The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 39

Chapter 39

Glinda gasped, “Stanley!”

Outside the door, Wendy was equally stunned. She hadn’t expected Stanley to shield Jessica from the whip.

It was clear–Jessica had his blatant favoritism.

Stanley looked at Glinda, his voice firm. “Grandma, that’s enough. I’m the one who wants to be with Jessica. She’s done nothing wrong–it’s all my fault. If you want to punish someone, punish mel Don’t touch her!”

Jessica immediately reached out and clung to Stanley. “No, Grandma, don’t hurt Stanley! If anyone should be punished, it should be me!”

In that moment, Jessica and Stanley seemed like two star–crossed lovers, while Glinda stood as the villain trying to tear them

apart.

Wendy felt a bitter ache in her chest.

Glinda’s hand, still gripping the whip, trembled with rage.

“Stanley, Wendy’s your wife! Have you forgotten that for three years, when you were in a coma, it was she who stayed by your side, never leaving you? How could you hurt her like this? I can see you’ve been completely bewitched by Jessica! Fine, today I’ll

knock some sense into you!”

With heartache and fury, Glinda swung the whip at Stanley.

“Grandma, stop!” Wendy rushed forward, stepping in to block Glinda.

Glinda snapped, “Wendy, don’t be afraid. I’m here for you. No one will bully you!”

Wendy felt a sense of warmth at the words.

At that moment, Jessica cried, “Stanley, it hurts so much!”

Stanley turned quickly, his eyes falling on Jessica, who was clutching her chest, her face contorted in pain.

“Jessica!”

Wendy moved toward Jessica, reaching out to check her pulse. “Let me see.”

But before her fingers could touch Jessica, Stanley’s large hand shot out and grabbed her slender wrist with a tight grip.

Wendy looked up to meet Stanley’s cold, unfeeling gaze. His voice was sharp and distant. “I don’t need your fake sympathy!”

He jerked her arm away with a force that sent Wendy stumbling. Her soft waist collided painfully with the sharp corner of the

desk

Glinda immediately rushed to Wendy’s side, her voice full of fury. “Stanley, have you lost your mind? How could you hurt Wendy?”

Wendy lifted her gaze to see Jessica, who had been feigning weakness and dizziness moments ago, now nestled comfortably in

Stanley’s arms, shooting Wendy a victorious smile.
