The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 48

As Jasper approached the hospital bed, Stella suddenly lashed out with a swift kick to his stomach.

Caught off guard, Jasper stumbled backward and crashed into a nearby table. The cups on the table clattered to the floor, shattering into countless pieces.

Standing nearby, Rachel instinctively reached out to help Jasper, but her injured hand couldn't support her, and she fell to the ground with him. She landed amongst the shards.

At that moment, the door to the hospital room swung open. A tall, poised man stepped inside, pausing as he took in the chaotic scene before him. "What happened here?"

Jasper was sprawled on the floor, wincing in pain. Upon seeing Haynes, his temper flared.

He scrambled to his feet, pointing accusingly at Stella.

"Haynie, this 'frail' woman-supposedly too injured to even leave her bed-just took down both me and Rachel in one go! If she's not faking it, what is she, some kind of martial arts master? She kicked me, for crying out loud! And Rachel? Still recovering, and this vicious woman deliberately shoved her. It's not just cruel-it's downright evil!"
