Chapter 518

Jessica, feeling the pressure of the moment, began to urge Stanley.

At that point, Halsey sneered, "What's the rush? Mr. Finnley is an old acquaintance of yours, right? Didn't you get him to help rescue Mr. Hawk all those years ago?"

Cecelia gasped in realization. "Wait a second, Jessica! Why does it seem like you don't recognize Mr. Finnley?"

Stanley immediately sensed something was off. Just moments ago, Jessica had shown nothing but disdain for Finnley, treating him like a complete stranger. [

Stanley fixed his gaze on Jessica. "You don't recognize Finnley?"

Panic flashed across Jessica's face. "I was just so young back then. I-1 didn't remember at first. But now I do. He's Finnley. Stanley, I'm really not feeling well. Let's get on with the surgery."

Lilian, too, had noticed something wasn't right. She hadn't expected such a turn of events at such a crucial time. She quickly interjected, "Mr. Hawk, we should proceed with the surgery first. They can catch up afterward." Edith also urged, "Yes, Mr. Hawk. The surgery is critical to Jessica's heart. We should focus on that." Just then, Wendy's voice, clear and sharp, broke through. "Jessica, are you still pretending at this point?" Halsey smirked. "Your attempts to cover up the truth are pathetic."

Cecelia chimed in. "We're not trying to say anything. We're just telling you the truth."
