Chapter 1075
“No matter what, I must avenge Bruce.”
Leo’s face darkened. He could not find any words to persuade Aria.
Joanna and Bruce arrived at Carl Hospital 18 hours later.
In the rehabilitation room.
Lilia was seriously training when the door was pushed open.
Joanna walked in first. “My Lilia baby.”
Lilia turned around. Her big eyes lit up when she saw Joanna. “Mommy, why are you back so soon?” Joanna smiled
and said happily, “Baby Lilia, look who’s here.”
Immediately after, Bruce walked in from behind.
Seeing this, Lilia cried even more excitedly. “Wow, Daddy, you’re finally back. I missed you so much!”
Lilia eagerly picked up her walking stick and walked toward Bruce as she spoke.
Bruce’s reaction was a little stupefied. He only looked lovingly at Lilia walking toward him.
“Daddy, Daddy!” Lilia staggered over with her walking stick.
When she reached Bruce’s side, Bruce smiled and bent down to pick up her. “My good daughter!”
“Daddy, I missed you so much! Kiss, kiss, kiss.” Lilia hugged Bruce’s neck and took the initiative to kiss his cheek.
“Daddy misses you too.” A hint of gentleness appeared in Bruce’s eyes. He only hugged Lilia for a few seconds
before putting her on the ground again.
Then, as if he couldn’t find anything to talk about, he just stood there.
The aloof reaction of Bruce was quite unexpected to Joanna.
She frowned subconsciously and looked at him in confusion.
Bruce doted on Lilia the most. In his heart, Lilia was probably more important than Joanna. If it were in the past, he
would probably be overjoyed when he saw Lilia stand up.
But now, although his eyes were filled with gentleness, his reaction was too cold. He did not even react as intensely
as Darcy and Carson.
When Darcy and Carson saw that Lilia could stand up, their eyes were filled with surprise and joy.
Bruce pondered for a while before finally saying, “Be good and continue training!”
Lilia raised her head and looked at Bruce’s expression. Then, she stole a glance at Joanna.
She thought that her daddy and mommy had quarreled again.
“Mommy, is daddy… unhappy?” Lilia asked Joanna cautiously.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJoanna rubbed Lilia’s head and said gently, “No! Daddy fell seriously ill at Melta. He has just recovered and can’t do
any strenuous activities.”
Lilia suddenly understood. “Oh, I see.”
“How are you? Have you improved in your training over the past few days?”
“Of course, Mommy, look!” Lilia said and let go of the walking stick.
Without anyone to support her, she staggered forward a few steps. Although her steps were not stable, she had
greatly improved.
Seeing this, Joanna could not help but cry tears of joy. She hugged Lilia tightly and kissed her face twice. “Baby,
you’re awesome. You’ll probably be able to run in another two to three months.”
“Haha, don’t worry, Mommy. I’ll definitely train well.”
“Thar
good.”
In the doctor’s office.
“Doctor Carl. How’s Lilia’s recovery?” Joanna asked worriedly.
1/3
09:00
It was already the end of the year. She could not stay in Gaprington for Christmas. If Lilia recovered well, she
planned to take her back to Greyport.
In any case, the largest private hospital in Greyport was opened by the Everett family. The local rehabilitation
therapists could handle small matters like rehabilitation training.
Doctor Carl carefully examined Lilia’s leg. “Well, she is recovering well. She can be discharged and go home. Come
back for a follow-up check in half a year.”
Joanna heaved a sigh of relief. “Alright.
“Then I’ll get her discharged tomorrow.”
“Okay, no problem.”
Although Lilia could be discharged, it was already nighttime. In addition, everyone was very tired, so they decided
to stay in the hotel for the night before leaving.
At Hilbert Hotel at night.
After taking a shower, Joanna changed into silk pajamas and took the initiative to snuggle in Bruce’s arms.
“Bruce…” This was the second time she had taken the initiative.
Bruce frowned. “Joann, I’m a little tired. Go to bed early.”
Joanna was stunned. She looked at Bruce in disbelief.
“His vigor was boundless in the past, and he never bothered to suppress his desires. After all this time apart, he
actually didn’t want to…” thought she.
