Chapter 507
At the mention of those past events, Stanley’s usually sharp features softened.
“Yes, it was many years ago. I was severely injured and wandered into a forest. It was Jessica who saved me. If it weren’t for her, I wouldn’t be here today. She’s the one who gave me a second chance at life.”
Wendy couldn’t help but laugh, a bitter chuckle escaping her lips. She couldn’t even put her feelings into words, only feeling a deep ache in her chest; a mixture of sharp pain and a strange, tingling sensation.
She had always thought he had forgotten.
She had always believed he had forgotten her.
In reality, he had never forgotten.
He still remembered her.
All these years, he had kept her in his heart.
To know that the love had been reciprocated–it was such a beautiful thing, even if he had mistaken the person.
Wendy tilted her head back, her small face gazing up at him “Do you remember the words you said in that cave?” Stanley nodded. “I told her I would take her with me, that I would give her a home. I promised I would never leave her.”
He looked at Wendy, his gaze intense.
“All these years, I’ve kept my promise. I found Jessica and brought her into my life. I’ve watched her grow up by my side. Sometimes, it feels like I’ve nurtured her like a precious flower, showering her with all the love and indulgence I could offer.”
Stanley reached out and gently placed his hand on Wendy’s shoulder.
“Do you understand now? I don’t want to be your enemy. I don’t want to stand against you. But I can’t leave Jessica. She may be willful or scheming; she may not be perfect, but she’s my girl.”
Stanley said Jessica was his girl.
Wendy’s pale eyelids reddened, her eyes welling with tears that shimmered like mist. She looked at him through a
haze of tears.
All these years, he had done so much.
He had never abandoned her. He had kept her close, watching her grow.
Wendy’s heart softened. All the resentment and frustration from the past faded away. The truth was, he had already brought her back home.
Unfortunately, he had brought home the wrong person.
In the end, it was too late.
She and Stanley had missed out on each other for so many years.
Stanley watched as tears welled up in Wendy’s eyes, large droplets falling freely down her cheeks.
He was stunned. He didn’t know why she was crying. What could have made her so upset?

Stanley raised his hand and gently wiped away her tears, hi voice hoarse as he muttered, “Wendy, I’m sorry, I already have Jessica.
He already had Jessica,
Wendy, through the blur of tears, managed to curve her lip into a faint smile. She didn’t say a word but simply replied, “Alright. I’ll treat Jessica’s heart condition.”
