Her words touched Jackson, and he flashed a brilliant smile as he hugged. "You always overthink everything. That's why you are so trepidatious. People are capable of looking after themselves, and that includes our children. They know how to take care of themselves. So, don't worry about them," he said tenderly.

"Alright," Cherry looked at Jackson earnestly and in a serious tone said,"we should leave for the airport now."

"Yes, but first we should get our suitcases," agreed Jackson smiling.

The final bell of the day rang and students scurried to gather their things into school bags and scuffled out of classrooms, excited to get out of there.

Before leaving, Rebecca Lin focused her gaze on Lawrence Chu. Sitting in his seat, he sat alone engrossed in his book. She hesitated, wrestling with her curiosity about what he was still doing here. After some time had passed, he hadn't budged, and Rebecca walked determinedly over to Lawrence.

In a quiet voice, Rebecca leaned over saying,"Lawrence?"

"Oh hi, Rebecca!" recognizing her voice, Lawrence responded as he looked up into her eyes,"Would you like me to walk you home?" he asked.

"Yes," Rebecca Lin nodded.

Before Lawrence had time to respond, Mike Yu rushed toward them, interrupting the conversation.

"But, Rebecca, Lawrence promised to play basketball with me today, after school. So, he can't take you home!" argued Mike. He had made up his mind, 'I have to help Lawrence out get rid of her this time! It's been a long time since we played basketball together, and then today, Lawrence finally agreed he would.

"Thank you so much, Lawrence," Rebecca said smiling up at Lawrence. There was a subtle change in her tone, which Lawrence didn't notice much.

After Lawrence had repacked his schoolbag, he ran his fingers through her smooth, thick hair, as he gazed into her eyes and emphasized,"I'm just happy I can help you. I'll handle your mother's fees, so, don't fret on the money. My dad has friends who are in the medical field.
