Stanley frowned, "Don't say that. It won't happen."
Ivy smiled bitterly, "Stanley, you know my physical condition, Dr. Joe said, even if I recover and leave the hospital, I won't live for ten years!"
After saying this, she turned away lonely.
Stanley pursed his thin lips, finally glanced under the railing, and chased her.
On the first floor, Violet stopped talking to Lily and laughed. Looking up at the railing on the second floor, and seeing that there was no one there, she couldn't help but wonder.
"What's the matter, baby?" Lily saw it and then also looked over, but saw nothing.
Violet shook her head, "Nothing serious. I just felt like someone was looking at me for a moment. Maybe it was my illusion."
"You should feel right." Lily adjusted Violet's hair.
Violet blinked, "Mom, did you see it?"
"No, but my daughter is so beautiful. If no one looks at you, it will be weird." Lily said with a smile.
Violet was amused by Lily, "Mom!"
"Well, well. Did you try all these clothes?" Lily opened the door of the fitting room and took a look.
Violet nodded, "Yeah."
"Then let’s pay for it." Lily waved her hand and said very proudly.
Violet quickly stopped her, "Mom, so many clothes. If you buy them all, it will cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. I am a designer myself. I have so many clothes, so I don't need to buy so many."
"You’re right." Lily touched her chin, feeling reasonable.
Violet chose two or three of them, "Just buy these."
"All right." Lily smiled at the shopping guide.
Soon, the mother and daughter left the clothing store after buying the clothes. Then they went shopping in other places in the mall and took a taxi back.
When they returned to the apartment, it was only two o'clock in the afternoon. There were still two hours before the children finished school.
Violet put down the bag, patted on her shoulder and walked to the kitchen. Then she came out with the kettle, ready to make tea.
At this time, the phone she put in her bag rang.
Violet hurriedly put down the kettle, took out her mobile phone from her bag, and glanced at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar local number. After hesitating for a few seconds, she still answered.
"Hello, is this Miss Hunt?" A gentle and polite female voice came from the other end of the phone.
Violet nodded slightly, "Yeah!"
"I'm the store manager of Vanneca." The female voice replied.
Violet raised her eyebrows.
Vanneca? Wasn't that the clothing store she and Mom went to this morning?
"What's the matter?" Violet sat down on the sofa, putting her mobile phone to her ear and pouring herself a glass of water.
The store manager replied with a smile, "Here is the thing. Today is our store’s event day. As our guest, you won the first prize in our store. Congratulations!"
"Huh?" Violet didn't feel happy at all when she heard that she won the prize. Instead, she frowned. "First prize? But when I was in your store, I didn't see your store doing any activities. I haven't drawn any prizes."
Wasn't this person a liar?
Hearing Violet questioning, the store manager looked back at the man behind her.
The man lifted his delicate and perfect chin slightly. The store manager nodded knowingly, and continued with smile, "That's our hidden event. As for the lottery, it is not the customer draws, but we draw."
"Really?" Violet took a sip of water and understood now, but still felt that something was wrong. However, she couldn't tell where was wrong.
After that, the store manager confirmed the address Lily left in the store and ended the call.
Lily came out of the bathroom with a yawn, "Who is it?"
