The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 112

Chapter 112

Wendy was just someone brought in to replace another. A small mistake, really.

Stanley admitted there was a brief moment when he was lost in desire, but he didn’t love her.

The person he cared about was Jessica. The person he wanted around was Jessica.

He didn’t want to be caught between two women. His relationship with Wendy should be over.

Late at night, Cecelia heard a knock at the door. She quickly threw on a robe and went to open it. “Who’s there?”

Standing outside was Wendy.

Wendy wasn’t carrying anything, except for the pale yellow vest that Glinda had given her. With a wry smile, Wendy looked at Cecelia and said, “Cecelia, I have nowhere else to go. Can you take me in?”

Cecelia immediately pulled her inside. Noticing how cold Wendy’s hands were, Cecelia gently rubbed them.” Wendy, what happened? Why are you out here by yourself so late? It’s not safe.”

Wendy gave a faint smile. “Today, Jessica threw herself down the stairs and told Stanley he couldn’t share a room with me, so I was kicked out.”

Cecelia froze for a moment, then quickly pulled Wendy into a hug. “Damn those two!”

Her eyes reddened as her voice caught in her throat. “How could they treat you like this?”

The next day, Wendy went to Clavendale University to register. Cyril had already arranged everything, so it went smoothly. She was placed in the medical department, Class 12.

Wendy sat in the back row alone. The students around her were friendly, and they introduced themselves.

Then, some of her classmates excitedly whispered, “Guess what? Professor Lincoln is coming to give us a lecture today. He’s obsessed with medicine and one of the most respected figures in the field!”

“Professor Lincoln rarely gives lectures these days. They added this lecture at the last minute. We’re so lucky!” The professor they were talking about was Wendy’s apprentice, Cyril.

Wendy hadn’t slept well last night, and she was starting to feel the weight of exhaustion. She yawned and rested her head on the desk, trying to catch some sleep.

Before long, the once noisy classroom became silent. The students quickly settled into their seats as Cyril had arrived.

Cyril was highly respected both in the medical community and at Clavendale University, so he carried a natural authority with him. As he walked to the front of the room, he scanned the students. He was looking for Wendy.

This lecture had been added just for her.

Stanley was his nephew, and he had heard all about this wife of his. He was even more curious since Stanley had personally asked for his help because of her.

Cyril cleared his throat. “Is Wendy, the new student, here?”

A few students pointed in her direction. “Professor Lincoln, Wendy is over there.”

Cyril followed their gaze and spotted Wendy, asleep with her head on the desk.

He paused.

Since she was his nephew’s wife, Cyril felt he should show some respect. He walked down from the podium and stood next to Wendy. He cleared his throat again, louder this time.
