Chapter 505
“Jessica took the crystal pendant?”
“That thief! She’ll stop at nothing!”
Glinda and Halsey fumed, their voices dripping with anger.
Wendy gave a small, mocking smile. “Does she really think she’ll be safe once she takes the crystal pendant? The truth will always come out, no matter how hard you try to hide it. Let’s go back to the hospital.”
“Alright.”
In the hospital room, Jessica sat with Lilian, holding her mother’s hand tightly. She asked anxiously, “Mom, did you tell Stanley to come?”
Lilian nodded. “I did. He’s talking to Zayn outside. He’ll be in soon.”
Jessica sighed in relief. “Looks like Stanley still cares about me. Of course, as long as I’m still the one who saved him, he won’t abandon me.”
She glanced at Lilian, a question in her eyes. “Have the kidnappers and the doctor been dealt with?”
Lilian smiled slightly. “Don’t worry. It’s all taken care of. I had them drugged before they even started their task. Even if they’re caught, they won’t be able to speak. No one will ever know we were behind it all–there’s no evidence.”
Lilian had learned from past mistakes; this time, she had spent a small fortune to ensure everything was clean. But Jessica still seemed troubled. “Even with everything going so smoothly, Wendy still managed to escape, and she didn’t lose the baby. I see Glinda’s here, too. I’m afraid Stanley will find out the truth–that the baby is his.”
Lilian’s expression darkened. “Jessica, calm down. Don’t lose your focus. As long as you have his heart, everything will be fine.”
Jessica nodded. “I understand, Mom.”
Just then, Stanley walked into the room.
Jessica immediately put on a weak, fragile expression. “Where did you go earlier? Did you go see Wendy?”
Stanley sat on the edge of the bed, lips pressed together in silence.
Jessica pouted. “My heart is bothering me. Please, don’t run off again. Stay with me. I can’t be away
With that, she wrapped her arms around Stanley’s strong waist, pressing herself against him.
Stanley paused for a moment, his mind filled with the image of Wendy’s fragile, radiant face.
from you.”
He had promised Jessica that he would always choose her, that he would be loyal to her–but he couldn’t control his heart.
He reached out, trying to push Jessica away gently. “If you’re not feeling well, you should lie down.”
“No, I want a hug,” Jessica whined, clinging to him, not letting go.
Suddenly, Lilian’s voice broke through. “Wendy? What are you doing here?”

Stanley turned his head, his eyes widening as he saw Wendy standing by the door, Wendy was here,
He froze.
Lilian quickly stepped forward, feigning concern. “I heard you were kidnapped and taken into surgery. I’ve been so worried about you. Are you okay?“.
Halsey’s voice was cold and biting. “You two really are something, each of you a better actress than the other. Wendy doesn’t need your fake sympathy!”
Lilian glared at Halsey, her irritation clear. “Watch it!”
Lilian couldn’t stand Halsey. If it weren’t for her, Wendy wouldn’t have escaped so easily.
But Halsey was a darling of the Lincoln family, and Lilian couldn’t do anything about it. The feeling of helpless hatred gnawed at her.
Lilian suddenly smiled, her tone sweet but mocking. “Wendy, are you here to see Jessica? Mr. Hawk is sitting with her right now. You can see for yourself.”
Wendy’s clear, sharp eyes locked onto Stanley, who sat on the bed, with Jessica clinging to him tightly.
