Saddened, Henry was ready to hang up the phone.
And Ivy was dumbfounded.
She had originally called him a coward, just to provoke him into agreeing to get her out.
But she didn't expect him to admit outright that he was a coward.
He'd rather admit it than save her!
Ivy hated Henry so much that she wanted to just break up with him.
But no, she had to rely on him for now, so it was okay for her to scold him and yell at him, but definitely not to break with him.
Ivy took a deep breath, suppressing the violence inside her and forcing out a pitiful look, "Henry, are you really so cruel as to leave me alone?"
Listening to Ivy's voice soften again, Henry sighed, "Ivy, I can't manage it, do you understand?"
"I don't understand, I'm just a little crazy about love, what's wrong with that? Henry, you have to save me, otherwise I'll go crazy if I'm kept locked up. I feel like I'm in a trance myself right now, Henry, please, save me." Ivy sobbed and her tone was filled with pleading.
Henry was a soft-hearted person, and hearing that, he felt sorry, "How can I save you? You made a mistake ......"
"I know I've made mistakes, I will correct it, but I don't want to be locked up here all the time. I want to get out, Henry, please, or I'll really go crazy and die." Ivy said in a harsh desperate voice.
"But ......" Henry was still hesitant.
Ivy's face was cold, "If you don't want to see my corpse, you better say yes, you know, for someone who wants to die, there are a thousand ways to die."
Henry was stunned, then he laughed out loud to himself, "Maybe I owe you in my last life, well, I'll save you."
Ivy smiled, "Henry, I know you are the best to me, thank you."
Henry tugged at the corners of his mouth, not speaking anymore.
Ivy didn't care, and hung up the phone after getting his permission.
Looking at the phone screen, Henry felt nothing but exhaustion, and his brain was fuming with pain at the moment, for he had been operating for more than ten hours.
In fact, he knew that Ivy didn't want to die at all, but suicide was still something she could do.
He was afraid that if she killed herself, he could not be there in time to save her.
So, he agreed to get her out.
He hoped that when Ivy got out, she really would correct herself like she said and would not do anything stupid again.
If she did, he'd pay for it with his own life, as the price he paid for letting her out.
Thinking, Henry sighed, got up and walked over to the medicine cabinet, opened the door, and took out a bottle of ether.
Abroad, Violet already knew the news of Sam's arrest from Stanley, and she was sincerely happy for Stanley.
After all, he could avenge his parents.
She just didn't know if Ivan would show up.
She believed Ivan should have known by this time that Sam had been arrested and that Stanley had found the will.
Maybe, Ivan would show up.
Not for Sam, but only for the transfer of shares in the will.
It was really surprising that Stanley's mother gave her company that to Ivan, instead of giving it to her own son, Stanley.
She was as eager to know the answer as Stanley.
