The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 30
The phone clicked off with two beeps, and Stanley was left staring at the screen in stunned silence.That damned woman actually hung up on him!At that moment, the butler Freddy walked over. Stanley gave him an order, "Freddy, call Wendy and tell her that Grandma isn't feeling well. We need her to come back immediately!"Freddy was momentarily taken aback. "But, sir, your grandmother has already taken the medicine Mrs. Hawk prepared and is resting. She's feeling fine."Stanley's temper flared, his voice deep and dangerous. "Tell a lie! Don't you get it?"Freddy hesitated again, clearly uncomfortable. "Sir, isn't it a bit harsh to lie to Mrs. Hawk? Over these past three years, she has been taking care of both you and your grandmother. She's been very hard-working. Let her go out and relax tonight, it won't hurt."Stanley's gaze was icy, his voice like a blade. "Freddy, are you going to make the call or not?"Perhaps Stanley's glare was too intense, because Freddy immediately pull
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 31
Although Wendy had a troubled childhood, she never lost the courage to love. Whether it was Lilian or Stanley, she had always loved them passionately and actively. Loving someone didn't mean being humble or inferior, and it certainly didn't give anyone the right to mistreat her, especially when she didn't love anymore. She no longer loved Stanley.Stanley studied her serene face with cold eyes, his lips twisting into a mocking smile. "You really don't love me anymore?""Yes—mmph!" Wendy started to answer, but before she could finish, he leaned down and forcefully pressed his lips to hers.Her mind exploded, a rush of blankness filling her thoughts. Her eyes widened in disbelief as she realized he had unexpectedly kissed her.It wasn't their first kiss, but the last time in the shower, she had pulled him in and kissed him. Now, it was him kissing her.Wendy immediately struggled, raising her hands to push him away. "Stanley, let me go!"Stanley's strong, broad frame pressed he
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 32
This man!Wendy was furious. She stood on her tiptoes and bit the corner of Stanley's lip."Ugh!" Stanley winced in pain, a faint taste of blood filling his mouth. She had drawn blood with that bite.He grabbed her face, squeezing it until her lips formed an "O" shape. His eyes were full of anger. "What are you, a dog? Do you always have to bite people?"Wendy shot him a defiant look. "You should be thinking about how to explain that cut on your lip to Jessica tomorrow. Even though Nathan took your place, isn't Jessica stuck with my second-hand goods?"Stanley stared at her, speechless.Second-hand goods? This damned woman!"We can hook up with other people, but you can't be with Nathan!" "Why?" Wendy asked, her voice calm but mocking.In truth, Stanley saw Nathan as a good friend. He couldn't stand the thought of it. He looked Wendy up and down with disdain. "You think Nathan would be interested in you? Keep dreaming! You only know how to shake your hips on the dance flo
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 33
Stanley had just finished his shower, wearing a black silk pajama. His damp, short hair hung loosely, droplets of water glistening like mist. He looked fresher and more youthful than his usual well-dressed, suit-clad self.Wendy glanced at him for a moment. The man truly was blessed with good looks.Just then, his phone rang. It was a call from Zayn. He grabbed his phone and answered the call."Mr. Hawk, Dr. Ceylan accepted your invitation to meet tomorrow at the naturopathy center." Zayn's voice came through.Stanley's expression remained stoic. "Last time, Dr. Ceylan came and left without a word. Tomorrow, I'll get a glimpse of that mysterious person."Wendy felt a chill at the back of her neck. This was bad.Stanley had never forgotten how Dr. Ceylan had canceled their last meeting. He wasn't the type to let someone play games with him, and he was determined to see Dr. Ceylan tomorrow.Stanley then looked over at Wendy. "Aren't you going to take a shower?""Right." Wendy qui
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 34
