Halsey was overcome with emotion , tears streaming down her face . She was utterly terrified . If they had been even a second later , the child in Wendy’s womb would have been lost . The thought of it still sent chills down Halsey’s spine , making her legs feel weak with fear .
“ Mrs. Glinda ! Dad ! ”
Glinda immediately rushed into the operating room . Seeing Wendy , she took her hand , her voice thick with emotion .
“ Wendy , it’s me ! I’m here ! ”
Wendy’s face was as pale as a sheet , drained of all color . She had been holding on by sheer willpower , but when she saw Glinda , her entire body seemed to relax . Her white tear – streaked eyes closed , and she whispered through her cracked lips , “ Grandma . ”
Glinda tightened her grip on Wendy’s cold hand . “ It’s okay , it’s okay . Don’t be afraid . I’ll make sure no one hurts you or my first great – grandchild ! ”
Wendy nodded faintly before closing her eyes , falling into a deep sleep .
Cyril checked Wendy’s pulse . After a few moments , he let out a sigh of relief . “ Thank God . Dr. Ceylan and the baby are both safe . ”
Glinda’s eyes turned steely as she looked at the unconscious black – clad thugs and the doctor on the floor . In a low , commanding voice , she ordered , “ Take them all into custody . I want to know who’s behind this . If they don’t speak , then they’ll have no need to speak again . ”
Having led the Hawk family for so many years , Glinda had long since retired from the public eye , her demeanor now much gentler . But when she was serious , she acted with fierce power . The thugs and the doctor shivered in fear .
“ W – We were just following orders … ” one of the men stammered .
Before he could say more , they were dragged away . There would be plenty of time for them to speak later .
Wendy was transferred to a VIP room and settled in to rest . She was utterly exhausted , her sleep peaceful and undisturbed .
Glinda sat beside her , keeping watch . It wasn’t long before Zayn hurried into the room , looking frantie .
“ Mrs. Glinda , ” he said , breathless .
Glinda looked up , her eyes sharp . “ Where the hell is Stanley ? Wendy’s lying here , and you’re the only one who showed up ! ”
Zayn wiped the sweat off his brow , clearly nervous . “ Mrs. Glinda , Mr. Hawk … He’s … ”
Halsey spoke up , her voice full of frustration . “ Mrs. Glinda , I don’t know where Stanley is . I tried calling him a hundred times , but not once did he pick up . He wasn’t around when Wendy and the baby were in danger . This is the last straw ! He’s gone too far ! “ .
Glinda’s eyes narrowed as she turned to Zayn . “ Cat got your tongue ? I asked you where Stanley is ! ”
Zayn knew there was no way out , and deciding it was better to tell the truth than to lie , he confessed . “ Mr. Hawk … He’s with Ms. Jessica . ”

Glinda shot to her feet , her face contorted with disbelief . “ What did you say ? Stanley’s with Jessica ? ”
“ Yes , Mrs. Glinda , ” Zayn confirmed . “ Ms. Jessica suddenly complained of chest pain , and Mr. Hawk rushed her to the hospital . And by coincidence , they’re at this very hospital . ”
Halsey was furious . “ No wonder he didn’t pick up his phone ! He was with Jessica ! ”
Glinda , shaking with rage , clenched her fists . “ That unseemly brat – I can’t believe he’s still with that Jessica ! I’m going to find him right now ! ”
Glinda stormed out of the room .
Meanwhile , in the VIP room , Jessica had been clinging to Stanley , refusing to let him leave . “ Stanley , stay here with me tonight . ”
Lilian , who had just arrived , exchanged a brief glance with Jessica . They figured from the timing that Wendy had lost her baby , but for safety’s sake , they still needed to keep Stanley around a little longer .
