Chapter 55

Author: Glazed Snow
Nathan not only didn't reject Wendy, but he also confessed his feelings for her right in front of Stanley.

Jessica and Trish stood there in shock. "Nathan!"

Had Nathan lost his mind? Was he seriously going to take over his best friend's unwanted goods?

Stanley's gaze fell on Wendy and Nathan's held hands. The temperature around him seemed to drop instantly, and his eyes darkened as he parted his lips to speak to Nathan.

"Of course, you can. You can do whatever you want with her."

With that, Stanley turned and walked away.

Jessica quickly followed.

Wendy watched him leave, feeling a cold emptiness settle in her chest. Stanley truly was heartless. He had given Nathan permission to pursue her, even letting Nathan do whatever he wanted with her.

"Wendy, I've known Stanley for many years. He and Jessica will never separate," Nathan said quietly.

Wendy quickly pulled her hand from Nathan's grasp. "I know."

Without warning, Nathan stepped closer, pressing her back against the wall.

    Harry collapsed, and Wendy quickly pressed her hands over his wound. "Hang in there," she said urgently. "I'll treat you right away!"She couldn't believe what had just happened. Never in her wildest thoughts did she expect Harry would throw himself in front of her like that, taking the knife meant for her.Harry gave a small shake of his head. He already knew—it was too late. He was at the end of the road. His eyes, full of guilt and regret, locked on Wendy. There was so much he wanted to say, but all he could manage was a strained, broken whisper. "I'm…sorry…"As the words left his lips, his hand dropped limply to the side, and he closed his eyes.Wendy clutched him. "Don't give up! I can save you! Just hold on a little longer…"Lilian crouched beside them and placed her fingers beneath Harry's nose. There was no breath.Harry was gone.He had died, and it was by her hand.Wendy looked up at Lilian, her voice trembling with shock and disbelief. "Why would you do this? You

    Wendy was stunned. She had always known how much Harry loved Jessica—perhaps more than anyone else. But now, Harry's attitude had completely shifted, turning 180 degrees, and he was calling Jessica a liar.What had Jessica lied about?Wendy looked at Harry, her confusion deepening. "Jessica's a liar? What exactly did she lie about?"Harry nodded, his excitement growing. Then, he carefully began to write on Wendy's palm. "She..is…not..."Not what? What was Jessica not?Harry was about to write the word "Ms. Larson", intending to explain that Jessica wasn't Horace's daughter. But just then, there was a sudden sound—the door to the room swung open, and someone stepped inside.Wendy looked up to see Jessica and Lilian walking into the room.Jessica pushed forward and shoved Wendy aside. "What do you think you're doing? Why are you so close to my dad? Are you trying to harm him?"Wendy stood up, her brows furrowing as she met Jessica's gaze. "Why are you so worked up?"Jessica gl

    Jessica was incredibly selfish. Over the years, Harry had devoted himself entirely to her, treating her like his own flesh and blood, cherishing and indulging her. Yet, she felt nothing for him. Any obstacle in her path, any stone that stood in her way, she wanted to kick it aside with all her might."Harry was initially a vegetable, completely unresponsive. But Edith had Wendy perform needle therapy on him, and now he's awake. We need to find a way to stop your secret from being exposed!" Lilian said. Jessica's eyes narrowed, turning cold and calculating. "We should make Wendy disappear."Lilian blinked in surprise."Wendy is the source of all this trouble. Once she's gone, everything she has will be mine!" Jessica declared. Right now, all she wanted was for Wendy to be dead.Lilian nodded, her eyes filled with malice. "She should have died a long time ago. We left her in the countryside as a child, but she somehow survived. Well, now it's time for her to disappear for good!

    Jessica furrowed her brow, her mind racing. "What do you mean? What happened to Harry?"Lilian lowered her voice, clearly anxious. "He's uncovered the truth about your identity. He—"Before Lilian could finish, Jessica interrupted her, her voice sharp. "Truth about my identity? What other truth is there? My identity is clear—I'm the daughter of the richest man! I'm Horace Larson's one and only daughter!"Jessica still had no idea about her real identity.Lilian hadn't planned on telling Jessica, but now that Harry had regained consciousness, there was no choice. She had to prepare Jessica for the worst."Jessica, I have to tell you something important. You're not Mr. Larson's biological daughter."What?!Jessica's face went pale, her eyes wide with disbelief. "Who says I'm not? What are you talking about? Have you lost your mind?!"Lilian met Jessica's gaze, steady but sorrowful. "The truth is, you're the daughter I had with Jerry. I switched you with Wendy when you were a baby

