The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 818

Stella's expression turned grave. "What happened to Joshua?"

Abby got to her feet, hesitating for a moment before asking, "Star, do you want to come with me to the hospital?"

Without missing a beat, Stella replied, "Yes, I'm coming with you."

By the time they arrived at the hospital, Joshua was already out of emergency

care.

He was a capable driver, and thankfully, his injuries weren't too serious. There was a deep gash on his forehead that had needed several stitches, now hidden beneath thick bandages.

Abby moved to the edge of his bed, concern etched on her face. "Joshua, what happened? How did you end up in a car accident?"

The car involved was a recent reward from Stella to Joshua-a new ride that Abby had picked out for him. It wasn't anything extravagant, costing about fifteen grand, just something reliable for getting around. The car had been delivered only yesterday, and now, less than twenty-four hours later, Joshua had crashed it.

Joshua didn't answer right away. He hesitated, as if unsure how much to reveal.

Noticing his discomfort, Stella pressed gently, "Joshua, is there something you're not telling us?"

He fell silent for a few seconds before finally saying, "The brakes failed. Out of nowhere."

Stella and Abby exchanged uneasy glances.
