The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 798 “Darcy, Carson, you should go to Antlen to protect Bruce! “No matter what, he has to have someone by his side. Even if you can’t enter the research institute, you should stay in Antlen and be prepared to receive him anytime.” “Alright, we’ll arrange it immediately.” Because the situation was urgent, by the time Joanna arrived at the airport, Aria had already boarded the plane with Bruce.

Darcy and Carson had no choice but to book plane tickets immediately and take a passenger plane to Antlen.

Subsequently, Joanna also booked a flight back to Greyport.

Sherane Bay Villa.

Joanna reached Greyport exhausted the following morning.

She was in a daze all along till she returned home.

Miranda and Gael were waiting for her at the door.

Seeing that she was finally back, Miranda quickly went up to her “Joann, you're finally back?” - “Madam, how is Mr. Everett now?” Gael also looked anxious.

Joanna did not answer their questions. Joanna shook her head tiredly and sadly. Then, she walked towards her room.

She was exhausted now and had not slept for two days.

Coupled with her anxiety, she felt like she was about to collapse.

Miranda followed behind her and brought her slippers and pajamas. “Joann, can | get a doctor to look at you? You look so pale.” “No need. I'm tired now. | want to rest for a while,” Joanna said weakly and lay on the bed.

When Davian and Irvin heard that Joanna was back, they immediately ran in. “Mommy, where's Daddy?” “Didn’t Daddy come back with you? Didn't he say that he wouldn't go on business trips anymore? Why is he gone for so many days?” Irvin pouted and muttered unhappily.

Joanna's heart skipped a beat, and she almost cried out when she heard this. She did not know how to answer their questions.

However, she still had to be strong in front of the children. She did not want to pass this pain to the children.

“Bruce has something important to do. He might not be coming back for a while.” The two little boys looked disappointed when they heard that. “I see. When will Daddy come back?” “Could it be that, like the previous time, he has been gone for over half a month?” “Daddy has promised us not to go on business trips again, but now he has been gone for four to five days.” “He also said he would teach us how to shoot on Sunday. He didn’t keep his word. Hmph, another holiday wasted.

Joanna widened her eyes and tried her best to control her tears. “Be good. Go out and play first. I'm a little tired and want to rest for a while.” When Davian heard this, he hurriedly touched Joanna's forehead. He said with concern, “Mommy, are you sick?” “No, | just came back. I'm tired and want to sleep.” “Alright then. Mommy, have a good rest,” Davian said as he thoughtfully covered Joanna with the blanket.

“Mommy, we'll go out first.” “Alright.

The two little boys dared not disturb Joanna anymore and left the room uneasily.

Irvin lowered his voice and said furiously, “Davian, don’t you think Mommy is a little strange? “She looks sad.” Davian’s cute face tensed up. “I noticed it too. Mommy's eyes are so red. She must have been crying for a long time.” “Davian, do you think Daddy could be...” Irvin hesitated, his eyes filled with uneasiness.

“What will happen to Daddy? Irvin frowned and said furiously, “Do you think Daddy cheated on Mommy? “That's why Mommy is so sad. Moreover, Daddy seems to have had a relationship with a woman surnamed Bridges. | heard that she’s Daddy's first love. Do you think she has an affair with Daddy?” “Don't talk nonsense. How is that possible?” “Why not? Daddy is so handsome and rich. Those women must want to hook up with Daddy.

“Daddy is @ man. Inevitably, he won't be able to control himself when he sees a pretty woman. Perhaps he has already hooked up with that woman. Otherwise, why would Mommy be so sad recently?” When Davian heard this, his eyes darkened, and he felt extremely uneasy.

Although they were only seven years old, they already understood many things. In particular, they had matured very early since they were young and were much more intelligent than kids of the same age.

“What if Daddy cheats on Mommy?” “Sigh, | don’t know either. | hope Daddy doesn’t let Mommy down. Otherwise, I'll hate him so much,” Davian said as he clenched his fists.

“I'll hate Daddy so much too, but | hate the woman who seduced Daddy even more! When | grow up, I'll especially teach those women with ulterior motives a lesson.” When Davian heard this, his expression was still solemn. “Don't tell Lilia too much about these things, lest she gets sad.” “Yes, | understand.

“It's a pity that | don’t have the phone number of Bridges. Otherwise, | would call her and scold her, telling her to stay away from Daddy.” “There’s no evidence yet. Don’t jump to conclusions first. Perhaps Daddy is busy working.” “Let's hope so!” Irvin shrugged with a depressed expression.

In the bedroom.

Joanna lay weakly on the bed. She was mentally exhausted, and her entire body was exhausted.

However, she still could not fall asleep. She kept feeling muddle-headed.

How could she sleep when she had something on her mind? “Bruce, you must be safe.

“I'm begging you, please don’t leave me and the children behind!” In the afternoon, Joanna slept for four to five hours before waking up again.

Aria should have arrived at Antlen based on the time.

Beep, beep, beep.

Joanna hurriedly called Aria.

She wanted to ask about Bruce's situation.

“The number you dialed cannot be reached at the moment...” “What happened? Why isn’t Aria answering her phone?” Joanna frowned and looked at the time. It had been more than 20 hours.

Logically speaking, Aria should have arrived in Antlen long ago.

Now that she could not contact her, she felt even more uneasy.

Beep, beep, beep.

No one picked up the phone. In the end, there was a voicemail notification.

“Hello, this is Aria. It's inconvenient for me to answer your call for the time being. You can leave a message for me, and I'll get back to you as soon as possible.” Hearing this, Joanna could only leave a voicemail message. “Miss Bridges, have you gotten off the plane? How is Bruce now? “I'm worried about him. Please get back to me as soon as you hear my message. Sorry to trouble you.” After leaving the voice message, Joanna took off the blanket and got out of bed.

She had not showered for two days and had not eaten anything. She had low blood sugar. She would probably be taken to the hospital if she did not start eating now.

After leaving the room, Miranda was waiting for her in the living room.

Seeing that she had woken up, she hurriedly said with concern, “Joann, you're awake? Are you hungry? “I've made you some lobster bisque. Hurry up and drink a bowl!” “Yes, okay.” “Then I'll bring it over for you now,” Miranda said and hurried to the kitchen.

After a while, a bowl of lobster bisque that had been prepared for hours was brought out.

Then, she took a bowl and spoon. “Joann, your body is too weak. You need to drink some for energy.” “Thank you, Miranda.” Joanna took the spoon and gently stirred the lobster bisque in the bowl.

“Joann, what happened to Mr. Everett?” “He was infected with a virus and has been sent to Antlen for treatment.” “Infected with a virus? Is it that serious?” “Yes. Aria took him to Antlen and said she would find a way to treat him.” When Miranda heard this, she felt uneasy. “Joann, since Mr. Everett is so seriously ill, why don’t you go with him?” Joanna sighed and frowned. “Aria said that their research institute is not open to outsiders. It's useless even if | go.” When Miranda heard this, she was even more surprised. She said suspiciously, “Joann, could this be a trap set up by Miss Bridges?” “What's the trap?” “Think about it. She's already eyeing Mr. Everett. Now that she insists on taking Mr. Everett away and doesn't allow you to follow her, she probably has ulterior motives, right?” “He's sick. Both of the most authoritative hospitals in Sootheration have verified that he’s infected with a rare virus. There's no way to treat him in our country for the time being.” “Joann, I'm still worried. | think Miss Bridges is not simple.

“Think about it! Even if the research institute doesn’t let outsiders in, don’t they let you find a place nearby to accompany them?” Miranda looked angry.
