The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 45

Haynes suddenly remembered he had received a call from Stella at Rachel's car accident. But things were so urgent that he didn't have the chance to answer her call, so he hung up.

Thinking about this, Haynes decided to call her back. The phone rang and rang, but nobody picked up.

Eventually, the call went to voicemail, and Haynes' brow furrowed deeper. He tried calling a few more times, but still, there was no answer. Was Stella ignoring him because he had hung up on her earlier?

Jasper always said not to spoil women too much. Perhaps he'd been too lenient with her, so she gave him the cold shoulder.

Meanwhile, in the hospital room, the phone on Stella's bedside table buzzed persistently, but she was already fast asleep.

It wasn't until she woke up the following morning that she noticed the missed calls on the screen. She smirked as she placed the phone back on the table.

Half an hour later, there was a knock on her hospital room door. A few uniformed traffic officers came in to investigate the accident.

Stella truthfully recounted the incident. "I was making the turn when the other car came out of nowhere without slowing down."

The officers noted her statement and asked, "Ms. Cameron, are you sure it was the other car that hit you, not the other way around?"

A subtle unease hit Stella as she listened to the officers. She asked, "Are they not admitting it was their fault?"
