Violet was shivering.
Seeing this, Stanley got up and walked to her, holding her into his arms, and gently holding her head to his chest, "Calm down. I will find out that person."
Violet looked up at him. Her pale lips moved, as if she wanted to say something. At this time, the door of the ward was knocked suddenly.
"Who?" Violet quickly pushed Stanley away, came out of his arms, and asked when she looked at the door of the ward.
Stanley saw his empty arms, then his eyes dimmed.
The door of the ward was pushed open. A man in a police uniform came in from outside, "Is that Miss Hunt?"
"It's me." Violet adjusted her mood and nodded.
"I am the policeman at the police station. The special police have left the follow-up investigation of the kidnapping to us, so I am here to tell you some findings." The police officer took the notebook and walked to the bedside.
Stanley looked up at him, "What findings?"
"Just now I came from the ICU. The kidnapper who was still alive has been rescued successfully and has woken up. According to his account, they have two employers. One is Miss Hunt's father, and the other is a woman called E." The police opened the notebook in his hand and replied.
"E?" Violet frowned.
"Yes." The policeman nodded.
Violet looked at Stanley, "It seems that Ms. E is the one I just guessed."
Stanley nodded slightly and asked the policeman, "Is this E the abbreviation of the last name?"
The police shook his head, "We don't know this for the time being, but we will investigate."
Stanley frowned and said nothing.
Violet lowered her head, as if thinking about something.
E! This letter made her think of a person, which was Ivy Ellis. Ivy's last name started with E, which was very consistent.
Was it really possible that it was Ivy? Ivy’s family disappeared. Could she have such a powerful force and did all these without telling Stanley?
Thinking of this, Violet looked at Stanley thoughtfully.
Stanley noticed her eyes, then he asked, "What's the matter?"
Violet opened her mouth several times. But finally, she shook her head, saying that it was nothing.
Forget it!
Ivy was his lover after all. She doubted his lover, which would only make him unhappy.
Seeing that Violet wanted to say something but didn't say it finally, Stanley was a little unhappy, but he didn't force her and then asked, "Did the kidnapper have explained their purpose in kidnapping Violet?"
"Yes, the kidnapper said that Ms. E asked them to throw Miss Hunt... to a poor and backward mountain and sell her, letting she couldn’t come back forever." Speaking of this, the policeman gave Violet a sympathetic look.
Violet squeezed the quilt on her body, her face gloomy.
It was really a vicious way to sell her to the mountains!
She knew that men in the mountains couldn’t marry wives. They all bought wives from outside. After they bought wives, they would lock those women at home and used them as childbirth machines. They were not as good as dogs. That E was to completely destroy her!
Stanley also had the same gloomy expression on his face.
Stanley clenched his fists, "E..."
He read the letter coldly, with a strong murderous look in his eyes.
Violet felt it, and looked at him in surprise.
She didn't understand why he was so angry. This was obviously her business.
Later, after the policeman said some other things, he said goodbye and left.
Violet looked at the time. It was getting dark. She was shocked that she immediately got up from the hospital bed, "OMG! I haven't picked up the kids yet!"
