Stanley said that he and Wendy were done.
Jessica was overjoyed, throwing herself into Stanley’s arms and clinging to him tightly.
“Stanley, I know Wendy’s great at seducing men. I don’t blame you for developing feelings for her, but I know you’ll always choose me. The one you really love is still me!‘
Yes, Stanley had developed some feelings for Wendy, but the one he loved most, the one who truly had his heart, was Jessica–his girl from the cave.
Stanley reached out and embraced Jessica in return.
Harry looked on with a proud smile, relieved to see Jessica so happy. If she was happy, then as her father, he was happy too.
Lilian, too, seemed content, but her eyes flashed with bitterness as her thoughts turned to Wendy.
She had never imagined that a country girl like Wendy could make Stanley even a little bit interested in her. That little troublemaker!
Wendy arrived at the hospital, and Nathan had already packed his things, ready to leave.
“Nathan, I’m sorry. I had something to take care of, that’s why I’m late.” Wendy apologized sincerely.
Nathan flashed a grin. “No worries. Let’s go.”
“Alright, I’ll grab the luggage.”
Wendy moved to take the bags, but they were too heavy. With her body still sore and weak, she stumbled, almost losing her balance.
“Wendy, be careful!”
Nathan quickly reached out, catching her around the waist. The two of them tumbled back onto the bed.
Nathan ended up on top of Wendy.
At that moment, a tall and imposing figure appeared at the doorway–it was Stanley.
Jessica and Nathan were in the same hospital, and since Nathan was being discharged, Stanley had come to visit him. But when Stanley arrived at the door, he saw Nathan on top of Wendy in an incredibly intimate position.
Stanley froze for a moment, his tall frame rigid.
Last night, Wendy had rejected him so clearly, and he hadn’t forgotten it. But here she was, tangled up with Nathan on the bed.
He let out a cold, bitter laugh, his lips curling into a mocking smile. The anger inside him boiled as he turned and walked away.
Nathan looked down at Wendy, concern etched on his face. “Wendy, are you alright?”
Wendy shook her head, still shaken from the surprise. “I’m fine.”
Nathan immediately released her, and they both sat up. “The luggage can wait. I’ll have the driver carry it.”

Wendy nodded, but just then, a voice echoed from outside the room. “Mr. Hawk.”
Wendy’s heart skipped a beat. Stanley? Was he here at this hospital?
She quickly got up and ran out of the room. In the hallway ahead, she saw Stanley’s distinguished figure.
“Stanley!” she called out, her voice loud and clear.
Stanley seemed not to hear, his back still turned as he walked away without stopping.
“Stanley!” Wendy called again, hurrying to catch up.
But just as she was closing in, a nurse wheeled a cart toward her. “Excuse me! Please move aside!”
Wendy didn’t have time to avoid it and was knocked into by the cart.
“Wendy!” Nathan rushed forward and grabbed her, his voice filled with panic. “Wendy, are you hurt?”
Wendy’s arm had struck the cart, tearing the skin and drawing blood.
When she looked up again, Stanley’s figure had disappeared down the hallway.
Wendy’s heart sank as she looked at her bleeding arm, her thoughts clouded with confusion and pain.

Back at the girls‘ dorm, Wendy lay on her bed, texting Cecelia on WhatsApp.
[Cecelia, a friend of mine was a virgin, and after she slept with her husband for the first time, the husband hasn’t contacted her or paid any attention to her. What does that mean?]
Wendy was still new to romantic relationships, and Stanley was her first.
After their night together, his cold and distant attitude left her confused. She couldn’t understand what he was thinking.
