Chapter 408

Chapter 408

“Cough, cough… Joanna choked and kept coughing. She was out of breath.

Bruce quickly stopped and helped blow her back. “Did you choke?”

Joanna coughed a few times and fell weakly onto the bed with a frown.

Seeing how uncomfortable she was, Bruce’s heart ached. He put the oatmeal aside.

She couldn’t eat and only relied on glucose and nutrient solutions to support her.

In the blink of an eye.

Another two days went by.

Joanna still couldn’t eat, and her emotions were on the verge of collapse. No matter what Bruce said to her, there

was no

reaction.

At first, Bruce still wanted to hold on, just like an eagle that would only obey after its arrogance was simmered

down.

Unfortunately, he looked at Joanna’s haggard and weak state and couldn’t take it.

Miranda was even more anxious. Her heart ached so much that she couldn’t stop crying. “Joann won’t make it if

she continues like this. Boohoo!”

Bruce’s expression changed, and he sighed helplessly.

He had no choice but to call the butler.

Beep beep beep.

“Hello, Mr. Everett.”

“Butler, bring the young Masters and Miss to the hospital!”

“Will do.”

There was no way to cheer Joanna up now. He could only place his hopes on the children.

He hung up.

Half an hour later, the butler brought Davian, Irvin, and Lilia to the hospital.

“Daddy, what’s wrong? Why did you bring us to the hospital?”

The children still did not know what had happened. They looked at Bruce innocently and curiously!

Bruce bent down and rubbed Davian and Irvin’s heads. “Baby, Mommy is sick!”

“Daddy brought you here because I hope you can be by Mommy’s side and comfort her, okay?”

“Is Mommy sick again? Is it serious?”

“Mommy… isn’t in a good mood. Can you make her happy?”

“Yes, yes.”

“Go in!”

The two little guys did not say anything else and hurriedly walked toward the ward.

In the ward.

Joanna was still lying lifeless, like a soulless doll.

She was disheartened and had nothing left to live for.

The two little guys pushed the door open and walked in.

“Mommy.”

Looking at their haggard and weak mommy on the bed, the two little guys immediately cried. “Mommy, what’s

wrong?”

“Why are you sick again?”

The two little guys ran to the head of Joanna’s bed and stood in front crying!

Joanna did not seem to hear him and was unconcerned.

“Mominy, open your eyes and look at me. It’s Davian!” Davian was sobbing as he shook Joanna’s arm.

Chapter 408

Irvin was also frightened. He looked at Bruce with red circles under his eyes. “Daddy, what happened to Mommy?”

Bruce did not say anything. He placed Lilia on the bed. “Mommy, open your eyes and look at us! It’s Lilia.”

Lilia threw herself into Joanna’s arms. She started crying as she spoke.

“Mommy, Mommy, wake up!”

No matter how much the children cried, Joanna did not open. her eyes.

Seeing his mommy not react had little Irvin sobbing. “Sob sob sob. Daddy, is Mommy going to die?”

When Davian heard this, his face fell, and he slapped Irvin’s head. “Shut up. Mommy won’t die. Mommy is just too

tired and fell asleep

When Lilia heard Irvin’s words, she cried harder and kept shaking Joanna. “Mommy, open your eyes! It’s your

precious Lilia. Mommy, don’t you want me anymore?”

The three little children cried their hearts out.

Bruce’s heart also exploded in pain.

If Joanna died, he didn’t know what would happen to the children.

“Mommy, boo boo boo…” The little ones‘ cries rose and fell.

Joanna’s eyes were still closed. She did not respond at all.

Davian cried and suddenly looked at Bruce angrily. “Daddy, what’s wrong with Mommy? Why is she so sick?”

Bruce frowned and could not say a word.

“Daddy, did you bully Mommy again? Why would she be so sick?”

”

Bruce rolled his eyes and let out a deep breath!

Davian looked at Bruce angrily. “You big bad man. You must have bullied Mommy again.”

