Stanley knew that she was blaming him.
Blame his poor care of the two kids, blame his poor custody of Ivy, and that was why he let Ivy hurt the two kids.
"It's not daddy, Mommy, it's not daddy's fault." Before Stanley could answer, Calvin had already spoken up for Stanley.
Stanley glanced down at Calvin on the couch.
Good boy, worthy of Daddy’s love.
"Not Daddy?" Violet frowned.
Calvin nodded repeatedly, "Dad didn't let Ivy out, the one who let Ivy out was Uncle Henry."
"Uncle Henry?" Violet looked to Stanley.
Stanley nodded, "It's him, I didn't expect him to be a dumbass who loves Ivy so much that he doesn't even have a brain."
At first, he had agreed to Henry going to see Ivy for half an hour every day because of their friendship, but he hadn't expected that Henry would be convinced to let Ivy go in just a few short days.
What was ridiculous was that Henry, being a doctor, believed that someone who was born without empathy would go out and correct her behavior and not do anything to hurt people again.
Violet clenched her fists, "It's actually him!"
"Daddy beat up Uncle Henry." Calvin added.
When Violet heard this, the anger in her heart sort of dissipated a little, "He deserves a beating, but I want to know, what are you going to do about Henry? It's because he let Ivy go that my two kids were injured, so I hope you won't be friends with Henry anymore, or we'll get a divorce."
Hearing the word divorce, Stanley's thin lips pursed, obviously not loving it.
He returned in a deep voice, "I've already cut ties with Henry, as for dealing with Henry, he has many patients booked for surgery under his hand, if I do something to him, it won't be fair to those patients. Wait until we catch Ivy, don't worry, Henry is not Ivy, he knows he's done something wrong and won't run away."
He wasn't lying to her; he'd ended his years of friendship with Henry after learning that Henry had let Ivy go.
Even if Henry had let Ivy go and Ivy hadn't harmed the two kids, he would have cut off the relationship.
Simply because Henry's move to let Ivy go was a betrayal of him, and in his life, what he hated most was betrayal.
Violet nodded, "That's good, but can Ivy be caught?"
She was worried.
The two kids were hurt yesterday, and if he could have caught Ivy, he would have done so yesterday.
But there wasn't a bit of news yet, so she suspected that it would be difficult to catch Ivy in a short time.
Stanley was silent for a few seconds before he spoke, "Yes, she will be caught, for sure."
As long as Ivy was still on this Earth, he could catch her.
It was only a matter of time.
When Violet heard him say that, she nodded and didn't ask any more questions, walking over to the hospital bed and sitting down, looking at her daughter with a sad gaze.
At that moment, Bella came back from buying breakfast, "Mrs. Murphy, you've arrived."
Violet pulled at the corner of her mouth and forced a smile, "Bella."
"Well, Bella, lay out the breakfast first." Stanley said.
Bella answered and went to a small table to distribute breakfast.
Stanley carried Calvin over first, and then walked behind Violet, "Let's eat breakfast first, ok?"
Violet shook her head, "You eat, I don't have an appetite, I'll watch Arya."
Stanley frowned disapprovingly, "I know you're worried about Arya, but don't forget you still have one in your belly, if you don't eat and your body collapses, how will you take care of Arya, how will you take care of the baby in your belly?"
At those words, Violet's mouth opened, but there were no words.
