The atmosphere in the hospital corridor was suffocating heavy with tension
Just then the door to the operating room swung open and a doctor in a white coat emerged
Wendy rushed forward her voice shaky Doctor how is he
The surgery was a success He should wake up within 48 hours the doctor replied
Wendy let out a small sigh of relief She had seen Nathan s wound earlier and though the knife hadn t struck any vital organs she still couldn t fully relax until now If something had happened to Nathan because of her she would have never forgiven herself
Soon,Nathanwaswheeledoutof theoperatingroom,andWendyfollowedhimintotheVIPward.Asthedoorshutbehindher,shedidn’tevenglanceatStanley orJessica.
Jessica reached for Stanley s sleeve frustration evident in her voice Stanley Wendy is completely out of control She slapped you and then slapped me You have to
Stanley yanked his sleeve away from her grasp histone sharp as he asked Don t you think you deserved that
Jessica froze her eyes wide in shock
Stanley scold piercing gaze locked on to her as he dropped the photo on to her lap with aloud snap Jessica In ever realized how stupid and malicious you really are You ve truly disappointed me this time
The sting of being called stupid and malicious drained the color from Jessica s face Fear crept into her expression as she quickly tried to explain
Stanley please listen It s true I don t like Wendy but In ever meant for Nathan to get hurt I didn t know things would get this bad
Stanley shoved her away his handsome face tight with barely contained frustration This is the last time Jessica I can t keep cleaning up your messes You need to figure things out on your own
“Stanley,I-”
I don t want to see you Nathan doesn t want you here either Just go

Fuming Jessica clenched her fists She had really dug herself into a hole this time she hadn t taken Wendy down and had managed to push Stanley away instead

With a bitter glance and a fiery red hand print on her cheek Jessica stormed off but she didn t consider it a total loss Stanley still protected her As long as he was her Big Brother she would never truly lose
