Chapter 502
The kidnappers and Cary exchanged glances. Their composure finally cracked.
“Mr. Hawk, I’ll talk!” Cary was the first to speak.
Stanley’s lips curled into a faint smile. “Good. Then speak. Who sent you? Who ordered all of this?”
Cary swallowed hard. “Mr. Hawk, someone offered a large sum of money to buy the baby in Wendy’s womb. That person is-
But before he could finish the name, Cary suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.
Stanley’s expression changed instantly, “Someone! Get in here!”
A medical team rushed into the room to check on him.
Before they could finish, the rest of the kidnappers began to spit up blood as well, collapsing to the floor one by
one.
One of the doctors stood up, his face grave. “Mr. Hawk, it’s no use. They’ve been poisoned. None of them will be able to speak.”
Stanley’s sharp, chiseled features darkened with cold fury.
Zayn leaned in and muttered, “Mr. Hawk, looks like the person behind all this made their move ahead of time. Once the job was done, they didn’t see any reason to keep these people alive. Whoever’s behind this is cruel.”
Stanley hadn’t expected the mastermind to be bold enough to pull this under his nose.
Now that all the leads were gone, there was no one left to question.
He stood up and walked out of the room.
Glinda and Halsey were waiting for him.
“Did you find anything? Who’s behind it all?” Glinda asked
Stanley shook his head.
Zayn stepped forward and quickly explained everything that had happened inside.
Glinda slammed her cane against the floor and let out a sharp huff. “Her methods are vicious. I really underestimated her!”
Halsey gritted his teeth. “Now there’s no way to trace anything back. It’s infuriating!”
They had been so close to getting answers. And now, the trail had gone completely cold.
Just then, Cyril walked over. “Dr. Ceylan is awake!”
Glinda’s and Halsey’s eyes lit up. “Wendy’s awake? That’s wonderful! Let’s go see her!”
The two of them hurried off toward the hospital room.
Stanley stood frozen for a moment. Wendy was awake?
Then he turned and quickly followed behind them.
Inside the ward, Wendy was already sitting up in bed. Glinda and Halsey stood at her sides, one on the left, one on the right.

“Wendy, thank goodness! You’re finally awake. You’ve really scared us,” Glinda said with teary relief, Wendy saw their worried faces and managed to lift the corners of her pale lips. “I’m okay. Oh, is Cecella…” Halsey quickly reached out and held her hand. “Don’t worry Wendy. She’s right next door. I checked in on her. She’s fine. The doctors said she had only inhaled some kind of sleeping gas. She’ll wake up by tomorrow morning.” Relief flooded Wendy’s face. What she feared most was having dragged her friend into danger.
She placed a gentle hand over her still–flat belly. She had checked her pulse earlier–thankfully, the baby was safe
too.
They had come through it all without disaster.
Glinda’s tone turned slightly ster
Wendy met Glinda’s eyes.
“Why didn’t you tell me you were pregnant? I had to hear it from someone else.
She knew how much Glinda had longed for a great–grandchild, but given how tense things were between her and Stanley, telling the truth would’ve only made things more difficult.
“I’m sorry, Grandma…” Wendy said quietly.
“Silly girl,” Glinda murmured, gently touching Wendy’s stomach. “I should be the one thanking you. You’re carrying the next generation of the Hawk family.” 1
Just then, Halsey noticed the tall figure standing in the doorway. “Mr. Hawk, why are you just standing out there?”
Wendy looked up and saw him–Stanley–his tall frame still and silent by the door.
He was looking right at her.
Their eyes met, and neither one looked away.
