The Heartbreak Prescription

Chapter 43

Glinda's voice was gentle as she said, "Go ahead, dear."

Wendy nodded and left the room.

Stanley walked to the bedside, and Glinda scolded him sharply, "Why are you back? Get out of here now!"

Stanley gave a small, genuine smile and apologized, "Grandma, I'm sorry, I was wrong."

Glinda's tone softened slightly, but she didn't let him off easily. "I don't need your apology. The person you really owe an apology to is Wendy!"

Stanley stood speechless.

"And then you pushed Wendy, and she hit the table! People always say the squeaky wheel gets the grease-don't think just because Wendy didn't cry, it didn't hurt!" Glinda added.

"Mr. Hawk, you really need to use your conscience. You can't keep treating Mrs. Wendy like this!"

Glinda and Freddy both kept on, criticizing Stanley. He just stood there, silent.

Stanley glanced in the direction Wendy had gone, then said, "Grandma, since you're okay now, I'll head back to my room."
