On the other end of the phone, Jessie's mother was crying, and after hearing Violet's words, she knew that if she went on like this, she wouldn't be able to speak clearly, so she hurriedly adjusted her emotions and breathing.
After a few seconds, Jessie's mother barely found some sense, "Jessie cut her wrists and killed herself."
"What?" Violet jerked to her feet at those words.
Because she was standing so fast, the coffee on the table was accidentally knocked over, and it spilled out and ran all over the table, wetting and contaminating some of the designs on the table.
But Violet couldn't care about that, her hands gripped the phone and her voice trembled as she confirmed, "Jessie committed suicide?"
"Yes." Jessie's mother nodded her head in painful sadness.
Violet felt some blackness in front of her eyes, and her body swayed, almost falling to the ground.
It was a good thing she finally reacted in time and grabbed the desk with one hand to keep herself from falling over.
"How could this happen ......" Violet's face turned white and her eyes lost their sparkle, "Why did Jessie commit suicide?"
"I don't know." Jessie's mother sobbed, "She was fine in the morning, and after breakfast, Jessie was laughing and sending me and her father out shopping, but by the time her father and I suddenly remembered that we still had something missing and turned back to get it, we found Jessie cut her wrists in the bathroom."
Violet's chest rose and fell violently, and she could not calm down for a long time, "Then has Jessie now ......"
She didn't go on with the latter words, but the meaning was understood by Jessie's mother.
Violet was asking if Jessie was now dead.
Jessie's mother hurriedly wiped her tears and shook her head, "No no, Jessie is still alive, her father and I went back in time, so we found it early and hurriedly called the hospital and had the ambulance take Jessie to the hospital, so now Jessie has been resuscitated, but she hasn't woken up yet."
Hearing this, Violet breathed a huge sigh of relief, "That's good, that's good."
She tapped her chest.
She was really worried that Jessie would just be gone.
But it remained a mystery as to why exactly Jessie committed suicide.
"Are you guys in the hospital in Sea City now?" Violet asked.
Jessie's mother nodded, "Yes."
"Okay then, I'll be right over." After Violet finished speaking, she cut the phone off, then picked up her bag and walked towards the outside of the office.
Walking out of the office, she waved to the assistant, "Judy."
"Miss Hunt." When the assistant saw Violet call herself, she hurriedly put down what she was holding to make copies and walked over, "What's the matter, Miss Hunt?"
Violet pointed to her office, "I spilled my coffee, you go in and clean it up, and you take care of the company for the next two days, I might have to have a business trip."
The matter of Jessie's suicide couldn't be publicized, or else the company would surely wear a buzz with all kinds of rumors.
Judy was surprised to hear that for Violet had just returned back.
But still, without asking more questions, she nodded and agreed, "I know, Miss Hunt."
Violet took her bag and walked out of the office.
In the elevator, Violet closed her eyes and rubbed her swollen temples with a very heavy heart.
How could she not have expected that she had only returned from the sea city yesterday, and today she heard the news of Jessie's suicide.
She probably understood what Jessie was going to do, which was to kill herself.
That was why Jessie didn't tell her, or she would have stopped it if she was told.
That was suicide!
She didn't know exactly why Jessie had committed suicide, but she knew that the reason for Jessie's suicide was definitely related to George.
Because Detective Chambers had said that Jessie's entire state was only wrong after she had seen George come out from the third hospital.
