lu''s arm and eventually
gave in,"Alright, alright, I''ll take you over there."
While Amy was driving on the way, she called Violet Chu and Alice Lu''s teacher to exin that they
would note to school today.
The first ss of the day began in five minutes, and Mike Yu sat at his desk ncing back at
Lawrence''s empty seat. Mike wondered if Lawrence would bete or not show up for school today.
As worried as Mike was, he ultimately decided to look for Lawrence because seeing that Lawrence was
okay would be the only way to set his mind at ease.
Mike got to his feet and walked over to Jason. "Inform me if Lawrence gets here, the minute he
arrives," Mike ordered.
"Okay," replied Jason, wondering where Mike was going.
After he left the ss, Mike Yu walked down the hall toward the head teacher''s office.
"Mike, are you here to request a leave of absence?" asked the head teacher looking surprised. While
young master Mike gave the appearance of being an unruly pupil, the head teacher believed Mike Yu
wasn''t a bad student since he performed well most of the time.
"Yes, and Lawrence Chu would like a pass to leave too. He will be absent today," Mike Yu informed his
teacher. If he was right, there was a ny percent chance that Lawrence wasn''ting into today. So,
Mike Yu felt duty bound to lend his friend a hand by requesting a pass for him.
"Lawrence will not being into school either?" repeated the bbergasted teacher, who was fully
aware that the young master Lawrence of the Chu family needed to be handled with respect. Not only
was Lawrence an excellent student, but his conduct was above reproach. Moreover, when it came to
family background, none couldpare with him.
"Yes, he does," Mike reiterated as he maintained eye contact with the principal.
The head teacher suddenly felt awkward about the situation. On the one hand, he thought, it would be
unwise to displease either of the two young masters. Then again, without their parents'' permission, he
knew he shouldn''t give his approval, in case the two boys had something important to do.
"Is there a problem?" A look of irritation crossed Mike Yu''s face as he asked.
Taking note of the irate look on his face, the head teacher promptly replied in a courteous manner,"No,
no."
"Then, approve my request," Mike Yu stated. Without waiting for a reply, Mike Yu turned on his heel
immediately and left the office.
As the head teacher watched Mike Yu walk away, he felt like his hands were tied, and a little hopeless.
From the school, Mike Yu hailed a cab to take him to Lawrence''s house.
Just as Mike Yu was about to ring the doorbell, Bill and Lily came out of the vi. He recognized them
because he had been to the Chu residence before.
"Lily. Bill," Mike Yu called out hurriedly.
Looking up to see who was calling her name, Lily saw Mike Yu, the young master of the Yu Family. She
strode to the gate and opened it for him quickly as she said,"Master Mike, what brings you here?"
"I am looking for Lawrence. Is he home?" asked Mike Yu while he paid close attention to the strange
expression Lily and Bill made simultaneously.
"What''s wrong?" Mike Yu recognized the clues, and knew something bad had happened in the Chu
household.
"Master Mike, it''s Violet, she''s at the hospital now. Master Lawrence is staying with her, and we are
headed there now," Bill informed Mike Yu.
"Violet is in the hospital?" Mike Yu couldn''t believe what he was hearing.
"Yes, Violet wascerated by ssst night, identally, so..." Lily''s voice trailed off.
Getting the basic gist of what urred, Mike Yu knew Lawrence would me himself for his Sister''s
injury because he hadn''t stayed homest night to take care of her.
"Lily, I want to go to the hospital with you and Bill," uttered Mike Yu instantly.
"But...?" Lily didn''t know what to do next.
"Please Miss Lily? Lawrence and I are best friends, and I want to see how little Violet is doing," begged
Mike Yu sincerely. He held Lily in high regard because while she was just a housekeeper for the Chu
family, in his eyes, she was more like a kindly Grandmother.
The pleading look in Mike Yu''s eyes did her in, and Lily said,"Fine, okay! Get in the car, let''s go!"
Out in front of the VIP intensive care unit door, people were leaning close to the ss window to get a
peek at Violet Chu as shey motionless, in aa.

"Violet, please wake up! You made a promise! We would go to school together every day. So, you need
to wake up! Please!" Alice Lu cried loudly. Unable to see clearly from the tears she shed, Alice leaned
closer to the ss window and hit it with her open hand in an attempt to wake Violet Chu.
Standing just outside the door to Violet''s room, Amy quietly wept when she had seen the extent of
Violet''s injuries. As she looked at the gauze covering Violet''s entire body, Amy imagined what life had
in store for Violet''s future.
"Alice, my good girl, we are at the hospital, you need to stop crying like that," Derek''s heart ached to
see his daughter crying, and he tried consoling her.
"Daddy, I want Violet! I want her to wake up," Alice Lu sobbed.
"The doctor said she will wake up soon. Let''s be patient and wait a bit longer, okay?" persuaded Derek
softly.
Alice Lu stared into her Daddy''s eyes, and decided to believe what he told her. She nodded as she
sniffled, trying to stop herself from crying.
Standing at Lawrence''s side, Mike Yu took a good look at his friend. Tears had made Lawrence''s eyes
swollen, puffy and red. Having suffered one blow to his heart yesterday during school, and arriving
home to find his little Sister injured, Lawrence must be feeling overwhelmed and depressed. After all,
This little girl lying unconscious in the hospital bed was beloved by Lawrence. Mike recalled Lawrence
telling him that the two most important people in his life were his Mother and Sister. Adding to the
misery, Violet Chu had sunk into a deepa. Her face was free of marks but looked pale, while her
back, shins, and feet were wrapped tightly with gauze. As he had seen the extent of the wounds, Mike
easily pictured Violet Chu after she left the hospital ward. Oh, over time, the wounds would heal, but,
scars would remain on her form, and many of those would stay with her for life — an unbearable
consequence for a girl.
