Chapter 520
Halsey shook his head in disbelief. “Mr. Hawk, you’ve made such a terrible mistake! Wendy’s the girl from back then. How could you mistake Jessica for Wendy?”
Cecelia added, “Yes! You and Wendy missed each other. And in the process, you caused her so much pain, all while being completely unaware of it.”
The girl from that time was Wendy.
It had never been Jessica, but Wendy!
Stanley’s long fingers suddenly clenched into a fist. How could this be? The girl from that time was Wendy.
He had been looking in the wrong direction. All these years, he had been pampering the wrong person.
Wendy looked at Stanley and said slowly, “Yes, it was me.”
Stanley froze, his tall frame suddenly stiffening.
Wendy’s pale eyes slowly filled with tears, her voice thick with emotion.
“I was the girl who saved you in that cave. Where did you go after that? Do you know how long I waited for you? I waited for you for so, so long. You promised me you would take me away. You said you’d give me a home, you said you’d never leave me. I kept your promises in my heart all these years.”
Stanley was speechless, the words caught in his throat. In front of him, Wendy’s delicate face finally merged with the girl from the cave in his memories.
He still remembered the promises he had made to her back then.
Wendy’s eyes, red from crying, shimmered with tears.
“I waited for you, but you never came, so I went looking for you.
“I followed your footsteps, traveled long distances, and passed through many cities. I saw your photo in a window in Harfield. I then learned your name. I learned everything about you.
“Then, I heard you were in a coma. The Crones wanted me to marry you in Jessica’s place, so I came. Stanley, I’ve crossed mountains and rivers just to be by your side.”
Back then, Stanley hadn’t been able to take Wendy with him, so Wendy went to find him.
It had taken over ten years.
Wendy walked a long, long way, and finally, she was here, by his side.
Stanley listened in disbelief, unable to process what he was hearing. He had never brought her home.
He had left her alone, stranded.
While he had kept Jessica by his side, he had left Wendy alone in the world.
She had come to him, but he hadn’t even recognized her.

Stanley’s heart felt as though it had been pierced by a sharp blade, twisting mercilessly. It caused an unbearable pain, one that consumed him entirely.
Stanley stepped forward, reaching out to grip Wendy’s shoulder. “Wendy, I’m so sorry… I didn’t know it was you…”

Chapter 540.
Wendy looked at Stanley, a small smile forming on her lips lespite the tears. “I used to resent you, and I hated you. I resented you for forgetting me. I hated you for being so cold.”
Stanley’s eyes went red, and he tightly gripped Wendy’s shoulders, shaking his head desperately. “No, I never forgot you… Wendy, I made a mistake. I mistook Jessica for you.”
Jessica watched in despair as Stanley and Wendy finally learned the truth. The worst thing she had feared had
come to pass.
What now? What should she do now?
Edith, Lilian, Harry, and Trish all stood there, their faces drained of color. They had come full of pride, thinking that Jessica’s heart surgery would mark a fresh start.
Now, it seemed that the surgery wasn’t the beginning of something new, but the start of their descent into an abyss.
Stanley and Wendy had finally reunited. No matter how hard they tried to stop it, fate had already decided their paths.
Stanley and Wendy had finally found their way back to each other.
