The Heartbreak Prescription

Chapter 73

Wendy returned to the Hawk family estate, and as soon as she stepped into the living room, her eyes landed on someone someone she would never forget: George.

Years ago, when Lilian sent her away to the countryside, it was to George's house. George had been her foster father.

Now, Glinda and George were seated on the plush sofa in the living room.

Glinda greeted George warmly. "Wendy grew up in the countryside. Those years would've been so tough without you. You raised Wendy so well. Now she's here, an esteemed lady in the Hawk family."

George's left eye was blind, leaving him with a single eye. He was a broad- shouldered man with a rough appearance, someone who had once been known for his drinking and violent behavior toward his wife.

Sitting on the expensive sofa now, his lone eye roamed around the luxurious decor of the Hawk family mansion, his gaze lingering greedily on the antique paintings scattered around. Yet, in front of Glinda, he played the humble, simple man.

"Mrs. Glinda, you flatter me. I hope Wendy hasn't caused any trouble since she married into the Hawk family."

Glinda was full of praise for Wendy. "Of course not. Wendy's a perfect angel."
