Chapter 188\u00a0<\/p>\n
Nathan was doing fine, and his condition was stable.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The nurse left, and soon, Zayn\u2019s voice could be heard from outside the room.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cMr. Hawk, you really need to take care of that hand. If you don\u2019t get it treated soon, it could be permanently damaged.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy looked up. She noticed Stanley\u2019s tall, handsome figure standing by the door. He had been there all along.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zayn, glancing at Wendy, added urgently, \u201cMrs. Hawk, Mr. Hawk\u2019s hand is still bleeding. Please, just say something.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy noticed the blood staining the floor. His hand would likely need a lot of stitches.\u00a0<\/p>\n
She stood up and walked toward the door.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s eyes lit up as he saw her approach. His tall frame shifted slightly, his face showing a flicker of hope.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zayn, relieved, said, \u201cI knew it! Mrs. Hawk still cares about you. Mr. Hawk, you really should-\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
But before he could finish, Wendy reached out and shut the door with a firm slam.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The door nearly hit Zayn and Stanley\u2019s faces, sending a cold draft through the gap.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Zayn stood there, momentarily stunned, unsure of how to react.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s gaze dimmed, the light in his eyes vanishing instantly. He looked through the small window in the door and saw Wendy return to Nathan\u2019s bedside. She held Nathan\u2019s hand and soon fell asleep with her head resting on the edge of the bed.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley gave a bitter, self\u2013mocking smile.\u00a0<\/p>\n
A week passed, and Nathan had made a remarkable recovery. Stanley knew Nathan had fully regained consciousness by now.\u00a0<\/p>\n
In his office at Hawk Group, Stanley was reviewing documents when his phone rang. It was Glinda calling.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Since the last time Glinda had been out with Wendy for a milkshake and a foot massage, she had been grounded and forbidden from leaving the house.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cHello, Grandma,\u201d Stanley answered.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStanley, what have you and Wendy been up to? Why haven\u2019t you been coming home to see me lately? Come home for dinner tonight. I miss you two.\u201d Glinda\u2019s loving voice came through the line.\u00a0<\/p>\n
There was still a bandage wrapped around his left hand\u2014he had 23 stitches, and the wound was still healing. He held the phone with his right hand, silent.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He knew Wendy had spent the entire week at the hospital, never leaving Nathan\u2019s side.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cStanley, did you hear me? I said, bring Wendy home for dinner tonight,\u201d Glinda urged.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley\u2019s expression remained unreadable, his tone flat. \u201cYeah, okay.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

That evening, Stanley returned to the Hawk family\u2019s estate\u00a0<\/p>\n
Glinda greeted him happily, but her smile faltered when she saw he was alone. \u201cStanley, why are you here alone? Where\u2019s Wendy?\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley had driven home by himself.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He noticed the disappointment on Glinda\u2019s face and replied \u201cGrandma, she\u2019s busy with school. If you miss her, you can call her and ask her to come home for dinner.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Without hesitation, Glinda picked up the landline in the living room. \u201cI\u2019ll call her right now.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Stanley sank into the couch and casually picked up a business newspaper to read.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Glinda\u2019s call quickly connected, and Wendy\u2019s clear, melodious voice came through the line. \u201cHey, Grandma.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
Glinda smiled warmly. \u201cWendy, you\u2019ve been so busy lately, haven\u2019t you? You never come to see me. Tonight, I\u2019ve had a big dinner prepared, so come home and join me for dinner.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
At that moment, a maid entered, setting a cup of tea next to Stanley. \u201cMr. Hawk, please have some tea.\u201d Stanley didn\u2019t react, as if he hadn\u2019t heard her.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Wendy\u2019s voice returned, this time tinged with regret. \u201cGrandma, I\u2019m sorry, but I have a friend in the hospital. I need to stay with him tonight, so I won\u2019t be able to come for dinner.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n
