The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 647

“That’s all. Then I’ll go back first.”

When Joanna heard this, she quickly tried her best to persuade him to stay. “Mr. Lewis, we’ve already set up a

banquet to welcome you…”

“No need. It’s best if Mr. Everett wakes up. If he doesn’t, there’s nothing I can do.”

Mr. Lewis said with a gloomy expression. He ignored Joanna and Gael’s persuasion and insisted on leaving.

Moreover, he did not accept any payment or gratitude. He even refused the remuneration offered by Joanna.

Then Mr. Lewis left.

A few caregivers could not help but discuss it in private.

One of the caregivers, Jane, could not help but question, “Mr. Lewis just came over to take a look and not do

anything. Is this really useful?”

Another caregiver, Laura, said with a devout expression, “Mr. Lewis is really capable. If he suggests doing it this

way, it must be useful.”

“I hope so. Mr. Everett has been unconscious for three months. It’s time for him to wake up.”

“That’s right. If he doesn’t wake up soon, Mrs. Joanna and the Everett family will be in trouble again.”

“Mr. Lurk is really too much. He actually wants to sue Mrs. Joanna. It’s really ridiculous. Everyone in Greyport knows

that Mr. Everett loves Mrs. Joanna deeply.”

“How could he have the nerve to sue Mrs. Joanna for custody of Mr. Everett?”

Jane could not help but sneer. She said, “It’s all because he wants to take over Mr. Everett’s assets. I really hope

that Mr. Everett can wake up and teach Mr. Lurk a lesson.”

Joanna was in the ward.

Joanna did not dare to be negligent at all. She instructed caregivers over and over again.

“All of you, make sure to keep an eye on it. Don’t let anyone touch the bowl filled with water under the bed.”

“Yes, Mrs. Joanna.”

Despite Mr. Lewis’s assistance, it was still essential to have the doctor’s full dedication to treatment. There should

be no room for negligence at any stage.

After that, the first day came.

Joanna stayed by Bruce’s side for almost 24 hours, constantly observing his condition. She hoped to be the first one

to know when he woke up.

Unfortunately, a whole day passed.

There was nothing different. Bruce remained lying quietly.

Then the second day came.

As usual, there was still no significant change. Everything was the same as yesterday.

On the third day, everything was the same.

Meanwhile, Joanna’s phone was almost exploding with notifications.

She had not been to the company for three days. And all sorts of issues were piling up on her. Especially since she

had just managed to get the company’s order back on track. But now it was reverting back to its previous chaotic

state as she let go. Gael could tell that Joanna was anxious. He persuaded her gently. He said, “Mrs. Joanna, why

don’t you go to the company to take care of it? We’ll take care of things here.”

After Joanna heard that, she looked up at Gael.

She was more at ease with Gael. If it was he who watched over Bruce throughout the night, she would feel more

reassured.

“Well. Okay. You must keep an eye on him twenty–four hours. If anything happens, call me immediately.

“Mrs. Joanna, don’t worry.”

Joanna gave a few more reminders before heading to the company uneasily.

Then Joanna arrived at the Everett Group.

After nearly two months of restructuring by Joanna, the shareholders were much more honest. A few of them had

filled up the hole in the company’s accounts and returned the embezzled money.

In response to this, Joanna chose to turn a blind eye and not pursue extreme measures against them.

After all, it wasn’t the right time yet. Her priority was to maintain the current order of the company and ensure its

smooth operation.

Everything would have to wait until Bruce woke up.

Joanna was in the office.

Andy diligently reported his work over the past few days to Joanna. Although Joanna hadn’t been in the office during

this time, the shareholders had noticeably become more well–behaved.

“Andy, how’s the preparation for the lawsuit?”

“Mr. Jameson is ready. Miss Haynes, don’t worry.”

“Well. That’s good.”

“Then I’ll go out first.”

“Well. Make me a cup of coffee,” Joanna said habitually. But then she realized something.

She was pregnant now and could not drink coffee.

“Forget it. Pour me a glass of lemonade.”

“Okay, Miss Haynes,” Andy replied and turned to leave.

Joanna was busily attending to the company’s affairs. She aimed to wrap up all the work from the past few days as

much as possible.

At the same time, she had to find some time to deal with Liam.

She was so busy that she ended up being busy until noon.

It was twelve o’clock in the noon.

Andy knocked on the door again and entered.

“Miss Haynes, it’s already noon. Should I order lunch for you or instruct the nutritionist to deliver it?”

Joanna looked up at the clock and realized that it was already noon. “It’s already 12 o’clock?”

“Yes.”

Joanna rubbed her sore back and stood up from her office chair, supporting her belly. As soon as she stood up, she

felt a sharp pain in her stomach. “Ouch.”

“Miss Haynes, what’s wrong?”

“My stomach hurts a little.”

Seeing this, Andy became concerned. “Miss Haynes, you need to take care of yourself. Don’t overexert yourself

while pregnant.”

“Well. I’m fine.” Joanna endured the pain and sat down to ease the pain for a few minutes.

She was four months pregnant now, and her belly was gradually getting bigger.

To be on the safe side, she decided to temporarily put her work on hold.

After all, there was nothing more important than ensuring a healthy pregnancy.

Then she got up and was about to leave the office.

At that moment, a notification sound could be heard.

Her phone rang.

Joanna picked up her phone and looked at it. It was a call from Jaydon. Ever since the incident with Bruce, Jaydon

hadn’t been in touch with her for almost two months.

And because Joanna was worried about Bruce, she hadn’t reached out to Jaydon either.

“Hello, Jay.”

On the other end of the phone, Jaydon’s gentle and attractive voice sounded. “Joann, it’s me.”

“I know. Did something happen?”

“No. Ijust wanted to give you a call and see how you’ve been lately.”

When Joanna heard this, she raised her eyebrows slightly. And then she said gently, “I’m fine. You don’t have to

worry about

me.”

“Really?” Jaydon Grimm asked in disbelief.

After all, there hadn’t been a break in the coverage about Joanna for the past few months. Moreover, the news

about Liam planning to sue her had been making waves.

“I’m really fine…”

“Are you really fine? Don’t deliberately hide anything from me. If you need any help, just let me know.

“I will always be there to support you from behind. And I’ll step up anytime you need me,” Jaydon said. As he spoke,

he suddenly stopped.

During this period of time, he did not call Joanna.

And Joanna did not take the initiative to call him.

Although Jaydon knew that a future with Joanna was impossible, he still felt extremely disappointed and upset.

When Joanna heard Jaydon’s words, she also felt very upset. She really did not know how to repay Jaydon’s

kindness to her.

“Jay, how have you been recently?” Joanna could only pretend to be relaxed and change the topic.

In the past month or so, she had wanted to give Jaydon a call.

However, she managed to hold it back.

Bruce had encountered such a huge disaster.

In the end, a large part of the reason was that Bruce was jealous of Jaydon.

Bruce really disliked Jaydon. And even more so, he disliked Joanna being in contact with Jaydon.

Therefore, Joanna wanted to maintain a good distance from Jaydon and remain just friends.
