The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1878

Stella quickly replied, "I'm fine. I just got a little ice water on me, and I've already changed."

Joshua's eyes scanned the cut on Stella's forehead, and his pupils darkened.

He didn't say anything more, only, "Let's go to Old Mr. Wyatt's first."

Old Mr. Wyatt was currently staying at Mr. Burton's residence, so they soon found him there.

When Mr. Burton saw Abby, he smiled. "Abby, my dear, I haven't seen you in a long time. When did you get back?"

Abby's spirits were low. "I just got back today and already caused trouble for Star."

She then explained what had happened in detail.

While they waited for Old Mr. Wyatt, Mr. Burton disinfected and treated the cut on Stella's forehead. He then handed her a tube of ointment.

"Apply this for a week, and the scar will disappear."

"Thank you, Mr. Burton," Stella said sincerely.

Mr. Burton smiled. "There's no need for such formalities between us."

Shortly after, Old Mr. Wyatt was brought in. After a thorough examination of Stella's hand, he concluded, "There's no damage to the bones, so it's not a major problem. However, you still need to be careful during this recovery period. Don't expose it to cold for extended periods, or else, even if it doesn't affect the use of your hand, you might experience aches on overcast or rainy days, which could impact its condition."

Hearing this, Abby felt even more guilty.

"I'm so sorry. This is all my fault."

Stella shook her head. "Abby, don't blame yourself. This has nothing to do with you. Besides, my hand is fine, isn't it?"

Despite her words, Abby knew that if Stella's hand developed any long-term issues or if its recovery was compromised because of her, she would probably live with the guilt for the rest of her life.

Old Mr. Wyatt added a few more instructions before saying, "If you're still worried, you can come back for another check-up in a week."

"Thank you for your trouble, Old Mr. Wyatt," Stella said.

"Stella, Melody's gone."

"What do you mean, gone?" Stella asked, confused.

"She just disappeared. We can't find her anywhere," Wilbur said.

Stella asked, "Do you think she ran away because she knew she was in trouble?"

"Gideon and I thought so too," Wilbur replied. "But after checking airports, ports, and highways, we found no trace of her. It's like she vanished into thin air."

Stella fell into deep thought.

Wilbur added, "Of course, it's possible she avoided surveillance and is hiding somewhere for now. Gideon and his team are still looking."

"Alright," Stella said. "Keep searching for now. Let me know as soon as you have any news."
