The Ex-Wife's Burning Elegance novel Chapter 1828

He was willing to lie just to give Joshua a sliver of hope. However, Joshua seemed to hear nothing, his expression remaining vacant.

Jake was truly frightened now. "Mr. Gardner, please say something…"

Joshua's eyelashes trembled slightly. But before Jake could feel a flicker of relief, Joshua's face contorted, and he suddenly coughed up a mouthful of blood.

"Mr. Gardner!" Jake's face paled in alarm.

Joshua's body swayed, and he abruptly collapsed.

Jake scrambled to catch him, yelling, "Doctor! Doctor!"

Foreman's gaze on Stella was fervent. He had waited for this day for a very, very long time.

He had endured the pain of watching Stella with Joshua, watching Joshua joyfully prepare for their wedding. But the thought of Joshua being shattered, driven mad by Stella's death and too consumed by grief to search for her, made it all seem worthwhile.

Joshua was simply too clever. If he remained clear-headed, there was no guarantee he wouldn't find Stella again, just like last time. The only way to shake him for good was to make him lose his mind. Only then could Foreman be free of worry.

Foreman's voice trembled with excitement. "Star, you're finally all mine."

However, to Foreman's utter shock, despite his overwhelming excitement and his desire to possess Stella that very second, his body remained stubbornly unresponsive.

What was wrong with him today? Could it be because he hadn't been intimate with her yet? But in the past, just the thought of Stella was enough to make him lose control. If he still couldn't get a reaction when he was close to her, what would she think of him?

Foreman broke out in a cold sweat. He had already arranged for medication to be prepared, planning to get Stella pregnant at the first opportunity. Then, with his child, she would never be able to leave him.
