The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 589

Chapter 589

As the car pulled away from the curb, Haynes glanced at Stella in the rearview mirror.

"So, home or the studio?"

"The studio," Stella replied without looking up.

He nodded and turned the wheel, steering them in a new direction.

From the mirror, he studied her a moment longer. "You don't look like you're in the best mood."

Stella's answer was cold, tinged with biting sarcasm.

"That's none of your business. If you're so eager to worry about something, focus on Rachel's health. If she gets sick again before her concert, everything you've done for her will be for nothing."

Haynes heard the edge in her voice; the underlying mockery was unmistakable.

Eyes fixed on the road ahead, he said quietly, "Yesterday, I had Rachel go through another full checkup."

Stella turned to him, expression unreadable. "And? Is she getting worse, or better?"

He was silent for a moment. "Dr. Burton's medication seems to be working."

A wry smile tugged at Stella's mouth. "So, she's improving?"

"Rachel has weekly checkups," Haynes explained. "At first, I couldn't believe she was really that sick. I even brought in specialists for second opinions. But every result came back the same."

Stella caught his meaning immediately. "Are you suggesting Dr. Burton lied to help me?"
