Ivy was silent for a few seconds, and then replied with an expressionless face, "No, your feelings have never been in my consideration."
Even though he had been prepared, when he heard her answer, Henry felt as if his heart had been struck with a sword. It was so painful that he couldn't breathe, and his face grew paler and paler, finally he let out a sad, low laugh, "Good, Ivy, you're really heartless."
Ivy bit her lip, "I'm sorry, actually we shouldn't have been together from the beginning. You knew who I loved, but you still confessed your love to me, so you deserve it to be hurt by me."
Henry laughed even louder and more sadly, his eyes gradually glowing red and wet, "Good, good, I deserve it, yes, it was me who confessed my love to you, but why did you say yes if you didn't love me?"
Ivy lowered her eyes and didn't answer.
Why?
It was to lower Stanley and Violet's guard.
Violet always minded that she was close to Stanley and told Stanley to stay away from her, and Stanley did what Violet said, so she had to get a boyfriend and make Violet and Stanley think she had given up on Stanley.
It just so happened that at that time Henry came to her door, so she agreed to be with him.
Seeing that Ivy didn't answer, the self-deprecation in Henry's heart grew thicker and thicker.
He took off his glasses and wiped his eyes, "Ivy, you know, I really love you. I know you're not a kind person, but I still love you, I did not expect you to be heartless to me."
"...... I'm sorry." Ivy felt a little bad inside.
It was true that she didn't love him, but he was at least her friend.
So she was sorry for him, but there was nothing else she could do but apologize.
"You don't have to say sorry, I agree to break up, Ivy, we're done here!"
After saying that, Henry hung up the phone.
Ivy looked at her phone and inexplicably had an empty feeling in her heart, as if she had lost something very important, causing her to feel a sudden panic.
But soon, she adjusted herself again, her face becoming determined.
She was right. Everything she did was for herself, so there was absolutely nothing wrong with that.
Henry finished his phone call and returned to Fraser and Jessie in a despondent mood.
Jessie felt sympathy for him, "Dr. Baxter, are you alright?"
As if he hadn't heard, Henry sat down in his chairs and scowled.
Jessie shrugged her shoulders.
Since he didn't want to talk to her, she didn't say anything more.
Soon, Stanley's examination was over and the doctor came out.
Fraser immediately stopped him, "Doctor, how is Mr. Murphy?"
Jessie also stood aside and watched the doctor.
Even Henry, who was drowning in the pain of the breakup, lifted his head.
The doctor took off his mask, "He is ok, but he took too much ether. We've injected him with a wake-up drug, and he will wake up soon."
"Great." Fraser breathed a huge sigh of relief.
Jessie smiled, "I'll tell Violet the good news."
Hearing that, Fraser remembered that he hadn't asked about Violet yet.
So, he opened his mouth "Miss Robinson, is Mrs. Murphy all right?"
Jessie rolled her eyes, "When Violet saw the photo, she was angry and had an adnominal pain. If it wasn't for Linda, maybe she would have had miscarriage."
Upon hearing that, Fraser drew a breath of cold air, realizing that things were more serious than he had imagined.
"So is the baby okay?" Fraser asked again.
