At this moment, Violet couldn't tell what it was like. In short, she was a little uncomfortable. She lowered her eyelids to cover the emotion in her eyes, and then answered the phone.
Just without waiting for her to speak first, Ivy's gentle female voice was already on the phone, "Stanley, didn't you say that you came to the hospital to accompany me today? Why haven't you come yet?"
"Um... Miss Ellis, I'm not Mr. Murphy." Violet tucked the hair around her ears, and said embarrassedly.
On the other end of the phone, Ivy heard it was not Stanley, but a woman. Her smiling face instantly became cold, but her tone of voice was still gentle, "Then, may I ask... ..."
"We met before. I am Violet." Violet answered while sitting on the bed.
Ivy's hand holding the phone tightened. The expression on her face was not only cold, but also a little distorted, "It turned out to be Miss Hunt, but how come you are at Stanley’s home and still pick up Stanley's mobile phone?"
Hearing the faint questioning in Ivy’s voice, Violet gave a wry smile and explained, "It’s like this. Mr. Murphy has a fever because of me, so..."
"So you went to take care of Stanley?" Ivy interrupted Violet with squinting eyes.
"Not really. It's..."
"Well, you don't need to tell me!" Ivy interrupted Violet once again, and her hand on the quilt clenched tightly.
Violet guessed that Ivy must have misunderstood something. Just when she was about to explain again, she found that Ivy had hung up the phone.
"OMG!" Violet patted her forehead, feeling extremely regretful.
She had known that she shouldn't have answered this call for Stanley.
Even if Ivy couldn't contact Stanley, she would only worry for a while and wouldn't misunderstand anything. But now Violet kindly did something bad.
Violet sighed with a headache, and then planned to go downstairs to find Bella, and asked Bella to explain to Ivy. If Bella explained to Ivy, she should be able to listen, right?
Thinking of this, Violet put down the phone. After taking a look at Stanley, she walked out of the room and went downstairs.
Bella was watching TV with Calvin. When she saw Violet coming down, she stood up quickly, "Miss Hunt, did you finish it?"
Violet nodded, "Yeah, Mr. Murphy is much better. His breathing is less rapid."
He even had the strength to hug her.
"That's great." Bella patted her chest with a sigh of relief and smiled.
Violet bit her lower lip.
Seeing that Violet was hesitant to speak, Bella asked kindly, "What's wrong?"
"I did something wrong." Violet clenched her fists and told Bella what she said to Ivy just now.
After listening, Bella smiled, and waved her hand indifferently, "Don't worry about her."
"What?" Violet opened her mouth in surprise, "but she must have misunderstood me and Mr. Murphy..."
"It's okay. Mr. Murphy has nothing to do with her. If she misunderstands it, just forget it." Bella said.
Violet was surprised when she heard this, "Mr. Murphy has nothing to do with Miss Ellis?"
"Yes." Bella nodded.
"But..." Violet was interrupted by the doorbell before she finished speaking.
"Miss Hunt, I have to open the door first." Bella said to her and walked towards the door.
Violet looked at Bella’s back and shook her head helplessly.
It seemed that she couldn’t get anything from Bella. Forget it! She would find a chance later to explain to Ivy in person.
But just now, Bella said that Ivy and Stanley had nothing to do! Could it be because Stanley had just broken off the marriage contract with Phoebe and had not had time to be with Ivy?
Just thinking about it, Violet suddenly felt that someone was pulling the corner of her clothes. So she looked down. It was Calvin.
"Mommy, I want to go to the bathroom." Calvin looked at her and said.