    Jessica's voice trembled with anger. "Watch it!"Wendy eyed Jessica suspiciously, her gaze sharp. "Also, I haven't even made the antidote yet, so how did you wake up on your own?"Jessica's eyes flickered, betraying a moment of guilt.Wendy turned her gaze toward Horace. "If I had poisoned you, I would've made sure you stayed unconscious, but you woke up on your own. Mr. Larson, something's definitely off about this poisoning. You should really look into it more carefully." Horace studied Jessica intently, his eyes deep and unreadable.Jessica's heart skipped a beat under his stare. She couldn't shake the feeling that Horace had seen right through her.Quickly, she feigned dizziness. "Dad, I feel dizzy.""You should rest," Horace said softly. He tucked the blankets around her, then turned to lead everyone out of the room.Once they were in the corridor, Horace stopped and faced Wendy. "What do you think about the situation with Jessica's poisoning?"Wendy glanced at him, her

    Harry opened his mouth, as if trying to speak.Yet, all that came out were mumbled words that no one could make sense of."Why can't Harry speak yet?" Edith turned to Wendy, her voice trembling with worry.Lilian, who had been on edge, felt her nerves relax just a little. She had been so afraid that Harry might suddenly speak and expose everything, but it seemed that he couldn't talk yet.Without wasting a moment, she rushed forward and grabbed Harry's hand. "Honey, what's wrong? Do you have something to say to me? I'm here. You can tell me."Wendy looked down at Harry, her gaze serious. "I've already used needle therapy to wake him up, but he can't speak yet. He'll need some time to recover."Edith could only offer words of comfort. "Harry, don't get too worked up. You'll get better slowly, I'm sure."Harry continued to stare at Lilian, his eyes bloodshot with anger, but no words came from his lips.Just then, the maid hurried into the room. "Mrs. Edith, good news!"Edith loo

    Though Lilian was silently laughing in her heart, she shouted, "Someone, help!"Wendy lifted her gaze, her clear eyes locking onto Lilian's face. She smirked."What's so funny? You've killed my husband, and you still have the nerve to smile!" Lilian snapped. She felt uneasy about Wendy's grin—it seemed strange.Wendy looked at Lilian, her voice calm. "Are you really so sure Harry is dead?"Lilian froze. "What do you mean? He isn't breathing. Of course, he's dead."Wendy simply said, "Then why don't you check again, to see if he's still breathing?"Lilian, doubtful, placed her fingers on Harry's nostrils. It was cold, and there was definitely no breath.Just as she was about to pull her hand away, preparing to snap at Wendy for playing games, Harry suddenly opened his eyes.Lilian screamed in terror, "Ah!"In a split second, Harry reached out and grabbed her wrist. A man who had been dead only moments ago suddenly came to life, gripping her. Her heart racing, Lilian recoile

    Edith remained firm in her decision, insisting that Wendy treat Harry.Lilian's face stiffened. "Mom, have you really thought this through? You can't entrust Harry to Wendy. What if—"Wendy flashed a sly smile, cutting Lilian off. "Why are you so scared of me treating him? If you keep blocking me, I might start to suspect you're hiding some dark secret."Edith's gaze hardened as she turned back to Lilian. "I've made up my mind. Step aside!"Edith had spoken. It was clear—Lilian had to step back.Lilian's heart sank as she stood there, helpless. She could argue all she wanted, but if she said anything more, Edith would only become more suspicious, and she'd expose herself.With a resigned sigh, Lilian stepped aside.Wendy approached the bed where Harry lay. Her only memory of him was that he had always been a devoted father, someone who seemed to revolve his entire life around his daughter, Jessica.Now, he lay here, pale and lifeless, with no sign of the vitality he once had.

    Wendy tightened her pale fingers slightly, then relaxed. "Okay, I'll save Harry."Edith was overjoyed. Just moments ago, she thought Wendy wouldn't agree to help—but to her surprise, Wendy had said yes."Great! I'll have the car ready. Let's go to the hospital right now!"Wendy didn't really want to save Harry, but she knew she had to. There was something suspicious about Harry's situation. She couldn't shake the feeling that there was a hidden secret between Harry and Lilian, something that someone was desperate to bury forever.Only by waking Harry up could she uncover that secret.The Crone family was filled with hidden agendas, and she had to uncover the truth about each and every one of them.-Wendy and Edith soon arrived at the hospital. Lilian had been staying in the room with Harry, maintaining the image of a devoted wife and mother, never leaving his side.When she saw Wendy and Edith enter, she froze.
