Chapter 407
Wendy called Stanley out , saying she needed to talk to him privately .
Jessica immediately made a fuss , grabbing onto Stanley’s muscular arm . “ If you have something to say , just say it here ! ”
She wasn’t letting Stanley go .
Wendy looked between the two of them . Now that she was pregnant , why should she bear this burden alone ? She couldn’t let Stanley and Jessica continue their little moment . No , she had to tell Stanley what was going on .
Wendy said firmly , “ Jessica , this is none of your business . can only talk to him about it . Mr. Hawk , I’ll be waiting for you outside . ”
With that , Wendy walked out .
Jessica pulled at Stanley’s arm . “ Stanley , you’re not going anywhere . ”
Stanley pulled his arm away gently . “ I’ll just be a minute . ”
He turned and walked out .
“ Stanley ! ” Jessica shouted after him , her voice filled with frustration .
Stanley steppe
stepped into the hallway , where Wendy was waiting for him .
He walked toward her . “ You wanted to talk ? ”
Wendy looked at him , her expression serious . “ Yes . ”
Stanley nodded . “ Go ahead . ”
Wendy hesitated , unsure of how to start .
Stanley’s brow furrowed . “ What , now you’re not going to say anything ? ”
Wendy finally spoke , her voice calm but inquisitive , “ Mr. Hawk , have you ever thought about becoming a father ? ”
Stanley paused , clearly taken aback by the question . “ Why do you ask that ? ”
Wendy gave a small smile , her eyes twinkling . “ Well , I just noticed that you’re not getting any younger . I was just
curious . ”
Stanley shook his head , his voice cold and distant . “ I haven’t thought about it . I don’t like kids . ”
His tone made it clear he wasn’t interested in having children . It was final .
Wendy wasn’t shocked , though there was a hint of disappointment in her voice as she replied , “ Okay . ”
Stanley looked at her , his gaze intense. “ So , you called me out here just to ask me that ? ”
He glanced up and down her figure , a faint smirk tugging at his lips . “ You’d better not tell me you’re pregnant . ”
“ I’m not ! ” Wendy quickly shook her head , wanting to put an end to that line of questioning
Just then , her phone rang with a soft melody . She pulled it out to see “ Samuel ” flashing on the screen .
Without a second thought , she denied the call .

Stanley raised an eyebrow , the faintest smile curling his lips “ Why didn’t you answer ? Is it not convenient with
me here ? ”
Wendy didn’t respond .
Stanley’s voice turned curious , almost too calm . “ Are you planning to have kids with Samuel
Wendy looked at him with a blank expression . “ I’m not . I’m gonna go
She moved as if to walk away .
But Stanley reached out and grabbed her wrist , holding her in place “ Wendy .. ”
He trailed off , as if he was about to say something , but stopped himself .
Wendy stood still , watching him , waiting for him to continue .
What
was he going to say ? Did he want her to save Jessica ? Did he want her to die so Jessica could live ?
She met his gaze with clear , steady eyes . Stanley didn’t speak .
After a long pause , Wendy decided to take the lead .
“ Is it true that my heart matches Jessica’s perfectly ? ”
Stanley’s tall , imposing frame stiffened , his expression faltering for a moment . “ How do you know about that ? ”
“ Jessica told me just now . ”
Stanley frowned . This was something he hadn’t wanted Jessica to know , but somehow , she had figured it out and told Wendy .
Wendy’s voice grew serious . “ If I save Jessica , I won’t survive . Do you want me to die ? ”
Stanley didn’t answer .
Wendy gave a small , almost sad smile . “ Jessica and I aren’t close . I’m not insane enough to give her my heart . So forget about it – unless you truly want me to die . ”
Stanley’s eyes were filled with conflicting emotions ,
Wendy jerked her arm free from his grasp , turning to leave
Stanley stood there , alone in the hallway for a long while , his mind racing . Then , he slowly made his way back into the hospital room .
“ Are you done talking ? What did Wendy say to you ? ” Jessica asked , eager to know /
