The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 20

Chapter 20

Sienna, Stanley’s cousin, was particularly close to Jessica. When she spotted Wendy, her face immediately darkened with disdain.

“Wendy, Stanley doesn’t like you, and yet here you are cozying up to Grandma again? Honestly, in our family, only Grandma cares about you! Do you even know your worth? A country bumpkin who stood in as a replacement bride when Jessica wasn’t around, and now you actually think you’re the young madam of the Hawk family? You’re not worthy of Stanley! Just hurry up divorce him already!” she snarled.

Wendy had grown used to it. Stanley’s family members, much like his friends, had always looked down on her.

Without sparing Sienna a glance, Wendy walked straight into the estate.

in and

Glinda, with her silver hair neatly combed, lit up with joy as soon as she saw Wendy. She reached out and clasped Wendy’s hand. “Wendy, why haven’t you come to visit me for so long? Don’t you miss me?”

This was the only warmth Wendy had ever received in the Hawk family. Glinda genuinely adored her.

Wendy smiled a little as she gently embraced Glinda, her tone playful. “Oh, Grandma. Of course I’ve missed you.”

Glinda beamed with delight, her smile unable to fade.

At that moment, Stanley’s tall, commanding figure stepped into the room.

Wendy released Glinda and said warmly, “Grandma, you haven’t had your herbal soup for a few days, have you? I’ll go prepare some for you.”

With that, she headed for the kitchen.

Stanley took a seat next to Glinda. “Grandma.”

Glinda glanced toward the kitchen where Wendy had disappeared. “Stanley, have you been quarreling with Wendy?”

Stanley didn’t want to upset his grandmother, given her frail health. “No.”

“Then why did Wendy run off to the kitchen the moment you came in? She never used to do that.”

Glinda’s gaze turned serious.

“Stanley, don’t let Jessica cloud your judgment. Three years ago, when you went into a coma, Jessica left you without a second thought and went abroad. It was Wendy who married you and took care of you.

“In those three years when you were in that condition, I was under immense stress and my health deteriorated. Wendy not only cared for you but also came to the estate to look after me, preparing all kinds of herbal soups. Without Wendy, the Hawk family would have fallen apart long ago.”

She held Stanley’s hand tightly.

that, Stanley. Because once a woman’s heart is filled with disappointment, she’ll leave. And when she leaves, she won’t look back
