The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 157

Ingrid’s face darkened. “Did Bruce tell you the reason?”

Roxanne felt as if she had fallen into the abyss. She knelt on the couch like a robot and the evening

gown in her hand slid to the ground.

“Joanna Haynes! Joanna Haynes again…”

“Her? What did she do?”

A

Roxanne suddenly became agitated and said, “Her daughter has leukemia!”

“Her daughter has leukemia. What does that have to do with you and Bruce getting married?”

“Joanna told Bruce that he is the girl’s father!” Roxanne’s eyes suddenly widened, and tears flowed

down her cheeks.

“What?” Ingrid was dumbfounded.

“So Bruce is indeed the father of Joanna’s three children!”

“I knew it. I knew she wouldn’t let go of Bruce so easily.

“I have also thought she will get back at me. I just didn’t think she’d do it this way.”

Roxanne howled hysterically.

Ingrid was extremely angry when she heard that. She gritted her teeth and cursed, “Joanna Haynes is

really a b itch! I know she wouldn’t let go so easily! As expected, she has hatched an evil plan!”

As Ingrid spoke, she turned to look at Shaun. “That’s your good daughter. She’s always making things

difficult for us!

“She has ruined Roxy’s marriage again. Why can’t she just die?”

When Shaun heard this, he was at a loss.

However, he had never had a deep father-daughter relationship with Joanna. Hence he didn’t really

have any feelings for Joanna’s child too.

“Don’t be so anxious. Let’s figure out the situation first, and we can discuss it later. Let’s go to the

hospital and find out what’s going on!”

Ingrid was so angry that she felt a pain in her heart. She scolded angrily, “How can it be so

coincidental! Her daughter suddenly falls sick at this critical moment when Roxy and Bruce are getting

married!

“If she really wishes Roxy and Bruce well, she shouldn’t have created this problem for Bruce.

“I think she did that on purpose…”

Roxanne buried her hands in her hair as she was feeling very upset. Then she ran out in a daze.

“Roxy! Where are you going?”

“Don’t worry about me. I just need to calm down.”

“Roxy, come back quickly. Don’t do anything silly! Hurry up and take a look! Shaun, if anything happens

to Roxy, I won’t let you off!”

As Ingrid was saying that, she ran after Roxanne!

Shaun could not help but sigh. “What bad luck we have! Why does our family have such a

troublemaker?”

At the Everett mansion.

Margaret soon learned that the wedding had been canceled.

“What? The wedding between Bruce and Rozanne has been canceled?”

“Yes!”

“Mrs. Margaret, Mr. Everett is the father of Joanna’s three children.”

“Joanna’s youngest daughter has acute leukemia and urgently needs a bone marrow transplant

“Mr. Everett has already agreed to donate the bone marrow to save the child”

Upon hearing this, Margaret’s cloudy eyes suddenly lit up. “In that case, those three children are all the

Everett family’s flesh and blood?

“Yes, Mrs. Margaret!”

When Margaret heard that, she was stunned for a few seconds before she regained her senses,

“Bring me to the hospital!”

“Mrs. Margaret, you are still very frail. You’ll have no strength to move around.”

“No, I want to see the three children!”

Margaret struggled to get up. The nurses had no choice but to help her up.

Soon, Margaret was carried to the wheelchair. The butler personally pushed her out.

“I was right to think that these three children are the Everett family’s flesh and blood, Joanna is really

too much. She actually doesn’t want the children to know that they are part of the Everett family!”

The butler quickly comforted her. “Mrs. Margaret, it is great that you know about this now! The most

important thing is to bring the children back to the Everett family.”

“Yes, yes, yes. I have always thought I wouldn’t have any great-grandchildren in this lifetime. This is

really unexpected happiness!”

Margaret was no longer as depressed as before. Her me ntal state seemed to have improved

immediately.

“Although Joanna is a stubborn girl, she’s really fertile. She actually gave birth to triplets for the Everett

family.

At the hospital!

