Violet lowered her head and rubbed her eyes, "It's dry and itchy. Maybe because of the smoke."
When the beam fell, her eyes smarted from the smoke. Since then, she felt her eyes uncomfortable.
However, because there were too many things to deal with, she didn’t pay attention to it and endured it till now.
"Let me see." George stretched out his hand.
George was a doctor, so Violet leaned over.
George opened her eyes to look, and said in a deep voice, "The whites of the eyes are a little yellow, with bloodshot eyes at the bottom. It should have been smoked out of inflammation. You really need to go to see the doctor. Otherwise, it is easy to be infected into keratitis. "
"So serious?" Violet was taken aback by his words.
George let go of her, "Yeah. Go to check and come back early."
"Well, please help me take care of Calvin and Arya." Violet nodded, then told Calvin and Arya. After that, she walked out of the ward to the ophthalmology department.
Because it was night and there were no people in the ophthalmology department, Violet went to see the doctor directly.
After the doctor's examination, as George said, the eyes were inflamed. Several eye drops were needed.
After Violet dripped the eye drops, she was ready to return to the ward with the small bag containing the eye drops.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she left the door of the ophthalmology department, she met Stanley and Ivy.
Stanley helped Ivy to walk towards this side. As approaching, the two of them also saw Violet. They were slightly surprised.
"Miss Hunt, what a coincidence!" Ivy stopped and greeted Violet with a smile first.
Although Stanley didn't speak, he kept his eyes on Violet. Especially when he saw her red and wet eyes and the bag she was holding in her hand, his heart sank and he frowned.
What happened to her eyes?
Violet wanted to pretend that she didn't see them, and left directly from them.
But unexpectedly, she was stopped by Ivy. So she had to stop and smiled back at Ivy, "It's a coincidence. Miss Ellis, Mr. Murphy, good evening."
It was strange that during the day Stanley said something happened to Ivy.
But Ivy looked well!
"Good evening." Ivy didn't know what Violet was thinking. She nodded, and then asked curiously, "Why is Miss Hunt still in the hospital at night? Were you coming to see Dr. Joe?"
"Yes, I came to see George." Violet replied with a smile, trying to focus only on Ivy and not the man next to Ivy.
However, her deliberate indifference was caught by Stanley. He was a little unhappy.
Ivy noticed it. Her eyes were cold, but she still had the gentle smile on her face, "The friendship between Miss Hunt and Dr. Joe is really enviable. What do you think, Stanley?"
She looked at the man beside her.
The man did not look back at her. His deep gaze was fixed on Violet, "What's wrong with your eyes?"
Violet pretended not to hear him, and said goodbye to Ivy, "It's getting late. Miss Ellis, I should go."
With that, she was about to walk past them.
But at the moment Violet passed by Stanley, she was grabbed by Stanley. He pulled her back by her arm. Staring at her coldly, he asked in a sullen tone, "What happened to your eyes?"
This woman really stayed far away from him thoroughly!
After hearing Stanley’s questioning, Ivy finally reacted. Violet came out of the ophthalmology department. Ivy quickly looked at Violet’s eyes and found that her eyes were red. The smile she had always maintained on her face disappeared.
