Chapter 44

Stella's heart raced as she pressed the call button for Haynes, her instincts in overdrive. It was funny how danger seemed to sharpen her senses.

She could hear the familiar ringtone from Haynes' direction. Her palms were slick with cold sweat, making her grip on the phone slippery and uncomfortable.

Stella's eyes were on the path Haynes had taken, and despite everything, she was clutching her phone tighter.

Haynes halted abruptly. Though Stella had long ceased to care for him, her heart raced uncontrollably in this critical moment.

Haynes pulled out his phone, his expression deepening when he saw her name on the screen.

Haynes' eyes flickered before he disconnected the call. "I'll take you to the hospital first," he said, dismissing everything else as he carried Rachel away.
