At that moment, Zayn walked in with a cup of coffee. When he saw the screen on Stanley\u2019s phone, he was stunned. \u2018Did someone actually reject the CEO\u2019s friend request?\u2019<\/p>\n
This was certainly something out of the ordinary.<\/p>\n
\u201cSir, your junior is\u2026quite special,\u201d Zayn said.<\/p>\n
Stanley scoffed. \u2018Special indeed.\u2019<\/p>\n
She was the first person to reject him. If she didn\u2019t want to add him, so be it.<\/p>\n
Stanley picked up the coffee and took a sip, only to frown.<\/p>\n
\u201cIs the coffee not to your liking, sir? I\u2019ll make another cup,\u201d Zayn asked.<\/p>\n
Stanley suddenly remembered the coffee Wendy used to make\u2014it was always just right for his taste.<\/p>\n
With an impassive expression, Stanley said, \u201cWrite an eight-figure check. That\u2019s my divorce settlement for Wendy.\u201d<\/p>\n
She said she wanted to leave with nothing, but he didn\u2019t believe it for a second. A girl from the countryside who had stopped schooling at sixteen\u2014how would she make a living? She was just playing hard to get, hoping for more money.<\/p>\n
This eight-figure check was enough to buy out her three years. After that, they owed each other nothing.<\/p>\n
Zayn nodded. \u201cYes, sir.\u201d<\/p>\n
Just then, Zayn\u2019s phone rang. He answered and was thrilled. \u201cSir, great news! Dr. Ceylan has accepted our request and agreed to perform the heart surgery for Miss Jessica!\u201d<\/p>\n
Dr. Ceylan was a legendary figure in the medical world, known for her extraordinary skills. Even top-tier billionaires had to wait in line to see her.<\/p>\n
However, three years ago, Dr. Ceylan had mysteriously disappeared, and no one knew where she went.<\/p>\n
Now, she was back.<\/p>\n
Jessica had suffered from a heart disease since childhood and had undergone treatments, but nothing worked.<\/p>\n
Now, Stanley had used his immense wealth to secure Dr. Ceylan\u2019s services for Jessica.<\/p>\n
The crease between Stanley\u2019s brows finally smoothed out, and he smiled. Jessica would be saved.<\/p>\n
\u2013<\/p>\n
The next day, Wendy arrived at the naturopathy center.<\/p>\n
Suddenly, a group of black-clad bodyguards entered in an orderly formation, creating a path. Wendy and other bystanders were pushed aside.<\/p>\n
Two young women nearby were chatting.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat\u2019s going on?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cDon\u2019t you know? Hovendale\u2019s Red Rose, the prima ballerina Jessica, felt unwell while dancing today. Mr. Hawk brought her here to see a doctor.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWith Mr. Hawk around, no wonder it\u2019s such a big fuss.\u201d<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s lashes trembled. She hadn\u2019t expected to encounter Stanley and Jessica at the naturopathy center today.<\/p>\n
\u201cLook, there\u2019s Mr. Hawk and Jessica!\u201d<\/p>\n
Wendy glanced up, and Stanley\u2019s tall, handsome figure came into view. He was dressed in a custom-tailored black suit, exuding an air of elegance and dominance.<\/p>\n
He carried Jessica in his arms.<\/p>\n
Doctors and nurses from the naturopathy center flocked around them, fawning over them like stars orbiting a moon.<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hawk, this way, please.\u201d<\/p>\n
Stanley strode forward.<\/p>\n
One of the young women gushed, \u201cWow, Mr. Hawk is so handsome! He\u2019s the epitome of a domineering CEO.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cAnd Jessica\u2019s so beautiful, with her fair skin and graceful ballerina aura. They truly are the perfect couple!\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cA dashing, noble CEO and a delicate, enchanting dancer\u2014ahh, I\u2019m dying over their fairy-tale love story!\u201d<\/p>\n
Wendy and Stanley\u2019s marriage was a secret, known only to a select few. Most people were shipping Stanley and Jessica.<\/p>\n
Wendy watched Stanley disappear from her sight. Just now, he hadn\u2019t even noticed her; his eyes were only on Jessica. She was nothing more than a supporting character in their fairy tale.<\/p>\n
Reeling in her emotions, Wendy followed her appointment instructions and found ward Number 109.<\/p>\n
Soon, she saw Stanley, Jessica, Harry, and Lilian inside.<\/p>\n
Jessica was already sitting on the hospital bed, surrounded by Harry and Lilian on either side. Just like in their childhood, they pampered Jessica like a princess.<\/p>\n
\u201cJessica, this is great!\u201d Harry said happily. \u201cMr. Hawk managed to secure Dr. Ceylan to treat you.\u201d<\/p>\n
Lilian was moved to tears. \u201cJessica, you\u2019ve been through so much! But now, everything will be fine. Once Dr. Ceylan cures your heart, you\u2019ll be healthy and can marry Mr. Hawk as his bride.\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica gave Stanley a sweet smile.<\/p>\n
Stanley, tall and imposing, stood by her side, gently patting her head.<\/p>\n
The scene of the four of them together was harmonious.<\/p>\n
Wendy froze at the door. She couldn\u2019t believe how small the world was\u2014Samuel had assigned her the heart surgery case, and it turned out to be Jessica.<\/p>\n
The heartwarming scene inside made Wendy\u2019s eyes sting slightly.<\/p>\n
At that moment, Stanley seemed to sense something. He turned, and his deep, sharp gaze landed squarely on her.<\/p>\n
Wendy was caught off guard and met his gaze.<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s gaze narrowed as he immediately strode over to her. \u201cWendy, what are you doing here?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2026\u201d Wendy began.<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s voice turned icy. \u201cWendy, are you following me?\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cI-I\u2019m not,\u201d Wendy replied.<\/p>\n
Harry and Lilian noticed Wendy too.<\/p>\n
\u201cWendy, why are you here? Today, we invited the legendary Dr. Ceylan to treat your sister! How could you come here and cause trouble at a time like this?\u201d Lilian yelled.<\/p>\n
Harry\u2019s expression darkened. \u201cWendy, you\u2019re so inconsiderate. Leave immediately!\u201d<\/p>\n
Jessica said nothing. She sat on the bed, her gaze haughty and radiant as she glanced at Wendy.<\/p>\n
At that moment, Stanley\u2019s imposing figure leaned closer. He grabbed Wendy\u2019s slender arm.<\/p>\n
His voice was cold and dismissive. \u201cWendy, are you still playing hard to get? Have you not had enough of this? Now you\u2019re resorting to stalking? Stop wasting your time on me. Leave!\u201d<\/p>\n