Though they had been married for over three years, Stanley had never shared a bedroom with Wendy. In fact, he hadn't shared a bed with any woman, making this moment entirely new to him.As he watched her carefully applying skincare, moving from one product to the next, Stanley found it all rather intriguing.Wendy, noticing his gaze, turned her head toward him.Stanley didn't have time to look away, and their eyes met.Wendy shot him a glare. "What are you staring at? Haven't you ever seen a beautiful woman before?""You should spend some time reading to improve yourself. No matter how pretty you make yourself, you're still just a vase," Stanley replied coolly. Wendy, who had just been labeled a "vase", wanted to curse aloud. She vowed that she would blind the arrogant Stanley with her brilliance.Without responding, she climbed into bed, pulling the covers up.At that moment, Stanley's phone rang with a soft chime. He glanced down and saw that it was a message from Dave at Ha
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 35
Being called "annoying" out of nowhere left Stanley feeling completely confused. He didn't pay much attention to it. Setting his phone aside, he returned to reviewing the documents in front of him. By the time he finished his work, it was already late into the night. Stanley got up to pour himself a glass of water. As he turned toward Wendy, he saw that she had already fallen asleep.He was about to return to the sofa when a soft chime echoed from her phone, which was resting beside her pillow. Wendy had an incoming text.Stanley glanced at her phone, and in the next moment, his dark, intense gaze narrowed suddenly.He saw her profile picture glowing on the screen. It looked eerily identical to the profile picture of the genius freshman, W.Stanley quickly walked over to the bed, reaching for her phone.Just then, Wendy shifted in her sleep, and her delicate face pressed against his hand.Stanley froze, unsure of what he was doing. He must have been seeing things—was it possi
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 36
Sienna spotted Wendy approaching.Stanley and Jessica noticed her, too. Jessica was taken aback. "Wendy, what are you doing here?"Sienna looked at Wendy with obvious disdain. "Wendy, I'll make you pay for what you did with Nathan last night! Now, just leave. We're all waiting for Dr. Ceylan, and we don't have time to waste on you!"Stanley's gaze landed on Wendy, his sharp brow furrowing slightly. Though he didn't say anything, it was clear he wasn't welcoming her presence. He felt that she was here to cause trouble.Wendy wasn't offended. She simply found their reactions amusing. She gave them a playful smile, then winked at Stanley before saying, "I know you're waiting for Dr. Ceylan."Jessica snapped, "Then why don't you just leave?"Wendy straightened her back, smiling confidently in front of the three of them. "Actually, I'm the one you're all waiting for—"Before she could finish, someone else appeared. "Wendy, what are you doing here?"Wendy turned around to see Trish C
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 37
Stanley was only interested in seeing Dr. Ceylan. As the minutes passed with no sign of the doctor, his expression grew colder.Trish glanced at the time, her voice soft but certain. "Mr. Hawk, Dr. Ceylan must have been delayed. Who knows what Dr. Ceylan's working on. The doctor's been in seclusion for three years now." Dr. Ceylan's disappearance had been the biggest mystery in the medical world. No one knew the reason for the doctor's prolonged disappearance.Wendy, standing by the door, rolled her eyes. She wanted Stanley to open his eyes wide and see that she had kept her word and shown up. Even Jessica, Trish, and Sienna were her witnesses.Seeing that Stanley's face didn't soften, Trish uttered, "Mr. Hawk, I'll start by checking Jessica."-Twenty minutes later, Stanley and Trish stood outside the door. Trish, dressed in a white silk blouse and a black pencil skirt, looked bright and professional. She met Stanley's gaze—handsome and commanding—and said, "Mr. Hawk, based o

The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 514
