Chapter 692 The Only Friend
At these words, Henry felt that the whole world had become silent, without a sound.
As if he had lost his soul, his expression froze and his grip on the phone, unconsciously loosened, the phone slipped from his palm and fell to the ground with a popping sound.
At this voice, Fraser heard it and hurriedly shouted, "Dr. Baxter? Dr. Baxter?"
Henry did not respond, still standing stiffly, his whole face filled with shock and bewilderment.
Ivy was dead.....
It was only after a long time that Henry reacted to what Fraser had just said, Ivy was dead!
He could not believe Ivy was dead!
Henry's body swayed, and finally, unable to support himself, his knees went weak and he fell straight to the ground with a thud, before clutching his head and shouting heartily, "Ahhhhhh!" He was, obviously, unable to accept the outcome.
Although he knew that Ivy's eventual end would be inevitable, he also hypnotised himself every day to prepare himself mentally.
What he didn't expect, however, was for the day to come so soon that he hadn't forgotten her and wasn't mentally prepared for it. Henry's eyes were filled with tears and his body was trembling.
Seeing him like this, the doctors and nurses not far away rushed over to ask, "Dr. Baxter, what's wrong with you? Is everything alright?"
Henry didn't answer these people's questions, he tremblingly reached out his hand towards the ground and touched the phone, after feeling it, he put it to his ear and asked in a trembling voice, "Fraser, tell me you're lying to me, you're lying to me, right? Ivy is not dead, right?"
Fraser lowered his eyelids and sighed, "I'm sorry, Dr. Baxter, I understand your feelings, but I'm not lying to you, Ivy is really dead, her body has been sent to the third hospital."

Hearing Fraser's words, Henry's heart felt as if it had been viciously grabbed, hurting so badly that he couldn't breathe.
He held the phone in a death grip, "Why? Why so soon? You killed her, didn't you?"
He had always known that Stanley did not intend to hand Ivy over to the police and intended to take his own revenge.
So the likelihood that Stanley killed Ivy is the highest.
Fraser frowned, "You misunderstood us, we did try to kill her, but we really didn't, she killed herself."
"Killed herself?" Henry's pupils suddenly shrank, "How could ...... How could Ivy commit suicide!"
"That's the truth, Ivy really committed suicide, she knew we wouldn't let her go and she knew she was desperate, so she killed herself. Dr. Baxter, you loved her so much, you should know her character, she is proud, conceited, how could she allow herself to be disposed of?" Fraser said.
Henry's mouth dropped open and he was unable to speak.
Because as Fraser said, Ivy is proud and conceited, even if she really has no choice, she will not leave her life to others but will only end it herself.
So Ivy really did commit suicide!
Realizing this, Henry had no more to say and bowed his head deeply so that the expression on his face could not be seen.
His small sobs, however, gave away that he was crying.
Fraser heard it too, and there was nothing he could do but sigh.
He knew why Henry was crying so sadly, after all, his beloved died.
Although Dr. Baxter said at the time that he did not love Ivy anymore and would not see her again, how could Dr. Baxter stop loving so soon after such a short period of time?
That was why the emotions turned to this when he heard that Ivy had died.
Thinking of this, Fraser pushed his glasses and said comfortingly, "Dr. Baxter, I know you're sad, but now that she is dead, you ......"
"Ivy is now in the third hospital, right?" Henry asked, his voice hoarse as he stood up.
Fraser nodded, "Yes, it was sent to the third hospital morgue not long ago."
Henry didn't ask any more questions and hung up the phone straight away, then took off his glasses and wiped his tears as he ran quickly towards the lift, not even changing out of the surgical gown he was wearing before running straight out of the hospital and taking a taxi to the third hospital.
On the other side, Fraser's face wasn't much of a surprise when he realized the phone that had been hung up.
After all, he had guessed such an outcome when Henry asked where Ivy was.
He believed that by this time, Dr. Baxter was on his way to the third hospital.
Fraser sighed, and then told Stanley the news.
Violet was coming out of the shower when she saw Stanley had changed out of the pajamas he was wearing and put on a casual outfit, she couldn't help but freeze for a moment, "Honey, it's so late, are you going out?"
It was almost bedtime now and he had suddenly changed his clothes and she couldn't think of what he was up to other than going out.
Stanley lifted his chin and didn't hide it, "Henry already knows that Ivy is dead, Fraser said Henry is having a bit of an emotional breakdown. Henry has gone to the third hospital to see Ivy's corpse, I'm afraid he'll do something stupid so I'm going to go over and take a look."
Although he had already broken with Henry, he had known him since childhood as a friend in the end.
He couldn't really leave Henry alone.
Violet uttered, "So that's how it is, then I'll go too."
"Just stay at home, it's too cold outside, I'll be back soon." Stanley walked up to her, reached out his hand and gently touched her hair.
Violet looked at him, "Alright then, it's just that you're going alone, what if Dr. Baxter takes a shot at you?"
Ivy was dead, albeit by suicide, but there was no guarantee that Henry would not take his anger out on him.
Stanley narrowed his eyes slightly and gave a cold hum, "Don't worry, he is weak, who can he beat?"
It wasn't that he was arrogant; Henry was half a head shorter and thinner than him and could never have been his match.
What's more, he could fight, and Henry would be even less of a match for him.
Hearing Stanley's words, Violet then remembered that he knew a few moves and couldn't help but smile, "In that case, come back early, I'll wait for you at home."
Stanley nodded, then held the back of her head, kissed her on the lips and went out of the room.
Not long after he left, Bella came up with the milk, "Mrs. Murphy, where is Mr. Murphy going?" "Go get Henry, he's worried that Henry will do something stupid." Violet said as she took the milk. Bella nodded, "So that's it, then it's not surprising, Dr. Baxter is the only friend Mr. Murphy has." "The only friend?" Violet raised her eyebrows, "Didn't Stanley have any friends before?" She expressed curiosity.
She knew that Henry was Stanley's friend, but she hadn't expected that it would be the only one.
After all, everyone has a few friends, and although they will eventually become strangers, they will all have a few at least.
And Stanley actually grew up with only Henry.
"Yes, Mr. Murphy doesn't have any friends other than Dr. Baxter, because Mr. Murphy grew up precocious, coupled with a cold nature and a willingness to excel in grades, and didn't like to play with the young boys of the same age in his circle, but those boys wanted to play with Mr. instead."
Speaking of this, Bella sighed with emotion, "But Mr. Murphy has been cold since he was a child, and those boys didn't dare to approach him. Most importantly, Mr. Murphy is exceptional, and the parents of those boys liked to compare them with Mr. Murphy, so over time, those boys gradually turned away from Mr. Murphy."☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐☐
