My Deceased Wife Wants a Divorce novel Chapter 18

After she had familiarized herself with the case, Yves took her to meet the person behind the rumors.

They arrived at a café, but their guest hadn't shown up yet. While they waited, Hannah spotted a familiar face.

Tess, her college classmate and best friend. After graduation, Tess had become a well-known journalist.

When Tess met Hannah’s gaze, a flash of surprise crossed her face before she quickly looked away.

“Mr. Lancaster, may I go say hello to my friend?” Hannah asked.

Yves nodded.

“Tess,” Hannah said, sitting down across from her. “What’s wrong? You look awful.”

Tess clutched her coffee cup, her expression hesitant. She finally let out a sigh. “I think… I’m in trouble. I’ve been suspended for a few days, so I came out to clear my head.”

“What happened? Can I help?”

“You might be able to, or… you might not.”

Her evasiveness made Hannah’s heart sink. “Does this have something to do with Lionel?”

Tess nodded, her eyes darting around the café before she spoke in a hushed tone. “I was at the hospital for an interview the other day, and I accidentally took a few photos.”

She showed Hannah the pictures on her phone.

The first was of Lionel, carrying a thermos, rushing into a hospital room with a worried expression.
