Violet shook her head, "No."
Stanley put the water glass aside and asked again, "Are you hungry?"
Violet still shook her head, indicating that she was not hungry.
Watching Stanley's meticulous care of Violet, Ivy on the sofa opposite the hospital bed couldn't help but clenched her fists which were on the armrest of the sofa. She was even more jealous, but she didn’t show it on the face. She said with a smile, "Miss Hunt, you are awake. You don't know how much Stanley worried about you while you were asleep."
Violet looked up at Ivy, "Why are you here?"
"I heard Henry say that you’re hospitalized, so I come here to see you." Ivy replied with a friendly smile.
Violet snorted.
Come here to see her?
Come here to see Stanley, right?
Although Violet thought so, she didn't say anything.
She was now immersed in the pain of losing her mother. She didn't want to pay too much attention to other people.
Suddenly, a cell phone ringing broke the silence in the ward.
Stanley took the phone out of his pocket. After taking a look, he frowned slightly, "I'll go out to answer the phone. Ivy, you should go back first."
"I'm not in a hurry. It's not time for the nurse's rounds. I'll stay here to accompany Miss Hunt." Ivy looked at Violet.
Stanley hesitated for two seconds, and finally agreed.
With Violet's current situation, if there was someone to accompany her, he could rest assured.
Thinking about it, Stanley rubbed Violet's hair and went out with his mobile phone.
Only Violet and Ivy were left in the ward.
Violet didn't want to talk with Ivy, but Ivy didn't think so.
She supported the armrest of the sofa to get up, walked towards the bed, and stopped by the bed, "Miss Hunt, I heard Henry say that you were hospitalized because you were so sad when hearing your mother died, right?"
Hearing it, Violet finally reacted. She slowly turned her stiff neck to look at Ivy, "Does this have anything to do with you?"
"It has nothing to do with me." Ivy shrugged, with a malicious smile on her face, "But I am very happy to see your sad look."
Violet's pupils trembled, "Happy?"
"Yes." Ivy stroked the rail of the hospital bed with her fingers. There was a trace of sickness in her voice, “Seeing you like this, I thought of what I felt like when Stanley was snatched by you. So I am very happy to see you like this now."
"So that's the case." Violet grabbed the quilt on her body and sneered, "I didn't expect Miss Ellis to say such shocking and terrifying words. It seems that this is your true face."
Ivy's eyes flickered a few times. Neither she denied nor admitted.
Violet closed her eyes, "I want to know why you stop pretending in front of me now?"
"There is no reason. Pretending is also very tiring. I'm tired. Besides, Stanley is not here. What's the difference between pretending and not pretending?" Ivy shrugged.
Violet pursed her pale lips tightly, "Really? Since this is your true face, Miss Ellis, then I would like to ask you a question. Is it you who burn down my warehouse, caused the car accidents of my son and my friend, and joined force with Eason to kidnap me?"
Violet had been suspected Ivy a long time ago, but later she dispelled the suspicion.
Until now, when Ivy showed her true face, Violet thought of those suspicions.
Ivy looked at Violet in surprise, "So, Miss Hunt, you actually have experienced such terrible things?"
Violet stared at Ivy with cold eyes, as if trying to tell from her face whether she really didn't know or was pretending.
However, after watching for a while, Violet found Ivy still looked so shocked and surprised, as if she really didn't know anything.
