The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance

Chapter 958

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

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."
