30 Days till I Divorce My Husband (Estrella and Jason)

Chapter 234

Then, Estrella crossed her arms in front of her chest and entered the hospital room.

Once inside, Estrella’s gaze immediately fell on the bandages covering Jason’s face. If the scars were deep, it would be tough to avoid marks.

Noticing Estrella come in, Jason said, “It’s just a few scratches. Let Thomas drive you

home.”

Estrella nodded and said, “Okay.”

After a quick check on Keegan next door, she left with Thomas. On the drive back, Thomas, gripping the steering wheel, glanced at Estrella and said, “Jason called us, saying you might be in trouble. He was nearly panicking, his voice trembling. It’s been years since I’ve seen him so anxious.”

“How did he even know I was at Glimmering Lake?” Estrella inquired.

“No idea,” Thomas admitted. “But finding out where you are isn’t hard for him.” He then added, “Just a thought, Estrella, but are you sure you want to keep digging into the Glimmering Lake case? Maybe we’re dealing with folks who are way out of our league.”

Estrella chuckled. “Out of our league or not, I’m seeing this through.”

How could she not? If she didn’t unearth the culprits, what would become of the villagers in Glimmering Lake, or the good folks under their jurisdiction?

She knew the stakes when she chose to be an attorney. She wouldn’t have picke path if she was afraid, and she certainly didn’t want Jason and Keegan’s injuries vain.

Acknowledging Estrella’s resolve, Thomas reached out with his right hand and ruf hair. “You go full throttle, Estrella. Jason and I will back you every step of the way.”

As her eyes drifted over, Thomas quickly withdrew his hand. “You’re Ella, the boss, ou leader.” He had meant to comfort and encourage her, but she clearly didn’t need it.

It was too late for pleasantries, and Thomas urged her not to
