Stanley furrowed his handsome brows.


    Jessica, feeling smug and proud, looked at Wendy with a twisted grin. "Are you really in pain? Then why don''t you beg me? If you do, maybe I''ll let Stanley take you to the hospital."


    Wendy gritted her teeth, enduring the pain, and shot Jessica a cold nce. "We''ll see who ends up begging whom."


    With those words, Wendy turned and walked away


    Wendy returned to her apartment and immediately dialed Ernest, her other senior''s, number. "Hey, Ernest. Stanley kidnapped Samuel. You need to send someone to rescue him right away."


    Ernestughed when he heard the news. "Well, this is a first. Someone dared to kidnap Samuel? Have you fallen out with Stanley?"


    Wendy, still feeling a dull pain in her abdomen, her small face pale, replied, "Don''t mention that man to me again. I''ll just pretend I never knew him. I must have been blind to have ever loved him!"


    Ernest''s voice softened. "Don''t worry. I''ll take care of Samuel''s situation. But I can tell something''s off in your voice. Are you feeling unwell?"!


    Hearing his promise, Wendy felt a little better. If something happened to Samuel because of her, she would me herself for the rest of her life.


    "I''m fine. I just need some rest."


    "Alright, then get some rest. Take care."


    They hung up, but Wendy still felt a slight ache in her abdomen. Stanley had made her so angry today, she feared it had disturbed her pregnancy.


    She needed to make some medicine to protect her pregnancy, but she was missing two ingredients.


    Wendy immediately called her assistant. "Please bring me two ingredients: Lideran and Cerrosbi."


    Meanwhile, Stanley had gone to work, and Jessica arrived at Royale Residences. She was nning to find Wendy.


    She wanted to unt in front of Wendy and pressure thetter into treating her heart disease sooner.


    As she reached the elevator, Wendy''s assistant hurried over "Please hold the door."


    Jessica didn''t recognize Wendy''s assistant, and as the elevator doors opened, both of them entered.


    Inside the elevator, Wendy''s assistant took out her phone and made a call. "Dr. Cen, I''ve arrived and am now in the elevator."


    Jessica''s''ears perked up, and she took a second look at Wendy''s assistant.


    So, this was Wendy''s assistant. What could she be calling her for?


    "Yes, I have the two ingredients you asked for, Lideran and Cerrosbi."


    Lideran and Cerrosbi?


    What did Wendy need those two herbs for?


    Jessica wasn''t a doctor, so she didn''t know the purpose of these two medicinal herbs. However, the fact that Wendy had requested them struck her as odd.


    The elevator soon arrived at the desired floor. Wendy''s assistant stepped out, but Jessica remained inside. She decided not to look for Wendy anymore. Instead, she needed to figure out what those two herbs were for.


    If they were something that could be used against Wendy, she could hold onto that leverage.


    Jessica pulled out her phone and dialed a number belonging to the Crone family''s private doctor.


    The call was answered. "Hello, Dr. Kinsman. I have a question I''d like to ask." "Please, ask away"


    "I''d like to know what Lideran and Cerrosbi are used for."
