Semua Bab The Heartbreak Prescription: Bab 521 - Bab 530

This time, Jessica wasn't pretending. Her heart really was hurting, and large beads of cold sweat rolled down her forehead.But this time, Stanley didn't even look at her. She felt like the boy who cried wolf, completely abandoned and discarded.Wendy stepped forward, looking down at Jessica with a cold, disdainful expression. "Stop dreaming. There was never going to be any surgery."Jessica quickly processed what she had just heard. "I get it now! This is all part of your plan. You knew all along I was impersonating you. You pretended to agree to the surgery, but you brought Finnley in to expose me, didn't you?"Wendy's lips curled into a cruel smile. "I see you're not completely stupid. Yes, today was all part of my scheme. I wanted to reveal your true face, to expose the truth of what happened all those years ago."Jessica's eyes widened. "You're really heartless! You're still a Crone! Why would you do this to me?"Wendy let out a short laugh, filled with venom. "Heartless? I'

Trish, confused, asked, "Uncle Harry can save Jessica? She's in Mr. Hawk's hands, and with Wendy involved, what can you possibly do to save her?"Harry remained silent, not uttering a word.Trish stepped forward, urgency in her voice. "If you have a way to get us out of this, tell us! What are you waiting for?"After a long moment of silence, Harry turned and walked away without a word.Lilian quickly followed, calling out, "Honey!"Trish wanted to follow as well, but was stopped by Edith. "Don't go after him."Trish paused, surprised. "Why?" She looked at Edith, then at Archer and Natalie. "You all seem to know something. Are you hiding something from me?"Archer spoke up, his tone serious. "Trish, stop asking. This involves Jessica's true identity."Trish's eyes widened. "Identity? What do you mean? Isn't Jessica Uncle Harry and Aunt Lilian's daughter?"Natalie took Trish's hand, urging her gently. "Enough questions. The truth is, Jessica's trump card is gone. Her fate is un

Cecelia let out a cold laugh. "Hah! Stanley was never around much. Now he's suddenly rushing over, desperate to see her."However, she was always respectful of Wendy. "Wendy, this is your decision. Do you want to see him?"Wendy placed her hand gently on her stomach, her gaze distant. "We've already resolved our past. There's nothing left to say between us. I don't want to see him. Tell him to leave."Halsey nodded. "Got it."She walked over to the door and opened it again. Looking at Stanley, she said, "Please go. Wendy doesn't want to see you."Stanley's voice was rough, almost pleading. "Did you tell her that I have something to say?""I did," Halsey replied, "but she said you've resolved the past, and there's nothing more to discuss. It's over."Over?Stanley shook his head, his frustration evident. "It's not over between us! Let me in. I need to talk to her myself.""She's pregnant. She needs to rest, and she doesn't want to see you. You need to respect that."With tha

Wendy stepped aside, opening the door. "Come in," she said quietly.Stanley walked in. They stood there in the living room, the weight of the moment hanging between them. Wendy broke the silence, her voice cool. "Mr. Hawk, is there something you need?"The formal title hung in the air, creating an invisible barrier and keeping him at a distance.Stanley took a step closer. "Wendy, please don't be so cold to me. All these years, I never knew it was you. I've been searching for you."Wendy nodded slowly. "I know. I know everything."Stanley reached out and gently placed his hands on her shoulders. "Please, give me another chance. We've lost so many years, but I don't want to lose you again."Wendy pushed him away, her voice firm. "It's too late! I've given you so many chances. I gave you a chance when we were getting divorced, when Jessica and I were both kidnapped. Even when I was on the operating table for a miscarriage, I prayed you'd show up in time. But every time I need

Stanley believed Jessica was nothing more than Wendy's shadow.The truth was, Jessica had known this all along—but she refused to believe it. "I'm the real pride of the Crone family. Wendy's just some country girl! She can't compare to me!" she yelled.Stanley's eyes turned icy cold. "Who gave you the right to insult her?"One of the bodyguards stepped forward, delivering a sharp slap to Jessica's face.Smack!Jessica's head jerked to the side from the force.But the slap didn't end there. The bodyguard's hand came down again and again, each strike hard and unforgiving, landing across Jessica's face. In no time, both of her cheeks were swollen and bruised, and blood was beginning to trickle from the corner of her mouth."Stop! Please, it hurts!" Jessica begged, unable to hold back.Stanley raised his hand, signaling the bodyguards to stop. They stepped back, returning to their positions.Jessica's legs gave out beneath her, and she crumpled to the ground.Raised in pampered
