Lilian’s eyes sparkled with a cunning gleam as she said to Jessica, “You should tell Mr. Hawk about Wendy’s pregnancy. We can use this as an opportunity to get rid of the child–through his own hands.”
The frown that had clouded Jessica’s face vanished instantly. She now understood exactly what Lilian meant, and she couldn’t help but give her mother a thumbs up.
Lilian’s voice lowered, serious again. “But before you go to him, you need to prepare something. You have to make sure that everyone believes the child is Samúel’s.”
Jessica nodded eagerly. “I understand. I’ll handle it right now.”
At Hawk Group, Stanley had returned to his office. He was seated at his desk, pen in hand, reviewing some documents.
Just then, Zayn’s voice broke the silence. “Mr. Hawk, Ms. Wendy hasn’t agreed to perform the heart surgery for Ms. Jessica yet. What should we do next?”
Stanley paused, his pen frozen mid–air.
Zayn hesitated before speaking again, “Are we really going to take action against Ms. Wendy? After we dealt with Mr. Samuel, Ms. Wendy’s disappointment with you is…noticeable.”
Stanley’s face turned cold, his expression sharpening into something as hard and unyielding as ice. He had no choice in the matter–he had to stand by Jessica.
The image of Wendy’s small, delicate face flashed in his mind–her beauty and stubbornness.
He really wished Wendy wouldn’t make this harder for him.
Just then, a soft knock echoed from the door.
“Stanley.” Jessica’s voice rang out from the other side.
“Come in,” Stanley replied, his voice steady.
Jessica opened the door and stepped inside, a hint of nervousness in her demeanor. “I hope I’m not interrupting anything.”
Stanley glanced down at the papers in his hands. “I’m busy today. I don’t have time to spend with you.”
Jessica gave a small, teasing smile. “I don’t want to disturb you, but there’s something important I need to talk to you about.”
“Can it wait until tomorrow?” Stanley asked, his voice sounding like he wanted to push it off.
“It’s about Wendy,” she said softly.
Stanley’s sharp gaze lifted from the papers to meet her eyes. “What about her?”
“Don’t misunderstand,” Jessica said, her voice low and serious. “Wendy hasn’t gotten into any trouble. I accidentally discovered something about her, and after thinking it over, I felt like I needed to tell you.”
Stanley studied her with intense focus. “What is it?”
“Stanley, prepare yourself. This is a Huge secret–Wendy is pregnant.”

The sound of Stanley’s pen clattering to the floor was loud in the otherwise quiet room. He shot to his feet, his face a mask of shock. “What did you just say? Say it again!”
Jessica’s voice was firm. “I saw her secretly getting medicinal herbs for miscarriage prevention. I had someone check it out–she’s pregnant.”
So, Wendy was really pregnant.
Stanley had suspected it once before, but after a visit to NovaHealth for a checkup, he had been told she wasn’t.
