It was an odd question. Manager Crawford looked confused for a moment. "Okay from what?"
"I heard you and Joshua were in a car accident," Stella explained. "And that it was serious, with casualties."
Manager Crawford's expression cleared. He gave a short, relieved laugh. "Oh, that! Yeah, there was a pile-up. It was incredibly close. But Joshua's reflexes saved us. He saw what was happening, swerved, and we slammed through the guardrail. Totaled the car, but we walked away from it with barely a scratch."
Recalling the scene, a look of lingering fear crossed his face. "Thank God Joshua was there. If he hadn't been, I don't think I would've made it out alive."
Stella asked, "Where is Joshua? How badly is he hurt?"
"He's still upstairs," Manager Crawford replied. "His injuries are a bit worse than mine, but nothing life-threatening."
After getting Joshua's room number, Stella took the elevator upstairs.
…
Arriving at Joshua's room, Stella knocked softly. From inside, a familiar, clear male voice answered, "Come in."
Stella pushed the door open. Joshua was inside, straightening his clothes as if preparing to leave.
When he saw Stella, his eyes narrowed slightly. "Star, what are you doing here?"
"I heard about the accident," she said. "I came to check on you."
"It's just a few scrapes. Nothing serious."
Stella's gaze fell on the thick white gauze wrapped around his arm. "Joshua, how are you really? Does it hurt?"

The same rotation blaming Stella trying to get her destroyed. Isn't the writer tired of writing the same foolishness overand over again? This is exhausting....

Why would the author of this book do that to Stella? Such cruelty!...
So many chapters are incomplete. Missing pages. Hard to get continuity...
