Wendy wiped her hands with a handkerchief before turning her gaze to Benny. “I don’t care what you’re trying to say, but it had better not be an apology.”

That was exactly what Benny had in mind, but the words were now stuck in his throat.

Wendy’s voice was cold, almost emotionless.

“You tried to harm me, and a simple apology can’t undo that. So, don’t bother apologizing. I won’t forgive you.”

Benny was stunned speechless. He was the local tough guy in Hovendale, feared by everyone except Stanley. No one dared to disrespect him like Wendy just did.

His face turned pale with frustration.

“Just close your eyes and rest. I think your leg’s going to be fine,” Wendy added.

Benny’s face was ashen, and he seemed too weak to argue. He could only comply with her

request and close his eyes.

Wendy gently tucked the blanket around him. She knew Benny had always preferred Jessica and believed Stanley belonged with Jessica, so his harsh words didn’t surprise her. She had

gotten used to it.

She wanted to leave Benny to his fate, to walk away, but something inside her wouldn’t let

her. Her compassion as a healer was too strong.

Just then, Alec walked in with a set of clean clothes. “You’re soaking wet. You should change into these.”

Benny had already gotten changed, and now Alec had found some women’s clothing for

her. ?

Wendy felt a chill seep into her bones. She hadn’t noticed the cold earlier while focusing on

Benny’s injury, but now the damp clothes felt like ice against her skin, sending a shiver

down her spine.

She gratefully took the clothes. “Thanks, Alec. I’ll change here.”

Wendy entered the room and began removing her wet clothes to change into the dry ones.

Suddenly, she heard footsteps from outside. Someone was approaching the door.

That person was right outside, and she was in the middle of changing.

Wendy quickly called out, “Who’s there? Who’s outside?”

The person on the other side gave a sheepish–laugh. “Wendy, it’s me.”

It was Alec.

Wendy had been wary of Alec ever since he had brought her and Benny back. Though he had helped them, he clearly had ulterior motives.

But she couldn’t afford to make an enemy of Alec just yet. Benny was seriously injured, and they were on Alec’s turf.

Wendy forced a neutral tone. “What brings you here?”

Alec stood by the door, peering through the crack. He tried to get a glimpse of her, but Wendy was standing in a place where he couldn’t see.

Alec grew impatient. “Are you done changing? Should I come in and help?”

He wanted to come in.

Wendy immediately refused, her voice firm. “I appreciate the offer, but I’m fine.”

Alec’s tone softened, but there was a hint of insistence. “Wendy, you’re a guest here. I have to take care of you. I’m coming in.”

Without waiting for her response, Alec pushed the door open.

Wendy, now fully dressed, stood calmly and faced Alec. “I’m already dressed. Thank you.”

Alec felt slightly disappointed. Why had Wendy changed so quickly? He hadn’t seen

anything!

He looked at Wendy’s delicate face with greedy eyes, taking a step closer. “You must be cold. Why don’t you come to my room? It’s warm in there…”

Wendy quickly moved to the other side of the room, putting some distance between them.

“My brother–in–law’s leg is badly hurt. I need to go take care of him.”
