The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 221

Chapter 222

"I've got something on today, I'm afraid I can't make it..."

Before Stella could finish her sentence, Jasper's voice buzzed through the phone.

"Haynie, Rachel's out of surgery. You should come over and check on her..."

Of course, how could she forget? Every time Haynes bailed, it was always for Rachel.

Stella's heart had long since grown accustomed to this. Her voice was cool and detached.

"She's out of surgery now. If you've got time this afternoon, you should stop by. Don't worry, it won't take long..."

But once again, Jasper cut her off.

"Haynie, why are you still on the phone? Rachel's been asking for you this whole time! You need to be with her right now!

The doctor says things aren't looking good. If heaven forbid something happens, this might be your last chance to see her!"

"Alright, I'll be there soon." Haynes' voice turned sharp.
