The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 863 When Joanna heard this, she quickly came over to comfort her daughter. “Lilia, you have to work hard.” Bruce bent down and carried his daughter. “Daddy and Mommy will always be with you. Don’t be afraid. This surgery isn’t that scary. | asked the doctor. It only takes an hour.” “Yes, yes. I'm not afraid. I'm just a little nervous.” “Good baby, Daddy will give you strength. Daddy will protect you outside the operating room.” “Okay.” Lilia smiled sweetly and took the initiative to kiss her daddy's cheek.

It was Eight o'clock in the morning.

At the Carl Hospital.

All the preoperative preparations were complete.

Lilia changed into her patient gown and lay quietly on the operating table, waiting.

“We're about to enter the operating room. Be brave, baby.” “Okay.” Lilia smiled sweetly again and gestured at her daddy and mommy.

The nurse came over. “The patient can enter the operating room now.” Bruce and Joanna sent their daughter to the door of the operating room. They waved at their daughter with tears in their eyes.

The moment the door of the operating room closed.

Joanna's tears fell uncontrollably.

Although it was not a particularly big surgery, it was still invasive and she would bleed.

“How much would she suffer? If possible, I'm really willing to bear it on behalf of Lilia...” Bruce's heart ached when he heard that. “It’s fine. Lilia will definitely be fine.” “I hope God doesn't torture Lilia anymore. If there’s any illness or pain in the future, transfer it all to me and let me bear it for her.

Boohoo.” Joanna's tears fell.

“What are you talking about now?” “Lilia will definitely be fine. Our family will be safe and happy.” “After Lilia’s surgery, we'll immediately settle the remarriage procedures and hold a grand wedding.” Joanna sniffled and became even sadder.

Bruce continued, “I've already thought of handing the company over to a professional custodian company.” “In the future, I'll be semi-retired. | can spend more time with you and the child.” When Joanna heard this, her heart tightened and she leaned weakly into his arms.

“I hope so!” “It will definitely happen.” Bruce tightened his arms. There was a trace of worry and concern in his eyes.

He had to leave the organization now.

Although Mr. Thompson had said a lot to him and promised a lot.

He was indeed a little tempted.

However, after thinking about it for the past few days, he still made up his mind to leave the organization.

He didn’t even want to be the president of the country, let alone be the head of the bureau.

Now, he just wanted to enjoy his family life and live an ordinary and simple life with his wife and children.

At the thought of the organization, Bruce could not help but think of Aria again.

So far, there had been no news from Aria. This made him more and more uneasy. He felt as if there was an invisible bomb buried beside him.

If she died just like that, he wouldn't have to worry.

However, there was no news of her at all. She was nowhere to be seen, and her corpse was nowhere to be seen. This made him even more worried. He was even more afraid that she would suddenly appear and catch him off guard.

An hour later.

“Ding.” The door of the operating room opened.

Two nurses came out with a trolley.

“Lilia.” Bruce and Joanna rushed forward to check.

“How was it? Was the surgery successful?” Doctor Carl also walked out and said with a relieved expression, “Don’t worry! The surgery was very successful.” Lilia was lying on the bed.

She had yet to wake up. She looked like a cute doll.

“Good girl, you've suffered.” “Now push the patient into the ward.” “Yes, thank you, doctor. Thank you, nurse.” “You're welcome. This is what we're supposed to do.” The nurse pushed Lilia into the ward.

She was covered with a green surgical blanket. Her legs were already splinted and wrapped in thick gauze bandages. From the outside, nothing could be seen.

“Doctor, how long will it be before this can be removed?” “This will take at least two weeks.” “In two weeks, the stitches will be removed and she will put on a special splint.” When Joanna heard this, she could not help but worry. “When will she recover completely?” The doctor pondered for two seconds and said solemnly, “Now, we have to do the correction first. She has to wear the correction mold for three months and correct her deformed bones.” “After her bones are corrected, she has to do some rehabilitation training.” “It'll take at least half a year for her to fully recover.” “Okay. Thank As long as Lilia year.

you, Doctor.” could recover and walk like a normal child, even three to five years would be worth waiting for, let alone a Bruce also heaved a sigh of relief. “Don’t worry. Everyone says that the surgery will definitely succeed.” Joanna could not help but tear up. “My poor daughter has suffered so much since she was young.” “I hope that your life will be smooth-sailing in the future. You don’t have to go through such pain again.” After Joanna finished speaking, her heart was still suffocated, and tears fell.

