"What do you need? I'll have it arranged immediately." Wendy smiled faintly. "I need the blood of Jessica's immediate family." Blood from a close family member? Lilian's expression shifted, her face blanching.
Horace quickly said, "I'm Jessica's father. Use my blood!" "No!" Lilian shouted suddenly, panic rising in her voice. "You can't use Mr. Larson's blood!" Wendy's gaze fixed on Lilian, her eyes sharp. "Why can't I? Don't you want to save Jessica?" Wendy's calm, calculating look made Lilian realize she had overstepped.

Why do you insist on using Mr. Larson's blood? Are you trying to harm him or Jessica?" Wendy sighed, her patience clearly thinning. "This is the only way to save Jessica. If you don't trust me, then I'll leave." Horace stepped in, his voice firm but calm. "No, I trust you. Use my blood." "No, Mr. Larson! It can't be your blood! Wendy, use mine!"

Horace acted quickly, reaching out to catch her, his arms strong around her delicate waist. He looked at her with concern.
"Are you alright?" Wendy, feeling the strain of the past few days catching up to her, shook her head. "I'm fine." Just then, a low, soothing voice echoed from the doorway. "Wendy! Wendy, where are you?" Stanley had arrived.

But now, to see Horace holding her, it stunned him. Stanley stalked forward, his long legs covering the distance quickly. "What are you doing?" His fingers, long and strong, reached out to grab Wendy's delicate arm, trying to pull her away from Horace.
But Horace's grip on Wendy's other arm was just as tight. Both men were holding onto her, each unwilling to let 1. go.
Stanley's gaze shot up to meet Horace's, fury burning in his eyes. "Uncle Horace, let go of her!" Horace's lips quirked up in amusement. "What if I don't?"
