Stanley walked over.
Violet seemed to see the hope. Suddenly she pouted, throwing herself into his arms and crying.
Stanley hugged her and gently patted her back, "How's mom?"
When he came here, he met Henry at the gate of the hospital.
What Henry told him was that something happened to Lily.
Violet cried so sadly, "I don't know. I have been here for more than an hour. My mom hasn't come out yet."
Hearing this, Stanley was stunned, "What happened to mom?"
"In the afternoon, the people at the police station called me and said that my mom fell down on the stairs in the villa of the Hunt family." Violet buried her head in his arms. Her tears wetted the collar of his suit.
Stanley squinted his eyes, "The villa of the Hunt family..."
"Yes." Violet nodded.
Stanley pursed his lips, "Why did Mom fall down the stairs?"
"I don't know. The people at the police station didn't tell me, nor did I ask." Violet held his sleeve tightly with both hands, crying and shaking her head.
Stanley gently pushed her away, "I have to call and ask."
"Okay." Violet gave a hmm, wiping tears with the back of her hand.
All her thoughts were at Lily's right now. Her mind was messed up. She was not in the mood to ask those.
It was a good choice to leave it to him.
Stanley took out his cell phone, walked aside, and dialed out.
Violet didn't know what he said to the phone. The phone hung up within two minutes.
Violet looked at him with red eyes, "How is it?"
Stanley shook his head slightly, "The police station said that they would let the police come over immediately and tell us the details."
"Okay." Violet clenched her hands together and responded.
It didn't take long for people from the police station to arrive.
"Are you Mr. Murphy and Miss Hunt?" the police officer looked at them and asked.
Hearing his voice, Violet was surprised, "Are you the one who called me before and told me that my mom had an accident?"
"Yes." The police officer nodded.
Violet went past Stanley and grabbed the police officer's sleeve, "Police officer, please tell me what happened to my mom?"
"Mrs. Hunt said that your mom slipped and fell down the stairs." The police officer replied.
"How come?" Violet clenched her fists, unwilling to believe this answer.
Stanley came forward, put his arm around her shoulders, and looked at the police officer, "I want to ask how you knew that my mother-in-law fell down the stairs?"
"It was the head of the Hunt family who called the police." The police officer said again.
"Eason?" Violet bit her lip, "Where are Eason and Talia now?"
"They are now at the police station. Although they said that it was your mom who fell down by herself, there is no evidence to prove that they told the truth, so we first brought them back to the police station for investigation." The police officer said.
Violet clenched her fists tightly, "No matter what, I never believe that my mother fell by herself."
Although it was true that people would accidentally slip and fall off the stairs, the probability of that was too small.
Besides, her mom fell down in the Hunt’s. What a coincidence!
She believed that her mother was pushed down.
Stanley saw what Violet was thinking. He put the hand on her shoulder and squeezed it gently, "Don't worry. I will find out the truth."
