Chapter 503

Stanley stood at the door with lils 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 hear 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.

Wendy’s lips curled into a faint smile. “It’s not that simple. Love can’t be avoided. Mr. Hawk loves Jessica, and no matter where she goes, his heart will follow. Even if you sent her away, he would have just gone with her.”

“I really don’t get it. How could he fall for someone like her?” Glinda wondered.

Just then, Halsey spoke up. “Wendy, did you know that Jessica once saved Mr. Hawk?”

“What? Would she even do such a thing?” Glinda looked stunned.

Wendy shook her head. “I didn’t know.”

Halsey sat down beside her on the bed. “He told me today, right outside the door. He said the reason he’s always been so kind to Jessica is that she once saved his life, and he feels indebted to her.”

Wendy furrowed her brow. Jessica saved Stanley’s life?

She had always thought she was the one who saved Stanley had Jessica done the same?

How many times had Stanley gotten injured?

Wendy’s thoughts raced. “When and where did she save him?”

“He said it happened years ago. He was severely injured and wandered into a forest. That was when Jessica found
