The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 218 “Ugh...” Joanna couldn’t hold back the urge to retch.

Even though it was a faint sound, Jaydon still heard it on the other end of the phone.

“Joann, what's wrong? Are you feeling unwell?” “Nah, I'm fine!” Joanna swallowed hard, fighting back the nausea in her stomach.

She didn’t want Jaydon to know she was pregnant again, nor did she want him to worry any further! Jaydon pondered for a moment and asked with a touch of concern, “Are you really okay? “Joann, no matter what happens, don't hide it from me!” “Alright, | got it!” “Okay, I'll head back to Greyport tomorrow. Should be there around eight in the evening!” said Jaydon.

“Sure, want me to pick you up?” Jaydon asked worriedly, “Is that convenient for you?” “No worries! It's totally fine.” Joanna feigned composure.

“Alright then! See you tomorrow!” “Okay, see you!” Joanna quietly ended the call.

After hanging up, Joanna curled up on the sofa, frustration gnawing at her as she rubbed her stomach! Miranda walked over with a glass of milk. “Joann, what's the matter? You look so pale!” Joanna let out a sigh. I'm alright!” Miranda looked at Joanna with empathy. “Have some milk! Look at you, how much weight have you lost? “It breaks my heart!” she added, handing the milk to Joanna.

Davian and Irvin were sent away. Lilia was also away. Miranda, Kelly, and Tracy fell into a hushed silence.

Joanna was already feeling queasy, and even the slightest taste triggered her sickness. The smell of milk made her vomit.

uncontrollably.

“Ugh... Joanna retched and hurriedly rushed to the bathroom! Witnessing this, Miranda was even more shocked. “Joann, what's going on?” Joanna retched in the bathroom for a while before finally managing to stop herself from vomiting.

Having experienced it before, Miranda guessed she was pregnant. “Joann... Don't tell me you're pregnant again?” Joanna didn’t respond, but her expression grew even more despondent.

“Quick, go back to your room and lie down! You need to be extra careful during the first trimester. I'll cut up some fresh Chapter 218 fruits for you...

Joanna listened and grabbed Miranda's arm. “Miranda, you don’t have to worry about me! “I'm feeling a bit tired. I'm going to take a nap!” With that, Joanna turned around and made her way to the room.

Joanna lay in bed, her heart tangled like a jumbled knot.

Since giving birth to triplets, the thought of having another child had never crossed her mind. At this point in her life, she simply didn’t have the energy to care for and raise another baby.

After much contemplation, she came to the realization that she couldn't keep this child.

Throughout her pregnancy, she had taken numerous medications, including a hefty dose of antidepressants every day.

It posed a significant risk to the fetus, and even if she went ahead with the birth, most of the babies would be born unhealthy.

Moreover, her relationship with Bruce had become severely strained. If she insisted on having this child, Bruce would surely believe she was manipulating him through the baby.

Joanna let out a deep sigh, burying her head under the blanket.

“Baby, it's not that Mommy doesn’t want you! Mommy simply doesn’t have the ability to care for you right now. The medications I've taken would greatly affect your well-being! “It's better to end your life early than to subject you to a life of hardship!” Joanna whispered to her belly.

Uncontrollable tears streamed down her face.

She had made up her mind to terminate the pregnancy as soon as possible.

Nightfall engulfed the Everett mansion.

Bruce lay restlessly in bed, unable to sleep. He chain—-smoked two packs of cigarettes throughout the night.

Joanna was pregnant again.

He couldn't discern whether it was intentional or not.

It was too soon after his grandmother’s passing to feel any sense of joy.

Could he forgive her so easily? “Joanna, you must be doing this on purpose! Adding insult to injury! Do you think I'll forgive you just because you're pregnant? “I won't allow you to give birth...” Bruce felt an overwhelming sense of agitation.

He suspected that Joanna would go to great lengths to give birth to this child, just as she had quietly delivered three children four years ago.

Chapter 218 After all, he had taken custody of their three children.