Indeed, ever since Lilia was born, she had been plagued with problems.

By now, she had undergone more than ten surgeries, and she had taken countless injections and medicine. Bruce's heart ached when he heard that. “Honey, I'm sorry.” “I've caused you and the child to suffer. In the future, I'll love you and the child even more.” Joanna sniffed and leaned weakly in his arms.

Everything was still worth it.

Although there were many twists and turns in the process.

However, God was still merciful.

Bruce was a man worthy of her love.

After so many things, she still believed that Bruce had already turned over a new leaf and would not be like before.

“Mommy...” Lilia gradually regained consciousness and slowly opened her big eyes.

“Baby Lilia, you're awake.” “Mmm...” Lilia answered weakly like a kitten.

Lilia tried to struggle, but she did not have any strength left in her body. “Why can’t | move? Can't | move my entire body?” “Baby, the anesthetic hasn't worn off yet.

“When the anesthetic wears off, you can move.” “Mommy, | feel terrible. | really want to drink water...” Joanna gently touched her daughter's cheek and comforted her gently. “You just finished the surgery. You can't drink water yet.” “You can only drink water after a few hours. Good baby, bear with it.” As Joanna spoke, she hurriedly took out a cotton swab. She gathered a little water and dabbed in on her daughter's dry little mouth.

After so many surgeries, she was experienced.

She knew that she could not drink water for the time being after the surgery.

Lilia blinked obediently. “Alright!” “Daddy and Mommy can buy you delicious food tomorrow.” “Yup!” Beep, beep, beep.

Bruce's phone rang.

He took a look and saw that it was Andy calling.

Needless to say, it must be about the company again.

“I'm going out to take the call.” “Goon.” Bruce turned around and walked out of the ward to the corridor.

“Hello, Andy.” Andy's anxious voice came from the other end of the phone. “Mr. Everett, bad news. Something big has happened at the company. When are you coming back?” “What's wrong? What happened?” “Something big has happened in Green Bay again. A few workers were killed at the construction site today. The project has been temporarily stopped. You need to come back personally.” “Also, the real estate developers near us have already started advertising to warm up.” “Yanice Group also stole all the engineers in our department...” “Alright, | know. I'll go back the day after tomorrow,” Bruce replied gloomily.

His daughter had just undergone surgery. No matter what, he had to accompany her for another day.

After he returned, he would deal with Marlowe and Jennie.

The Green Bay project had always been carried out according to the highest safety standards.

Now that there were a few lawsuits with lives involved, someone must have done something behind the scenes.

After all, only the death of a person could cause a huge commotion.

This was a heavy blow to real estate.

They must be tired of living to dare to mess with him.

Back in the ward, Bruce returned to his loving and gentle appearance, as if nothing had happened.

However, Joanna still sensed that something was wrong with his gaze. “Did something happen to the company again?” “Yes, but they're all small matters. You don’t have to worry.” “If it's an urgent matter, you can go back first.

“I'm here with Lilia. It's the same.” “Now that the surgery is over, there's no point in you staying here,” Joanna comforted Bruce gently.

After all, work was ever-changing.

If he was not careful enough, he might not be able to recover.

“It's alright. I'll accompany Lilia for another day. I'll go back the day after tomorrow.” “Are you really alright? Don't be too willful...” Joanna asked worriedly.

Bruce smiled at her and comforted her. “You don’t have to worry about the company. Just take good care of Lilia.” “Leave everything else to me.” “Don’t worry. Your husband will protect you and your child.” Joanna gulped.

Seeing how confident he was, she couldn't say anything else.

However, she believed in his ability.

Whatever he wanted to do, he would definitely succeed.

“Alright then! You can make the arrangements yourself.” “Uh-uh.” Greyport.

Yanice Group.

“Hahaha, let's see what Bruce will do this time.” “We've already taken the land here. Now, their chief designer and engineering team are working for us at a higher price.” “Let's see if he can split himself up. This time, let's see how badly he loses...” Jennie said fiercely, as if Bruce was about to walk to a dead end.

“Shouldn't we celebrate?” “How?” “Let's find a good place to celebrate, of course.” Marlowe smiled obsequiously.

“Hmph, don’t try that. We're just working together. Stop daydreaming. Don't think that | don’t know what you mean.”
