Stanley’s voice was urgent. “You’ve already closed for the day? I had an appointment with my fiancée to get our marriage license today!!
The clerk nodded. “We closed a while ago. Is your fiancée a fair skinned, pretty young lady?”
The staff remembered Wendy well.
Stanley nodded. “That’s her! She’s my fiancée.”
The clerk gave him a stern ok. “Well, you really deserve a scolding! Your fiancée waited for you all day inside the courthouse, and you never showed up. Getting your marriage license is a big deal. How could you just leave her hanging like that?”
Waited for him all day…?
Stanley’s worry deepened. “I got held up with something today.”
“We closed, and your fiancée left. You’ll have to go find her yourself.” “Alright. Thank you.”
Stanley dashed outside, then turned and jumped into his luxury car
He grabbed his phone. His missed calls list was full–dozens of calls from Wendy, all unanswered.
He wanted to slap himself. How could he have made Wendy wait an entire day? How could he miss the chance to get their marriage license? How could he ignore all those calls from her?
Without hesitation, Stanley called Wendy back.
The ringing tone echoed endlessly, but no one answered.
“Wendy, please pick up… Come on, pick up!”
Still nothing.
Wendy didn’t answer.
A cold weight settled in Stanley’s chest. He had fought so hard for this chance, and now he had missed it.
He tried calling again, but suddenly a sharp, unbearable pain exploded in his head.
At that moment, Jessica appeared, stepping close beside him. “Hey, Stanley.”
He looked at her, startled. “What are you doing here?”
Jessica smiled slightly. “I’m here to find you. Wherever you are, that’s where I’ll be.”
“Go away!”
Stanley tried to push her aside, but the headache hit him again, stronger than before.
Jessica didn’t expect the Heartchain Curse from Ida to be this brutal–it was worse than poison. She quickly reached out to steady him, her voice full of concern. “What’s wrong? Are you down with something?”
“Don’t touch me. Stay away!”
He struggled to push her away, but then, as if by magic, the stabbing pain began to ease the moment Jessica w
- ar.
Jessica studied Stanley carefully. “You look pale–you must be sick Let me take you to the hospital.”
Stanley shoved her away. “I don’t need your help! I have to find Wendy!”

He took a few steps forward, but the headache crashed down on hi again.
Whenever he thought about finding Wendy, the pain surged.
But as long as Jessica stayed by his side, the pain would fade.
Jessica’s lips curled into a determined smile. “You have to take care of yourself. Stop trying to find Wendy. I’ll take you to the hospital.”
Stanley’s eyes glistened with tears. “No! I have to find her!”
He had to explain everything to Wendy. She inust be heartbroken since he didn’t show up at the courthouse. He couldn’t let her
- be.
He had to find her!
Fighting through the stabbing pain, Stanley took firm steps forward, but the headache quickly returned, fiercer than ever.
His head felt like it was about to explode.
His vision darkened, and with a heavy thud, he collapsed to the ground. 4
