The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 348

Andy knocked on the door and entered!

“Miss Haynes, I got you some food. You haven’t eaten all day. Eat something first!”

Andy carried two sets of meals and placed them before Joanna.

Joanna sighed. “Leave it aside for now! Now that Bruce held her hand, she did not dare to move!

Andy looked at Bruce and asked in a low voice, “Is Mr. Everett still not awake?”

“He just woke up but fell asleep again!”

“Oh, alright! Thank you for being by his side.”

“It’s nothing!”

“We’ll guard outside. If you need anything, just call us!”

“Okay!”

After saying that, Andy tiptoed out again!

Joanna hadn’t slept since last night.

She was exhausted, sleepy, and hungry now!

Unfortunately. Bruce grabbed her hand, and she did not dare to move!

After waiting for about 20 minutes, Joanna couldn’t take it anymore. Gradually, her head tilted, and she fell asleep

at the

bed’s headrest!

It was past six in the evening!

Bruce woke up again!

Looking sideways, he saw that Joanna had fallen asleep on the bed! His hand was still holding Joanna’s, and it was

already numb!

Thinking about it, Joanna must be exhausted!

Bruce gently let go of her hand and carefully ran his fingers through the loosened hair on Joanna’s face!

A hint of gentleness and calmness appeared in his eyes!

As long as Joanna stayed by his side, it would calm him down, even if she did nothing.

Even though his movement was very light and gentle, it still woke Joanna up. “Mmm…” Joanna rubbed her eyes and

raised

her head in a daze!

“You’re awake?”

Bruce whispered back. “Mm, go back to sleep if you’re tired!”

“I’m fine!” Joanna yawned and stood up to stretch her sore neck!

“What time is it?” Joanna looked at her watch. It was already past six in the afternoon!

“Gosh! It’s already dark!” Joanna cried out silently from deep down.

She promised to call Jaydon back. Unexpectedly, it was already night!

Bruce moved slightly. “I want to drink some water!”

“No! The doctor just said that you’ve undergone surgery. You’re not allowed to eat or drink for 24 hours!”

“But I’m really thirsty… Bruce said as he licked his dry lips.

His lips were so dry that they were about to peel off!

Seeing this, Joanna got up and poured a glass of warm water.

She took another cotton swab, dipped it in water, and gently applied it on his lips!

The doctor said that if you are thirsty, just wet your lips with water. It would be best if you did not drink anything.

Otherwise, it will stimulate your wound, and your stomach will hurt even more!”

When Bruce heard this, he looked at Joanna gently. He enjoyed the feeling of her taking care of him!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Joanna’s phone buzzed again!

Chapter 318

Jaydon saw that Joanna did not call him back for a long time and could not stop his urge to call her again!

Bruce also heard the vibration of the phone. His gaze on her darkened. “Who’s calling?”

Joanna subconsciously muted the phone. “Oh, no, no one!”

“I’ll go out and call back first. Rest well!”

Before Joanna could go out, Bruce groaned in pain “Okay Hiss. It hurts!

Seeing him like this, Joanna’s heart skipped a beat. She could not be bothered to go out to call back and quickly

checked on

Bruce.

“Which part does it hurt?”

Like a child, Bruce frowned and said coquettishly. “Every part of my body hurts”

“Wait a minute. I’ll get the doctor to prescribe you some painkillers!”

“No! The painkillers are useless!” Bruce said as he looked at Joanna pitifully.

“How do you prefer to relive it then?”

“Sit next to me and warm my stomach with your hands!”

Joanna frowned and was at a loss for words!

She did not know if this bastard was really in pain. However, looking at him, it was better to do what he had

requested.

Otherwise, he might cause a ruckus.

Joanna had no choice but to rub her hands and stick them to his stomach.

“Is that better?”

“Mm, much better!” A hint of satisfaction appeared in Bruce’s eyes as he looked at Joanna suggestively!

He had suddenly found the trick!

As long as he pretended to be sick and in pain. Joanna’s attitude toward him would be better!

Rumors said that women were soft–hearted and easily overflowed with motherly love! It seemed that it was true!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

Joanna’s phone rang again…

Needless to say, it must be Jaydon calling again.

