The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 958

“But just a little while ago, there was another big incident at Lythania General."

Seeing Abby so uncharacteristically cheerful, Stella played along.

"What happened?"

"They say the man who shot Leonard managed to sneak back into the hospital- despite all the tight security-and tried to kill him again..."

Stella's brow furrowed. "Tried to kill him again?"

Abby nodded. "That's what people are saying. Apparently, he disguised himself as a nurse and stabbed Leonard a second time."

This wasn't the kind of news splashed across the trending headlines; Haynes had picked it up through other, less conventional channels.
