Chapter 187

Author: Glazed Snow
The atmosphere in the hospital corridor was suffocating, heavy with tension.

Just then, the door to the operating room swung open, and a doctor in a white coat emerged.

Wendy rushed forward, her voice shaky. "Doctor, how is he?"

"The surgery was a success. He should wake up within 48 hours," the doctor replied.

Wendy let out a small sigh of relief. She had seen Nathan's wound earlier, and though the knife hadn't struck any vital organs, she still couldn't fully relax until now. If something had happened to Nathan because of her, she would have never forgiven herself.

Soon, Nathan was wheeled out of the operating room, and Wendy followed him into the VIP ward. As the door shut behind her, she didn't even glance at Stanley or Jessica.

Jessica reached for Stanley's sleeve, frustration evident in her voice. "Stanley, Wendy is completely out of control! She slapped you and then slapped me. You have to—"

Stanley yanked his sleeve away from her grasp, his tone sharp as he asked, "Don'

    Nathan was doing fine, and his condition was stable.The nurse left, and soon, Zayn's voice could be heard from outside the room. "Mr. Hawk, you really need to take care of that hand. If you don't get it treated soon, it could be permanently damaged."Wendy looked up. She noticed Stanley's tall, handsome figure standing by the door. He had been there all along.Zayn, glancing at Wendy, added urgently, "Mrs. Hawk, Mr. Hawk's hand is still bleeding. Please, just say something."Wendy noticed the blood staining the floor. His hand would likely need a lot of stitches.She stood up and walked toward the door.Stanley's eyes lit up as he saw her approach. His tall frame shifted slightly, his face showing a flicker of hope.Zayn, relieved, said, "I knew it! Mrs. Hawk still cares about you. Mr. Hawk, you really should—"But before he could finish, Wendy reached out and shut the door with a firm slam.The door nearly hit Zayn and Stanley's faces, sending a cold draft through the gap.

    Glinda paused for a moment before quickly smiling and saying, "Alright, Wendy. You stay with your friend. When you have some free time, come back and have dinner with me.""Sure, Grandma," Wendy replied.The two of them ended the call.Glinda glanced at Stanley, who was still reading the business newspaper, his expression unreadable."Stanley, have you fought with Wendy?" Glinda asked.Stanley didn't look up from his paper. "No."Glinda let out a small laugh. "Do you know Wendy's friend? Is it a guy or a girl?"Stanley remained silent.Glinda reached over and snatched the newspaper from his hands. "You know, you've been holding the paper upside down."Stanley noticed for the first time that he had been holding the paper wrong. He pressed his lips together briefly.Glinda sighed and stood up. "I know you've been with that Jessica for a while, but nobody will wait around forever, Stanley. Wendy will eventually get fed up with waiting, and she'll leave. She's great, and you don'

    Wendy was speechless. Trish's voice came through, bubbling with excitement. "Wendy, guess what? Dr. Ceylan, the genius doctor, is actually a man! And get this—he's totally fallen for me. We're dating now!"What?Wendy's mind was spinning. "I can't talk to you right now. I'll tell you more later. But hey, you need to come to come home in a couple of days," Trish said before hanging up the phone abruptly.Wendy was certain now. Trish had to be dealing with some sort of scammer!Wendy took a deep breath and shook her head. She quickly headed to the bathroom for a hot shower. As she stepped out, her phone rang again. This time, it was Luna calling.Luna's voice was filled with desperation, and Wendy could hear her crying. "Wendy, I've run into some trouble. Can you come help me?"Wendy's grip tightened on the phone. "Luna, what's going on?""I'm working at the Gold Vista Hotel as a waitress, and just now, my manager took a liking to me and wanted me to spend the night with him.

