The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 112

Cora asked anxiously, “How’s Miss Haynes?”

A lew bodyguards stood at the door of the ward and stopped the three of them.

“You can’t go in!”

“We need to get in to visit Miss Haynes!”

“Miss Haynes isn’t awake yet. You can’t go in there!”

“Fine. We’ll have a look standing outside.”

In the ward, Joanna slightly rolled her eyes and became conscious. She tried to get up but lay back after struggling to force herself up.

Seeing this, Bruce hurriedly went forward to help Joanna get up, saying, “Joann, what do you want? I’ll do it for you.”

Joanna glanced at Bruce and asked weakly, “Where am I?”

“You’re in a hospital,” answered Bruce.

Joanna cried, “Hospital? Why am I in a hospital?”

Bruce held Joanna’s hand tightly. A hint of tenderness appeared in Bruce’s eyes. He said, “Joann, I’m sorry. Please don’t do such a thing again. Do you

hear me? You almost scared me to death!”

Bruce’s eyes turned red after he finished his words. He had been worried a whole night and did not even get some rest.

Joanna took a while to recall what happened last night.

Joanna thought, “I remembered I probably had a depression attack when sitting in the bathtub. Then I didn’t know why I passed out.”

Joanna asked, “What time is it now?”

“It’s after 10 o’clock in the morning,” said Bruce.

Joanna was shocked and cried out, “What? It’s already after 10?” Then she struggled to sit up.

Joanna had made an appointment with a client and agreed to view a factory at 9 o’clock. She thought, “I’m probably going to miss the appointment. since it’s already 10 o’clock now!” ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

Seeing this, Bruce immediately pressed Joanna back to the bed, warning, “You haven’t completely recovered yet. You should lie down to have some

rest.”

Joanna struggled to get up agam, looking anxious. She said, “I’m okay! Don’t get in my way!”

Bruce’s eyes lit up. Then he pressed Joanna back onto the bed and said, “Joanna, do you have to do so?

“See? You’re so weak now. Can’t you just lay back in bed and rest?” –

Joanna coughed a little and said, “Go away. I need to get off the bed.”

“What exactly are you going to do?” asked Bruce,

Joanna was angry and anxious. However, she didn’t have the energy to argue with Bruce because she was too weak. Thus, Joanna shouted, “I need to go to the bathroom. Don’t touch me!”

Bruce was speechless after hearing that. He seemed relived and stopped frowning. Bruce quickly helped Joanna off the bed and said, “Why didn’t you tell me earlier? The bathroom is a little far away. I’ll carry you there.”

Joanna replied, “No, I don’t need your help.” Just as Joanna finished her words, Bruce carried Joanna in his arms.

Joanna panicked and tried to push Bruce away, shouting, “Let go of me! I can walk by myself”

However, Bruce ignored Joanna and carried her into the bathroom.

After that, Bruce stood by the door and watched Joanna as if he was her guard.

Bruce kept an eye on Joanna because he was afraid that Joanna would do something in the bathroom again.

Joanna looked at Bruce, frustrated. She shouted, “Get out! How can I use the toilet if you look at me like that?”

Bruce replied, “Just pretend that I’m invisible. I’ve already seen every inch of your skin!”

“Weirdo, Just get out now!” Joanna was furious but had no energy to fight with Bruce. All she could do was frown and glare at Bruce.

Bruce compromised and said, “Umm, okay, but promise me you won’t do anything stupid again!”

Joanna said, “You’re crazy. What can I do in the bathroom?”

Bruce failed to control his sharp tongue and said, “Hmph, what if you drown in the toilet?” He thought, “After all, Joanna drowned herself in a bathtub!”

Listening to Bruce’s words, Joanna could not say a word. She was so angry that her chest was about to explode. Therefore, Joanna glared at Bruce. Her gaze was like an ice blade stabbing Bruce.

Joanna would have killed Bruce with her eyes if a gaze could kill a person.

Joanna’s staring was so creepy that Bruce gave in. He said, “Alright, alright. Don’t look at me like that. I’m going out. See?” As he spoke, Bruce glanced at Joanna and turned to leave the bathroom.

Creak! The moment Bruce went out, Joanna locked the bathroom door.

Joanna thought, “If Bruce barges in when I’m in the middle of using the toilet, I will probably feel disgusted and throw up.”

Bruce anxiously knocked on the door and shouted, “Hey, why did you lock the door? Are you going to do that again? Open the door!”

Joanna replied, “Bruce, can you let me use the toilet in peace? You’re so annoying!” Joanna almost could not control her anger.

Joanna thought, “I didn’t realize Bruce is so clingy. Where is that cold, calm, and unapproachable Bruce?”

Half a minute later.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Bruce knocked again and asked, “Arn

you still in there?”