Halsey was stunned, her eyes wide with shock as she stared at Cyril. "Are you serious?"Cyril smiled lightly. "Of course I am. But like I said, you need to ask him if he's willing. Maybe he doesn't want to be your tutor, or maybe he doesn't want to manage the company."Halsey frowned, confused. "What are you really trying to say?"Cyril sighed softly. "Maybe Dwight's path in life is one of constant risk—always on the edge, unable to settle down. He might not be able to offer you the kind of stable future you're looking for."Cyril had personally recruited Dwight years ago, but once Dwight entered college, he began skipping classes. Cyril didn't want such a promising young man to waste his potential, so he had tried reaching out to him privately several times.With his connections and resources, Cyril could have helped Dwight enter academia or the business world. Dwight was smart; he could easily make a name for himself.Yet, Dwight had refused every time. That was when Cyril re
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 513
Dwight looked at Cyril and called out, "Hello, Professor Lincoln."Cyril was a professor, and Dwight was one of his students. They knew each other.Cyril gave a small nod and then extended his hand toward Halsey. "Let's go home."Halsey glanced at Dwight. She had planned on having him take her home, but now that her father was here, she had no choice but to go with him.Halsey walked over to Cyril's side.Cyril looked at Dwight and said kindly, "It's late. Why don't you come with us? I'll give you a ride."Dwight politely declined. "Thanks, Professor Lincoln, but I can head home on my own."Cyril nodded. "Alright. Be careful on the road. If you need anything, don't hesitate to call me."With that, Cyril turned to leave, taking Halsey with him.Halsey turned her head and waved a small goodbye to Dwight, reluctant to part ways.Dwight stood there, watching them as they left.-Inside the luxury car, Halsey sat beside Cyril as the driver navigated the road ahead. Cyril broke t

Halsey's legs wobbled, and although her arms were still wrapped around Dwight's neck, her delicate body went soft against his chest.Dwight's arms tightened around her slender waist. He lifted her and pressed her gently against him.Halsey's face turned bright red as she pushed him away.Their lips parted, and Dwight looked at her, her lips glistening from the kiss. In a low voice, he asked, "What's wrong?"Halsey's big, watery eyes flickered nervously, and she quickly glanced at his pants. "You're pressing against me."Dwight froze, unsure of what to say.Halsey, to her surprise, noticed a faint blush spreading across his face. She never expected someone as stoic and cold as him to blush.She smiled mischievously. "Are you blushing?""I'm not," he replied quickly, trying to hide his embarrassment."You're definitely blushing!" she teased, reaching out as if to touch his cheek.Dwight moved back slightly. "Stop messing around."Halsey leaned in close to his ear, her voice dr
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 511
Halsey was sure Dwight understood what she meant. And yet, he had the nerve to proudly admit he had taken more than one girl on his bike!Dwight didn't move, and Halsey's fist landed directly on his chest.It was solid.Halsey winced, feeling the pain in her hand. She quickly pulled it back, annoyed. "Are you made of stone or something? Your muscles are so hard. My hand hurts now."Dwight looked at her delicate hand, noting the slight redness on her fingers. He gave a small smirk. "Why did you hit me?"Halsey shot him a glare, still fuming. "What do you think?""I don't know," Dwight replied.Halsey raised an eyebrow. "Playing dumb, huh? Tell me: who are the girls you've taken on your bike?"Dwight looked at her, his expression unreadable. "My mom and my sister."Halsey's breath caught, and her face, usually pale, immediately turned bright red. She had thought he meant other girls, but instead, it was his mother and Madeline.Halsey was at a loss for words.Dwight watched
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 510
Jessica and Lilian were already daydreaming about the future.Jessica's smile could light up the room. "This is amazing! I can't wait for Wendy to perform my surgery," she said, her voice full of excitement.-Stanley stood alone in the corridor, not leaving right away. Instead, he lingered, standing there in silence.The light in the hospital corridor was dim, casting a soft glow on his broad shoulders, enveloping him in a faint shadow. Just then, Zayn approached. "Mr. Hawk, are we heading back to the company tonight or to Royale Residences?"Stanley barely moved, his lips curling slightly. "You head back first.""Alright, Mr. Hawk," Zayn responded, then turned and left.Stanley walked over to the window. His mind echoed with the memory of Wendy and Samuel's phone call. Wendy had said she didn't want to stay in Hovendale anymore. She was leaving, and Samuel would take her away.She was carrying Samuel's child. They would be happy together, wouldn't they?On the other hand
