The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 2195

"How did Miss Croft get shot?"

Jake explained the whole story. "At that moment, Mr. Gardner's first instinct was to protect Stella. But Miss Croft's first instinct was to protect Mr. Gardner. To be honest, I was pretty shocked to see Miss Croft recklessly throw herself in front of Mr. Gardner like that. But in the end..."

Jake paused, but finally added, "A long-time companionship still can't beat a sudden heartbeat."

Harold, however, looked thoughtful. "Do you think Mr. Gardner remembered something?"

Jake turned to him. "Why do you say that?"

Harold said, "It's expected that Mr. Gardner would meet Stella again. But logically, they haven't known each other for long in this new context, while Miss Croft has known Mr. Gardner for years. It doesn't quite make sense for Mr. Gardner to choose to protect Stella, does it?"

Jake argued, "It's not unreasonable. Maybe Mr. Gardner just prefers women like Stella. Even if they've only known each other a short time, it's easy for him to fall for her again. Moreover, he used to love Stella so deeply. Even if he forgot, she would still be very pleasing to his eyes, exactly his type."

Neither of them had followed Joshua to Solmaris previously, so they had no idea what had actually happened and were basically relying on their imaginations.

Jake continued analyzing, "Besides, Mr. Gardner saving Leonard is the most direct proof that he hasn't remembered anything. In the past, it would have been generous of Mr. Gardner not to kill Leonard, let alone save him. I'm guessing Mr. Gardner saved Leonard just so he wouldn't be framed by the mastermind behind this. After all, if Mr. Gardner and Leonard were seen together during the attack, someone could easily frame Mr. Gardner as the one who orchestrated the assassination. What other reason could there be for him to save Leonard?"

Harold was speechless.

Joshua's mind was too deep; even having followed him for years, they still couldn't read him.

As they were chatting, the operating room doors pushed open.

Juniper hadn't been hit in a vital spot, and she received prompt medical attention. Removing the bullet wasn't a major surgery, so it ended quickly.

She was soon wheeled into a regular ward.

After a while, Juniper woke up.

She opened her eyes and instinctively scanned her surroundings.