    Jake stared at Wendy, his eyes lighting up in surprise. "And where did you come from, pretty girl? You look like an angel."Luna, frightened, hid behind Wendy. "This is my classmate... Mr. Silva, we're students. We're not selling our bodies. Please, leave us alone…""Students, huh? That's even better. I love schoolgirls," Jake said with a lecherous grin, eyeing Wendy hungrily. "Since you're classmates, you two can serve me tonight."With a wave of his hand, Jake instructed his bodyguards dressed in black, "Take them both away."Wendy quickly stepped in front of the trembling Luna, her gaze cold as she stared at Jake. "Kidnapping someone in broad daylight? Don't you realize this is illegal?""Illegal?" Jake burst out laughing, his tone full of arrogance. "In Hovendale, I'm a big shot. I dine with Mr. Hawk, the wealthiest man in town, and you're telling me about the law?"Jake brought up Stanley, the wealthiest man in Hovendale. Wendy hadn't heard from Stanley in days, but everyo

    He said he didn't know her. After speaking, Stanley stepped away, his long legs carrying him forward as he led the businessmen into the luxurious private room. Wendy's body stiffened slightly, the calm she had tried to maintain slipping away. Luna, still hiding behind Wendy, had stopped crying. Her pale face, once colorless, began to warm with a soft blush, her eyes glued to Stanley's tall, handsome figure as she stared after him, mesmerized. Once Stanley was out of sight, Jake turned his attention to Wendy. "Haha! You say you're Mrs. Hawk, but Mr. Hawk doesn't even know you. You're just a liar!" Wendy had no response. Jake wasn't in the mood to waste any more time. "Grab them!" he ordered. The two black-clad bodyguards immediately moved forward again, grabbing Wendy and Luna roughly. Luna struggled in their grasp. "Let go of me!" Wendy appeared calm, as she had a needle and some sleeping powder hidden on her. As soon as they entered the room with Jake, she w

    Stanley wanted Wendy to offer him a drink.Wendy froze, her body tense.Jake, too, stiffened in confusion. What was Stanley doing? Was he interested in Wendy? If that were the case, Jake knew his place. There was no way he'd dare compete with Stanley for a woman."What are you waiting for? Go offer Mr. Hawk the drink," Jake urged impatiently.The other businessmen laughed. "I've seen plenty of girls trying to offer Mr. Hawk a drink, but it's the first time I've seen Mr. Hawk ordering it.""Go on. Don't keep Mr. Hawk waiting."Everyone's eyes were on Wendy now, and she had no choice but to step forward and offer Stanley a drink.Wendy had no idea what Stanley's intentions were, but she could only stand and walk over to him, holding the glass in her hand. "Mr. Hawk, here's to you."As she stood, Stanley sat, and though she was slightly taller, he still looked at her with an air of dominance. His eyes swept over her, careless and indifferent, the gaze of a mature and wealthy bu

    He was intentionally teasing her. The moment she glared at him, it was the first sign of life in her.Stanley's voice was low and commanding. "Beg me, and I'll take you away."Being the experienced businessman he was, he already knew what kind of predicament she was in. He wanted her to speak up and ask him for help.Wendy would never do that.She didn't need him to save her. She didn't want to owe him anything."Mr. Hawk, please let go of me!" Wendy struggled fiercely, forcing herself out of his grasp and standing up from his lap.She didn't want to stay in the room any longer. Without a word, she opened the door to the private room and stepped out.Jake immediately stood up. "Mr. Hawk, can I excuse myself?"Jake wouldn't dare leave without Stanley's permission.Stanley remained silent.The silence was enough of an answer. Jake quickly left.Stanley's handsome face turned cold, his expression darkening.The people in the room noticed the shift. They exchanged looks, uncert

