The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 71

Jasper sneered, "Want to know if it was you? Just ask Rachel."

Keen said, "Mom, I won't forgive you if you don't apologize to Rachel."

In the past, Stella would have been in a panic, trying to soothe him. But she only glanced at him this time, not bothering to explain, and quickly looked away.

The change left Keen feeling uneasy. Recently, Stella had been acting strangely. But his grandma and Jasper assured him it was only a ploy to get attention from him and Dad, telling him not to fall for it.

With that in mind, Keen added, "Even if it's for attention, Mom shouldn't hurt Rachel. If you do it again, I won’t take you as my mom!"

Stella’s fists clenched instinctively, but her expression remained icy. "Do what you want."

Keen was stunned. Was that her another tactic?

Just then, Rachel was wheeled out. Haynes and Keen immediately followed her to the hospital room, leaving Jasper behind, his gaze fixed coldly on Stella. "Stella, you need to take responsibility for what happened to Rachel. Don’t think you can get away with it."

Inside the hospital room, Rachel had regained consciousness and was comforting Keen, whose eyes were red from crying.

"Keen, I'm okay now. I don't know if I'll get to play the violin for you again..." she said, a hint of worry crossing her face.

Mentioning the violin reminded Keen of Rachel playing in public, leaving the other kids in awe. "Keen's mom is amazing, like a fairy, and his dad is handsome!" they had said.
