Stanley nodded .
Yes , he would not waver anymore .
He had to save Jessica , no matter what .
He turned his gaze toward Wendy . “ Just agree to treat Jessica’s heart condition . I don’t want to force you . ”
Wendy’s heart sank completely . Stanley really was standing with Jessica and those murderers .
She scoffed bitterly . “ Let’s see if you have the power to make me ! ”
“ You talk a big game , ” Edith sneered . “ Sure , you’re the wonder doctor , but you can’t take on someone like Mr. Hawk ! He’s a major player in the business world . With just a snap of his fingers , he could make you fall from grace .

“ Wendy , we’ve given you a way out . Now it’s time to take it . No good can come from us all tearing each other
apart . I’m only advising you because I genuinely want what’s best for you , ” Lilian added .
Jessica cut in , “ Do it for Mr. Samuel . You can’t let him lose his life because of you ! ”
Wendy’s cold stare locked onto Jessica . “ I’ll figure out his situation . You all should worry about yourselves . I won’t give up on getting my dad’s murderer . Everyone who played a part in his death will end up behind bars ! ”
Edith scowled . “ Hey ! ”
Before they could say anything else , Wendy turned and walked away .
Stanley watched her retreating figure and quickly followed after her . He reached out and grabbed Wendy’s arm , pulling her to a stop .
“ We need to talk . ”
Wendy halted , yanking her arm out of his grasp with force . She gave him a cold , mocking smile . “ I don’t think we have anything left to talk about . ”
Stanley’s lips tightened . “ I can’t just ignore Jessica . Don’t make this difficult for me . ”
Wendy raised an eyebrow . “ I should be applauding your great love for Jessica . But what if I choose to make things difficult for you ? ”
Stanley fell silent for a few seconds before responding , his voice low , “ Samuel is just the beginning . If you force me , everyone around you will be at risk
So , he was willing to target the people she cared about just to get to her ?
Wendy didn’t hesitate . With a sharp slap , her hand struck Stanley across the face . The force of the blow made his handsome face turn sideways .
She stared at him , disappointment in her eyes . “ I have truly misjudged you . ”
Just then , Jessica rushed over . “ Stanley ! Are you okay ? ”
Jessica looked at Wendy in shock , her voice full of accusation . “ Are you out of your mind ? How dare you slap Stanley ! What’s wrong with you ? ”
Wendy shot Jessica a cold glance before turning to leave .

“ Don’t struggle anymore , Wendy . It’s pointless ! ” Jessica called out behind her . “ I heard you have a surgery scheduled at NovaHealth . The moment Stanley gives the word , your surgery will be canceled . Even if you’re Dr. Ceylan , Stanley can easily pull you down from your pedestal . ”
Wendy turned to face Jessica . “ Since you all are so capable , then go ahead . Let’s see if I’m scared of you . ”
Jessica’s face twisted with fury . “ You little … ”
Wendy turned away again , but after taking a few steps , she suddenly felt a sharp pain in her lower abdomen . Her stomach ached badly .
Stanley immediately noticed Wendy’s discomfort . His long legs quickly closed the distance between them . ” What’s wrong ? ”
Wendy pressed a hand to her abdomen , beads of sweat forming on her forehead .
“ Is your stomach hurting ? Let me take you to the hospital right now ! ” Stanley insisted .
“ No , don’t ! ”
At that moment , Jessica rushed over , wrapping her arm around Stanley’s and stopping him .
“ You’re my boyfriend now , and Wendy’s our enemy . I won’t let you take her to the hospital , not even if she’s dying ! ”
