Ice and Fire novel Chapter 797

"Well, I see," Violet responded, "I called to thank you for sending me to the hospital that night, even though I lost my baby. I am still in your debt."

Upon hearing this, Francis was overcome with guilt. He thought he was the one who should apologize to her and that he didn't deserve her gratitude.

"I should say sorry to you. If I hadn't asked you to dinner that day, you wouldn't have suffered all of this," Francis blurted out. He had been tormented by guilt these days. He thought that he was the reason for Violet's misery.

"It's not your fault. Even if you were not there, she would have found another chance to hurt me," Violet responded. After thinking about this all these days, she knew that Cassie was the only one to blame.

"Violet," Francis stammered, not knowing what to say.

"Thank you for what you have done for me," Violet said.

Francis felt that something was wrong definitely. 'It's getting late. Why would Violet call me at this hour?' he wondered.

"What's up, Violet? Did anything happen to you?" Francis asked frowning.

'Should I tell him that I am leaving tomorrow?' she hesitated inside.

As Violet didn't reply for a long time, Francis knew that something must have happened to her. He urged, "Tell me, what is it?"

After thinking for a moment, Violet said with earnestness, "Promise me that you won't tell anyone."

"Okay, you have my word. I won't let anyone know," Francis promised seriously.

"I'm going from here tomorrow," Violet began.

"You're going? Where are you going? You're leaving this city?" Francis asked, stupefied in shock. He couldn't think clearly. 'She is leaving?' he repeated to himself inside.

"Yes, I'm going to live with my parents. I can't stay here anymore," Violet replied calmly.

"I can't believe it. Seriously?" Francis said anxiously. After overcoming his feelings, he asked, "What time is your flight?"

"I can't tell you that," Violet answered. Afraid that Francis might break his promise, she reminded, "You promised me that you won't tell anyone. If you do not keep your promise, you will not be my friend anymore."

"Violet, I swear that I won't tell anyone. But tell me what is your flight time, will you?" Francis continued, requesting for an answer. He thought it was his fault too that Violet lost her baby. To make amends, he was thinking of leaving with her and spending his entire life staying by her side. He hated to see her suffer all the pain alone.

"I won't tell you, Francis," Violet replied excitedly. "That's it. I have to go now. Goodbye!"

Violet hung up the phone hurriedly. If they continued to talk, she was afraid that she might disclose her flight information to Francis.

The next day at 4:00 am, Violet and Selina left home for the airport.

Violet looked towards Elsa, Jacob, and Wilson. "Grandma, Grandpa, Uncle, Bye for now!" she said.

"Bye!" the rest answered together.

Watching the car drive away, all of them felt sad.

In the airport lobby, Selina's eyes were already brimming with tears. She looked at the security checkpoint and then towards Violet.

With her ID card and boarding pass in her hands, Violet hugged Selina. "Auntie, I have to leave you for a while. Wait for me. I will be back soon," she sobbed, tears pouring down her cheeks.

"Ummm. Don't forget to call me frequently. I will miss you," Selina said.

"Okay, Auntie, I will. I will give you a video call whenever you are free. That way, I will be able to see your face," Violet replied before letting Selina go. She took a quick look at her watch and found it was almost time for boarding.

"Well, go to the security checkpoint, or you will really miss your flight," Selina said.

"Goodbye, Auntie!" Violet returned, as she waved her hand, turned around and headed for the security checkpoint.

Selina stood still, watching Violet enter the barrier. Then she turned around and left the airport.
