Chapter 56 Earthquake
She did not to tell others about her size.
Was it possible that he visually observed it?
Thinking about it this way, Violet's face was more blushed. A subtle emotion arose in her heart. After all, her physical data was known by a man, which was somewhat embarrassing.
But she didn't think about it. Seeing that time was running out, she quickly put down her dress and went to the bathroom to take a shower, preparing to attend the evening party.
When she finished the shower and put on her makeup, it was already dark.
Violet picked up the handbag, went out of the suite on high heels, and walked to Stanley's suite. When she raised her hand to knock on the door, the door was suddenly opened.
Stanley appeared in front of her in a suit that was more formal than usual.
"Mr. Murphy." Violet greeted him.
Stanley looked at Violet who put on exquisite makeup. After a stunning light flashed under his eyes, his eyes darkened, "The clothes match you very well!"
Hearing his praise, Violet was flattered and a little embarrassed. But she smiled uncontrollably, feeling so sweet, "Really?"
"Yeah." Stanley nodded lightly.
When choosing a dress, he picked this one at a glance, and thought it suit her well.
Now he found that his choice was right.
Violet touched her earlobe, "Mr. Murphy, you’re very handsome tonight!"
She didn’t flatter him. He was already very good-looking. After a little dressing up, he was even more handsome and incomparable, and his temperament was all impeccable.
When Calvin grew up, he was almost like this.
Thinking about it, Violet couldn't help showing an expectant smile on her face.
Stanley was still happy because of her words, but when he saw the smile on her face and the look in her eyes, his face suddenly became cold.
Who was she looking at through him?
Ivan?
Feeling that there was something wrong with Stanley, Violet regained her senses and asked, "Mr. Murphy, what's the matter with you?"
"I'm fine." Stanley walked past her coldly to the elevator.
Violet looked at Stanley’s back and tilted her head with a confused look.
Why was he angry?
She didn't seem to mess with him, right?
Violet couldn’t understand. She sighed helplessly, and trotted to catch up with him.
The party was held in the fashion hall. Not only the famous fashion commenters, but also many designers came.
Some designers had brought their own design works and were showing them at the party.
Violet looked at the design drawings enviously, and couldn't help muttering, "If I knew it early, I would bring some works here too."
When Stanley heard this, he looked at her sideways, "The big show of ‘Born of Fire’ is the stage where you become famous. This place is too small and there is no need."
"Mr. Murphy, are you so confident in me?" Violet raised her eyebrows in surprise.
"I have confidence in your design." Stanley took two glasses of red wine from the waiter's tray, and handed one of them to her, "Let's go. Invite the commenters."
"Yeah." Violet nodded, held her arm, and walked with him among the commenters.
After walking around, they invited more than a dozen commenters who were well-known internationally.
This number had far exceeded the number of commenters required for general big shows.
Therefore, in the following time, they did not continue to invite, but prepared to go to the rest area to rest with their wine glasses.
But at this moment, the ground shook violently.
Violet couldn't stand still in high heels. She was about to fall to the ground.
Stanley's eyes condensed. Without thinking, he threw away the wine glass in his hand, reached out to grab her wrist, and pulled her into his arms with force.
"What happened? The earthquake?" Violet’s face turned pale with fright as she watched the swaying seats around and heard the various screams, falling and breaking sounds.
Although Stanley wasn’t like Violet, his face was tense, "Well, this country is already in an earthquake zone, and there are frequent earthquakes, but I didn't expect that we encounter it as soon as we came."
"Then what shall we do now? The house will not collapse, will it?" Violet's voice trembled.
She had never seen such a situation before, so she was a little scared for a while.
"The structure of the house is very strong and won't collapse. Just wait for the shock to pass!" Stanley put his arm around her waist with one hand, and the other hand supported the table on the side, leading her to stand still.
When he said this, his tone was very calm, as if the earthquake was just a trivial matter. Inexplicably, Violet's inner fear faded a lot.
She leaned quietly in his arms, smelling the mint fragrance from him. She couldn't help closing her eyes.
She had been thinking before why she felt familiar with the smell of him.
It turned out to be because she smelled it that night five years ago.
The earthquake was still going on. No one knew when it would stop.
Stanley frowned and looked around, trying to find a road to take Violet out of here.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a cracking sound above his head.
Stanley looked up and saw that the pillar with a huge crystal lamp hanging on the ceiling had been shaken away by the earthquake, and only a few thin wires were supporting it.
Those wires were stretched very straightly. Obviously, they were impossible to support such a large and heavy crystal lamp all the time.
Sure enough, the next moment, the wires snapped and disconnected. The huge crystal lamp fell.
Stanley was so shocked suddenly, and then immediately pushed Violet out.
Before Violet didn't know what was going on, she fell to the ground not far away. She gasped in pain. This belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.
However, because Stanley pushed her away, he missed the time to escape. He was hit by a crystal lamp.
This scene made Violet frightened and stupefied. Her mind went blank. It took a long time for him to come senses. He hurriedly climbed to Stanley's side and shouted with red eyes, "Mr. Murphy, Mr. Murphy?"
Stanley didn't respond. He was pressed under the crystal lamp. His eyes closed tightly. His face was pale. He was trembling unceasingly. Obviously, he got hurt very badly.
Violet quickly took off her high heels and stood up, went to lift the crystal lamp on his back, and wanted to rescue him.
But the crystal lamp was so big that she couldn't lift it at all. Instead, her palms got hurt.
She was so anxious that she cried, "Mr. Murphy, hold on, I'll call someone to save you!"
With that said, she let go of the crystal lamp and was about to call someone.
But at the moment she turned around, Stanley suddenly vomited blood and passed out.
By the time he woke up, it was already two days later.
Looking at the white room, he already knew where he was now. He wanted to support himself, trying to sit up. But as soon as he made a move, his wounds hurt badly. Then he groaned in pain.
After Violet heard this, she was happy. Then she quickly put down the water bottle in her hand and went to the hospital bed, "Mr. Murphy, you are awake."
Fraser, who was on the balcony, hung up the phone and came in. He shouted excitedly, "Mr. Murphy."
Stanley turned his neck and looked at the two of them. His voice was a little weak, "What's wrong with me?"
As soon as Violet wanted to say something, Fraser took the lead, "Your back was severely injured and your internal organs also got hurt. In addition, your two ribs were broken. One of them almost got stuck in the heart!”
Having said that, he turned his head and glared at Violet angrily.
Violet also knew that Stanley was hurt so badly to save her. She lowered her head in shame, "I'm sorry, Mr. Murphy..."
"What's the use of saying sorry now?" Fraser coldly scolded, "Don't call the doctor over?"
"Well, I'll go right away!" Violet quickly left the ward.
After she left, Fraser picked up a cotton swab and moistened Stanley's lips while complaining, "Mr. Murphy, she is Ivan's woman. What did you do to save her? Do you know you almost died!"
