Violet learns that Victor has gone to see Emily, his niece, who is hospitalized at a nearby hospital. Violet had planned to see Victor, but seeing Emily wouldn't have been a bad idea. That's why Violet doesn't come empty-handed.After asking the receptionist and a few nurses she met, Violet finally found Emily's hospital room. It's a VIP room that should provide the best care for a child with a very weak heart like Violet.But just as Violet was about to knock on the door, she was startled by the door opening from the inside, revealing Victor's tall figure in front of her. "You startled me!" said Violet in an irritated tone and out of breath. Victor did nothing but stare at her in silence.Violet thought Victor had shown a look of surprise earlier, but maybe it was just his feelings. She decided to duck her head since her tiny body must have been perfectly covered by Victor's. "Good evening, Mr. Grayson," she said, greeting him. Jack seemed surprised by her arrival, but didn't stan
While wondering, Violet was still walking. Her gaze wandered in all directions, her head turning right and left, trying to find her destination which finally appeared to be a small waiting room. Violet pulled herself up to hide behind a wall, she couldn’t be seen by either object and have their important conversation ruined.Therefore, Violet waited while occasionally peeking out, keeping an eye on what was happening far ahead.He looked at Jack who was already crying while still holding Victor’s arm. No matter the angle, it was obvious that he was pleading with Victor, who stood proudly in front of him. Violet grimaced. Victor couldn’t be helped with his coldness, but Violet really didn’t understand. What were they talking about to be in such a situation?“I can’t hear them...,” Violet said, straining her ears as best she could to eavesdrop. But still, she and Victor were quite far apart. She couldn’t hear what the two were saying very well until suddenly, Violet was startled by Vic
Violet looked up at Victor's face, there were no more puddles of tears and he looked better than ever. Violet was grateful, but she didn't know what to do next and realized what she had done.Instead of Violet asking Victor "Are you okay?", this situation would have made more sense if Victor had asked her "What's wrong with you?" What was wrong with Violet... who had been asked to look after Emily and instead ended up running down the hospital corridor and hugging Victor as soon as she saw him."Ah ...." Violet started by mumbling, clearly not knowing where she was going with the conversation."What are you doing here?" Victor asked, breaking the awkward silence that seemed about to swallow Violet whole. Violet was grateful that Victor had asked first ... but not by asking her a question like this. "Weren't you asked to look after Emily? You left her alone?""No!" Violet quickly denied, shaking her head. "There was a nurse here and I needed to go to the bathroom, so I left her wit
Victor still held his position. Petrified silence as he stared straight into Violet’s eyes. Even after so many seconds had passed, Victor still had no reaction to the confession of love that Violet made before his eyes. This made Violet wait anxiously. Victor was far too passive to respond to anything outside of work, but for something as big as this, he could at least say a few words.“You’re not going to say anything?” Violet asked at last. She admitted defeat and decided to speak up first.Victor finally spoke up, though he had to use the bait of being asked first. “What do you want me to say?”“I want you to say ‘I love you’ too.”“I love you.” Violet was petrified, her eyes glued to Victor, who returned her gaze just as intently. Her heart was racing, as if it might explode if it wasn’t stopped immediately. Violet didn’t know what was causing it. Whether it was because it was the first time Violet had ever heard a man say something like that to her, or whether it was because it w
Violet looked into Victor’s eyes. The man who was fiddling with a small spoon to stir his late tea asked without looking Violet in the eye. It made Violet feel like she was being judged for a mistake she didn’t know where she stood.Finally, the girl nodded. “He’s your friend.”“He’s not my friend.” Victor denied it outright, making Violet flinch slightly at his answer. “You shouldn’t trust people so easily and treat them so well.”“Miss Maria is very friendly and kind, Victor. I think you understand that more than anyone.” Victor averted his gaze as he sighed, which made Violet look at him quizzically. She didn’t know why Victor was acting this way toward his own childhood friend, especially since he seemed to really like Maria’s existence.But to Victor, Violet was just an innocent girl who could be easily fooled. All it takes is a little warmth and friendliness, and she’ll think the person is nice. Violet had no idea that the Maria she liked was actually standing in a different pl
Violet sighed. She remembered that she had told Alexa earlier. But when they met again, Alexa brought it up again. But it didn't matter if Violet was telling the truth. "I said it."Alexa really didn't expect that. She, and of course Emma, exclaimed loudly and said, "REALLY!?""And I got rejected." Their enthusiastic looks were broken by Violet's shocking revelation."You were rejected?" asked Emma, confirming what she'd heard. Violet's nod gave the answer, which was disappointing. "I saw you two hugging so intimately earlier."Violet averted her gaze as she replied. "Ah... yes, I remember. It was indeed very intimate and close like we weren't given even the thinnest of boundaries. But actually, that man built a boundary as big as the wall of China!""Oh, really? I thought Victor really liked you, Violet." Violet scowled, along with Alexa and Emma. At first, Violet had thought that Alexa and the other women were right. That Victor had taken her because he was in love with her. Bu
"I don't have the courage to meet Victor at his group's headquarters with Emily, whereas wherever I go, I have to take Emily with me. I heard that this place is a place for Little Boy's women, and one of the women in this place is Victor's woman. I thought it would be easier to summon Victor through you." Jack tried to explain the purpose of his visit more clearly. But Violet's expression didn't improve and Jack wondered if she had misunderstood him. "I'm sorry, Miss Violet. But this is an urgent and very important situation. It concerns Emily's safety." After Jack said that, instead of understanding, Violet was even more confused about what Jack meant by 'Emily's safety'. But one thing she did understand, at least what Jack was about to say was not something that could be discussed inside the mansion. "Can we talk outside?" Therefore, Violet offered Jack to talk about it outside. The girl was afraid that there would be important information that a stranger shouldn't hear, so it woul
“For the past six years, I’ve been trying to find a new heart for her. I tried to find a suitable donor but my efforts were always disappointing. It felt like I had been carried high into the sky, and dropped back down as every time I found a donor with the same blood type, it always ended in failure.” “I don’t know what to say. Obviously, I’m very sorry to hear that, Mr. Grayson,” Violet said, finally opening her voice. “You are right, Miss Violet. It is indeed a sad story, made all the sadder when I found out that I couldn’t give Emily my heart.” “You even think that?” “Of course. For parents in my position, self-sacrifice is the first thing that comes to mind. No parent wants to see their child suffer, unless they’re out of their mind.” Jack added a bit of laughter at the end of his sentence, but it couldn’t cover up the fact that he was in great distress. The man’s eyes didn’t move from Emily’s small figure who looked very happy exploring the beauty of the garden. “When I smil
