Chapter 138
Estrella held Zoey’s hands tightly, nodding affirmatively, “That’s right.” She then said, “Zoey, I promise I’ll uncover the truth behind your sister’s injuries.”
“Estrella, thank you!”
“It’s what anyone would do.”
After spending some time with Zoey in the hospital room, Estrella left. She had yet to see Nick show up. Since taking on this case, Estrella had visited the hospital five times and hadn’t bumped into Nick even once.
Clearly, there was trouble in paradise. At the very least, Nick was a huge part of the problem. His affection for Lexi seemed minimal, or else he wouldn’t have stayed away from the hospital for so long.
Gripping the steering wheel, Estrella mulled over the case details until the car behind honked, pulling her back to reality – the traffic light had turned green.
As she stepped on the gas to drive off, her gaze inadvertently fell on a black Mercedes SUV across the street. To her surprise, Nick was seated in the passenger seat.
The driver was a woman who appeared slightly older than Nick, not strikingly beautiful but exuding a mature allure. Moreover, that Mercedes SUV was high-end, definitely out of Nick and Lexi’s price range.
At this moment, Nick looked somber and lost while the woman casually held the steering wheel with one hand. If Estrella’s hunch was right, it looked like their hands were intertwined from a distance.
She kept her eyes on the Mercedes SUV until a horn honked behind her again, prompting her to pick up speed. As the two cars crossed paths, Estrella quickly dialed her colleague, “Keegan, can you help me run a license plate and find the car owner?”
