Chapter 503

Penulis: Glazed Snow
Stanley stood at the door with his 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 heart 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, urg

    "Wendy, why are you crying? You're pregnant; you shouldn't be upsetting yourself like this." Glinda quickly pulled out a tissue and dabbed at Wendy's tears.Wendy couldn't help but laugh bitterly. She finally understood—it all made sense now. Jessica had been impersonating her all along!For all this time, Jessica had taken her place, pretending to be the one who had saved Stanley.Stanley had always believed Jessica saved him in that cave all those years ago.Wendy reached up to touch her neck, but there was nothing there. The crystal pendant Stanley had given her was gone.That pendant had been the token of their bond when he saved her in the cave.She hadn't worn it for a while, but she remembered clearly that she had left it in her apartment."Wendy, what's going on? Don't scare me like this," Halsey said.The shock hit Wendy hard, but she quickly steadied herself. "I'm fine. Jessica is a fraud!"Halsey looked at Wendy in confusion. "What do you mean?"Wendy straightened

    "Jessica took the crystal pendant?" "That thief! She'll stop at nothing!" Glinda and Halsey fumed, their voices dripping with anger.Wendy gave a small, mocking smile. "Does she really think she'll be safe once she takes the crystal pendant? The truth will always come out, no matter how hard you try to hide it. Let's go back to the hospital.""Alright."-In the hospital room, Jessica sat with Lilian, holding her mother's hand tightly. She asked anxiously, "Mom, did you tell Stanley to come?"Lilian nodded. "I did. He's talking to Zayn outside. He'll be in soon."Jessica sighed in relief. "Looks like Stanley still cares about me. Of course, as long as I'm still the one who saved him, he won't abandon me."She glanced at Lilian, a question in her eyes. "Have the kidnappers and the doctor been dealt with?"Lilian smiled slightly. "Don't worry. It's all taken care of. I had them drugged before they even started their task. Even if they're caught, they won't be able to speak. N

    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

    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

    "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

    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

    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

    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

    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

    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
