Of course, it was not that she hoped that he would die in the duel between Mr. Murphy and Ivan, but she did not want him to come back again.
But obviously she could not say that out.
The man would be absolutely furious if she said it.
However, what Jessie did not know was that her thoughts were all written on her face.
George was able to see exactly what she was thinking about at the moment.
But he could accept it.
After all, it was good enough to be like this for not she was so repulsed to him.
"By the way, Dr. Joe, when are you leaving?" Jessie looked at George and asked.
George looked into her glowing eyes and was silent for a moment.
It seemed that she was really desperate for him to leave here. After hearing him say that he was leaving, her mood was obviously much better.
"A few days later." George looked at her coldly and replied with a deep voice.
Jessie shrank her neck and sighed in her heart.
Could he have seen how much she wanted him to leave?
No way, she disguised so well, he should not be able to see it.
Jessie was again panic, calmly nodded, "I know."
George said, "I will come back immediately after I finish my work."
Jessie's body stiffened.
Come back?
Don't, she didn't want him back at all.
But she dared not say so.
Jessie scratched her head, bitter in her heart, but on the surface she still had to maintain a calm face, "Okay, I know."
George could see how reluctant she replied, his thin lips pursed, but finally he did not say anything.
"After I leave, I will contact you." George stood up and said again.
Jessie's eyes widened, "Contact me?"
Why contact her?
George nodded slightly, "Yeah, in order to guard against your family after I left here secretly escape, so I will contact you every day, locate your location, if I fail to contact you, I will immediately rush over, will not help Stanley, but let Stanley die there."
"You ......" Jessie was stunned by his words, "How can you do that?"
"Why can't I?" George pressed closer to her, "Stanley has nothing to do with me, why can't I let him die there?"
"He's Violet's husband." Jessie said.
George spread his hands, "So what, Violet is my friend, Stanley is not."
"But ......"
"No buts!" George narrowed his eyes at her, "Jessie, I can do that."
"You ......"
George put his hand on her head and interrupted her once again, "So be good, stay in the hospital after I leave, otherwise I will come back, in case Stanley is really injured and can't get a good doctor to save him, can you fell at ease in your heart?"
Jessie bit her lip and did not speak anymore.
She did think that after George left, she would join her parents and hurry to leave this place.
But now George said that he would not care about Stanley, leaving her to die.
If Stanley got injured and there was no doctor, then Stanley would certainly be in trouble.
If in the end, Stanley was really gone, she would be sorry for Violet, would live a lifetime of self-blame and guilt.
