The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 453

Chapter 453

Those who lived in the most competitive places could only make themselves stronger. If they took a step back, they

would have no foothold.

Looking at the faint fatigue hidden in Bruce’s eyes, Joanna’s heart suddenly softened. “Bruce, I don’t want anything

to happen to you…”

When Bruce heard this, his eyes lit up. “Why? Don’t want to part with me?”

Joanna frowned. “How could you still be in the mood to joke at such a critical moment?”

“I’m not joking! Since things have come to this point, what else can I do? I’ll deal with whatever comes my way!”

Bruce curled his lips and smiled.

“Then… Is there anything I can do for you?” Joanna was a little afraid that something would happen to Bruce.

A person in a high position was liable to be targeted.

Bruce was already the richest man in Greyport at such a young age. Behind his back, there were many people who

envied him and were jealous of him. There were countless people who wanted to knock him down.

“Yes, it would be best if you could make me a bowl of spaghetti.”

When Joanna heard this, she hurriedly nodded. “Alright, wait for me. I’ll cook it immediately.”

“Honey, I love you!” Bruce’s lips curled into a smile, his eyes filled with love.

Joanna was stunned. She did not darken her face this time but went straight into the kitchen.

Cooking spaghetti was very simple and it could be done in less than 15 minutes.

While cooking the spaghetti, Joanna was distracted from time to time. Even though she hated Bruce, he was still the

father of the children. She really didn’t want anything to happen to him.

Soon, a bowl of steaming hot spaghetti was ready.

Joanna walked out with the spaghetti. “It’s ready. Enjoy!”

Bruce was sitting on a chair in the dining room staring blankly. He knitted his brows as if he was thinking about

something.

“The spaghetti is ready!” Joanna repeated softly.

“Oh, okay!” Bruce raised his eyebrows and put on a relaxed expression.

Then, he picked up tableware and began to eat spaghetti with relish: “Mmm, it’s delicious!”

“I really hope I can eat the spaghetti cooked by my wife every day in the future.”

Upon hearing this, Joanna watched him eating spaghetti with a complicated expression.

On second thought, there was actually no need to worry too much! The Everett Group had the strongest legal

team. No matter how difficult the lawsuit was, it would not be a big problem.

“Are

you

full? If not, I can cook you more.”

“Yes, I’m full.”

The two of them looked at each other for more than ten seconds. Joanna felt as if a magnet had hit her heart and

quickly retracted her gaze.

“Change your clothes and rest. I still have to go to the hospital!”

“I’ll go with you!”

“Mm.”

The two of them didn’t say anything else. They got into the car and rushed to the hospital.

Along the way, the two of them did not talk much. It was just that Bruce’s hand kept holding Joanna’s hand.

Although Bruce was released, he was restricted from leaving the country until the case was investigated.

At the children’s hospital, the two of them entered the ward one after another.

“Baby Lilia, Daddy and Mommy are here to see you.”

On the hospital bed, Lilia had an oxygen tube inserted into her nose. Her little face was so pale that there was no

trace of blood.

“Daddy, where have you been for the past two days? Why aren’t you here with me?”

Lilia had already completed the first round of chemotherapy. She was so thin that she was nothing but skin and

bones.

Bruce came to the bed and looked at his daughter gently. “Isn’t Daddy here now?”

Lilia blinked weakly and looked at him, saying in a childish voice, “Daddy, can you accompany me every day in the

future?”

“Of course!” Bruce reached out and gently caressed his daughter’s pale face.

“Hehe, thank you, Daddy.” Lilia smiled happily.

The attending doctor also walked into the ward. “Mr. Everett, Miss Haynes.”

“Dr. Clayton, how long will it take for Lilia to undergo the second chemotherapy?”

“According to the current recovery progress, there’s still two weeks before the second chemotherapy.”

“Okay, I understand.

“No matter what method you use, please must cure Lilia.”

“Mr. Everett, don’t worry. We’ll do our best.”

At the nurses‘ station, the two nurses could not help but discuss.

“Hey, I heard that Mr. Everett was taken away by the Independent Commission Against Corruption for investigation

the day before yesterday. I didn’t expect him to come out so quickly.”

“Have you seen the news these two days? I heard that the illegal financing of the Everett Group is more than 2

billion dollars. There’s also suspected money laundering.”

“There’s also something about the Green Bay project. I heard that the bribery in that project alone is more than

200 million dollars. If these charges are true, Mr. Everett will probably go to jail.”

“Alas, these are all groundless rumors. There’s no concrete evidence yet. Besides, don’t you know who Mr. Everett

is? He’s very powerful. Even if he really committed a financial crime, he’ll probably settle it quickly.”

“Which top tycoon like him has a clean background? That’s why the rich people will be richer and richer while the

poor people will be poorer and poorer.”

“That’s true. We, ordinary people, should live our lives standing on solid ground!”

“However, Mr. Everett really dotes on his daughter. His daughter really has a lucky fate. She is lucky enough to be

Mr. Everett’s daughter.”

The other nurse pursed her lips. “She’s just a sick girl. What’s to envy? This is all karma for capitalists who have

done too many bad things.”
