Chapter 185\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was Nathan!\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan had returned with the car, and as soon as he saw someone aiming a knife at Wendy, he lunged forward without hesitation.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The blade pierced deep into his chest.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWendy!\u201d Nathan\u2019s name escaped Wendy\u2019s lips in a sharp gasp.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley, seeing the danger, rushed toward Wendy, but he was still too far away to intervene in time. After watching Nathan take the knife for Wendy, Stanley kicked down two of the black\u2013clad men blocking his path and ran as fast as he could.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Zayn and a group of bodyguards burst onto the scene, surrounding the area.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Outnumbered, Lionel and his men were quickly captured.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Jessica ran toward Stanley and wrapped her arms tightly around him. \u201cStanley!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley was forced to stop. He wanted to push her away and get to Wendy and Nathan, but Jessica clung to him desperately. \u201cDon\u2019t go, Stanley! I\u2019m so scared!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
On the ground, Nathan lay still, a pool of blood spreading around him. Wendy immediately knelt beside him, pressing her hands over the wound, but the blood flowed relentlessly, seeping between her fingers.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her hands trembled. She couldn\u2019t understand why Nathan had taken the knife for her. She was used to people treating her badly, but when someone cared for her, it left her utterly lost.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cNathan, hang in there. You\u2019ll be okay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan\u2019s eyes became glassy, and soon, he slipped into unconsciousness.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The sound of sirens filled the air as an ambulance arrived. Doctors and nurses quickly loaded Nathan onto a stretcher, and Wendy climbed into the ambulance with him heading straight to the hospital.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley, unable to push Jessica away, stood helpless as she clung to him. He watched as Wendy and Nathan disappeared from his sight.\u00a0<\/p>\n
At the hospital, Nathan was wheeled into the operating room, the red light on the door flickering on. Wendy stood outside, pacing nervously.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley arrived soon after, spotting Wendy as she anxiously walked in circles. Her face was pale, streaked with blood, and she looked utterly unsettled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He strode up to her, his voice low and soothing. \u201cDon\u2019t worry. These are the best doctors in the city. Nathan will be fine.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy glanced up at Stanley, her eyes immediately landing on his injured hand.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It was hard not to notice. His left hand was covered in blood and the wound hadn\u2019t been treated, so some of it already beginning to coagulate. His white shirt was stained with blood, and he appeared disheveled.\u00a0<\/p>\n
What had happened to his hand?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley noticed her staring at the wound, and his fingers slightly curled. He stepped closer, his tall frame casting a shadow over her small, pale form: \u201cAre you\u2026\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cStanley!\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, Jessica arrived and immediately linked her arm through Stanley\u2019s.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The question Stanley had intended to ask whether she was hurt\u2013remained unsaid.\u00a0<\/p>\n
When Jessica appeared, Wendy\u2019s gaze shifted away from Stanley\u2019s bloodied hand. She coldly sat down on a bench in the hallway, waiting in silence.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley watched her, the distance between them growing more obvious. The faint sound of his blood dripping onto the floor from his injured hand filled the air\u00a0<\/p>\n
Just then, Zayn arrived in a hurry, speaking in a low voice. Mr. Hawk, the situation with Lionel has been handled. We also found something else at the scene\u2013this photo.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
What photo?\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy stood up, taking the photo from Zayn\u2019s hands.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Her heart stopped when she saw the image of herself in the magenta bikini, her expression frozen in disbelief.\u00a0<\/p>\n
It all made sense now. This whole mess started when she unintentionally overheard Lionel having an affair with his boss\u2019s wife at the hot springs. Lionel had seen her and wanted to silence her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
But there was one thing she couldn\u2019t figure out\u2013how had Lionel recognized her?\u00a0<\/p>\n
