The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 508

Chapter 508

“Are you okay, Samuel? Have you been eating well? Is anyone bothering you?” Wendy asked.

Stanley watched Wendy as she spoke, her face filled with genuine concern for Samuel. The worry and care were unmistakable, no trace of it being forced.

Stanley turned away, unwilling to look or listen.

“I’m fine. Don’t worry.” Samuel’s voice came through the phone, light and teasing. “Mr. Hawk has been treating me really well since he brought me here. I think I’ve even gained a little weight.”

Wendy knew Samuel was just trying to comfort her. A small smile tugged at her lips. “Hang in there. I’ve agreed to perform the surgery on Jessica. Once it’s done, you’ll be free.”

There was a pause on the other end. Samuel didn’t ask why–he always supported whatever decision Wendy made. “Alright. Don’t worry about me. I’m doing just fine.”

Wendy held the phone, her eyes lost in the view of the twinkling city lights outside the window. “After the surgery, let’s get out of Hovendale. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

When Stanley heard her words, his proud figure stiffened, his body rigid. Wendy wanted to leave.

Why the sudden change of heart? You refused to go with me befo

Samel spoke.

Wendy gazed at her reflection in the window, her voice soft. “Because I’ll have dealt with the things that had to be dealt with. It’s time for me to go.”

“Alright,” Samuel replied. “I’ll take you with me by then.”

Wendy hung up the phone and handed it back to Stanley. “Thanks.”

Stanley took the phone from her.

Wendy laid out her terms, her voice steady. “I’ll perform the surgery on Jessica, but before that, you have to release Samuel. I need to see him before I go through with it.”

Stanley nodded. “Okay.”

Wendy stood up, her words clear. “You can go now. I’ve said everything I needed to say.”

Stanley didn’t move. He stood there, looking at Wendy. “Are you really leaving?”

Wendy didn’t raise her eyes. “Yes.”

Stanley’s voice grew softer. “Where will you go?”

Wendy turned her gaze toward him, but her eyes were cold. That’s none of your business.”

Stanley’s long fingers curled into a fist, tightly gripping the phone.

Wendy lifted her eyes to meet his. “Is there something else you want to say?”

Stanley opened his mouth to speak, but seeing Wendy’s guarded stance, the memory of their current situation, and the presence of Jessica, the words died in his throat. He said nothing.

Stanley turned and walked away.

As he left, Halsey stepped into the room. “Did you tell Mr. Hawk the truth? Did you tell him you’re the one who saved him all those years ago? Do you think he’ll believe it?