    Stanley yanked open the car's back door and grabbed Jake by the collar, dragging him out.Jake was shaking with fear. "M-Mr. Hawk, what did I do to upset you this much? Please—" Stanley didn't give him a chance to finish. With a swift punch, he slammed his fist into Jake's face.With a loud bang, Jake's body collided with the side of the car.Stanley's muscles flexed beneath his suit as he punched again and again, each blow landing with bone-crushing force, driving Jake into the car. Blood splattered across Jake's face, and he couldn't even beg for mercy anymore.Stanley paused for a moment, his cold gaze sweeping over Jake. "Which hand did you touch her with? This one?"With a sickening crack, Stanley snapped Jake's right arm with ease.Jake collapsed to the ground, his breath ragged and shallow.Just then, Zayn and his men arrived. "Mr. Hawk."Stanley's chiseled features remained taut, his voice icy as he ordered, "Clean this up."Zayn nodded. "Understood."Stanley turned

    At that moment, Edith, Lilian, and Trish all arrived, walking into the hospital room with expressions of surprise and excitement.Edith's eyes sparkled. "The real Dr. Ceylan has really arrived in Hovendale?"Stanley nodded. "Yes, Dr. Ceylan will be attending the dinner tonight."Goodness!The Crone family was buzzing with excitement.Trish, looking starstruck, exclaimed, "The real Dr. Ceylan has finally arrived! The doctor is my idol, my goal—the person I want to be. I can't believe I'm finally going to meet Dr. Ceylan!"Edith added, "Dr. Ceylan is so mysterious, always appearing and disappearing. We've been fooled by the fake Dr. Ceylan before, but now, we'll finally see the doctor's true face."Lilian, too, was curious. "Do you think Dr. Ceylan is a man or a woman?"Jessica shook her head. "I don't know either. We'll have the answer tonight."Edith turned to Stanley with a hopeful look. "Mr. Hawk, can we come with you to the dinner tonight? We all want to meet Dr. Ceylan."S

    Wendy felt that it was time for her to finally show herself. The Crone family had been responsible for her father's death, and it was time to settle those scores once and for all. And then, there was Stanley. He had always wanted to know who Dr. Ceylan really was. Well, now she was ready to tell him.-At the CEO's office in Hawk Group, Stanley sat behind his desk, reviewing documents. His hand moved swiftly with a pen as he signed his name in the bottom corner of each page with a sharp, decisive stroke.Just then, the door opened, and Zayn entered quietly. "Mr. Hawk, we've received news about Dr. Ceylan."Stanley paused, the pen hovering in midair. His dark eyes shifted up to meet Zayn's. "Go on.""We've just received word from Dr. Ceylan that the doctor will be attending the dinner tonight. The real Dr. Ceylan has arrived in Hovendale and has arranged to meet with you there."Stanley's expression deepened, his gaze growing darker. He had been searching for Dr. Ceylan for wha

    "It's getting late. You should go home and get some rest," Wendy said, her voice calm but firm.Stanley glanced at her, with no intention of moving. "You're right. It's late. Goodnight."Wendy froze.Was he staying here tonight?"Mr. Hawk, hasn't Zayn brought the key yet?" Wendy asked, trying to keep her voice steady."He won't bring it until tomorrow. So tonight, I'll be staying here," Stanley replied smoothly."No," Wendy protested, her voice trembling slightly.Stanley turned to her, his gaze sharp. "I'm informing you, not asking for your permission."Wendy opened her mouth to say something else, but before she could, the world around her seemed to darken. Stanley kissed her again, silencing her with a force that left her breathless.-In the hospital room, Jessica had been dialing Stanley's number relentlessly, but there was no answer.She tried Wendy's number next, but still, no one picked up.What were they doing?Thinking back to the images she had seen during the vi

    No! How could this be?Jessica couldn't believe it. She immediately erupted in anger, shouting, "Wendy, what are you doing with Stanley? You little tramp! You must have seduced him! Stanley is my boyfriend now! Don't you have any shame?""Wendy, take a good look! It's your boyfriend harassing me!""You little—" Jessica opened her mouth to say more, but the video call was suddenly disconnected.Inside Royale Residences, Wendy was still pinned under Stanley. She had hoped to say a few more things to Jessica, but before she could, Stanley snatched the phone out of her hand and hung up the call.Stanley's eyes were burning with a dangerous desire. "Done with your rant?"Wendy scoffed. "Not even close! I still have so much to say to Jessica, but I'm sure she's already imagined it all by now. Just you wait."Stanley tossed Wendy's phone onto the coffee table. "If you're done, let's get back to what we were doing."He kissed her again.Wendy couldn't even find the words to respond

