Chapter 238
Roxanne was even more furious when she heard those words, and she shouted into the phone, “Fine. I can’t beat
her, not even once. It’s all my fault. I’m useless!
“You wish she were your daughter, don’t you? I don’t deserve to be your daughter. Are you happy now?
Ingrid curled her lips and snorted. “Look at you! What nonsense are you talking about? You’re damn good at being
mad at your mother! Did I say anything wrong?
“Just admit the fact that you can’t beat her. Don’t be such a sore loser!”
“Fine! Fine! I’m done talking to you! I called you to complain, not to expect you to give me a lesson!”
“You! You’ve always been a short fuse!”
“Mom, didn’t you say you’ve come up with something to deal with that damned bitch?
“Why haven’t you done it yet? She’s getting more smug!” Roxanne roared into the phone in dissatisfaction.
But she didn’t know Ingrid had hired a killer to assassinate Joanna!
Of course, Ingrid would not tell her anything about it!
Ingrid sighed. “Don’t worry. You can’t jump the gun. You have to sit tight and wait!
“A little impatience will spoil a big plan. Joanna won’t have her day as long as I’m here!”
Roxanne choked in anger. “She has already suspected us! You’re smart, aren’t you? Figure out something to deal
with her!”
On the other end of the line, Ingrid rolled her eyes. “Fine. I know what to do. Take care of yourself and the baby.
Everything else is no big deal!
“That’s it. Bye for now!”
Ingrid said it and hung up the phone abruptly!
After she hung up on Roxanne, Ingrid took a few deep breaths. She was so angry that she was blue in the face!
She must say her cousins were indeed two idiots. After all this time, they still hadn’t made a move!
Ingrid was so furious that she called her cousin directly.
“Hello!”
“Hello, Ingrid!”
As soon as the call went through, Ingrid thundered, “What’s going on with what I told you to do?
“It’s been three months, and there’s no progress till now! Christmas is coming soon. When the hell are you going to
get it
done?”
Wallace frowned and quickly explained, “Ingrid, it is tricky now!
“Joanna is staying in the hospital now, and she has got bodyguards and servants around. Other than that, there are
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmany doctors and nurses in the hospital. We can’t enter her room at all!”
Ingrid’s pupils dilated as she roared, “It’s your problem! Do you still want that 4 million dollars or not?
“If you still want it, figure out something. Stop giving me crap! You get a brain and think with it!

“That damned bitch won’t wait and come to her death if you don’t come up with something!”
Wallace said timidly. “Chill out. We’re on it!
“We have to think of a perfect plan. We can’t act rashly! Otherwise, we’ll be shot to death!”
Ingrid couldn’t help but curse again. “Make it quick! I can’t wait any longer!”
“Okay! Okay! Wait for our good news!”
After Wallace finished talking with Ingrid, he immediately called Ramos.
“Hello!”
“Ramos, can you do it or not?”
Ramos was silent for a few seconds and said hoarsely, “Wait a little longer. I’ve already found out which ward she’s
staying in!
“I’ve already thought of a way to sneak into the ward. I definitely won’t screw it this time!”
Hearing it, Wallace was a little anxious. “Are you going to do it right in the ward?”
“Yes! Don’t worry! I’ve already thought of a way out. I guarantee they won’t have anything on you if you pay on
time.”
Wallace pondered for a few seconds. “No worries. You’ll receive the payment as soon as Joanna Haynes dies!
“I’ll transfer 40 thousand dollars to you first.”
“No! I want you to settle the balance immediately!”
“Come on, dude! The bitch is not dead yet!”
Ramos coughed twice and panted heavily. “I promise I’ll kill her this time. You have my word. But I have to receive
the balance first!
“Otherwise, this deal won’t work!”
“Alright then!
“Mark my words. If you miss it this time, I’ll get someone to come after your family!”
Ramos kept his voice down. “I guarantee I’ll get the job done nicely this time. Ahem! Ahem!”
As he spoke, Ramos could not help to cough!
He was already terminally ill. He would probably die in one or two months! He was afraid that it would be too late if
he didn’t make his move soon.
He wanted to earn the money and leave it to his wife and children!
