The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 598

The doctor frowned and his tone became even more grave. “Even if Mr. Everett wakes up, I’m afraid…”

“Afraid of what?” Joanna looked at the doctor with bloodshot eyes.

“It’s hard to say for the time being. He might remain in a vegetative state or never wake up. Miss Haynes, you have

to prepare yourself mentally.

“In short, we can only try and hope for the best. It would be a miracle if he regains consciousness. If not, we can

only accept reality.”

Although the doctor spoke tactfully, the meaning behind his words were clear.

Bruce was probably already dead.

Similar cases existed in the hospital whereby the patient was actually already dead, but family members were

unwilling to give up and insisted on using all kinds of expensive medicine and nutrient solutions to keep the patient

alive.

Although injecting nutrient solutions and drugs would ensure these patients’ bodies did not rot, they were akin to

the living dead and perhaps even worse off than those in a vegetative state.

When Joanna heard this, her legs went weak and she almost lost her balance. The glimmer of hope that had just

been ignited in her heart was instantly extinguished and replaced by hopelessness.

She didn’t dare to imagine what the future had in store for Bruce.

She couldn’t bear to see such proud and arrogant person like Bruce in a vegetative state.

However, she had no choice but to settle for this next best option. Bruce remaining alive was the most important

thing to Joanna. Even if he remained in a vegetative state, she would be willing to take care of him for the rest of

her life.

“Miss Haynes, don’t get your hopes up. Prepare for the worst,” the doctor added.

Joanna’s heart shattered into pieces. She nodded and choked with grief and said. “Doctor, please do everything you

can to save him. You have to keep him alive no matter what.”

She no longer had hope that he would wake up.

She only hoped that he could still live.

“Don’t worry. We will do our best to save Mr. Everett.

“Now, if you’ll excuse us. We have to attend a meeting and discuss on how best to treat Mr. Everett moving

forward.

“Alright…”

After the doctors left, Joanna’s vision went black. She could no longer hold on and fell to the ground..

Seeing this, Jaydon quickly took a step forward and supported her. “Joann, Joann, quickly sit down.”

As he spoke, he helped Joann to a chair nearby.

“Go get water for her.”

“Oh, okay.”

“Joann, have some water.”

Dizzy, Joanna leaned against the chair weakly. After drinking a few mouthfuls of water, she recovered slightly.

“Joann, are you feeling better? Why don’t we get a doctor to take a look at you. I’m worried about you,” Jaydon

said, his eyes filled with worry,

“Jay, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”

“Look at the state you’re in now. You haven’t eaten anything all day. Your body won’t be able to take the toll if you

continue like this. No matter what, you have to eat something and replenish your strength.”

As he spoke, Jaydon handed Joanna a piece of bread.

Joanna shook her head weakly. “I’m fine. I just don’t feel like eating anything.”

Before she could finish speaking, tears streamed out of her eyes again.

“Stop crying. You’ll go blind if you continue crying like this,” Jaydon comforted Joanna gently, not knowing what else

to say. Heartbroken, Joanna buried her face in her knees and whimpered in despair and regret.

She had never been so afraid before.

Everything felt terrifying and despairing to her now. If she could choose, Joanna would rather she be the one lying in

the operating room

“It’s all my fault. It’s all my fault!

“If I hadn’t left, thus wouldn’t have happened” Joanna couldn’t help but cry

Replaying the scene of the car accident mumerous times in her mind, and how Bruce was crushed under the car,

bloodied and injured. Joanna could not stop the tears from flowing down her face.

Jaydon sighed seeing this “Joann, don’t blame yourself too much. The accident had nothing to do with you

“Besides, didn’t the doctors say that Bruce had recovered his pulse? Medicine is so advanced now. I’m sure Bruce’s

life can be saved”

Unable to listen to Jaydon’s words of comfort, Joanna just hugged her knees and continued crying

Ring Ring Ring

Jaydon’s phone rang again

He subconsciously turned to check his phone and saw that there were dozens of missed calls, all from Orvin.

“Joann, Im going out to answer a call”

With that. Jaydon took his phone and walked out of the hospital

“Hey, what’s wrong?”

On the other end of the line, Orvin reported the good news. “Mr. Grimm. Miss Basil has successfully given birth”

“Oh, is that so?” Jaydon said nonchalantly

“Yes. Miss Basil gave birth to a girl weiglung 8 pounds. The girl is healthy and pretty. Both mother and daughter are

alright.”

When Jaydon heard this, he replied coldly. “That’s good. Take good care of them”

“Understood. Mr. Grimm.”

After hanging up, Jaydon frowned and took another deep breath.

There was no love between him and Carmel.

Carmel was an artist under Jaydon’s company, and Jaydon was a playboy. It was impossible for their relationship to

remain. innocent

Bruce was one of the reasons why Jaydon had gotten Carmel pregnant. At the thought of this, Jaydon gritted his

teeth in

hatred.

Even though Bruce was now lying in intensive care unit, Jaydon still felt like charging in and beating him up. Jaydon

had been shot last year and was on the verge of death. Worried that he would not survive, Jaydon’s father was

determined Jaydon leave an heir and has thus forcefully detained Carmel and force her to give birth to Jaydon’s

child

However, it was useless to say anything at this point. Since the child was already born. Jaydon would have to be

responsible for her

However, Jaydon would not marry Carmel. In any case, Carmel was a practical woman who wouldn’t mind not

having the title of Jaydon’s wife as long as he gave her enough money.

Moreover, Carmel had also hooked up with several men at the same time while dating Jaydon She was a clear-

munded woman who knowing Jaydon would not marry her, was only focused on earning money.

Bruce was soon transferred to intensive care unit.

Through the surveillance video, one could see the various medical instruments and tubes attached to his body. He

resembled a dected corpse that had been completely disfigured

Lilian and Miranda brought th children to the hospital the next day

When Davian and Irvin saw Joanna, they instantly burst into tears and rushed into her arms, crying loudly.

“Mommy, where did you go! We thought you didn’t nt us anymore”

Joanna’s heart ached even more. She hugged her two sons tightly Davian, Irvin, I’m sorry. It’s all my fault!”

The children cried sadly.

Joanna also started crying. Tm sorry, my darlings. Please forgive me.”

Davian’s eyes were filled with tears as he sobbed “Mommy, did something happen to Daddy?”

Her eyes bloodshot from crying, Joanna could not find an answer to Davian’s question.

Irvin was also crying ‘Mommy, please stop crying”

“Now that something has happened to Daddy, will Mommy leave us behind again?”
