The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 241

Mr. Burton glanced at Rachel's hand with a mocking smirk. "Well, you'd better rush to the hospital, or else that wound might just heal itself before you get there," he quipped sarcastically.

Marvin chimed in, "Ms. Pearce, it's just a scrape, really. Does it hurt that much? When I bump into things, I don't even shed a tear. You're acting like you're not even as tough as a five-year-old!"

Rachel put on a dramatic show, acting as if she were about to faint, though she wasn't backing down verbally.

"Little one, my body isn't like everyone else's... Last week, I accidentally cut my finger and bled a lot. Haynie was so worried I might have some serious aftereffects that he insisted I get checked at the hospital.

Haynie knows my current situation is unique. If I get injured, I bleed like there's no tomorrow. He even had blood packs prepared just in case…"

"When I got to the hospital, they were dealing with an emergency, and the blood that was meant for me went to someone with a more severe bleeding issue."

"When Haynie found out, he was furious. What if I couldn't stop bleeding? He ended up having all the staff involved in that decision fired."

"He's just overly anxious. It was just a small cut, no need for a transfusion, really."

Rachel was sharing all this to let Stella know just how much Haynes fussed over her. She was also hinting that if anything happened to her, Haynes wouldn't take it lightly.

Stella looked at Rachel with a smile. "Ms. Pearce, don't worry. I'll just call Haynes and have him come pick you up."

Rachel was taken aback, surprised that Stella wasn't angry but was instead offering to call Haynes.

"Ms. Cameron, really, it's no big deal. Just a little scratch, no need to bother him…"

Ignoring Rachel's protests, Stella picked up her phone and dialed Haynes.
