Violet smiled and replied, "Make some soup for Uncle Murphy. He was injured in order to save Mommy. Mommy has to thank him."
Now that Stanley had returned, she didn’t have to comply what she promised Fraser.
"That's it." Calvin nodded, indicating that he knew it.
Violet touched his little head, "Go to play with your sister. Mommy is cooking."
"Okay." Calvin replied, ran back to the room, and went to find Arya.
Violet watched the two children's rooms shut, and then went to the kitchen with a faint smile. When she just finished the cooking, the doorbell rang suddenly.
Violet wiped her hands on her apron and went to open the door.
George stood outside the door, smiling gently at her, "Violet."
"George, why are you here?" Violet opened her mouth in surprise when she saw him.
George took out his phone and shook it, "You forgot? We only talked on the phone a few days ago, and I said I would come back."
"I didn't forget. But you didn't say it was today. Why didn't you tell me to pick you up?" Violet released the doorknob and took out a pair of slippers to him.
After George came in, he closed the door and replied while changing his shoes, "I wanted to give you a surprise. By the way, they are gifts for Calvin and Arya."
With that, he passed the two bags in his hand.
Violet reached out to take them, "Thank you."
"Never mind." George waved his hand, then looked around in the living room, "Where are the two children?"
"They're in the room." Violet put down the bags and beckoned him to sit, "I'm going to tell them to come out. It just happens to be going to eat soon."
"I'll go." George didn't take a seat. He walked toward the children's room.
Seeing this, Violet felt that this was fine, so she went back to the kitchen and took out the dishes one after another.
After the meal, the two children went to take a shower. Violet and George were washing dishes in the kitchen.
George looked at the thermos barrel beside the sink, "This is..."
Violet handed him a clean bowl, "In it is the big bone soup I cooked for Mr. Murphy."
"For him?" George's action of wiping the bowl paused insignificantly. A dark light flashed across his eyes behind the glasses.
Violet didn't notice it. She handed him another clean bowl, "Yeah."
The gentle smile on George's face faded, "I heard that Mr. Murphy was injured. Then you made soup for him. Do you care about him so much?"
Violet was a little panicked and she almost threw the bowl out. She lowered her eyelids, and replied with some guilty conscience, "I don't care about him. I did this for a reason."
George knew she was lying.
George understood that she might have feelings for Stanley. He suddenly felt panic. Even the face that had always been smiling amiably showed a tense look.
But soon, everything disappeared. It restored as usual, as if what happened just now was just an illusion.
"Really?" George responded with a fake smile, and then asked lightly, "Violet, do you know who I am going to perform the operation on this time?"
"I know. It's an acquaintance of Dr. Baxter and Mr. Murphy." Violet said after finishing washing the last bowl.
George took the bowl and wiped it slowly in his hand, "You are not right. Their relationship is closer than acquaintances. Her name is Ivy Ellis, a daughter of the Ellis Group. She had a car accident ten years ago. In that car accident, she has been in poor health, but seven years ago, she suddenly became a vegetable."
"So it was her!" Violet also remembered something when she heard his introduction.
the Ellis Group was one of the well-known companies in J City. But it went bankrupt ten years ago. Chairman Ellis and his wife passed away, leaving their only daughter.
It was just that the daughter disappeared after the funeral of Chairman Ellis and his wife. Violet did not expect that Ivy would become a vegetable.
"Miss Ellis and Mr. Murphy have always been childhood sweethearts. They have had a very good relationship since childhood. If it hadn't been for the car accident, they would have been married long ago." George focused on Violet from the corner of his eyes.
Violet was shocked, "Married?"