He had made a plan. He would dress up as a doctor and sneak into Joanna’s ward!
He did not intend to live after he killed Joanna!
In the hospital.
“Mrs. Everett, have some milk. Mr. Everett told me to get you the milk!
“Mr. Everett said you should have a glass of milk daily and told us to watch you finish it!”
“Okay!” Joanna got up and drank up the milk.
Chapter 238
She had a better appetite, and she could finally eat something.
After drinking the milk, Joanna lay down again.
Ms. Chain cleared the dishes and smiled mildly. “Mr. Everett just called and said he would be here at eight tonight!”
“Okay, I see!”
“Then you should rest for a while!”
“Okay!” Joanna replied and closed her eyes again for rest!
She had an unstable placenta and did not dare to move around. She would eat, sleep and do everything in bed!
Fortunately, the servants were meticulous, and she didn’t feel uncomfortable.
One o’clock in the afternoon!
There came a man, around 5.5 feet tall, who was wearing a doctor’s uniform, a mask, and a sterile doctor cap.
He was walking towards Joanna’s ward.
At the door of the ward, two bodyguards stopped him. “Who are you?”
“I’m here for the ward rounds!”
“I haven’t seen you before.”
“I’m in charge of the sanitation management and go the ward rounds once a month!”
“Okay! Come on in.” The bodyguards looked the man up and down suspiciously!
He talked shop and looked professional with a piece of detector equipment in his hand, so the bodyguards believed
it.
The man dressed as a doctor looked gloomy on his face. He opened the door of the ward and went in!
Ms. Chain looked the man up and down. “Who are you? What are you doing here?”
“I’m here to check the sanitation standards! Please stay out of the room for a while. I have to test the
formaldehyde level in the ward with my equipment!”
Ms. Chain and Nancy couldn’t believe it!
“Will there be formaldehyde in this ward? This is a VIP ward!”
Ramos said in a low voice. The ward was renovated last month. We’ve cleaned off the formaldehyde!
“But we have to do a formaldehyde removal once a month! It’s expiring today, and we have to purify the air in the
room!”
“Oh, I see!”
“Yeah. You can wait at the door! It won’t take more than ten minutes!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Fine then!” Ms. Chain and Nancy said nothing else and left the ward obediently!
Joanna was still lying on the bed and listening quietly!
She vaguely felt the man’s figure was familiar but couldn’t remember who he was.
The servants left the ward.
Chapter 238
Ramos pretended to fiddle with the detector and suddenly took a sharp knife out of his pocket.
He turned around and tried to stab Joanna!
Joanna looked into Ramos’s eyes and suddenly remembered it all.
But it was too late when she realized it. Ramos had come at her with a knife.
Joanna dodged to the side in fear and cowered in the corner of the bed!
Pift! Ramos had stabbed the knife into the blanket!
“Ah! Help!” Joanna screamed and raised her arms, and then the IV drip bottle knocked down onto Ramos together
with the pole!
Pfft! Ramos stabbed again.
Joanna hurriedly picked up the pillow and blocked it!
Hiss!
The pillow was cut open, and the feathers inside flew everywhere!
Joanna raised her leg to kick Ramos in the chest and then rolled from the other side of the bed onto the ground!
“Help!”
“Something’s happening inside?”
The bodyguards and the servants heard the cry and immediately pushed the door open!
Unfortunately, the door was already locked from the inside!
“On your feet!” The bodyguard stepped back and kicked the ward door open.
When the bodyguards rushed into the ward, they were shocked!
One of the bodyguards kicked Ramos right in the chest!
Ramos took a few steps backward and spat out a mouthful of blood before he fell to the ground.
He was already in the late stages of cancer and was too weak. The kick was killing him. He could not stand steadily
or climb. up from the ground.
The other two bodyguards jumped over and twisted Ramos’s hands in the back, firmly restraining him on the
ground.
“Who are you?”
Ramos lay on the ground, struggling. Unfortunately, he couldn’t fight back at all.
Joanna took off his mask and took a look at his face. He was the man who tried to kill her in the toilet last time!
“Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?”
Ramos spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were wide open, and he could not say a word.
