Chapter 215
Stanley froze for a moment.
Wendy fainted from taking what?
A morning–after pill?
He wanted to ask more, but before he could, he heard a few beeps, indicating Halsey had hung up the phone.
Jessica, who had overheard the conversation, looked at Stanley in shock. “Stanley, Wendy fainted after taking a morning–after pill?”
Stanley didn’t answer. He immediately pushed Jessica away from him.
“I’m going to Clavendale University,” he said quickly, his voice tight with urgency.
He rushed out the door.
Jessica turned to Lilian, her confusion evident. “Mom, what’s going on? Nothing happened between Stanley and Wendy. Why would she take a morning–after pill?”
Lilian didn’t know what to think either, but her face grew serious. “I’ll find out what happened.”
Stanley arrived at Clavendale University as quickly as possible, heading straight to the school’s medical office. “You’re finally here! Please, look at Wendy!” Halsey pulled Stanley over to the bed.
Stanley lowered his gaze, taking in the sight of Wendy lying on the bed. Her body curled slightly, and even in her weakened state, she looked fragile and pitiable, more delicate than ever.
At that moment, Wendy trembled slightly and opened her eyes.
“Wendy, you’re awake,” Halsey said gently, helping her sit up.
Wendy blinked, surprised. “What are you doing here?”
Stanley, tall and imposing, stood quietly, his face hard to read.
“Halsey called me,” he said shortly.
Wendy had never expected that her allergic reaction to morning–after pills would lead Halsey to call Stanley. She turned to Halsey, clearly upset. “Halsey, you shouldn’t have-”
Halsey didn’t let her finish. “Wendy, you were allergic to the morning–after pill. Of course I called Mr. Hawk! He needs to take responsibility for this!”
She then turned to Stanley, her tone accusatory. “Birth control pills are already harmful to a woman’s body, and Wendy’s allergic reaction only makes things worse. If you don’t want children, then make sure you take precautions next time! Don’t just enjoy yourself and make Wendy suffer the consequences!”
Wendy’s pale face flushed with embarrassment and anger.
“Halsey, stop it,” she whispered.
Stanley looked down at Wendy coldly. He wasn’t speaking to her, but to Halsey. “You can leave now.”
“Alright, I’ll give you two some space,” Halsey said, stepping out of the room.

Now, it was just Stanley and Wendy alone together. Wendy shifted uncomfortably, unsure whether he thought she had planned all of this and intentionally involved Halsey to make him take responsibility.
“1“Wendy spoke up, but Stanley cut her off, cold and direct.
“Have you been spending a lot of time with Nathan?” he asked, his eyes narrowing as he studied her.
Wendy was caught off guard. What kind of question was that?
She had been at the hospital taking care of Nathan.
“Yes,” she answered with a slight nod.
Stanley sneered, his lips curling into a dismissive smile.
So, she took the morning–after pill for Nathan. Did they not use protection?
The coldness in Stanley’s gaze deepened, mixed with mockery.
“Why did you take a morning–after pill?” he asked, his voice tinged with disdain.
Wendy looked down. “I don’t want to get pregnant.”
She didn’t want to get pregnant.
Stanley’s expression softened for just a moment. “I see. You’re right to take the pill. It’s fine for us to see other people, but if you end up pregnant, don’t expect me to take responsibility for it.”
Wendy’s heart sank, her mind racing.
What was he talking about? Wild thoughts raced through her–what did he mean by “don’t expect me to take responsibility“?
The warmth that had filled her chest vanished, replaced by a chilling emptiness. Her hands suddenly felt cold, her body growing numb.
Stanley’s thin lips twisted into a mocking smile. “After all this, you still had the nerve to call me? Never do that again.”
