The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 653

Although Bruce had been unconscious for more than three months and had lost a lot of weight, he was 6 feet and 3

inches tall. Joanna was only as tall as his chest, which made it very difficult for her to support him.

Besides, she was pregnant. She was really helpless in the face of such a strong man.

“Be careful, Mrs. Joanna…”

“Mrs. Joanna, you’re pregnant now. Be careful!”

“Let us help Mr. Everett…”

Without waiting for servant to finish her sentence, Bruce pushed her away angrily. “No! I want Mommy to hug me!

“Okay, okay, okay. Come on. Let me help you!” Joanna quickly went forward and held Bruce’s arm. Her right arm

hugged his waist tightly and tried to help him up.

Bruce’s left arm rested on Joanna’s shoulder, which made him look like a gibbon. Then, he stood up shakily, his tall

body enveloping her.

“Don’t worry. Just relax.”

The servants stood on both sides nervously, ready to help Bruce when he fell.

Bruce smiled foolishly and hugged Joanna like a little child. “Hey! Hey!” He did not know how tall he was at all and

only wanted to get close to Joanna.

“Slow down! Slow down!” Joanna struggled to hold him.

“Hug! I want Mommy to hug me!”

Joanna felt as if a mountain was pressing down on her, but she was afraid that if she used too much force, it would

be bad for her baby. She could only hug Bruce on the spot, not daring to move a single step.

In the past, every time Bruce hugged her forcefully, he would wrap his arm around her waist and lift her up with

one hand.

Now, however, she had no idea how she could lift up such a grown-up “little kid”.

After barely moving a few steps, Joanna could no longer hold on.

“Oh no! I can’t take it anymore! Come and support him.” Joanna was drenched in sweat. When the servants saw

this, they quickly went forward to support Bruce.

There were many fractures on his body. Although they had almost healed, his muscles had atrophied after lying

down for so many days. He still had to undergo rehabilitation care and some muscle training.

“No! No! Don’t leave me, Mommy!” Seeing Joanna let go of him, Bruce was like an abandoned child, bursting into

tears anxiously.

“I’m not leaving. I’ll stay by your side, okay?”

“No… I want Mommy to hug me!”

Joanna was speechless. Her heart softened when she saw how aggrieved Bruce was.

“Be a good boy, okay? Don’t cry.”

Bruce sniffled and shrank his big head into Joanna’s arms.

“Mr. Everett, Mrs. Joanna is pregnant. It won’t be good if she hurts the baby,” Miranda coaxed Bruce softly.

The intensive caregiver also coaxed him gently, “That’s right. Mrs. Joanna is pregnant with your little baby. You must

not hurt the little baby.”

“I… I just want Mommy to hug me…”

Joanna touched Bruce’s head, took his hand, and gently placed it on her belly. “You’re the baby’s daddy, so you

can’t call me Mommy anymore, understand?”

Bruce was in a daze. As if he had understood, he smiled foolishly and touched Joanna’s belly. “Little baby? Is there a

little baby in your belly?”

This was the first time Joanna had seen such an innocent look in Bruce’s eyes. She smiled gently and said, “That’s

right! This is our baby, and you are its daddy.”

When Bruce heard this, he was even more shy. “Ha ha! Ha ha!” He couldn’t stop giggling.

Although his intelligence had regressed to that of a three- or four-year-old kid, his remaining memories of Joanna

still intermittently appeared in his brain.

All these scenes turned into a piece of information in his mind. The woman in front of him was the person he liked

the most in this world.

Joanna gently stroked the long scar on Bruce’s head again. “So, you can’t call me Mommy. You have to call me…

honey, understand?”

“Honey! Honey! Ha ha!” Bruce’s eyes narrowed into two crescent moons as he laughed foolishly for a long time.

When the servants saw this, they could not help but laugh.

It seemed that even a “fool” would be happy when he knew that he had a wife.

Looking at Bruce’s silly smile, Joanna felt her heart ache and her eyes sting.

“Honey, do… do you want to give birth to a baby for me?”

With tears in her eyes, Joanna smiled gently at him. “Yes, are you happy?”

“I-I’m happy! I’m so happy!” Bruce stammered. He clapped his hands twice and pressed his head close to Joanna’s

belly.

In the past, Bruce liked to lie on Joanna’s belly, trying to get close to the baby. Subconsciously, he still remembered

this

scene.

In the blink of an eye, it was already noon.

Joanna stayed in the hospital with Bruce for several hours.

At lunch, Joanna fed Bruce another bowl of oatmeal. After all, he had just recovered from a serious illness and his

brain was deprived of oxygen. After waking up for a while, he was about to sleep. Soon, he lay on the bed and fell

asleep.

Seeing that Bruce had fallen asleep, Joanna checked the time and found that it was almost 2 P.M. She had to go to

the company to settle some matters.

“Take care of him. I’m going to the office.”

The intensive caregiver and servants replied respectfully, “Got it, Mrs. Joanna.”

Joanna gave a few more simple instructions before rushing to the company.

There was still a lot of work to do at the company.

For the past few days, Joanna had spent most of her time in the hospital and could only go to the office every few

days.

There was already a lot of work piled up in the company. If she did not deal with it quickly, many documents and

contracts would be overdue.

Joanna rushed to the Everett Group at 2:30 P.M.

“Good afternoon, Miss Haynes.”

Joanna walked quickly to her office while talking to her business partner on the phone.

“Andy, inform the president of Sunrise Group immediately. We can meet at two in the afternoon to discuss our

cooperation.

“Also, change the meeting at Escostan to a remote one.”

Andy’s expression was solemn. “Alright, Ill make the arrangements immediately.”

As he spoke, Joanna had already walked to the door of the office. “Bring me the schedule for the next few days.

Assign all the business trips to someone else.”

“Sure, no problem.”

Joanna pushed the door open and entered the office.

The huge desk was already covered with contracts and documents that needed to be signed,

Andy carried another stack of documents over and said, “Miss Haynes, these are work reports submitted by

shareholders and adjustments made by various departments.

“Nory is facing an economic crisis. They might have to withdraw their investment.

“All the investment statements of first-tier cities such as North City, Salen City, and Greene Town are here. Please

take a look at them, Miss Haynes.”

“Okay, put them all here! I’ll check them out as soon as possible.”

“Okay.” Andy put down the documents and left the office.

Joanna hurriedly turned on her computer. There were already hundreds of messages piled up in her email. There

were many documents and contracts waiting for her signature.

Joanna could only place the paper contracts on the side in order. She had to deal with the paper contracts first

before dealing with the electronic version.

Looking at the time, she found that it was almost three o’clock in the afternoon.

Joanna did not dare to delay for a moment. She had to quickly deal with her work. After work, she had to go to the

hospital

to take care of Bruce
