Chapter 110
Wendy lifted her gaze to Stanley . “ No , I’m leaving tonight .
She tried to pull her wrist free from his firm grip , but Stanley’s grip held fast . His strength was unyielding , making it impossible for her to move . He parted his lips , his voice as calm as ever .
“ Tomorrow , go to Clavendale University to register . ”
Wendy froze . “ Why ? ”
“ I’m sending you there to study . Everything’s been arranged , and you’ll be studying medicine there . ”
Wendy was speechless .
He was really sending her to Clavendale University to study medicine ? Had he even thought about what he was saying ? Was he serious ?
“ I’m not going ! ” Wendy snapped , refusing immediately .
Stanley frowned , his brows drawing together in a handsome line . “ Wendy , Clavendale University is one of the best in the country . It’s not easy to get in . This is a rare opportunity . I know you stopped studying at 16 , but now I’m offering you a chance . Aren’t you interested in medicine ? If you study hard , one day you can shine just like Jessica does on her stage . ”
Wendy stood still , too stunned to respond at first .
He really did think so little of her !
She was furious beyond words .
Still , she clenched her teeth and held back her frustration . “ Fine . I’ll go . ”
With that , she yanked her wrist free from his grasp and stormed out of the room .
Wendy entered Glinda’s room , where the old lady was sitting on the bed , working on some needlework . She had reading glasses perched on her nose as she knitted a sweater .
“ Grandma , why aren’t you in bed yet ? ” Wendy walked over to her .
“ Wendy , you’re just in time . I’ve knitted you a little vest . Try it on and see if it fits . ”
Glinda tied off the last thread and carefully draped the vest over Wendy’s shoulders .
“ Oh , Mrs. Glinda , it fits her perfectly , ” Freddy said with a smile .
Standing just outside the door , Stanley heard the laughter coming from within . He looked up to see Wendy wearing a pale yellow sleeveless knitted vest . The small vest clung to her delicate frame , accentuating her slender figure . Her long , jet – black hair flowed smoothly over her shoulders , and her little face , fran by her soft hair , appeared even more angelic .
Glinda had a good eye for color . The soft yellow suited Wendy perfectly .
“ Grandma , I have plenty of clothes . You don’t need to strain your eyes knitting for me . ”
“ I was just thinking that autumn is coming , and the weather is going to get colder , I don’t want you to catch a
cold , so I made this for you to keep you warm . ”

Wendy’s nose suddenly turned pink , a warm feeling spreading through her chest .

Freddy laughed softly . “ Mrs. Wendy , Mrs. Glinda hasn’t done any knitting for years . Not even Mr. Stanley has an item of clothing Mrs. Glinda has made with her own hands ,
Glinda playfully scolded him . “ Stanley has so many people around him . He won’t get cold . But Wendy is different . She’s always by herself . “ .
Wendy had grown up taking care of herself .
Something in Wendy’s heart shifted , softening , as though her most vulnerable place had been gently touched . She reached out , wrapping her arms around Glinda .
Her eyes became misty , a layer of pinkness covering her fair cheeks . She buried her face in Glinda’s warm shoulder and clung to her for a moment , reluctant to let go . ‘ Grandma , thank you . ”
She really wanted to thank Glinda .
She wanted to thank Glinda for the warmth , understanding , and care she had given her .
She was grateful to Glinda for welcoming her into the Hawk family .
The Hawk family estate was the warmest place she had ever known . It was her safe haven , her home .
But it would never truly belong to her .
She couldn’t keep it , no matter how she tried .
She had to leave soon .