Lilia had already been pushed into the intensive care unit, and all the pre-surgery preparations had

been done!

Bruce looked at Lilia through the glass window and felt sadness that words could not describe.

This was his child! His daughter!

He never thought that he would have three children!

Joanna had actually given birth to three children for him!

He was both happy and worried. He had mixed feelings that he could not explain.

He didn’t even dare to imagine how Joanna and their three children managed to survive the past four

years.

When Bruce agreed to donate his bone marrow to Lilia, Joanna finally felt relieved.

At this moment, she was by his side.

For the first time, Joanna felt that Bruce was not that cold-blooded.

At the very least, he still loved his children.

“Lilia, you must be strong. Mommy loves you!”

Bruce tightened his grip on Joanna’s shoulder and comforted her. “Don’t worry, she is going to be fine!”

Joanna looked up at Bruce with tears in her eyes. “Bruce, thank you for agreeing to save Lilia!”

Bruce frowned. “What are you talking about? This is my child too. I will definitely save her!

“You, on the other hand, are really too much!

“How could you allow the three children to grow up without a father? How dare you hide it from me like

this?

“If it weren’t for Lilia, how long would you have kept it from me? Joanna, you’re really vicious! You are

worse than I am.”

As Bruce spoke, he suddenly pressed her against the wall. He had bloodshot eyes.

For the first time, he realized that Joanna was far more heartless than him.

Joanna just lowered her head and sobbed.

“Mr. Everett, Mrs. Margaret is here!”

When Bruce heard this, he calmed himself down and hurriedly came out to greet Mrs. Margaret.

Along the corridor, Margaret was in a wheelchair with four nurses and her butler behind her. “Bruce…”

Bruce quickly walked to Margaret’s side and asked, “Grandma, why are you here?”

Margaret sounded anxious. “I’m here to see my great-grandchildren!”

Joanna also walked up to her slowly and greeted her in a low voice, “Grandma…”

Margaret looked up and stared at Joanna with a hint of anger. “Joann, look what has happened! Why

did you have to keep the truth from us?

“You even produced fake evidence to fool an old woman like me!”

“I’m sorry, I…” Joanna hesitated, not knowing what to say!

If she told the truth, everyone would think that she wanted to use the three children to keep Bruce by

her side.

They would even think that she gave birth to three children to make use of Bruce, and Roxanne would

not stand a chance.

In fact, Joanna really didn’t want Bruce to know that he was the father of the three children, nor did she

want the children to have anything to do with the Everett family!

“Let’s not say so much now. Saving Lilia is the most important thing!”

“When’s the surgery?”

“In a week’s time!”

“Can I see Lilia?”

“Lilia is in the intensive care unit. It’s not convenient to see her for the time being.”

Margaret paused for a moment. “Transfer her to the Everett family’s hospital immediately. Get the

specialists to follow up with Lilia’s condition.”

“Grandma, there’s no need to go through so much trouble!”

Margaret interrupted Joanna. “Also, where are my two great-grandsons? Hurry up! I want to see them

now!”

Joanna was stunned when she heard that!

Joanna knew that once Margaret found out that these three children were Bruce’s children, Margaret

would definitely take them away from her!

Therefore, she did not want the children to have anything to do with the Everett family!

“They are my children. No one can take them away from me!”

“No one’s taking your children away. They are the Everett family’s flesh and blood too. You can’t be so

selfish and don’t allow us to see the children.”

“If Grandma wants to see the children, that’s fine with me. However, you can’t take them away from

me!”

Margaret scoffed, “No matter what, our Everett family’s flesh and blood can’t be roughing it out there.”

“Butler, get someone to bring the children over!”

“Yes.”

“Grandma, you can see the children anytime you want, but you can’t take them away!”

“Joann, please think of the big picture, and don’t stop the children from returning to the Everett family!”

Margaret had already made up her mind to bring the children back to the Everett family.

Margaret was already seriously ill, but when she suddenly found out that she had three great-

grandchildren, she seemed to be more energetic. Her condition also improved.