Joanna frowned and felt frustrated, thinking, “I can’t pass through walls. Where am I supposed to be if I’m not in here? Is Bruce worrying that I’m going

to disappear through the sewer?”

Bruce shouted, “Why don’t you reply to me? I’ll break in if you don’t say a word!”

Joanna replied, “I’m in here!”

“Oh, alright!” Bruce was relieved after he heard Joanna’s answer.

Another half a minute later.

“Are you still in there?” Bruce was afraid that Joanna would faint again, so he asked every half a minute to make sure that Joanna was fine.

Joanna could not use the toilet in peace due to Bruce’s disturbance. Thus, she shouted angrily, “Stop being crazy! Leave me alone!”

Hearing Joanna’s shouting, Bruce was stunned. No one had ever dared to shout at Bruce like this. Bruce touched his nose resentfully and shouted back, “Damn it, Joanna. When did your temper become so bad?

“I’ll teach you a lesson someday!”

Five minutes later.

Joanna could not take it anymore and hurriedly came out of the bathroom.

Bruce said resentfully, “Why do you need to use the toilet for so long? It looks like you have remarkable bowel movements!” After that, without asking Joanna, Bruce bent down and carried Joanna in his arms again.

Joanna was so angry that she shouted, “Don’t touch me! Put me down!” She was not used to this different Bruce.

Bruce warned, “Behave, or I’ll put you in the toilet!”

When Joanna heard this, she could not hold her anger anymore. She lowered her head and bit Bruce’s shoulder with all her might.

Bruce said, “Ahh. Are you a werewolf? You’ve got sharp teeth.”

Cora and the others heard something happening inside and gathered around the door. They saw everything through the glass on the door and noticed that Bruce was carrying Joanna and smiling dotingly.

Cora said, “Aww, I can’t take that. Miss Haynes and Mr. Everett look like a loving couple!”

“Stop it, Cora. Don’t ruin Miss Haynes and Mr. Everett’s moments.” The two marketing managers were shy and turned their heads away, not looking at the couple inside.

Seeing Michael and George be like that, Cora was nervous. However, Cora could not help asking through the door, “Miss Haynes, are you alright?”

Hearing Cora’s voice, Joanna reluctantly let go of Bruce’s shoulder.

Joanna replied to Cora, “I’m okay now. Call Mr. Zaborski and tell him we’ll make another appointment.”

Hearing Joanna’s words, Bruce lost his smile and warned, “Joanna, you are weak now, so drop the work and forget about it temporarily!

“I don’t want you to build a factory in Mossbourne!”

Joanna did not intend to argue with Bruce. Instead, she rolled her eyes in anger,

Joanna said, “Bruce, can you stop bothering me? Will you only stop when I die?”

Hearing this, Bruce was stunned.

Bruce stared at Joanna and found that she was so weak. Bruce felt his heart ache and did not argue with Joanna.

Bruce thought, “Joanna almost fost her life last night. It was so close that she would go to another world.

“Perhaps I should keep the distance with Joanna.”

Bruce placed Jaanna on the bed. The sadness appeared in his eyes. Bruce said, “Joanna, I just want to ask you one last time. Are you sure you don’t love me anymore??

Joanna was exasperated and replied, “Bruce, I’ve already answered you several times! I don’t love you. I don’t love you! I’ve never loved you!

“Don’t ask such a boring question again!”

Bruce retorted, “That’s impossible. You said you loved me last night.”

Joanna was stunned and asked, “When did I say I love you?”

“When we did that last night,” said Bruce.

“Ugh!” cried Joanna.

Hearing what Bruce said, Joanna was so angry that her heart ached. She could not help rubbing her chest and lying back on the bed. She was unwilling

to continue the conversation with Bruce.

Joanna thought, “When we did that, Bruce kept asking me whether I loved him. He was like a wolf at that time.

“After I answered that I didn’t love him, Bruce wanted more from me.

“In that case, I had to compromise to make the experience more comfortable.”

Bruce asked again, “Answer me!”

Joanna coughed and frowned, saying, “I feel dizzy”

Seeing this, Bruce was nervous and asked, “What’s the matter? I’ll call a doctor over here now!”

Then, Bruce hurriedly hit the call button.

Minutes later, a doctor and several nurses rushed over.

The doctor hurriedly went forward to check Joanna and asked, “How does she feel?”

Bruce replied anxiously, “Doctor, she just said she felt dizzy!”

“She has hypoglycemia. She needs a dose of glucose now,” said the doctor.

After the doctor finished his words, he quickly prescribed, and the nurse immediately gave Joanna a dose of glucose.

The doctor warned, “She needs to maintain emotional stability, so please keep quiet.”

Bruce sighed in relief and replied with a frown, “Got it.”

After the doctor left, Kody came to knock on the door.

“What?” asked Bruce..

Kody reported, “Mr. Everett. Butler Henry has called.”
