The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1836

Stella knew very well that if Haynes hadn't been watching Foreman so closely, preventing him from making any rash moves, she might have already been moved somewhere else.

Haynes looked at Stella, seeming to want to say something but holding back.

In the end, he remained silent.

Haynes led Stella into the villa.

"Joshua is staying here for now," Haynes said.

Stella's heart clenched painfully.

Haynes knew she was back and was waiting for her at the door, but Joshua hadn't appeared.

That could only mean one thing: Joshua couldn't appear.

As soon as she entered the villa, Stella saw Harold, who had just come downstairs.

Harold seemed to have been informed ahead of time. Seeing her arrive safe and sound, he let out a huge sigh of relief.

"Ms. Cameron, thank goodness you're all right. Otherwise..."

Stella walked over quickly. "How is Joshua's condition?"

Harold's expression grew heavy. "It's not good. Mr. Gardner hasn't woken up since he collapsed that day."

Harold began to tell Stella what had happened recently. "A few days ago, Jake noticed a change in The Lerman Group's shareholding and went to Solmaris to investigate. This morning, Jake finally got confirmation that you, Ms. Cameron, were the one who signed the share transfer agreement, which finally proved that you weren't dead. Also..."

Harold looked at her with a complex emotion in his eyes.

"Leonard's shares have been temporarily frozen."

Stella raised an eyebrow. "Frozen?"

Arriving at Joshua's room, Stella saw him still unconscious.

Joshua lay peacefully on the medical bed, his eyes tightly closed. His long eyelashes cast a faint shadow on his face.

He was very pale, his handsome face devoid of any color. He looked hauntingly fragile, like a man held together by the finest of threads.

Stella had never seen Joshua so vulnerable and weak.

Stella couldn't help but ask, "When will Joshua wake up?"

Laurel Quinn's voice was faint. "I'm not sure. The human brain is incredibly delicate. Joshua's condition was already unstable, and the news of your death dealt him a severe blow. I suspect the effects of his hypnosis are weakening, which is why he's been unconscious for so long."

Stella's breath hitched. "If he remembers everything, what will happen?"

Laurel Quinn's voice was flat. "He'd probably go insane."
