Stella called Abby Murphy over to lend a hand.
When Abby found out that Stella was concocting a "miracle cure" for Rachel, her interest was piqued.
With a wicked grin, she boiled the herbal mixture in her own bathwater, adding a few spits for good measure.
Marvin, not to be outdone, procured srodent droppings and discreetly mixed them into the concoction.
Stella, with a smirk, tossed in a few cockroaches and ground the ingredients into a fine powder, forming them
into pills.
These herbs were quite ordinary, the sort that neither heal nor harm.
Suddenly, Stella changed the subject. "However, Mr. Burton has already prepared the first course of medication.
Ms. Pearce can start taking it."
Stella glanced over at Jasper and Haynes. "I'm heading to the clinic later. Do you two want to calong?"
Jasper was eager to share the news of Stella and Haynes's impending divorce with Rachel and agreed

Haynes paused for a moment before nodding slightly.
At the clinic, Rachel absentmindedly sorted through the medicinal herbs, casting frequent glances towards the
entrance with a mixture of anxiety and anticipation.
Neither Stella nor Marvin had shown up today.
Marvin was at school, while Stella and Haynes were finalizing their divorce paperwork at the city hall.
Jasper had promised to check on things at the city hall, but he hadn't sent any updates. Rachel was left
wondering if Stella and Haynes were truly splitting up. As Rachel's patience wore thin, three familiar figures
slowly entered the clinic. Her eyes lit up as she dropped the herbs and rushed over.
"Haynie, what brings you here? Isn't work busy today?" she asked, her attention solely on Haynes, momentarily
forgetting Stella and Jasper.
Stella, used to this, didn't mind. Jasper, however, felt a twinge of discomfort.
"Rachel, I've just been discharged, and you didn't even ask about my recovery," he said, his voice tinged with
annoyance. "Is Haynie the only one you care about?"
It was only then that Rachel noticed Jasper.
"Of course not! | just wanted to say hi to Haynie first," she replied smoothly, her charm at the ready.
"Jasper, you've been so good to me. If | hadn't been tied up, | would have cto the hospital to take care of
you myself."
Jasper's annoyance melted into a sheepish grin.
"Really?"
Rachel nodded sincerely. "When have | ever lied to you?"
She paused, casting a fleeting glance at Stella.

"Did you just run into Haynie and Jasper at the door, Ms. Cameron? What a coincidence."
Stella replied, "Not exactly. We cback together from the city hall." Feigning confusion, Rachel asked, "City
hall? What were you doing there?"
Stella raised an eyebrow, "Oh, didn't Haynes and Jasper tell you? Mr. O'Brien would do anything to cure you. He'd
even divorce if it meant saving your life. He wouldn't hesitate to risk everything for you."
"Enough," Haynes interrupted, frowning. "Aren't you supposed to be giving Rachel her medication?"
Stella chuckled, letting the matter drop.
"I'll get the medicine for Ms. Pearce now."
A few minutes later, Stella returned with a medicine bottle and a bottle of spring water.
She handed the water to Rachel and took out a pill herself.
"This is the first round of treatment, Ms. Pearce. Take it now so you don't delay your recovery."
