The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 172

Nathan chuckled. "So, the 'help' Wendy was talking about was Jessica."

Stanley raised an eyebrow. "Help?"

"Well, earlier, you and Wendy were neck and neck," Nathan continued, "Wendy said that Jessica has a weak heart, and even if you're the best driver, Jessica can't stand the speed, and she's bound to help Wendy out."

Did she really say that?

Stanley's gaze shifted toward Wendy's retreating figure, and a faint smile tugged at his lips.

Nathan nudged him with his shoulder. "She's interesting, isn't she?"

Stanley raised an eyebrow, but didn't answer.

Meanwhile, Jessica stood there, completely ignored, feeling like she was invisible.

Wendy and Nathan entered the Presidential Suite with a breathtaking view of the sea, while Jessica and Stanley headed to the Executive Suite.

Cecelia and Sienna had also arrived, eager to visit the famous hot springs at the resort later that evening.

Cecelia grabbed Wendy's arm. "Wendy, let's go buy some bikinis!"

They arrived at the bikini section, where an overwhelming array of styles left them both dazzled.

Cecelia's excitement was evident. "Wendy, with a body like yours, we have to pick the perfect bikini so you can really show off!"

No sooner had she finished speaking than Sienna's voice cut in, dripping with sarcasm. "An ugly duckling can only ever be an ugly duckling. What makes you think you could compare to a beautiful swan?"

Jessica and Sienna had also joined them.

Before long, Stanley and Nathan walked in as well.

Wendy glanced around, then her eyes settled on a pink bikini. "I'll take that one."

The shopkeeper smiled. "Good choice. That pink bikini is perfect for someone with your fair skin and stunning looks."

As the shopkeeper took the bikini off the rack, Jessica's voice suddenly piped up. "I'll take that one too!"

Jessica had also set her sights on the same pink bikini, and now, the two of them were competing for it.

Wendy glanced at Jessica, who had a smug, dismissive look on her face. For Jessica, showing off her body was her specialty. She might have lost the race, but she was determined to outshine everyone in the hot springs, drawing all the men's attention.

She wondered if Wendy, the simple country girl, dared to compete with her.

The shopkeeper hesitated. "But... There's only one left in pink…"

"Sir, you're a businessman. It's simple—whoever pays more gets it," Jessica said, smiling sweetly as she linked her arm through Stanley's. She fluttered her eyelashes at him. "Stanley, I want that pink bikini. Get it for me."
