Chapter 110
Wendy lifted her gaze to Stanley. “No, I’m leaving tonight.
She tried to pull her wrist free from his firm grip, but Stanley’s grip held fast. His strength was unyielding, making it impossible for her to move. He parted his lips, his voice as calm as ever.
“Tomorrow, go to Clavendale University to register.”
Wendy froze. “Why?”
“I’m sending you there to study. Everything’s been arranged, and you’ll be studying medicine there.”
Wendy was speechless.
He was really sending her to Clavendale University to study medicine? Had he even thought about what he was saying? Was he serious?
“I’m not going!” Wendy snapped, refusing immediately.
Stanley frowned, his brows drawing together in a handsome line. “Wendy, Clavendale University is one of the best in the country. It’s not easy to get in. This is a rare opportunity. I know you stopped studying at 16, but now I’m offering you a chance. Aren’t you interested in medicine? If you study hard, one day you can shine just like Jessica does on her stage.”
Wendy stood still, too stunned to respond at first.
He really did think so little of her!
She was furious beyond words.
Still, she clenched her teeth and held back her frustration. “Fine. I’ll go.”
With that, she yanked her wrist free from his grasp and stormed out of the room.
Wendy entered Glinda’s room, where the old lady was sitting on the bed, working on some needlework. She had reading glasses perched on her nose as she knitted a sweater.
“Grandma, why aren’t you in bed yet?” Wendy walked over to her.
“Wendy, you’re just in time. I’ve knitted you a little vest. Try it on and see if it fits.”
Glinda tied off the last thread and carefully draped the vest over Wendy’s shoulders.
“Oh, Mrs. Glinda, it fits her perfectly,” Freddy said with a smile.
Standing just outside the door, Stanley heard the laughter coming from within. He looked up to see Wendy wearing a pale yellow sleeveless knitted vest. The small vest clung to her delicate frame, accentuating her slender figure. Her long, jet–black hair flowed smoothly over her shoulders, and her little face, fran by her soft hair, appeared even more angelic.
Glinda had a good eye for color. The soft yellow suited Wendy perfectly.
“Grandma, I have plenty of clothes. You don’t need to strain your eyes knitting for me.”
“I was just thinking that autumn is coming, and the weather is going to get colder, I don’t want you to catch a
cold, so I made this for you to keep you warm.”

Freddy laughed softly. “Mrs. Wendy, Mrs. Glinda hasn’t done any knitting for years. Not even Mr. Stanley has an item of clothing Mrs. Glinda has made with her own hands,
Glinda playfully scolded him. “Stanley has so many people around him. He won’t get cold. But Wendy is different. She’s always by herself.“.
