Chapter 564
Upon hearing that, Bruce instantly put on a loving and gentle smile. “You guys are good kids. Well, Daddy and
Mommy didn’t have a fight. You’re overthinking!”
“Really?” The three little fellows were skeptical.
“Of course. Daddy and Mommy will never fight. We’re the most loving couple. You know, Mommy caught a cold and
doesn’t feel well. That’s all.”
As he spoke, he wrapped his arm around Joanna’s shoulder and affectionately kissed her on the lips.
“Isn’t that right, honey? Tell them how much we love each other.”
As Joanna listened, her eyes revealed a hint of despair.
The word “loving” echoed in her mind.
She found it ridiculous.
However, she did not want to expose him in front of the children, nor did she want them to worry or be frightened.
She extended her hand to gently caressed her daughter’s cheek, then she said with immense weakness. “Sweetie,
Mommy’s caught a cold. Don’t worry, eh? Cough. Cough.”
Lilia quickly reached out her tiny hand to touch her mother’s forehead.
“Oh. Mommy, your forehead is so hot. And why do you have so many bruises on your neck? Does it hurt a lot?”
Lilia’s

Last night, Bruce went crazy and left many hickeys on her body.
Her delicate skin appeared particularly concerning today.. and it looked as if she had been beaten.
Irvin also said anxiously. “That’s right! Mommy, why do you have bite marks on your arms? Who bit you?”
Faced with the children’s questions, the father pursed his lips with a gloomy expression.
A cold smile appeared on Joanna’s lips as she replied weakly, “It’s nothing. I got bitten by a dog by accident.”
*Pit!”
After hearing that, Bruce’s eyes narrowed instantly. He was filled with rage and he wished to vent his anger
immediately.
“Bitten by a dog? That’s not good. What if it was a rabid dog? You might get rabies. Mommy, you need to get a
rabies vaccine.”
Joanna’s gaze coldly swept over the children’s father. Tll get the rabies vaccine after I have recovered from the
cold.”
“Yeah, you gotta get a rabies shot.”
Irvin frowned, looking worried as he commented, “Well, I don’t want to keep a Tibetan Mastiff anymore. If it bites,
I’ll have to get a rabies vaccine too.”
Davian wore a cold expression, saying. “Dogs that bite people must be put down, or they’ll bite again.”
Bruce could not bear to listen anymore. At this point, his cheek bulged as he clenched his teeth. “Mommy hasn’t
eaten yet. Tell her to eat something!”
‘Mommy, why aren’t you eating? You should eat something!”
Joanna let out a sigh. “I’m not hungry
“You can’t skip meals. Even if you’re sick, you still need to eat on time.” The three children bombarded her.
“Cough, cough.” She weakly coughed a few times. Due to the fever, she now lacked strength. “Mommy is tired and
wants to rest for a while. Why don’t you and Daddy go out and play?”
“Right, didn’t Daddy say he would take us horseback riding? Can you take us today, Daddy?”
Bruce took a deep breath, then said, “Some other day! I need to stay with Mommy today. Don’t disturb her rest,
eh? Go play.”
“Okay! Mommy, you need to rest well!”
“Yes, sure…”
The children left.
In an instant, Bruce’s expression shifted, and he looked at Joanna with cold eyes.
“Joanna, what did you mean by that? Bitten by a rabid dog? How dare you? Do you want more punishment?”
As he spoke, he sat on the bed, leaning over with half of his body.
Seeing this, her heart sank. “Bruce, I’m begging you. Can you stop behaving like this?”.
“It depends on whether you’ll be good or not. If you listen to me, maybe I’ll be a little gentler with you. If you don’t
behave, I might do all sorts of things.”

Her eyes were filled with tears while a hint of coldness passed over her face. Right now, she did not want to say
anything more to him.
There was no point in talking anyway.
To escape from the suffering, she must distance herself from him as much as possible. If she stayed with a man like
him, it would be equivalent to living with a time bomb, and she might get shattered into pieces at any moment.
Observing her silence, he added angrily. In the future, you will still be a good mother in front of the children. But
when we are alone, you are just my toy. Do you understand?”
She tightly closed her eyes, refusing to look at him any longer or utter a single word to him.
“I’m talking to you. Do you hear me?”
She kept her eyes shut, allowing him to shake her.
Her response, however, drove him to the brink of madness.
She was like a flexible knife, seemingly harmless but capable of inflicting significant harm.
She excelled at the silent treatment and disliked arguing with him.
It seemed to him that no matter how angry or violent he became, she would retaliate in the gentlest yet most
devastating way.
It always drove lum to the brink of madness, making him want to conquer her in bed.
