Looking at Jessie, who was full of mockery, Violet was also sad.
She hugged Jessie, "Jessie, don't do that."
"Violet, what do you think I've been giving these ten years for?" Jessie looked at Violet, hoping to get an answer.
Violet's lips moved, wanting to say something, but unable to do so.
Jessie covered her face and said with grief, "I always thought that our family was innocent, I even wondered many times if one day if I proved our family's innocence, would George take the initiative to apologize to me, apologize for his indifference to me for so many years, after all, he wronged me, but now it turns out that he didn't wrong me, we really were the murderer who killed his parents, even if it wasn't intentional, but the truth is the truth!"
Violet sighed, "Jessie, the reason why I'm telling you this is because I want you to figure out earlier how to deal with this matter, so Jessie, even if the truth is like this, you still need to learn to face it, and most importantly, are you still going to tell George?"
Jessie looked down at the photo in her hand, "I don't know, I really don't know!"
George now hates her, hates her family, and feels that her family caused his parents' death, but she knows full well that George has no proof that it was really their family that did it.
But if once she told him the truth, he would understand that he had indeed not wronged them, and then, he would only hate them more.
So, she really didn't know what to make of it.
"Violet, will you let me think about it on my own?" Jessie lifted a pair of lost eyes to look at Violet.
Violet o knew she needed to be quiet right now and nodded in agreement, "Okay."
Jessie took a deep breath and walked towards the door with her head down.
Violet watched her back, her heart filled with worry.
At that moment, Stanley came down from upstairs.
Violet looked back at him, "You're here."
"Well, I heard everything you said to Jessie just now." Stanley said with his hand in his pants pocket.
He comes out of the study and is about to go downstairs when he hears her talking about the murderer of George's parents.
Thinking that this was something she wanted to talk to Jessie about alone, he dismissed the idea of going downstairs and stood at the third floor stairway to listen.
Then, that's why he heard.
Violet laughed bitterly, "Honey, between Jessie and George, it's really God's trick."
It was obviously a good deed to bring food and drinks to George's parents, but in the end, it also caused George's parents to expose their whereabouts.
If Jessie's parents found out, they'd be devastated too.
Because no one can accept that they've accidentally harmed their best friend.
Stanley came to Violet and gently hugged her, "Alright, don't think too much about this matter, let them handle it themselves. Don't get involved, you've already told them the truth, that's enough."
"I know, I won't get involved in it, I'm just worried about Jessie." Violet said with a worried face.
Stanley stroked her hair, "Then keep a good eye on her during this time, don't let her do anything stupid."
"I know, that's what I thought." Violet nodded, and then asked, "By the way, where's Calvin?"
"He is in room and play with Arya." Stanley said as he pulled her to sit down.
Violet gave a nod, indicating that she knew.
Suddenly, the phone rang.
He took out his phone and looked at it, seeing the caller ID and frowning, clearly displeased with the caller.
Violet glanced over curiously and saw that it was Henry and couldn't help but raise her eyebrows, "It's Dr. Baxter, I guess he knows you're back."
Stanley was noncommittal, "There are quite a few people living in this villa area, the commotion of my return wasn't small, so it's not surprising that Henry would know so quickly."
"So you'll take it?" Violet looked at her.
Stanley pursed his thin lips and still answered, "What is it?"
Together, these crimes are outrageous, so evil, how dare he let her out?
If she was released, who knows what other crazy things Ivy might do?
"Oh?" Hearing Henry say that he wouldn't let Ivy go, Stanley raised his eyebrows, "Are you sure you won't save her? Don't you love her the most? You know, now that Ivy has fallen into my hands, she definitely won't end up well, maybe she'll be killed by me, and you won't save her even then?"
How did Henry not know that Stanley was testing him and irritating him, he smiled bitterly, "Yes, I will not save her. Admittedly, I do not want Ivy to die, but I also know that to let Ivy live any longer would be an injustice to your parents, and perhaps this would be a relief for her."
Stanley narrowed his eyes, wondering if what Henry said was true or not.
But it didn't matter, whether it was true or not, Ivy couldn't escape.
"You can see Ivy if you want, I'll let you know tomorrow night." Stanley said coldly.
Henry saw him agree and thanked him gratefully, "Good, thank you, Stanley."
Stanley didn't say anything and simply hung up the phone.
Violet looked at him, "Dr. Baxter wants to see Ivy?"
"Yes, it says there are some questions for Ivy." Stanley put down his phone and replied.
Violet smiled, "He's the one to ask about it."
"You know what he's going to ask?" Stanley asked.
Violet answered, "Pretty much, it's nothing more than a relationship thing, well, enough about him, let's go upstairs and see what the kids are up to."
"Okay." Stanley took her hand and got up to walk upstairs.
Meanwhile, on the other side, the third hospital.
Jessie looked at this hospital, her palms squeezed, and finally took a deep breath and plucked up the courage to go in.
