Chapter 659 I Always Remember Her Merits (Part Two)


    Sharon was stunned into silence. ''How can I put an end to this?'' she wondered.


    Carol and Tina looked at the scene in front of them, not knowing how to react.


    Sharon felt helpless. She turned to look at Fred, who had a strange expression on his face. She grew


    even more bewildered.


    "Fred, what''s wrong with you?" Sharon asked him. There was apparently something wrong with Fred.


    His face was pale.


    Sharon''s voice made Carol and Tina nce in the direction of Fred.


    "Are you okay?" Carol too was puzzled at the expression on his face.


    Fred shook his head, as ifing back to reality. He mumbled,"Violet, she... she is...."


    "Dad," Greg interrupted his father at once. It seemed that Carol and Tina had no idea about Violet''s


    background, and he wanted to keep it that way. He especially didn''t want Tina to know. Greg knew her


    character well. If Tina got to know that Violet had scars on her body, she wouldn''t miss the opportunity


    to exact her revenge.


    Fred took one look at his son and retracted his words.


    "I can tell you now, I won''t marry Tina. Not ever," Greg said, firm in his decision. He was unshakable in


    his belief that he wanted to marry Violet and only Violet.


    Fred could tell his son was determined from the look in his eyes. He still couldn''t forget the day Greg


    had told him about his dream for the future.


    It was a night when Fred slept beside Greg as always. As a single parent, Fred tried to spend all his


    time off work with his son. He knew Greg didn''t have maternal love in his life. All Fred could do as a


    father was make up for it through his own love. He might not be able topensate for itpletely,


    but he didn''t want his son to feel the absence of a maternal figure.


    Gregy in the bed but did not close his eyes. Instead, he stared at his father.


    "Greg, what''s wrong?" Fred noticed that his son didn''t fall asleep and knew he was deep in thought.


    "Dad, do you think Violet''s scars can be removed?" Greg asked with all seriousness. It was not a joke


    to him.


    Fred looked at his son''s earnest eyes and did not want to lie. He shook his head and said,"There is no


    cure for her currently in the country. Her scar is not a burn. It requires advanced technology and


    surgery to be treated. There should be an opportunity abroad a few yearster."


    "Dad, I don''t want to learn how to draw. I want to be a doctor and treat Violet''s scars," Greg said.


    "Greg..." Fred felt surprised at this response. He knew his son and Violet studied in the same ss at


    school, but his son would be changing his future and even his life if he decided to do this.


    "Dad, I know what I am talking about," Greg said, determined.


    "But if you do this, your entire life would change. Why do you want this?" Fred wondered out loud. He


    was fine with Greg being curious about bing a doctor, as long as he still continued learning to


    paint. His son would give up painting if Fred didn''t convince him otherwise.


    "Because I like Violet," Greg said without hesitation.


    Fred was stunned at this answer, not having expected his son to have such a thought.


    Seeing that his father was speechless, Greg continued,"Dad, I really want to study medicine. Cosmetic


    medicine. I want to help Violet."


    Fred looked at Greg''s determination and didn''t want to say no. He knew his son well. Greg would get


    even more adamant to pursue this if somebody denied him. Fred would talk to his son about this in


    detailter.


    "Greg, you are still young. You have a long time to think about this decision. If you want to study


    medicine, we have lots of books that you can read to get a basic understanding of it. If you feel like it,


    we can n for the next steps, all right?" Fred said. He did not want to approve his son''s request


    immediately, nor did he want to deny him. He could only advise his son from a neutral position.


    "Okay, I know, Dad," Greg said, nodding in response.


    "Now sleep. You have to go to school tomorrow," Fred said.


    Greg closed his eyes. "Good night, Dad."

    Concern rose in Fred''s heart as he looked at his sleeping son. He did not know if his son had this


    sudden thought because of his young and ignorant love, or if he just sympathized with Violet. If it was


    out of sympathy, the decision might cost his son too much. It would shape the rest of his life. Greg


    might regret it in the future.


    Today, Fred finally understood that his son''s words that night were sincere. Greg was a mature and


    grown-up now. He knew what to choose, how to live, and what was good for him. He just said that


    Violet was his girlfriend, which meant that he had loved her since childhood.


    Carol stalked over to Greg and stared at him. "Greg, I don''t understand what you see in that girl,


    Violet." Her voice rose. "You just publicly admitted that she is your girlfriend. My son lying on the


    hospital bed also says he likes Violet. It seems to me she is really good at manipting young men


    from wealthy families to make them fall in love with her."


    "Aunt Carol, you are wrong," Greg rejected her assumption. He still did not intend to tell Carol about


    Violet''s family background, but he couldn''t stand and do nothing while someone bad-mouthed his


    girlfriend. "My rtionship with Violet is no rush decision. Back in junior high, I had already admitted to


    it publicly. Our ssmates knew about our rtionship. This time, I am here to discuss my marriage


    with her. I want to spend my life with her."


    Carol was astonished at Greg''s words. "Are you the boyfriend she was referring to who was abroad?"


    Greg was taken aback at this query. He thought for a while and looked at Carol. "Oh, did she really say


    that?"


    Carol didn''t say anything.


    Greg smiled. He continued,"Then yes, it''s me. There is no one else except for me."


    Tina looked at Greg and Carol, oblivious to what they were talking about. She could tell that what they


    are saying had nothing to do with her.


    "Mom, what are you talking about?" Tina asked in anger. At present, what was more important was that


    she had been in love with Greg for so many years. How could she give up on him so easily? How could


    she allow him to marry another woman?


    Tina''s words jolted Carol out of her reverie. Sheposed herself, saying,"It seems I have done you a


    favor."


    "What are you talking about?" Greg asked her, narrowing his gaze. He didn''t understand what Carol


    meant.


    "I convinced Violet to promise me that she would leave Roger and the GR Group after he gets


    discharged from the hospital. It seems to me that in protecting my son, I lost my daughter''s happiness,"


    Carol said. What she did was not as simple as driving Violet away. It destroyed her own daughter''s


    happiness.


    "Oh," Gregmented shortly. His lips lifted into a smile. Violet did not tell him about any of this. That


    little girl always loved him in her heart, didn''t she? Greg looked at Carol and continued,"Then I would


    like to thank you, Aunt, for helping me," he continued. "To tell you the truth, I am still worried that Roger


    is out to ruin my bliss."


    "Greg, you... you..." Tina was angry, having never been treated like this before. She always got what


    she wanted. Greg was being so arrogant today, showing off his love for another woman in front of her.


    Was he testing her patience?


    "I really don''t know what it is about that woman. Both you and my brother are fascinated by her. My


    brother told me this morning that she was the only girl who ever made his heart beat so fast. Now, you


    are telling me that you love her. Really? What''s so special about her?" Tina nearly shouted out.


    "Everything about her is special. I love her for who she is." Greg said, his gaze sliding from Carol to


    Tina. He faced her with resolution. "Miss Tina, I can only apologize to you," he said. "I won''t marry you.


    Let''s not contact each other in the future. I would like to say let''s remain friends but you''re not one,


    either."
