Haynes ignoring Joshua and looked directly at Stella.
"Star, I need to talk to you alone."
Stella knew it was about Keen. Without pausing her task, she replied, "We can talk after Joshua has finished his breakfast and is resting."
Haynes's lips tightened in displeasure, but he said nothing, quietly taking a seat to wait.
From a distance, Leonard, watching the scene through a pair of binoculars, let out a cold sneer.
"So patient. No wonder Stella divorced him. And no wonder Foreman Richards thought he could steal her away."
He lowered the binoculars, bored. Just then, his phone rang. It was Aurora.
"Leonard, are you feeling any better?"
"What is it?" Leonard's voice was devoid of emotion.
"I wanted to come see you," Aurora said softly.
After a moment's silence, Leonard gave her the address of his new residence. About forty minutes later, she arrived carrying a thermos.
"Leonard, why did you move here?"
"It's closer to the hospital. Convenient for my treatments," he replied flatly.
Aurora glanced at the hospital across the street but didn't press the issue. She smiled warmly. "I heard about a new homestyle restaurant that's supposed to be excellent. I picked up a few of your favorite dishes."
