Violet didn't deny it, "Yes."
Ivan seemed to be in a good mood, he laughed out loud.
He uttered, "I'd ask you to thank me with something else, but I know you wouldn't necessarily say yes, so I might as well have dinner with you."
Violet squeezed the corners of her mouth and forced a smile, not speaking.
Ivan stood up, "Alright, take a good rest. I'll go out to run some errands first, I'll see you for dinner."
Violet nodded.
Ivan walked towards the door.
Just as he reached the door, he suddenly thought of something else and turned his head to look at her, "By the way, I heard that Stanley is still looking for me recently, you won't him I am here, will you?"
"No." Violet shook her head and looked at him seriously.
If she hadn't met those two men, or been saved by him, she would have told Stanley.
But he happened to save her, so she wouldn’t do that.
Next time, though, she would tell him.
Ivan smiled lightly, "Good."
With those words, he opened the door and walked out.
Violet was the only one left in the ward.
She leaned back against the pillows as if she had taken off her strength.
Honestly, Ivan was the man she dreaded seeing the most, and being alone with him, she had to bring out almost all of her guard against him.
Otherwise, one mistake could lead her inside a trap.
Luckily, Ivan didn't do anything to her, even if she owed him a favor, he didn't mention conditions for her to repay like he did before.
Had he changed, or was he cooking up some more conspiracy?
Violet lowered her eyes and she couldn't figure it out, so she stopped thinking about it, but the caution in her heart didn't drop.
No matter what, after eating, she hurried away from Ivan, definitely not staying with Ivan for long.
At that moment, her phone suddenly rang.
Violet's thoughts were interrupted and she picked it up to see that Linda was calling.
"Violet, where are you, why aren't you back yet?" A concerned greeting came from Linda over the phone.
Violet smiled, "I'm at the hospital, what's wrong?"
"What, you're in the hospital?" Linda increased her voice.
Violet said yes.
"Violet, what's wrong with you? Why are you in the hospital? Did something happen to your belly? Which hospital are you in? I'm coming over to you." Linda asked as she walked towards the villa's front door.
Violet rubbed her belly.
She did not feel anything wrong, so the baby should be fine in her belly.
"I am fine, you don't need to come over. I just fainted and was sent here." Violet replied simply.
She didn't want to say anything about her encounter, lest Linda worry even more.
In case Linda accidentally told Stanley, or the consequences would be even more serious.
"How could you faint?" Hearing that, Linda knew that Violet was indeed fine.