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 509
Halsey was thrilled. She knew Wendy had a way of dealing with Jessica, the impostor.Just thinking about how Jessica had been pretending to be Wendy and throwing her weight around infuriated Halsey. The day Wendy exposed Jessica for who she really was would be nothing short of spectacular.But...Halsey looked at Wendy, a serious expression crossing her face. "What about Mr. Hawk? What are you planning to do with him?" Stanley still had no idea that the girl who had saved him all those years ago was actually Wendy. How would he react when he found out? What would Wendy do when that day came?Wendy's voice was soft as she answered, "I'm tired. Loving Stanley all these years has been exhausting."She wanted to leave. She had never really belonged here, but because Stanley was here, she had stayed. Now, she was ready to go."But for all these years, he's been completely deceived by Jessica. He's been blind to the truth, but he's also a victim. He doesn't know it's you," Halsey s
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 508
"Are you okay, Samuel? Have you been eating well? Is anyone bothering you?" Wendy asked.Stanley watched Wendy as she spoke, her face filled with genuine concern for Samuel. The worry and care were unmistakable, no trace of it being forced.Stanley turned away, unwilling to look or listen."I'm fine. Don't worry." Samuel's voice came through the phone, light and teasing. "Mr. Hawk has been treating me really well since he brought me here. I think I've even gained a little weight."Wendy knew Samuel was just trying to comfort her. A small smile tugged at her lips. "Hang in there. I've agreed to perform the surgery on Jessica. Once it's done, you'll be free."There was a pause on the other end. Samuel didn't ask why—he always supported whatever decision Wendy made. "Alright. Don't worry about me. I'm doing just fine."Wendy held the phone, her eyes lost in the view of the twinkling city lights outside the window. "After the surgery, let's get out of Hovendale. I don't want to stay
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 507
At the mention of those past events, Stanley's usually sharp features softened. "Yes, it was many years ago. I was severely injured and wandered into a forest. It was Jessica who saved me. If it weren't for her, I wouldn't be here today. She's the one who gave me a second chance at life."Wendy couldn't help but laugh, a bitter chuckle escaping her lips. She couldn't even put her feelings into words, only feeling a deep ache in her chest; a mixture of sharp pain and a strange, tingling sensation.She had always thought he had forgotten.She had always believed he had forgotten her.In reality, he had never forgotten.He still remembered her.All these years, he had kept her in his heart.To know that the love had been reciprocated—it was such a beautiful thing, even if he had mistaken the person.Wendy tilted her head back, her small face gazing up at him. "Do you remember the words you said in that cave?"Stanley nodded. "I told her I would take her with me, that I would gi
The Heartbreak Prescription Chapter 506
Stanley tried to gently push Jessica away, but she held on tightly. She tilted her head back, offering Wendy a bright, triumphant smile as she lay in his arms. It was both a taunt and a display of her smug satisfaction.Wendy's expression remained neutral, giving nothing away.Jessica continued to look at Wendy, a playful edge in her voice. "Did you come to see me?"Wendy didn't respond. Instead, her gaze shifted to Stanley. "Mr. Hawk, I need to talk to you."Stanley hadn't expected Wendy to approach him so directly. He started to rise from the bed.But Jessica clung to him, not letting him go. "Stanley, don't leave me! My heart's still bothering me..."Halsey, growing impatient, snapped, "Enough with the theatrics!"Still, Jessica wouldn't let go of Stanley. "Please, you promised you'd stay with me. I don't want you to leave."Stanley frowned, clearly frustrated. "Let go. I'll be back in a minute.""No," she whined. "I won't let you leave."Jessica threw a defiant look in
