Wendy sat on the couch for a long time, lost in thought.
Finally, she stood up and headed for the hospital.
She needed to think about the situation with the baby, but for now, the had to meet Jessica
Half an hour later, Wendy arrived at Jessica’s VIP ward and saw her lying on the
Jessica smiled, her lips curving up. “Hey, Wendy You got here pretty fast!
Wendy glanced at Jessica’s pale face. “Your heart is getting worse. If you faint again next time, it could be life- threatening. So, I figured I should visit. Who knows? It might be the last time
Jessica was silent, feeling the sting of Wendy’s words.
She finally realized why her heart condition had worsened Wendy had to be the one causing
Jessica took a deep breath to steady her emotions. “You don’t have to worry about that. Stanley already found a heart that matches mine. He’ll save me.”
Wendy raised an eyebrow. “So what if he found it? Does the person even agree to save you? Without his or her consent, it’d be illegal.”
Jessica fell silent again.
At that moment, Lilian spoke up. “I’m sure that person will agree.”
Wendy turned to look at Lilian, a wry smile on her lips. “Is that person you? Congratulations, then. I’m sure you’d be more than happy to offer your heart to save Jessica.”
Lilian was taken aback by the comment. Was Wendy really losing it?
Jessica’s patience snapped. “It’s not her. I’m sure you’re curious about who that person is. Actually, I can

Wendy studied the two of them carefully. She could tell that Jessica had called her to the hospital for a reason. And now that they were talking about a matching heart.
Wendy’s sharp gaze focused on Jessica. “Is that person me?
Both Jessica and Lilian chuckled, impressed with how quickly Wendy figured it out.
Jessica nodded. “That’s right. It’s you!”
The two of them grinned, exchanging glances as they looked at Wendy.
Wendy was actually quite surprised. She hadn’t expected her heart to match Jessica’s. It seemed fate had already bound them together tightly.
Wendy’s lips curled into a small smirk. “Well then, you’re as good as dead, Jessica–and it’s going to be my doing.
Jessica’s face faltered. “What?”
Wendy’s smile only widened. “Am I wrong? I won’t save you. Just sit there and wait to die.”
Jessica was at a loss for words.
Wendy stood up. “Alright, I’ve said what I needed to. I’m leaving now.”

She started to turn and walk away.
“Wendy!” Jessica called after her. “It doesn’t matter if you refuse! Do you think Stanley will refuse?”
Wendy’s steps froze as she paused.
Jessica seemed to regain her confidence. “Stanley won’t just let me die! Now that your heart matches mine perfectly and you can save me, what do you think Stanley will do?”
Wendy honestly had no idea. What would Stanley d

Just then, the door to the room creaked open. Stanley’s tall, handsome figure appeared in the doorway. He had returned.
Stanley hadn’t expected Wendy to be there. When he saw her, his gaze softened for a moment, taken aback by her ethereal beauty.
Wendy looked up at him, and their eyes met. For a moment, neither of them spoke.
“Hey, you’re back. I’m craving an apple. Could you peel one for me?” Jessica said sweetly, her voice a little playful. Stanley tore his eyes away from Wendy’s face and walked over to Jessica. “Sure.”
Jessica looked triumphantly at Wendy, as if to show off.
Wendy glanced at Jessica. “Jessica, your heart isn’t in the best shape. Maybe you should cut back on apples.” Stanley blinked, clearly thrown off by the comment.
Jessica stared at Wendy, equally speechless.
Wendy’s gaze then shifted to Stanley’s handsome face. “Could you step outside for a moment? I need to talk to you.
