At these words, Henry felt that the whole world had become silent, without a sound.
As if he had lost his soul, his expression froze and his grip on the phone, unconsciously loosened, the phone slipped from his palm and fell to the ground with a popping sound.
At this voice, Fraser heard it and hurriedly shouted, "Dr. Baxter? Dr. Baxter?"
Henry did not respond, still standing stiffly, his whole face filled with shock and bewilderment.
Ivy was dead ......
It was only after a long time that Henry reacted to what Fraser had just said, Ivy was dead!
He could not believe Ivy was dead!
Henry's body swayed, and finally, unable to support himself, his knees went weak and he fell straight to the ground with a thud, before clutching his head and shouting heartily, "Ahhhhhh!"
He was, obviously, unable to accept the outcome.
Although he knew that Ivy's eventual end would be inevitable, he also hypnotised himself every day to prepare himself mentally.
What he didn't expect, however, was for the day to come so soon that he hadn't forgotten her and wasn't mentally prepared for it.
Henry's eyes were filled with tears and his body was trembling.
Seeing him like this, the doctors and nurses not far away rushed over to ask, "Dr. Baxter, what's wrong with you? Is everything alright?"
Henry didn't answer these people's questions, he tremblingly reached out his hand towards the ground and touched the phone, after feeling it, he put it to his ear and asked in a trembling voice, "Fraser, tell me, you're lying to me, you're lying to me, right? Ivy is not dead, right?"
Fraser lowered his eyelids and sighed, "I'm sorry, Dr. Baxter, I understand your feelings, but I'm not lying to you, Ivy is really dead, her body has been sent to the third hospital."
The third hospital, where George previously worked.
Hearing Fraser's words, Henry's heart felt as if it had been viciously grabbed, hurting so badly that he couldn't breathe.
He held the phone in a death grip, "Why? Why so soon? You killed her, didn't you?"
He had always known that Stanley did not intend to hand Ivy over to the police and intended to take his own revenge.
So the likelihood that Stanley killed Ivy is the highest.
Fraser frowned, "You misunderstood us, we did try to kill her, but we really didn't, she killed herself."
"Killed herself?" Henry's pupils suddenly shrank, "How could ...... How could Ivy commit suicide!"
"That's the truth, Ivy really committed suicide, she knew we wouldn't let her go and she knew she was desperate, so she killed herself. Dr. Baxter, you loved her so much, you should know her character, she is proud, conceited, how could she allow herself to be disposed of?" Fraser said.
Henry's mouth dropped open and he was unable to speak.
Because as Fraser said, Ivy is proud and conceited, even if she really has no choice, she will not leave her life to others but will only end it herself.
So Ivy really did commit suicide!
Realizing this, Henry had no more to say and bowed his head deeply so that the expression on his face could not be seen.
His small sobs, however, gave away that he was crying.
Fraser heard it too, and there was nothing he could do but sigh.
He knew why Henry was crying so sadly, after all, his beloved died.
Although Dr. Baxter said at the time that he did not love Ivy anymore and would not see her again, how could Dr. Baxter stop loving so soon after such a short period of time?
That was why the emotions turned to this when he heard that Ivy had died.
