Violet was surprised why Ivan was there though he had appeared so promptly to save her.
But she didn’t bother to think about it, and with an anxious face, she shouted to Stanley, "Be careful!"
A man was raising his fist and swinging it towards Ivan's head with a scowl.
If Ivan was got punched, he would definitely pass out on the spot.
So Violet immediately reminded him.
Ivan reacted quickly, dodging the man's fist with a crouch, and then followed up with a leg outstretched
and swept forward with a sweeping kick, tripping the man who had swung his fist to the ground.
The man knocked his head on the ground, unable to get up again from the pain.
Seeing this, the other man cursed before punching his fist at Ivan.
Ivan was running out of ways to deal with it.
He had just been hit in the stomach, which was churning with pain at the moment, plus he had just beat
one person and used all his strength.
So now, he couldn't even hide from it.
Seeing that Ivan was about to be hit, Violet's heart tightened as she glanced at a stone on the ground
out of the corner of her eye.
She bit her lower lip and settled before picking up the stone and smashing it at the man.
There was a thud.
The man's head was smashed and he collapsed on the spot.
Violet didn't stop there, taking a few steps forward to pick up the stone, and then twisting her head to
look at the man who had been knocked to the ground by Ivan, taking a deep breath before slamming it
again.
The man was dizzy, too.
Ivan was surprised by Violet's bravery, as well as decisiveness.
Sure enough, she was a woman he fell in love with.
Ivan hooked his lips and let out a low laugh.
When Violet heard it, she twisted her head, and as she was about to say something, her legs went
weak and her body fell towards the ground.
When Ivan saw this, his face changed, and he couldn't care about his very sore stomach, but got up to
catch her, "What's wrong with you?"
Violet blinked, and without answering, her head tilted and she passed out.
Ivan's brow furrowed as he picked her up by the waist, walked quickly towards his car and put her in it,
then called his assistant to come over and deal with the two men, while he himself took Violet to the
hospital.
Half an hour later in the ward.
Ivan turned to the doctor and asked, "Is she okay?"
"Yes, but she is pregnant and anemic, plus a severe shock and some elevated adrenal hormones,
that's why she passed out. She’ll be fine when she wakes up." The doctor replied.
While Ivan sighed in relief, his heart couldn't help but sink.
Pregnant!
So, she was pregnant with Stanley's baby?
Ivan's gaze fell on Violet's stomach, his eyes narrowing dangerously.
There was no bulge there yet, but it already felt like an eyesore to him.
"Doctor, can you take it out?" Ivan suddenly said.
The doctor froze, "Sir, you don't want the baby in your wife's belly?"
Ivan nodded, "My wife and I aren't ready to have a child right now, but this one came so suddenly, so
......"
The doctor understood and pondered for a few seconds before answering, "The child in your wife's
belly is less than two months old now and can be removed, but you should discuss with your wife first."
"No need, as I just said, we're not planning on having a baby right now, so doctor, please ......"
At this hour, Violet suddenly hummed, her eyelashes fluttered, and she was about to wake up.
A dark light flashed in Ivan's eyes, and he smiled at the doctor, "My wife is about to wake up, so you
should go out first."
"Okay." The doctor nodded and turned to go out.
No sooner had he went out than Violet woke up.
Violet rubbed her temples and opened her eyes, only to see a clean white ceiling.
At that moment, a concerned greeting came from overhead, "You are up."
Violet turned her head and met a familiar handsome face.
Ivan.
Violet instantly pursed up her red lips, a wary look in her eyes.
Ivan saw it, his eyes darkened slightly, and soon he smiled again, "What, afraid of me?"
Violet didn't answer, propping herself up, moving to the other side and pulling away from him.
"Director Murphy, you brought me to the hospital?" She asked.
Ivan pulled a chair over and sat down, "Yeah, you fainted."
Violet bit her lower lip, "Thank you, and, thank you for saving me then."
Although, she hated and feared this man.
But she could not deny that if he had not appeared in time at that time, she would have ......
Shivering, Violet didn't dare to think about it anymore, subconsciously hugging herself tighter.
Ivan handed her a cup of hot water, "Drink some water."
Violet looked at the steaming water and hesitated to take it.
Ivan laughed, "What, afraid I'll poison you?"
Violet looked up at him as an acquiescence.
Ivan wasn't angry, his smile grew bigger, "Don't worry, I won’t poison you, if I really want to harm you, I
wouldn't have saved you, let alone sent you to the hospital. Take it."
Upon hearing this, Violet bit her lower lip before taking the water over, "Thank you."
"It is ok." Ivan waved his hand.
Violet took a sip of water, and the warm water flowed down her throat and into her stomach, quickly
chasing away the chill that had gathered in her body from fear, making her pale face gradually recover.
Stanley propped his head up and looked at her with a grin.
Violet was uncomfortable by his look and shrank her neck, changing the subject, "By the way, how
come you are in this country?"
"I have something to deal with." Ivan replied, clearly not wanting to be specific.
Violet understood and didn't ask any more questions.
In the sickroom, silence fell again.
After a while, there was a knock on the ward door.
Ivan turned her head, "Come in."
The door was pushed open and a man walked in, "Director Murphy, those two men have been taken
care of."
Hearing these words, Violet's hand holding the cup suddenly tightened.
Ivan saw it, "How did you take care of them?"
"Those two men are repeat offenders, usually people don't dare to mess with them, so no one has
called the police, and the police did not take, so I sent them directly to the police station and donated a
batch of police supplies, and managed to get the police to promise to keep them locked up until they
die." His assistant returned.
That was the unspoken rule on the Western Police.
As long as no one called the police, they didn't necessarily care even if someone robbed things in front
of them.
But if they got favors, they would gladly punish the prisoner under the most severe penalties.
"Satisfied with the result?" Ivan looked at Violet.
Violet nodded, "Yes, thank you, Director Murphy."
"Then how are you going to thank me?" Ivan suddenly came closer to her.
Violet leaned back subconsciously, her brow furrowed.
How to thank him?
She would indeed repay the favor, but she dared not let him make any more demands.
What happened last time was something she couldn't forget now.
"I'll treat you to dinner." Violet replied.
She didn't know how to thank him other than by treating him to dinner.
She thought Ivan would not agree and would offer what he wanted.
Yet to her surprise, he actually agreed to it.
Violet couldn't help but feel surprised.
"What? Surprised?" Ivan asked with a smile.
"What? Surprised?" Ivan asked with a smile.
