Stanley tried to gently push Jessica away but she held on tightly She tilted her head back offering Wendy a bright triumphant smile as she lay in his arms
It was both a taunt and a display of her smug satisfaction
Wendy s expression remained neutral giving nothing away
Jessica continued to look at Wendy a playful edge in her voice Did you come to see me
Wendy didn t respond Instead her gaze shifted to Stanley Mr Hawk I need to talk to you
Stanley hadn t expected Wendy to approach him so directly He started to rise from the bed

No she whined I won t let you leave
Jessica threw a defiant look in Wendy s direction
Wendy s eyes sharp and clear met her s with an icy calmness She gazed down at Jessica with an expression that held at race of mockery
So this was all she had huh

Lilian watching Stanley leave frowned What could Wendy possibly want to talk to Mr Hawk about
Jessica not even a hint of doubt in her eyes responded What could she possibly say She doesn t know about me taking her place and there s no proof that I m behind any of this She s just shamelessly holding on to Stanley trying to make him waver

Wendy had returned to her VIP ward and soon after Stanley arrived
Glinda and Halsey sensing the tension left the room to give them some space
Stanley entered to find Wendy standing by the window her long dark hair flowing softly around her shoulders The pale light caught the strands giving her an almost ethereal glow
She wore a hospital gown but over it she had draped a while coat giving her a fragile delicate appearance Stanley stepped forward for a moment the room was silent the air thick with unspoken words
Stanleybrokethequiet.”You wantedto talk?”
Wendy slowly turned to face him her beautiful clear eyes locking on to his Yes I have a question for you
Stanley raised an eyebrow What s that
Wendy s gaze held steady I want to know about you and Jessica
Stanley hesitated caught off guard He knew Wendy well she wasn t the type to gossip and she had never asked him about his relationship with Jessica before
He replied cautiously What do you want to know

Stanley stall frame tensed Did Halsey tell you that
Wendy nodded Yes she did I heard that years ago when you were injured Jessica saved you in a cave
