Chapter 516
Halsey and Cecella, standing next to Wendy, looked at Jessica with the same sharp, calculating expression, as if to say, “Enjoy your moment now, but just wait! Your time will come.”
Jessica frowned Immediately.
Why did she feel like something was off about Wendy today
Something didn’t feel right. Wendy was acting very strangely.
It wasn’t until now that jessica realized how odd it was that Wendy had suddenly agreed to perform her heart surgery. Something was amiss.
Could Wendy have discovered something?
However, Jessica quickly pushed the thought aside.
No, it couldn’t be. If Wendy had found out anything, she would have told Stanley. And yet, Wendy’s side had been eerily quiet.
Jessica tried to calm herself down, deciding she was probably just overthinking. Soon, she would be undergoing her surgery, and her beautiful new life would begin.
At that moment, Trish spoke up.
“Mr. Hawk.”
Jessica turned around and saw Stanley, his tall, handsome figure standing there.
Stanley had arrived.
She walked toward him, a smile spreading across her face as she linked her arm with his. “Stanley, you’re here!” Stanley glanced at her briefly, but his eyes quickly moved to Wendy’s face.
Wendy met his gaze. “Mr. Hawk, today is the day of our deal. As we agreed, I need to see Samuel before the surgery. Where is he?”
Jessica immediately chuckled. “You two seem to have a great relationship. You talk about him all the time.”
With a playful smile, she turned to Stanley. “I’m sure Wendy misses Mr. Samuel a lot. Why don’t you let him come out?”
Cecelia, clearly irritated, shot a glare at Jessica. She couldn’t stand how Jessica was trying so hard to get attention.
Stanley looked at Wendy and said calmly, “I always keep my word.”
He raised a hand slightly. Zayn appeared at once, bringing Samuel with him.
Wendy’s eyes lit up at the sight of him. “Samuel!”
Samuel, dressed in a a warm maple–colored coat, looked handsome and well–groomed. He radiated vigor, and as soon as he saw Wendy, he spread his arms wide. “Hey, Wendy.”
Wendy eagerly ran to him, and Samuel embraced her tightly.
“Are you okay? Did he mistreat you?” she asked with concern.
Samuel smiled warmly. “Nah. Mr. Hawk has been a gracious host. He has treated me very well these past few days.

Wendy smiled softly. “That’s good to hear.”
Stanley watched the scene of Wendy and Samuel embracing and an overwhelming sense of irritation surged through him. His hands, hanging at his sides, clenched into fists.
Samuel, still holding Wendy’s shoulders, stepped toward Stanley. “Thanks for your hospitality these past few days. If you ever come to Florias, I’ll be sure to return the favor.”
The two men stood facing each other, their eyes locked in a tense, electric stare.
Stanley’s face remained as composed as ever, his expression a mask of indifference. He said softly, “I’m afraid you
won’t have that chance.”
Jessica, eager to move things along, interjected, “Wendy, you’ve seen Mr. Samuel. According to our agreement, you can perform my surgery now.”
Wendy’s lips curledinto a small, knowing smile. “Of course Mr. Hawk has kept his promise, so I’ll keep mine. Let’s go. It’s time for the surgery.”
Finally, it was time!
Jessica’s eyes sparkled with excitement. She had reached this moment, and Wendy would be the one to help restore her health.
Edith grasped Jessica’s hand gently. “We’ll all be waiting for you out here, waiting for you to return healthy.”
