The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 169

Although there were no large ferocious beasts on the mountain, the number of wild dogs and stray cats

was enough to pose a threat to the lives of two four year–old children.

It was not certain that the child had died, but it was certain that the child had an accident on the

mountain.

“Davian, Irvin…” Joanna burst into tears.

Bruce also sucked in a breath of cold air. His heart was like dead ashes. “Hurry up and search. No

matter what, I want to see them alive or dead!”

“Okay!”

The bodyguards began to scatter and surround the mountain for a new round of search and rescue.

“Don’t cry. It might not be what you think!” Bruce comforted Joanna.

“Bruce, I really hate you!” Joanna blamed herself and was so worried that she broke down.

“The children will be found!”

Joanna wiped her tears, mustered her courage, and continued her search!

Now was not the time to complain. She had to quickly find the children’s whereabouts!

The search went from the morning to the evening.

Just as everyone was about to give up….

Finally, there was a faint light in a corner of the mountain.

“Is someone living there?”

“I think so. Let’s head down and take a look.”

Joanna and Bruce felt a glimmer of hope in their hearts. They hurriedly ran along the mountain path

toward the light.

At the foot of the mountain, a simple hut made of iron and tree branches appeared.

There was a light in the room. Although it was very dim, it was still quite eye–catching at night.

This was also the northernmost part of the mountain. Two days ago, the search and rescue team had

also come to search. However, at that time, the forest rangers had yet to save the two little fellows, so

they could not find them.

Therefore, they did not come to search again today.

Joanna had a feeling that the children were in this room.

Due to the fact that she was running too fast, she tripped over a rock under her feet. “Ouch!”

“Joanna, be careful!”

“Don’t worry about me!” Joanna ignored the pain and struggled to stand up.

The two of them had just descended the mountain path and had yet to enter the house to ask.

The two large black dogs pounced over ferociously.

“Woof, wool, woof!”

“Ah…” Joanna was most afraid of dogs and almost got pounced on by them.

“Go, go!” Bruce barked at the dog and shielded Joanna behind him.

“Wool, woof, woof!” The dog barked even louder, baring its teeth at the two of them,

“Is anyone here? Is anyone in the house?”

“Creak!”

The old iron door was pushed open from the inside.

“Who is it?”

An old man in his sixties walked out of the house with his clothes draped over his shoulders.

He was a forest ranger from Mount Lance. His name was Zack, and he had never gotten married in his

life. He was also disabled.

The community administrator took pity on him and gave him a job as a ranger.

He had been doing this for half his life. A few years ago, he had picked up a girl from a garbage dump

and brought her back to raise her as his granddaughter,

“Sir, we’re here to look for someone!”

Zack dismissed the two large black dogs and sized up Joanna and Bruce..

“Who are you looking for?”

“Sir, have you seen two children?”

“Two little boys, about four years old!” Joanna eagerly gestured at the child’s height!

“Who are you to the children?”

“We… are their parents.”

Zack pursed his lips and said with a hint of blame, “How can you be so irresponsible?

“It’s so dangerous to let the children run around on the mountain!”

Joanna’s eyes flickered. “Does that mean you’ve seen the children, sir?”

“They’re in the house!

“I happened to bump into these two children when I was patrolling the mountain today. Come in and

see if they’re your children.”

Joanna and Bruce looked at each other. Their eyes were filled with excitement.

“Thank you, sir.”

The two thanked him and followed Zack into the house.

Inside the dilapidated house, the three children were sleeping soundly on the dilapidated bed.

Davian and Irvin had many cuts on their bodies from tree branches, and their little faces were dirty.

“Davian, Irvin!” Joanna was so excited that she rushed to the bed and cried.

Bruce heaved a sigh of relief. “Thank goodness the children are safe!”

“Davian, Irvin, wake up. We’re going home!” Joanna cried as she reached out to stroke the two

children.

The two children were burning hot, as if they were having a high fever.

Davian opened his eyes in a daze and saw that the person standing in front of him was actually his

mother.

He thought it was a dream and called out tentatively, “Mommy!”

“Davian!” Joanna sniffed and hugged her son tightly.

“Mommy, sob…” After Davian knew that it was not a dream, he burst into tears.

Irvin was also woken up. When he saw his mommy coming over, he also cried loudly.

“Mommy, we missed you so much! Boohoo!”

Joanna hugged the two children tightly in her arms. “Mommy misses you too!”

“Why are you here? Do you know that I was worried sick?”

“Mommy, we want to go home to you, but those people won’t let us go out!

“We had no choice but to sneak out! After that, we got lost on the mountain. Boohoo!

“Mommy, you said you would pick us up! Why didn’t you pick us up for so many days?

“Irvin and I thought Mommy didn’t want us anymore!”

The two little guys cried very sadly. They had not seen their mommy for so many days. Now that they

finally saw her, they could not help but cry.

“How could Mommy not want you? It’s all my fault. I will never let you two be separated again!”

“Mommy…”

The three of them hugged each other and cried!

Bruce stood at the side and watched. His heart ached! He subconsciously hugged Joanna and the two

children.

He made up his mind that no matter what, he would give the children a complete home.

“Alright, alright, stop crying!”

“Be careful in the future. Don’t let the children run out again. It’s so dangerous!” Zack reminded her.

Joanna bowed deeply to Zack and thanked him repeatedly. “Thank you for saving my children!”

“You’re welcome. You have to be more careful as a parent.”

“Thank you!”

Joanna and Bruce each carried a child and prepared to leave.

The little gir also woke up and looked at Davian and Irvin with sleepy eyes. “Davian, Irvin, are you

leaving?”

“Well, we’re going home!”

“Will you still come over to play in the future?”

“We will. We’ll come and play with you when we have time.”

“Bye, Helen!”

“Bye, Davian and Irvin,”

After bidding farewell, Joanna and Bruce left with the children.

An hour later.

When the bodyguards arrived, Joanna and Bruce also returned to the mountain path.

In the car, Joanna’s expression was a little cold. “Bruce, I want to take the children home!”

Bruce frowned. “Joanna, let’s take the children back to the old residence first…”

Joanna refused decisively. “No need to say any more. No matter what, I won’t let the children stay in

the Everett family!”

“Joanna, I already said that this was an accident!

“If you’re worried, move in with the children!”

Bruce tried to convince her. He subconsciously tightened his grip on Joanna’s hand. “For the sake of

the children, we should give them a complete family!”

Joanna pulled her hand back stiffly. “Bruce, we’re already divorced! Please don’t say such things

again!”

When Bruce heard this, he choked in anger. “Joanna, I’m the children’s father. I have the right to take

back the children’s custody!”

“Bruce, the children have always lived with me. I’m the guardian of the children!

“No matter what, I won’t let anyone take my children away!”

Bruce exhaled. “Joanna, even if you want to take the children away, at least wait for Grandma to come

back!

“Grandma will be very disappointed if she doesn’t see the children after she returns from Melta!”

Joanna looked straight into Bruce’s eyes coldly. “If my children stay in the Everett family, I’m afraid I’ll

never see my children again!”

Bruce closed his eyes and took a deep breath!

“Why doesn’t this damn woman understand what I’m trying to say?” he thought.

He was already considering remarrying. However, he, who had always cared about his reputation,

wanted her to lower her status a little.

Why couldn’t she understand what he was thinking?

“Joanna, why are you so stubborn?”

“I’m not stubborn. I just want to protect my children!”

Bruce gritted his teeth and said hatefully, “I really can’t communicate with you!”

“Let’s not talk about this anymore. No matter what, I won’t let you take my children away again!”
