The Heartbreak Prescription novel Chapter 490

Chapter 490

Stanley sat in his study, surrounded by paperwork, but it wasn’t long before he snapped the file shut.

Zayn, standing nearby, noticed the change. “Mr. Hawk, what’s wrong?”

Stanley furrowed his brow, the intensity of his gaze forming a sharp line.

“I don’t know what’s happening, but I feel…tight in my chest,” he admitted, his voice edged with discomfort.

Stanley was known for his tireless work ethic, but today was different. He couldn’t focus. His mind refused to concentrate on the documents in front of him.

The tightness in his chest wasn’t just physical. It felt like something else, something unsettling, was weighing on him.

He placed a hand over his heart, feeling a dull ache in the center of his chest.

“World you like me to call a doctor?” Zayn asked, his concern evident.

Stanley shook his head. “No need,” he replied curtly.

He paused for a moment, his expression darkening. “What’s Wendy doing right now?”

Zayn hesitated for a moment before responding, “She lives just across from you. I can go knock on her door if you’d like.”

Stanley remained silent for a moment, his eyes distant, then he said nothing, as if lost in thought.

Just then, there was a knock on the door, followed by Jessica’s voice from the other side. “Hey, I made you a cup of coffee.”

It was Jessica.

“Come in,” Stanley called out.

Jessica entered, holding a cup of coffee in her hands. She placed it carefully beside him. “You’ve been working for a long time. Drink this coffee; I made it for you.”

Stanley felt drained. He lifted the cup to his lips, took a sip, but quickly furrowed his brow in displeasure.

“What’s wrong?” Jessica asked, noticing his reaction.

Zayn, who had been with Stanley for many years, immediately picked up on the situation. “Mr. Hawk, is it the coffee? Does it not sit well with you?”

It was true–the coffee just didn’t taste right.

Before the divorce, it had always been Wendy who prepared his coffee. Wendy had taken such care with every little detail of his life, and her presence was deeply woven into his daily routine.

Stanley placed the cup back down, his fingers lingering on its edge.

Jessica’s face tightened with a hint of frustration. She couldn’t even make coffee as well as Wendy?

Zayn’s voice broke through the silence. “Should I go get Ms. Wendy?”

Jessica’s heart fell. Stanley wanted to see Wendy?

No! That couldn’t happen.

This was the most crucial inoment in their plan. She couldn’t afford for Stanley to figure things out.

Jessica quickly moved to his side, her voice soft and coaxing

“Do you want to see Wendy? Don’t you remember? You had such a falling–out with her. She’s carrying Samuel’s child now and sees you as her enemy. Why do you want to see her? She won’t welcome you.”
