The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 427

Joanna Haynes took a deep breath and did not ask further.

To be honest, she didn’t really want to get too close to Roxanne Haynes.

It was just that Roxanne kept begging her pitifully so she could not bear to reject her.

“Is Lilia’s pneumonia cured?”

“Child pneumonia is very difficult to deal with. It wouldn’t be cured so quickly. It will take at least half a month for

her to recover completely.”

When Joanna heard this, she became even more worried. “I want to see Lilia!”

“Alright!”

Bruce Everett called over the doctors and nurses to help Joanna change into a surgical gown and put on an isolation

mask!

He only brought her to Lilia’s ward after all the protective work was done.

In the children’s ward.

Lilia had been hospitalized for many days and was now lying weakly on the bed.

“Lilia, mommy is here to see you!”

Lilia opened her eyes weakly when she heard the voice. She immediately called out, “Mommy, daddy!”

“Are you still not feeling well?”

Lilia’s large pearl–like eyes blinked as she said in a cute voice, “I just feel dizzy and I don’t have any strength.”

“Rest well. You’ll regain your strength when you have recovered.”

“Okay!”

Bruce turned to the nurse and said, “Watch Lilia carefully. Report to me immediately if anything happens.”

“Got it, Mr. Everett!” The nurse replied respectfully.

Joanna’s heart ached when she saw how sick her daughter was. She would give anything to hug Lilia now.

However, she had also caught a serious cold. She was afraid of infecting Lilia so she held herself back.

“Let’s go! I’ll send you back to the ward.”

“Okay.”

After returning to the ward. Joanna was extremely sleepy again.

She fell asleep again right after she lay on the bed.

She had just slept for a little more than ten minutes.

She was stuck in a nightmare. Her entire body kept twitching and she could not wake up no matter what.

Fortunately, Bruce had been standing guard at her side and immediately woke her up. “Joanna, wake up quickly.”

“Ah!” Joanna screamed and opened her eyes.

“What’s wrong? Did you have another nightmare?”

Joanna was drenched in sweat. She threw herself into Bruce’s arms in a panic and said in fear, “Bruce, I, I want to

leave the hospital.”

“What’s wrong?”

Joanna felt chills all over and could not help but tremble. She replied, “Nothing’s wrong. I just don’t want to stay in

the hospital. I just dreamed of something especially terrifying again.”

Thinking back about the nightmare, it was really too terrifying. The hospital’s dark energy was too heavy compared

to other places so the nightmares were much more intense.

“Don’t be afraid! The nightmares are all not real”

“I want to be discharged. I don’t want to stay here anymore.”

“Okay, alright. I’ll get someone to settle the discharge procedures now. Let’s go home.”

Joanna hugged Bruce tightly and shivered in his arms.

It felt as though she was really trapped by something. As long as she closed her eyes, all kinds of horrifying scenes

would flood her mind.

“Andy, go and settle the discharge procedures.”

“Yes, Mr. Everett.”

Sherane Bay Villa.

Bruce brought Joanna out of the hospital.

Back home.

Bruce immediately called the butler over and asked, “Gael, what’s the date of the appointment I asked you to

arrange with

Mr. Lewis?”

“Ive already made an appointment and Mr. Lewis can come over tomorrow.”

“Good!”

“Serve him well tomorrow. Make sure he is satisfied.”

“You can rest assured, Mr. Everett!”

The next day

Bruce sent a driver to pick up Mr. Lewis.

At around nine in the morning.

The driver drove Mr. Lewis over.

Mr. Lewis was a man who was shorter than 5.3 feet. It was said that when he was in Pedrana, he suddenly obtained

some divine power one day and became a spirit medium.

This phenomenon was also circulated in many areas in the North. However, within the country, this was commonly

known as being possessed by a spirit.

This phenomenon was very common in the countryside in the early years. Usually, an ordinary person would

suddenly receive the guidance of some spirits and become the messenger of the spirits to the people.

However, it was difficult to distinguish if this phenomenon had really happened to a person and it was something

that could certainly not be explained scientifically.

“Mr. Everett, Mr. Lewis has arrived.”

Mr. Lewis was wearing pure white cotton clothes and pure cotton cloth shoes. He was also carrying a canvas bag

with a trigram printed on it.

Although he was not tall, he still had a sage–like aura.

“Hello! Long time no see.”

“Hello.” Mr. Lewis greeted as he shook hands with Bruce.

“Let’s have some coffee first!”

