The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 97

Stella felt a renewed sense of determination. As long as Mr. Burton was willing to speak, everything was negotiable. Mr. Burton might have had a sharp tongue, but he was genuinely kind-hearted. Back when he learned that Keen had been born prematurely and was in poor health, he'd shared plenty of advice on how to nurture him back to strength.

"Mr. Burton, please go ahead," Stella said, ready for anything.

Mr. Burton glanced at her, his expression as inscrutable as ever. "You mentioned you play the violin, right? I have a number of elderly patients who are quite lonely. So, I'm thinking of organizing a little event for them. If you perform a concert for these seniors, I'll provide you with the medicine you need. How does that sound?"

Stella agreed without hesitation. "Of course, no problem at all." She added, "Would it be alright if I invited my friend to join me for the performance?"

Mr. Burton squinted slightly, as if weighing the sincerity of her words. "You're really willing to perform for us old folks?"

Stella chuckled. "Before my mother passed, my friend and I often did volunteer performances at orphanages and retirement homes. We're no strangers to this kind of thing."

Mr. Burton gave a thoughtful nod. "Alright, settled. Just don't chicken out when things get rough."
