Chapter 503
Stanley stood at the door with lils eyes fixed on Wendy , his body tense as though he wanted to step inside .
But Wendy , not wanting to face him , quickly averted her gaze .
Stanley froze in place .
Just then , Lilian’s voice rang out from the hallway . “ Mr. Hawk , Jessica’s heart is acting up again ! She wants to see you . You should go to her quickly . ”
Lilian had come to find Stanley again to tell her about Jessica’s flare – up .
Glinda and Halsey both heard Lilian’s voice . Glinda let out a cold snort . “ She’s asked to see you again . Why don’t you go to her ? ”
Halsey muttered , Jessica’s always complaining about hear pains . She’s been doing it for years , and yet she’s still alive and kicking . It’s a miracle . ”
Stanley remained standing tall in the doorway , his eyes still on Wendy .
Wendy stayed silent as Halsey poured a glass of warm water . She took it , her eyes lowered as she drank slowly . Her delicate profile glowed in the soft light , almost ethereal .
Lilian’s voice rang out once more , urgent this time . “ Mr. Hawk , did you hear me ? Jessica’s still waiting for you ! ”
Stanley glanced at Wendy one last time , then turned and left .
Stanley had really gone to see Jessica .
Glinda was speechless . “ He actually went ! Well , I hope he never comes back ! ”
Wendy gently took Glinda’s hand . “ It’s okay . Don’t be upset . You need to take care of yourself . ”
Glinda sighed . “ I should’ve made sure to send Jessica abroad when I had the chance . If it weren’t for her , you and Stanley wouldn’t be going through all this . ”
Wendy’s lips curled into a faint smile . “ It’s not that simple . Love can’t be avoided . Mr. Hawk loves Jessica, and no matter where she goes , his heart will follow . Even if you sent her away , he would have just gone with her . ”
“ I really don’t get it . How could he fall for someone like her ? ” Glinda wondered .
Just then , Halsey spoke up . “ Wendy , did you know that Jessica once saved Mr. Hawk ? ”
“ What ? Would she even do such a thing ? ” Glinda looked stunned .
Wendy shook her head . “ I didn’t know . ”
Halsey sat down beside her on the bed . “ He told me today , right outside the door . He said the reason he’s always been so kind to Jessica is that she once saved his life , and he feels indebted to her . ”
Wendy furrowed her brow . Jessica saved Stanley’s life ?
She had always thought she was the one who saved Stanley had Jessica done the same ?
How many times had Stanley gotten injured ?
Wendy’s thoughts raced . “ When and where did she save him ? ”
“ He said it happened years ago . He was severely injured and wandered into a forest . That was when Jessica found
him , took him to a cave , and saved his life . He said he promised her that day he would take her home and never leave her ”
As Halsey finished speaking , Wendy’s eyes went wide with shock . Jessica had saved Stanley In a cave ?
How could that be ?
Wendy was the one who had saved Stanley in that cave all those years ago !
Their story was hers , not Jessica’s !
“ Wendy , are you okay ? ” Glinda asked , concern in her voice
Wendy snapped out of her daze . “ Halsey , did he really tell you that ? ”
Halsey nodded . “ Yeah , he told me himself right outside this room . I’m sure of it . He said that his relationship with Jessica wasn’t as simple as love or not love . He said Jessica was his responsibility and he couldn’t abandon her . ”
Suddenly , Wendy let out a soft laugh . But as she laughed , her eyes , so pale and clear , filled with tears . Within moments , large drops began to fall .
