Chapter 603 An Unexpected Discovery (Part One) (1/2)

Before turning in that night, Jackson and Cherry packed their things.

Jackson held Cherry close to him, cuddling as they laid in the bed.

Her voice wavered with worry, as Cherry spoke,”Honey, I am still upset about leaving the kids behind.”

”Don't worry. Derek is going to help. Amy and he are going to look in on Lawrence and Violet to make sure everything's okay,” Jackson said reassuringly to Cherry.

”I called my mom and she asked if Lawrence and Violet could go live with her,” Cherry told him.

”It's probably better if we don't trouble them like that,” replied Jackson.

”Umm,” Cherry replied,”Yes, Lawrence can take care of himself, but it's different for Violet. I'm worried about her.”

Knowing Cherry still had misgivings, Jackson told her in a soft, calming tone,”Sweetheart, Lawrence will take care of her. There's no need to worry.”

”Ummm, okay. We should get to sleep. We need to get up early tomorrow,” Cherry said.

The next morning, Cherry went about her usual routine. She got up, and went straight to her daughter's room.

”Mom,” Lawrence Chu called out from behind Cherry before she reached her daughter's room.

Smiling warmly as she turned to her son who was standing across the hall, she greeted him,”Good morning, my boy!”

”Are you going to wake Violet up?” Lawrence Chu asked. He knew his mother was heading to his sister's room to wake her, but, he wanted to show his mom he could handle things while his parents were away. So, he stood a little straighter as he approached Cherry and told her,”You can leave this to me. We will meet you and dad downstairs shortly for breakfast.”
