The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 518

Chapter 518

Jessica, feeling the pressure of the moment, began to urge Stanley.

At that point, Halsey sneered, “What’s the rush? Mr. Finnley is an old acquaintance of yours, right? Didn’t you get him to help rescue Mr. Hawk all those years ago?”

Cecelia gasped in realization. “Wait a second, Jessica! Why does it seem like you don’t recognize Mr. Finnley?”

Stanley immediately sensed something was off. Just moments ago, Jessica had shown nothing but disdain for Finnley, treating him like a complete stranger. [

Stanley fixed his gaze on Jessica. “You don’t recognize Finnley?”

Panic flashed across Jessica’s face. “I was just so young back then. I–1 didn’t remember at first. But now I do. He’s Finnley. Stanley, I’m really not feeling well. Let’s get on with the surgery.”

Lilian, too, had noticed something wasn’t right. She hadn’t expected such a turn of events at such a crucial time. She quickly interjected, “Mr. Hawk, we should proceed with the surgery first. They can catch up afterward.” Edith also urged, “Yes, Mr. Hawk. The surgery is critical to Jessica’s heart. We should focus on that.” Just then, Wendy’s voice, clear and sharp, broke through. “Jessica, are you still pretending at this point?” Halsey smirked. “Your attempts to cover up the truth are pathetic.”

Stanley turned to Wendy, his patience wearing thin. “What exactly are you trying to say?”

Cecelia chimed in. “We’re not trying to say anything. We’re just telling you the truth.”

Stanley’s brow furrowed. “What truth?”

Finnley stepped forward, his eyes locking onto Stanley. “How can you claim that Jessica is your savior?”

Stanley’s mind clicked, and he stiffened. His lips pressed into a cold line. “Isn’t she?”

Finnley slapped his thigh, exasperated. “No, she isn’t! She’s not the one who saved your life! She’s not the girl from back then!”

The words hit Stanley like a punch to the gut.

Jessica wasn’t his lifesaver.

Jessica wasn’t the girl from the cave.

Although Stanley had already suspected something, Finnley’s words struck him with a force that left him frozen.

His mind went blank, and for a moment, he forgot how to think.

Stanley stared at Jessica in shock, and her face started to blur, twisting into the image of the girl he had met all those years ago.

The Crone family was panicking, and Jessica was on edge, too.

For so long, Jessica had been the Crone family’s trump card, the one who had saved Stanley’s life. Now, that card had been turned over, revealing a truth they weren’t ready for.

Jessica clutched Stanley’s sleeve. “No, don’t listen to them! Finnley’s just confused, and he’s made a mistake! I’m the one who saved you! Don’t you remember the crystal pendant?”

Crystal pendant?

+25 BONUS

Stanley’s mind raced. Yes, Jessica had given him that pendant. But if she wasn’t the girl from that day, then where had the pendant come from?

Stanley pushed Jessica away and took a couple of steps back his voice tense. “Don’t touch me! I’m very confused right now.”