But then she thought again, “Maybe his body has just recovered, and he doesn’t have enough energy. “Coupled
with the fact that he had been on the plane for the entire day, it was normal for him to be tired.”
“Alright then! Go to bed early. We have to go back to Greyport tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Bruce smiled gently at Joanna and kissed her face again.
Then, the two of them lay calmly on the bed.
Bruce closed his eyes. In less than ten minutes, he fell asleep. Moreover, he was exceptionally well-behaved. He did
not even hug Joanna.
In the past, Bruce was very difficult to deal with. When he slept, he would trap Joanna tightly in his arms and put his
legs on her.
Every night, Joanna felt like she couldn’t breathe, and the heat was unbearable.
Today, Bruce was actually so….
After Bruce fell asleep, Joanna found herself unable to sleep. She lay on her side, gazing quietly at Bruce.
His profile remained impeccably perfect, like a carved sculpture.
However, after this trip to Melta, he seemed to have become a different person. The whole vibe was just off.
The next day.
Everyone got up, washed up, and planned to return home.
“Let’s go. We’re going back to Greyport.”
Lilia was even more excited. “That’s great. I miss Davian and Irvin so much.”
“Let’s go. Get in the car!”
In the ca
Bruce still had a cold look in his/eyes, showing absolutely no excitement about going home. Joanna could not help
but ask, “Bruce, what are you thinking about?”
“Umm, nothing much. It’s just that… there are a lot of things that I can’t remember, I feel like my brain isn’t
working well enough,” Bruce said in frustration and casually knocked his head.
Seeing this, Joanna instantly grabbed his hand and said with concern, “If you cannot recall, then do not dwell on it,
or it will give you a headache.”
After all, he had undergone two craniotomies. Many of his brain nerves had been destroyed, so it was
09/003
normal for him to lose his memory.
“Ugh, I can’t remember.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Then do you remember how you were injured?”
“Ah! I can’t remember!” Bruce said with a sad look in his eyes and shook his head.
Joanna smiled. “Forget it. Don’t think about anything else. As long as we can go back safely, it’s the luckiest thing.”
“Okay.” Bruce smiled at Joanna and placed his arm on Joanna’s shoulder.
Joanna’s eyes darkened as she comforted herself.
“This is only temporary. He would slowly recover in the future. Even if he can’t, it doesn’t matter.
“At most, I would take care of him more. Previously, when his mind was not clear, I was prepared to take care of
him for the rest of my life.”
After flying for more than ten hours, the plane finally arrived at Greyport.
A welcoming ceremony had already been set up on the lawn of Sherane Bay Villa.
The butler had arranged the servants in neat rows, all poised to welcome them.
A few luxury cars slowly drove into the courtyard.
The door opened. Bruce and Joanna got out of the car.
“Welcome home, Mr. Everett. Welcome home, Mrs. Everett…” The servants greeted them respectfully.
“Daddy, Mommy, Lilia, you’re finally back!” Davian and Irvin ran over happily.
The two little fellows jumped around excitedly.
“Davian, Irvin!” said Joanna.
Lilia was also very happy to see her brothers. “Davian, Irvin.”
“Daddy, you’re finally home!” The two little guys surrounded Bruce excitedly. “Haha, good boy.” Bruce rubbed the
two boys’ heads, his eyes filled with gentleness. Davian and Irvin felt their hearts skip a beat. They felt that
something was wrong. “Daddy, why are you acting so weird today?”
“What’s wrong?”
“Haha, you didn’t scold us?” Irvin said mischievously.
In the past, Bruce loved to scold them. Every day, when Bruce saw them, the first thing he said was “brat.” Of
course, his tone was sometimes very doting.
And today, he was actually so gentle to them? For a moment, the boys could not adapt to it.
“Daddy. How long has it been since you last returned home? Have you forgotten that you have a wife and children
waiting for you?
“I’m telling you. You can’t go away for two to three months without going home in the future.” Irvin lectured Bruce
like an adult.
“Haha, I got it.”
When Irvin heard this, he was stunned again and stuck out his tongue in disbelief.
