But she still couldn t sleep Soon there was a soft knock at the door signaling that someone had arrived
Who could it be this time
Wendy opened the hospital door to find Z ayn standing outside looking hurried Mrs Hawk
Wendy stepped outside Z ayn what s going on Why are you here
Z ayn s face was filled with urgency Mr Hawk has been drugged by the Crone family You need togo to Imperial Garden and check on him
But didn the tell you to find a virgin I m not going Went ly said turning togo back into her room
Mrs Hawk Z ayn called after her What Mr Hawk said about finding someone else he was just saying that out of anger You can tell can t you
Wendy hesitated for a moment her hand still on the door handle
“Mrs.Hawk,whenwewereattheresort,Mr.Lowetooktheknifeforyou.Butyoucan’t onlyfocusonhowheprotectedyou.YoualsoneedtoseethatMr.Hawkhurthishandtryingtoprotectyou!”Zayn’svoicewasfirm.
Wendy slowly turned to face him His hand has nothing to do with me
Z ayn immediately pulled out his phone unlocking a video Mrs Hawk watch this for yourself

“Wendy!”
“Wendy!”
In the video Stanley and Nathan shouted her name in unison both of them sprinting toward her
Wendy stood frozen her mind racing The chaos of that night had made everything blurry and without this video she would have never known the truth
Stanley had never mentioned it to her She never imagined that Stanley would save her
Why Why would he do that Hadn the always hated her
“Wendy…Myharthurts.”

Zaynhesitated.”You’llhavetoaskhimthatyourself, Mrs.Hawk,butIthinkMr.Hawkmighthavedevelopedfeelingsforyou.”
He had feelings for her Stanley
Howcouldthatbe?
Wendy had never dared to consider that possibility The promise in the cave all those years ago he had long forgotten it and only she still held on to it
He didn t want her anymore but here she was standing by his side
She had always followed wherever he went hoping that he could give some of his inaccessible love to her
Yet all the love he had was poured out for Jessica
Could he really fall for her
At Imperial Garden Stanley s at on the couch in the living room He pulled the tie from around his neck and crumpled it into a ball before tossing it aside His handsome face was dark and unreadable the mood heavy with tension
Suddenly there was a soft click and the door to Imperial Garden opened Someone stepped inside