She would undoubtedly use another child as a means to threaten and control him, making him miserable and frustrated. She was a calculating woman who wouldn't miss such a golden opportunity.

Bruce pondered and imagined Joanna using the child as leverage against him. The more he dwelled on it, the angrier he became. He wished he could find Joanna immediately and compel her to have an abortion.

The next day, Joanna rose with the early morning sun.

“Morning, Joanna!” Tracy greeted, already serving breakfast.

Joanna replied with indifference. “Yeah, good morning.” Without taking a bite of her breakfast, Joanna snatched her bag and car keys, making her way out the door.

“Joanna, don’t you want breakfast?” Tracy asked.

“I've lost my appetite. You guys go ahead!” Joanna responded, stepping outside.

Joanna hopped into her car and immediately dialed Cora’s number.

“Hey, Miss Haynes!” “Cora, get ready and come with me to Porash!” “Alright, sure!” “Wait for me downstairs. I'll be there in 20 minutes!” “Got it. Miss Haynes!” Ending the call, Joanna sped off to the company.

Twenty minutes later, Joanna picked up Cora and raced toward Customs.

“Do we need any documents?” Cora inquired.

“No need!” “Are we going to Greene Town then?” “Not quite!” Cora stared at Joanna in shock. “Then why the rush to Porash?” Joanna let out a sigh. “We're headed to the hospital!” “Miss Haynes, why are we going to the hospital?” Cora grew even more perplexed.

Joanna spoke coldly as she drove, “I'm pregnant!” “Wait, what?!” Cora exclaimed, casting an incredulous glance at Joanna's stomach.

Chapter 218 “Is it... Mr. Everett's?” she cautiously asked.

Joanna remained silent, gripping the steering wheel with an indifferent gaze fixed straight ahead.

Cora took a deep breath, hesitating to probe further.

“Are we going for a checkup? Why not go to Greyport’s hospital? It's more reputable than that in Porash...” “I'm not going for a checkup. I'm going to terminate the pregnancy!” Joanna said coldly, without a hint of sadness or hesitation. It was as if she were discussing someone else’s affairs.

Cora was left speechless. “What? Terminate the pregnancy?” “Yes! | need someone to accompany me, and after thinking it through, you're the most suitable!” She had initially planned to bring Miranda or Kelly, but they couldn't drive! After the procedure, she wouldn't be able to drive either, leaving Cora as the only option for her accompany.

Cora couldn't help but gasp and asked, “Miss Haynes, is the child in your belly Mr. Everett's?” Joanna let out a long sigh..

Although she didn't give a direct answer, her expression revealed the truth! “Miss Haynes, if the child belongs to Mr. Everett, have you discussed it with him before deciding to terminate the pregnancy? “Did he agree to the termination?” Joanna sneered. She knew Bruce so well! He likely had sinister thoughts about her.

He would probably assume she was up to her scheming ways again! In his eyes, she was nothing but a cunning woman! “I have the right to make my own decisions. | don’t need to consult anyone else! “Besides, | already have Davian, Irvin, and Lilia. | don’t want any more children in this lifetime!, “Moreover, I've been taking too much medication during pregnancy, which is harmful to the fetus. It's better to proceed. with the termination sooner!” “Alright then!” Cora didn’t dare say anything more.

Abortion was prohibited by Greyport's laws! If Joanna wanted one, she could only go to the hospital in Mossbourne! Bruce Everett had pondered all night. The more he thought, the angrier he became. He arrived early at the Haynes Group to find Joanna Haynes! This damn woman wanted to bear his child as a means of threatening him! No way! Chapter 218 “Where is Joanna?” “Mr. Everett, Miss Haynes hasn't come to the office today!” Bruce frowned, growing even angrier upon hearing this! It seemed his suspicions were correct! She had just gotten pregnant, and she couldn't wait to solidify the pregnancy! “Why didn’t she come?” “I don’t know!” Bruce took a deep breath as he dialed Joanna.

Beep beep...

On the other end of the line, a deep busy tone played. It was the sound of an international call being answered! It was clear that Joanna must have gone to Mossbourne.
