Chapter 331
The accident happened so suddenly. Wendy lifted her gaze and saw Stanley’s handsome, distinguished face.
In the split second before the crash, Stanley had thrown himself to the rescue.
Why would he do that?
“Mr. Hawk?”
Their bodies were rapidly tumbling downward, and a large rock was coming up fast. They
were about to crash into it.
Stanley’s strong arms tightly wrapped around Wendy. He whispered, “Hold on to me.”
Without thinking, Wendy clung to Stanley.
A loud “thud” rang out as they collided with the rock, coming to a stop.
Wendy was now on top, with Stanley holding her. She quickly pushed herself up. “Did you hit your head on the rock?”
Just before the collision, Stanley had spun her around with force to protect her, and his head had slammed against the rock with a heavy thud.
She didn’t feel any pain, though, because he had held her so tightly that she wasn’t injured.
Now, Stanley was lying still, his eyes closed, unresponsive.
Wendy was scared. “Mr. Hawk? Mr. Hawk! Open your eyes! Don’t scare me!”
Still, Stanley didn’t respond.
Wendy tried to get up and call for help, but her delicate arm was suddenly grabbed by a large hand. The person gently tugged her back into his embrace,
Stanley’s eyes opened, and he looked at her with a smirk. “Why are you so flustered?”

Stanley’s lips curled into a grin. “Didn’t you say you didn’t love me anymore? Why are you so worried about me? Gotcha now, didn’t I?”
He was pretending?
Wendy was so relieved that she almost burst into tears. She clenched her fist and punched him hard. “Stanley, you’re really annoying!”
Her legs were still weak from the shock. She had truly been scared to the point of losing strength.
Stanley held her tightly. “Don’t move!”
Wendy could tell something wasn’t right in his voice. His face was pale, and it was clear
that his head had really taken a hard hit.
Wendy gently cradled his head, checking both sides. “Are you bleeding? Let me see.”
A head injury was serious.
Stanley felt dizzy. He took her small hand and held it firmly in his. “I’m fine. Stop moving. Let me hold you for a while.”
Wendy stayed still, lying obediently in his arms.
He had been injured while saving her. To say she wasn’t touched would be a lie. Even after
their divorce, he was still here when she was in danger.
“Stanley, next time, don’t save me. I don’t need you to save me.”
What an ungrateful little thing!
Stanley reached up and pinched her little cheek. The snow at the resort was cold, and her fair face had turned rosy from the chill. He pinched her cheek in frustration. “Wendy, can’t you go a day without making me angry?”

Wendy pushed his hand away. “Don’t pinch my face!”

When Stanley saw how distant she was with him, his eyes burned with fury. She wasn’t like this with Lucas. She had been chatting and laughing with him, her smile so sweet.
Stanley let go of her cheek with a painful groan. “My head hurts.”
Wendy immediately grew concerned. “Where does it hurt?”
Stanley pointed to his temple. “Here.”
Wendy leaned in, her small hand gently brushing aside his short, neat hair, revealing a
large, swollen red bump.
He’d really gotten a big lump from the impact.
“Is it here?”
“Yeah.”
“I’ll rub it for you.”
Wendy softly massaged the bump, even gently blowing on it.

Without realizing it, they had gotten very close. She was right there, her face close his as she blew on him. Stanley inhaled deeply, catching the sweet, cedar–scented fragrance of
her youthful skin.
The vivid memory of the passionate dream he had last night surged into his mind, and he
swallowed hard.