“Gael has already told me the situation!”

“Oh, then how do you think we should resolve this?” It was rare for Bruce to be so polite to someone.

“Let me take a look inside the house first.”

As he spoke, Mr. Lewis took out something that looked like an eight trigram mirror and shone it around the room.

In the room!

Joanna was still lying weakly on the bed. At that moment, Mr. Lewis went in to take a look around the room!

When he came out, his expression did not look optimistic. He said, “Mr. Everett, the situation is not very good.”

Bruce was also inexplicably nervous as he asked, “What do you mean by that?”

“Ms. Haynes is haunted by resentment which is why she has nightmares every night.”

“So what do we do now?”

“This thing has too much resentment. I’m afraid it won’t be easy to get…” Mr. Lewis‘ face was solemn as he spoke,

Bruce did not understand the professional jargon he was speaking. He only instructed anxiously, “Mr. Lewis, don’t

worry and just do it. Money is not a problem.”

“Don’t worry, I’ll get it done.”

“Prepare these things first.” Mr. Lewis instructed as he made a long list.

“Gael, go and prepare the things immediately.”

“Yes, sir!”

Mr. Lewis set up a formation, drew talismans, and offered sacrifices for the entire day.

Joanna did not believe in such things either.

However, Mr. Lewis was very famous. Many of his clients were rich people and celebrities.

She had been sick for so long that she had no choice but to believe it.

Needless to say!

It was quite strange. After Mr. Lewis finished his ritual, Joanna really felt much better!

That night, she did not have a nightmare.

Seeing that she looked a little better and was sleeping soundly, Bruce asked. “Are you feeling better?”

“I feel much better today.”

“Damn, this Mr. Lewis is really something.

Joanna smiled. She also felt that it was very magical!

Previously, she had not been able to recover from her fever. She had seen all kinds of Eastern and Western

medicine. Ordinary treatment methods could not cure her no matter what, and she kept having nightmares.

Ever since Mr. Lewis finished his ritual, she stopped having nightmares anymore. She seemed to be much more

relaxed.

“Lilia has almost recovered as well. We have to take her to Gaprington for surgery as soon as possible.”

“Yeah.”

“Bruce, I want to take a visit to Venturas.”

…” Bruce’s expression changed when he heard that.

“I was thinking that I haven’t been to Venturas for a long time. I’m still worried.”

“I’ll go with you!”

“No need!”

Bruce frowned and retorted, “I’m worried about you going alone.”

“I’ll bring a few more people.”

“Now that Ryan Haynes is dead, I don’t think we’ll encounter that kind of problem again.”

Bruce took a deep breath but did not stop her anymore. “I sure hope so!”

The next day.

Joanna packed up and prepared to go to Venturas to visit Jaydon Grimm.

Unexpectedly, as soon as she walked out of the door of Sherane Bay Villa, she saw Roxanne standing right outside

the door.

“Stop the car,” Joanna instructed before quickly getting out of the car.

“Joanna…”

“Roxy, what are you doing here?”

“I’ve been waiting for you.”

Joanna frowned and asked, “Waiting for me?”

“Bruce doesn’t allow me to see you so I have no choice but to wait here.”

“How long have you been waiting?”

“I’ve been waiting here every day. I have no other way of meeting you except waiting outside here,” Roxanne cried.

Chapter 427 “Roxy…

“Joanna, I don’t dare to be alone at home. I’m really scared.”

“I’m in a hurry now, I want to…”

“Joanna, are you still mad at me? You must still be angry with me. Otherwise, why are you not willing to talk to

me?”

“I’m not mad at you!”

“Didn’t you promise me that you would persuade Bruce? Joanna, are you lying to me? Or are you worried that I will

have bad intentions?”

“No, I really didn’t!”

“Joanna, please forgive me. If you don’t, I’ll go and die now.”

As Roxanne spoke, she dropped to her knees in front of Joanna.

“Roxy, get up quickly. I’ve really forgiven you.”

“How about this? I’ll talk to Bruce.”

“Joanna, he won’t listen to you! Bruce said that if I see you again, he’ll send me to a mental hospital.”

“Joanna. I don’t have a mental illness now. Please, I beg you. Please save me. Please don’t let Bruce send me to a

mental hospital.”

“Hurry up and get up. Don’t worry! He won’t do that with me around.”

“Boohoo, Joanna, I treated you like that in the past, but you’re still willing to forgive me. I’m really touched.”

“Get up first!”

“I’ll call Bruce now!”
