“Mr. Hawk, Jessica gets really clingy when her heart acts up. Just stay with her, okay?” Lilian said.

Stanley pressed his lips together. He had been feeling a growing sense of unease since they entered the hospital. The feeling was becoming harder to shake.

He reached for his phone, only to find his pocket empty. It suddenly hit him–he had forgotten to bring his phone when he rushed Jessica to the hospital.

He hadn’t even brought it with him.

Stanley looked at Jessica, his voice soft. “Your mom can keep you company. I still have some paperwork to finish, but I’ll come back first thing in the morning.”

“No!” Jessica immediately flung herself at him, wrapping her arms around his waist. “I don’t want my mom with me. I want you, Stanley! Stay with me!”

Stanley raised his hand, about to gently push her

away.

At that moment, a cold voice rang out from the door. “You brat!”

Stanley turned to see Glinda standing in the doorway. He froze, shocked to see his grandmother here.

“Grandma, what are you doing here?”

Jessica and Lilian both blinked in surprise. “Mrs. Glinda?”

Glinda stood at the door, fury boiling inside her as she watched Stanley and Jessica in such an intimate embrace. Without a word, she stormed in, raising her cane and swinging it down at Stanley.

“So, this is where you’ve been–hanging out with this shameless vixen!”

Stanley didn’t move, letting the cane strike him hard.

Glinda swung it again, and then a third time. Both Jessica and Lilian were frozen, wide–eyed in shock.

Zayn rushed into the room, grabbing Glinda’s arm. “Mrs. Glinda, please, calm down!”

Stanley looked at Glinda. “Grandma, what’s going on? What did I do wrong?”

Glinda seethed, “What did you do wrong? Do I really have to spell it out for you? You-”

Jessica cut in, her voice shaky. “Mrs. Glinda, please, calm down! Don’t hit Stanley. He’s your grandson!”

Glinda fixed Jessica with a hard stare. “Who are you to interrupt while I’m talking to my grandson? How rude!”

Jessica tried to speak up again. “I—”

Glinda snapped, “I was just planning to give my grandson a piece of my mind, but now you’ve decided to throw yourself into the fire. Fine, I’ll teach you a lesson about politeness!”

With that, Glinda raised her cane once more, this time striking Jessica.

The blow landed with a sharp crack, and Jessica screamed in pain. “Ah! Mrs. Glinda, why are you hitting me? Please, stop!”

But Glinda didn’t listen. She swung the cane again, her words cutting through the air as she spoke.