Irvin rashly advised his brother, “Brother, don’t blame Daddy!”

Bruce sighed helplessly. Seeing the children chattering and crying made him distraught. His plan was useless.

“You should all

go back!”

“We’re not leaving. We’re staying to take care of Mommy.”

“You guys need to go back. When Mommy is better, you can come back and see her.”

Davian’s eyes widened stubbornly. “No, we’re not leaving.”

Bruce was running out of patience. He opened the door and shouted, “Butler, quickly come and take the young

Masters and Miss back home!”

When the butler heard this, he hurriedly entered the ward with the nanny.

“Young Masters, Miss, let’s go home!”

“I’m not leaving. I want to be with Mommy. I want to take care of Mommy.”

“Hurry up and take them away.” Bruce frowned and shouted.

The butler and nanny did not hesitate. They hurriedly carried and pulled the little fellows away.

After the children lef

Bruce was furious. He stomped his feet and walked to the head of the bed.

“Joanna, what do you want? Get up.”

Bruce grabbed her shoulders as he spoke and forced her to sit up.

Joanna sat crookedly like a snake whose spine had been pulled out.

Bruce’s eyes turned red as he shook her shoulders in exasperation. “Joanna, can you not be like this? Haven’t you

always been the strong one? Why have you been so easily defeated?”

“Pull yourself together. Didn’t you want to take revenge on me? Get up and take your revenge on me! How can you

have your revenge like this?”

Joanna’s head swayed as Bruce swayed.

Bruce angrily let go, and Joanna lay back on the bed softly!

“I’m so fucking annoyed!” Bruce cursed himself. He was highly frustrated. He got up and left the room to smoke.

After Bruce left.

Joanna’s eyes suddenly opened…

An unfathomable gloominess appeared in her beautiful eyes!

She did that to take revenge on him.

A dark thought suddenly flashed through her mind.

Revenge on a man.

The best way was to pretend to be in love with him. Let him believe it. Let him sink so deep that he couldn’t

extricate

himself.

Then, she would tell him the truth in desperation and completely disappear from his world.

Bruce seemed cold and arrogant!

He had a strong desire for control and was overly paranoid about love. A man with such a character was easily hurt

by love.

He loved her!

Then why didn’t she pretend to love him? Wait until he was deeply involved. Then leave him and let him live in pain

forever.

20 minutes later!

After smoking two cigarettes, Bruce returned to the ward with resentment.

When he arrived at the ward, he realized Joanna had opened her eyes.

Although Joanna still looked frail, she had regained a trace of vitality. “Joanna… Bruce rushed to the bed to inspect

her.

As he approached, Joanna frowned and coughed. “Ahem……”

Bruce subconsciously took two steps back. “Do I smell like smoke?”

Joanna blinked weakly. “…I’m so thirsty. I want to drink water!”

Joanna took the initiative to talk to Bruce, which made him feel flattered. “Okay, okay, okay. I’ll get some water

now”

“Do you want something hot or cold? Or do you want a drink?”

“Forget it. I’ll pour you a glass of warm water!”

After saying that, Bruce hurriedly went to pour water.

He walked to the water dispenser and filled half a cup with hot water, then the other half with cold water.

He took a sip and felt that the temperature was just right. Then, he hurriedly handed it to Joanna.

“Here’s the water.”

As Bruce spoke, he helped Joanna up. “I’ll feed you!”

Joanna leaned weakly in his arms and gently drank water.

This action was quite ordinary.

However, Bruce’s heart was pounding non–stop..

He enjoyed the feeling of Joanna leaning into his arms. He liked the feel of her relying on him even more.

“Drink slowly, don’t choke, Bruce reminded her gently as if feeding a child water.

Joanna took a few more sips and stopped.

“Cough cough.”

Bruce frowned and said dotingly, “Look, I told you to slow down, but you didn’t listen. You drank so quickly. Did you

choke?”
