Lilian’s expression was grim, but she squeezed Jessica’s hand reassuringly. “Don’t be scared. Trust me, the kidnappers and the doctor won’t betray us.”

Stanley arrived at Wendy’s VIP ward, his heart pounding. He reached for the door, eager to see her, but Halsey blocked his path before he could enter.

She stood firmly in front of him. “You can’t go in!”

Stanley frowned, frustration rising. “Move. I need to see her.”

Halsey’s gaze was stern. “What’s the point of seeing her now? You weren’t there when she needed you most. So why bother now? Im sure she doesn’t want to see you either.”

Stanley pressed his lips together in silence.

Halsey’s voice softened, but her words were sharp. “I really don’t know what kind of spell Jessica has cast on you. Why are you always on her side? You’ve hurt Wendy so badly this time.”

Stanley’s voice cracked with emotion. “Bebe, you don’t understand.”

“True, I don’t understand,” Halsey replied. “But how am I supposed to understand when you never tell me anything? Just answer me this–do you really love Jessica that much?“.

She wanted a true answer from him, something she could believe. She couldn’t fathom Stanley being completely indifferent to Wendy.

Stanley’s hands clenched into fists by his sides. “It’s not just about love between us. Jessica is my responsibility.” “Responsibility? What do you mean?” Halsey’s confusion deepened.

Stanley didn’t want to explain. “Bebe, please, just let me in.”

“No,” Halsey responded firmly. “If you don’t explain everything to me, I’m not letting you through. You’ll never see Wendy again, not while I’m here.”

Stanley’s eyes darkened as he hesitated. “Jessica once saved my life.”

“What?”

Halsey froze, disbelief flashing across her face. Jessica? The same woman who abandoned Stanley when he became a vegetable, who had walked away without a second thought—she saved him? That was Impossible.

Halsey furrowed her brow in suspicion. “Jessica saved you? When? Where?”

Stanley paused, taking a deep breath before answering. “Many years ago, I was seriously injured. I got lost in a forest, and Jessica found me. She took me to a cave and cared for me. I promised her then that I would take her with me, that I would never leave her. So, Jessica is my responsibility. I can’t just ignore her. As for Wendy…”

Stanley’s gaze drifted toward the closed door of the hospital room. There was no longer a future between Wendy and him. Not as long as Jessica was in the picture.

But after hearing that Wendy had been kidnapped and hurt, he couldn’t help but feel a pang of concern for her.

Even when he knew that the child inside Wendy wasn’t his, he still cared about her a lot.

Halsey stood in stunned silence, trying to process his words. Honestly, she didn’t believe him. Not for a second.

She couldn’t imagine Jess ca ever saving someone, let alone Stanley. There had to be something more to this story.

The person in the middle of a situation is often too close to see the truth, while an outsider can see it clearly. Stanley couldn’t see the full picture, but Halsey sensed that something wasn’t right.
