Comment Chapter 464 Chapter 464 Time flew, and it was already early November.
Tomorrow would be the children’s birthday, and this year, they planned to celebrate in the hospital to accompany Lilia.
Inside the ward, after the doctor finished examining Lilia and seeing that her condition had stabilized, he finally breathed a sigh ot relief.
He turned to Bruce and said, “Mr. Everett, Lilia’s recovery is progressing well. We can schedule the transplantation surgery for next week.
“If the transplantation is successful without any complications, there shouldnt be any major issues.” Bruce and Joanna listened with mixed emotions. “That's wonderful. Thank you. Dr. Clayton! When Lilia recovers, | will take her to visit you The doctor's expression turned serious. “Mr. Everett, please rest assured; we will do our utmost to treat her.” “On Monday next week, Mr. Everett will undergo various tests to prepare for the surgery.” “Okay, | see.” “I'll take my leave now.” “Alright.” The next day, people gathered inside the hospital ward.
The ward was adorned with an extra touch of reverie and warmth.
Colorful balloons, flowers, and various decorations that children adore adorned every corner. Nurses and doctors joined in to celebrate the birthday party.
Servants delivered a five—tiered cake and various exquisite pastries, imported fruits, and more.
“Happy birthday to you, Happy birthday to you...” A group of people gathered around Lilia’s bed, singing the birthday song.
Instead of wearing her regular hospital gowns, Lilia donned a beautiful princess dress, complete with a wig and a crystal crown adorning her head.

Happy birthday to you too, Davian, Irvin.” Joanna smiled, presenting the carefully prepared gifts, one by one, to her children. “These are the gifts Mommy prepared for you.” “Thank you, Mommy.” Lilia received her favorite Barbie doll, while Davian and Irvin were thrilled to receive Transformers and Iron Man action figures.
As the three were only small kids, the gifts for them were not extravagantly expensive items, but they contained deep.
affections.
Once the three little ones received their gifts from Mommy, they turned their expectant gazes to Daddy. “Daddy, what gift did you prepare?” “Haha. Bruce smiled faintly and had his assistant bring an exquisitely wrapped box.
The exquisiteness and elegance of the box gave away that it contained something valuable.
“Wow, what's this?” The three little ones were particularly excited, their eyes fixated on the delicate box.
To their disappointment, Bruce didn't hand the gifts to the children. Instead, he passed it to Joanna and said affectionately.
“Darling, this is for you” Joanna was taken aback. “It's not my birthday, why are you giving me a gift?” Bruce contemplated Joanna, his voice gentle as he said, “Today is not only the birthday of our children, but also the anniversary of your suffering. Of course | should give you a gift.
“Thank you for giving me three precious children” Joanna listened, pausing for a few seconds before slowly accepting the box.
The box was elegantly wrapped, and she presumed it contained jewelry, possibly pearls.
Chapter 464 “Mommy, open it and see what's inside!” The three little ones urged eagerly.
Seeing their expectant eyes, Joanna had no choice but to open the box. To her surprise, inside lay a yellow diamond necklace accompanied by matching earrings and a ring. “Wow, it's...” Joanna's expression didn’t show joy but rather a tinge of melancholy.
He had already given her a set of blue diamond jewelry and a pink diamond ring. She really did not want to accept such a precious thing.
Bruce and Joanna overheard the admiring whispers from the doctors and nurses around them.
“Wow, Mr. Everett is so generous to Miss Haynes!” “This yellow diamond set must be worth millions. He's truly extravagant.” “Amazing. | really envy Miss Haynes. She must have accumulated good karma in her past life... Two young nurses couldn't help but gasp.
Even if she couldn't possess such a precious yellow diamond set, being able to witness it with her own eyes was awe-inspiring.
Bruce smiled indulgently. “Do you like it?” “It's too precious. | can’t accept it.” Joanna collected herself and hurriedly returned the box to Bruce.
She had no intention of reconciling with him, she knew she couldn't accept such an expensive gift.
Bruce frowned at her refusal. “This is for you, and you deserve it.” “No, it's too valuable. | can't accept it.” “Why are you being so estranged from me?” Joanna's cheeks flushed, and her heart raced. “It's not like that. I'm just...” Irvin grinned, attempting to persuade her. “Mommy, just accept it! The yellow diamond necklace and earrings will look stunning on you.” “Yes. Mommy will look incredibly beautiful wearing this jewelry set. Mommy, just put it on to show us.” Lilia chimed in! Joanna frowned. It wasn't that she disliked it; she simply couldn't accept it.
Accepting such an expensive gift would feel as if she were accepting his love.
“Mommy, put it on!” Bruce took the diamond and said, “Let me put it on for you.” Joanna froze, finding herself unable to refuse.
Bruce gently put it around her neck.

She had thought about refusing, but seeing the children’s joyful faces, she silently accepted it.
“Daddy, what gift did you prepare for us?” “Of course, | did!” Bruce smiled faintly, handing three contracts to the three little ones.
The three little ones looked puzzled. They had expected toys or pretty clothes from Daddy, never anticipating that he would give them a folder. “Daddy, what's this?” Joanna also looked confused. It didn’t seem like a gift at all. “Bruce, what's inside?” “It's the City Trust Fund!” “What?” The three little ones didn’t understand what it was and looked bewildered.
Joanna, too, was startled. She looked at Bruce in astonishment.
The people around them couldn't help but cover their mouths in surprise.
The City Trust Fund was internationally renowned, specializing in managing the assets and legacies of the wealthy.
Some affluent individuals worried that their children would squander their inheritance after their passing.
Therefore, they would annually invest a sum of money in the foundation or deposit a substantial amount. The dedicated trust fund would then manage the funds.
Chapter 464 In the event of bankruptcy or financial difficulties, the beneficiaries could receive a monthly income from the foundation, ensuring they would never face deprivation in their lifetime.
When Joanna's mother passed away, she entrusted all her assets to the City Trust Fund, resulting in Joanna receiving a monthly sum of money from the foundation all these years.
As Joanna absentmindedly opened the folder, however, she was even more astonished.
