Jessie opened her eyes, plums in her mouth, then stared down at the plate of plums.
She suddenly wondered where this plate of plums did George get it from?
Did someone give it to him, or did he buy it himself?
Why would he buy plums?
Was it possible that he liked plums so much that he bought them?
But it wasn't right. In the past few days in hospital, she hadn't seen him eating plums, let alone plums, not even fruit or snacks.
If he hadn't still been eating, she would have thought he'd become immortal and incorruptible.
So the origin of this talking plum was quite curious to her.
It would be unlikely to say that it was a gift.
He didn't know anyone here, so it was unlikely that anyone would give him anything, let alone a plum.
In short, she had never seen, in all her life, a patient being given a plum for seeing a patient.
Spitting out the core of the plum in her mouth, Jessie put down the plum tray in her hand, got up and walked to the bathroom, ready to rinse her mouth.
Plums are delicious, but one or two is enough, and too many in a row would be too much for teeth.
So, she was going to save the plums and eat them slowly later.
Anyway, it's not going to break anytime soon.
On the other side, in the next ward.
After Jessie went out, George raised his hand and rubbed his brow, then took out his mobile phone and dialed a number out.
The call was made to Stanley, so Stanley was still a little surprised when he received it.
"What's up?" It was night on Stanley's side at this time.
He had just finished reading a story to his two children, putting them to sleep and coming out of their room when his mobile phone rang in his pocket.
When he took it out, it was a surprising call from George.
Of course, he did not think that at this time George called or for who the hypnotist for Jessie was.
After all, George knew he couldn't possibly say, so he would never ask again.
Naturally then, the caller was calling at this time to ask about other things.
Sure enough, on the other end of the phone, George hummed when he heard Stanley's words, "I contacted Ivan once before."
"Ivan?" Stanley narrowed his eyes instantly when he heard the name, "You really do have contacts."
George wasn't surprised that Stanley would guess this.
Stanley even knew that he had learned about the whereabouts of the Robinson family from Ivan, so how could he not suspect that he could still be in contact with Ivan?
It was just that, to his surprise, Stanley knew that he could possibly get in touch with Ivan, but never once asked him for Ivan's whereabouts or contact information.
It was not clear whether Stanley was confident that he could find Ivan or whether it was because of something else.
"I asked Ivan who the hypnotist was that had information about Jessie, and he told me." George pushed his glasses and added.
Stanley narrowed his eyes, "And then what?"
He wasn't surprised that Ivan knew who the hypnotist was for Jessie.
So all he could do now was to guard against everything, eliminate all danger and protect those around him, especially his wife and children.
"Ivan also told me about it and he involved Violet in it."
Speaking of this, George's face was very grim, "Ivan knows very well that even if he dueled, he would not be your opponent, so in order to have a chance to win over you, he would use Violet as a bargaining chip to threaten you."
"What did you say?" Stanley's face suddenly changed dramatically, and a terrifying aura emanated from his body, as if he was a devil crawling out of hell, chilling people to the bone.
George naturally knew that his words would make Stanley angry.
To be honest, he was just as angry at the time when he heard Ivan said that.
"Ivan will, most likely, look for an opportunity to kidnap Violet, because he said at that time that he hoped that I would also be present when you did the final duel with him and would be able to save Violet's life, which means that not only will he use Violet to threaten you, but at the same time, he won't estimate Violet's safety, and most likely, he will make Violet not dead but also injured." George opened his mouth, dropping another heavy bomb that made Stanley almost storm out.
Stanley's face could be more gloomy, the hand that squeezed the phone, also deadly tightened up, as if to crush the phone, his voice was incomparably cold, "Ivan deserves to die!"
He could duel with Ivan, but he would never allow Ivan to dare to bring attention to his wife.
Involving a woman in the war, Ivan was really still so bottomless.
He would not let Ivan go, he would make sure Ivan dies!
What was most important now, of course, was another matter.
Stanley thought, took a deep breath, calmed down for the moment, and asked into the phone, "George, can I believe what you're saying?"
Of course George knew that Stanley would doubt his words.
This matter, after all, would have been so sudden that it would have been impossible not to suspect.
If he were Stanley and someone suddenly came out of nowhere and told him that someone was trying to threaten him with his wife, he would definitely have to find out the truth first.