As soon as Joanna was about to answer the call, Bruce began to cry out in pain.

Part of his pain was real, but most of it was because he was exaggerating. It was miserable!

Joanna soon discovered that Bruce did it on purpose! The purpose was to prevent her from answering Jaydon’s call.

Unfortunately, after the scene in the morning, even though she knew he was pretending, she did not dare to

provoke him anymore!

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

“Argh, it hurts!” Bruce whined again.

Joanna frowned angrily Your phone is ringing!”

When Bruce heard this, he suddenly stopped whining. “Oh, then… ignore it! Anyway, I’m sick now!”

“No. What if the kids call?

“Ignore it!” Bruce tried to stop her.

Joanna had already brought his phone over.

She looked and saw that the phone number was an international call. There were already countless missed calls

and countless text messages!

Needless to say. these were all calls from Princess Martha!

Joanna’s expression darkened. She was obviously unhappy!

Sensing that Joanna did not look good, Bruce subconsciously said, “Ignore her!”

When Joanna heard this, she became even angrier. “Bruce, she called you so many times. You should at least

answer it!

‘Do you know? They’ll be more anxious if you don’t answer their calls!”

Chapter 348

Bruce sighed in relief and said helplessly. I’m already in this state. How can I answer the call?”

“Then, at least send her a message so she doesn’t have to worry!”

“Joanna, L..” Bruce wanted to say something but hesitated. He did not know what to say!

Initially, he was only interested in Princess Martha because he found her new and different. He did not expect that it

would. go too far!

“I’ll give you your phone. Hurry up and reply to the messagel”

When Bruce heard this, he was a little angry. “Joanna, are you kidding me? Do you have to kick me into another

woman’s arms?”

Joanna was even angrier when she heard that. “Bruce, please don’t say such things again in the future! We’ve

already divorced. We’re just ordinary friends now!”

“Then why did you stay and take care of me?”

“I’m taking care of you because you’re the father of my kids. There’s no other reason! I hope you will stop

misunderstanding my feelings for you!”

Bruce paused, and his expression turned gloomy. “Joanna, aren’t you giving me any chance?”

Joanna replied coldly. “I’ve said it many times. Our relationship had already ended completely. There won’t be any

more possibilities for us getting back together!

“I think we are more suitable to be friends! Please don’t have any thoughts about me in the future!”

“Joanna, I just want to ask you one thing. Do you not love me at all anymore?”

“Yes, from the day of our divorce, I no longer love you!”

When Bruce heard this, he heaved a sigh. He felt complicated feelings surging deep down him.

“Joanna, there’s a misunderstanding between us!”

“The reason why I treated you like that in the past was because I made a mistake! Now that the misunderstanding

has been resolved, I won’t treat you like before again!”

“Stop it. I don’t want to hear this anymore!”

“Urgh! It hurts!” Bruce covered his stomach, sweating from the pain.

Buzz! Buzz! Buzz!

“Your phone is ringing again! Hurry up and answer it!”

Bruce looked at the phone and picked it up.

“Hello!”

Davian’s voice came from the other end of the phone. “Hello, Daddy!”

“Yes, why did you call?”

Joanna also vaguely heard Davian’s voice. She immediately approached him. “Who is on the line?”

“It’s Davian!”

“Really?” Joanna immediately snatched the phone. “Hello, Davian!”

“Hello, Mommy, why is it you? I miss you so much!”

“Mommy misses you too! Are you okay at Surbano?”

“Yup!”

“What about Irvin and Lilia?”

Irvin and Lilia’s voices sounded again from the other end of the call. “Mommy, we’re here…”

“Mommy’s hanging up. I’ll video call you guys!”

“Oh, okay!”

Soon, the video call went through.

Joanna’s tears rolled down her cheeks after not seeing the children for so long.

“What’s wrong with Daddy?”

“Daddy’s ill”

Chapter 348

“Oh, is it serious?”

“Don’t worry. The doctor said that Daddy can be discharged after staying in the hospital for a week!”

Davian said aggrievedly, “Mommy, we miss you so much!“

“Can you tell Daddy to take us back?”

“Yes, don’t worry! When Daddy recovers, Daddy will bring you back!”

“Okay!”