    "I'm calling Jessica!"Wendy figured that if Stanley was going to act so arrogantly with Samuel's call, she might as well call Jessica and let her see exactly what was going on.Sure enough, the man above her froze. Stanley looked down at her, his eyes intense.Wendy smirked. She knew that name would do the trick. "Stanley, get out of my house right now! Otherwise, I'll tell Jessica about how you're sexually harassing me tonight. She might not be able to do much, but trust me, she can make sure you can't do anything either."Stanley's gaze burned with desire as he looked at her, his voice rough. "Wendy, what's wrong with you?"Wendy blinked in confusion. Why was he asking that when she was talking about Jessica?What was wrong with her?Stanley lowered his head and kissed her soft earlobe. "Wendy, you're leaking."Leaking? Wendy suddenly realized what he meant. Since becoming pregnant, her body had changed, and she had been feeling especially full in her chest lately. Last n

    Stanley winced in pain. Wendy was still the same, always biting when she got upset.Without warning, Stanley shoved her backward, pushing her deep into the sofa.Wendy's soft body sank into the cushions. Just as she was about to sit up, Stanley's tall, solid form descended on top of her, pinning her down.She placed both hands on his firm chest, furrowing her brow. "Stanley, what are you—mmph!" Before she could finish, her lips were covered by his. Stanley had lowered his head, capturing her lips in a forceful kiss.Wendy's eyes widened in shock. The last time they had shared an intimate moment like this was back in that village, when he had forced himself on her. After that, nothing. Now, his clean, crisp, and domineering presence overwhelmed her once again. He pried her lips open, invading her mouth with his. Wendy's mind went blank."Stanley, let go of me!"Wendy struggled against him, her hands pressing against the black fabric of his suit jacket. Her fingers brushed a d

    Stanley scanned the room. "This place must have cost quite a bit to decorate, huh?"Wendy shrugged. "So what?""Did Samuel pay for all of this?""Yeah, he paid for everything. He bought the luxury car, the mansion—everything. I just brought my stuff and moved in."Stanley pressed his lips together in thought. Then, his eyes landed on something on the coffee table."What's this?" Stanley moved toward the table.Wendy looked up, her clear eyes suddenly narrowing in shock. On the coffee table was a pregnancy test.Wendy reached out to grab it, but Stanley was faster. He snatched up the test before she could.He glanced at the test, then at her. "Why did you buy a pregnancy test?"Wendy quickly scanned it. Thankfully, it was a new one, and there were no two red lines—thankfully, it didn't reveal that she was pregnant.Since Stanley didn't want kids and had no plans of being a father, she hadn't planned on telling him.Wendy wasn't sure what his reaction would be. If he knew she w

    On the other side, Stanley pulled Wendy out of the bar, his long strides quick and confident. Wendy could barely keep up, stumbling behind him.Wendy frowned. "Stanley, let go of me!"Stanley opened the door of his luxury car and shoved her into the passenger seat before he slid into the driver's seat.The Rolls-Royce Phantom sped down the road, the city's neon lights casting a glow on the sleek car. Wendy raised an eyebrow. "Did you finish dinner already? Was the lady's dance not enough to keep you around?"Stanley's sudden appearance at the bar had caught Wendy off guard, especially since she had just seen him watching a group of beautiful dancers moments ago.His hand, adorned with an expensive watch, rested on the steering wheel. The city's lights reflected off his sharp, handsome face, making him look both refined and striking. "You saw me?" he asked, his voice smooth.Wendy nodded. "Yeah. Your charm seems endless. Everywhere, there's someone falling for you."Stanley's
