The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 662

“Ms. Haynes, we would never dare to bully Mr. Everett. Even if we had to be firm with him, we would not dare!” the

nurses explained anxiously.

While Joanna comforted Bruce and reassured the nurses, saying, “I know. I know. I will not blame you.”

“Thank you, Ms. Haynes,” said the nurses as they stumbled out of the bathtub.

“Darling, they are bad people! They tried to take off my pants!” Bruce wailed. His demeanor resembled a giant

baby.

“Alright, alright. Stop crying. They want to give you a bath, not bully you,” Joanna patiently explained.

Bruce wiped his teary eyes and pouted. “I do not want to bathe with them. I want to bathe with my wife…”

“No, we cannot bathe together!” Joanna firmly rejected it.

“I want to! I want to! I want to bathe with my wife,” Bruce insisted.. Joanna sighed. “No more crying. If you cry

again, I will ignore you.” When Bruce heard this, he pursed his lips and dared not cry anymore. “Peter, Belson, help

him remove his wet clothes, so he will not catch a cold later,” Joanna instructed.

“Yes, Ms. Haynes!” The four male nurses replied.

They approached cautiously, saying, “Mr. Everett, we will help you change your wet clothes!”

“Honey, I am scared,” Bruce cried in fear.

“Do not be afraid. I will be right here with you, alright?” Joanna consoled. “Hmm, will you bathe with me?” Bruce

pleaded.

“There are other guys here. How can I bathe with you?” Joanna reasoned. Bruce seemed thoughtful as he looked at

Joanna and said, “Then ask them to leave, so they will not see you! Let’s bathe together. I do not want them to see

my naked butt!”

Bruce pouted his lips and gripped his pants, looking extremely shy. Joanna was speechless and did not know how to

react.

Usually, Bruce was a very thick-skinned man, yet now he seemed shy.

However, with her big belly, she could not care for him alone.

“Listen to me. Be good, and let Peter and Belson help you. I’ll stay right here with you!” Joanna declined his

invitation.

“No, no! Honey, you will bathe with me!” Bruce said, tugging Joanna’s arm and pulling her towards the bathtub.

“Let go quickly. You’re hurting me!” Joanna cried out.

Then, she slipped under her feet and fell backward, landing on the ground with a loud thud.

“Honey!” Bruce hurriedly tried to help her, but it was too late.

Joanna groaned in excruciating pain as she sat on the floor.

“Honey, I am so sorry. I did not mean to!” Bruce apologized anxiously.

“Ms. Haynes, are you alright?” The servants cried out in panic as they rushed forward to help her.

Bruce was petrified, and he did not know what to do.

“Quick! Call Dr. Down,” one of the servants exclaimed.

“Urgh,” Joanna moaned in pain. She was five months pregnant, and her belly was already as big as a basketball.

After falling so heavily, she felt a slight pain in her abdomen, and her face turned pale instantly.

“Ms. Haynes, please get up!” The servants urged.

They were also scared out of their wits, and all of them hurriedly helped Joanna up.

Upon hearing the commotion, Miranda rushed in to check, “What happened?”

“Ms. Haynes slipped and fell in the bathroom!” one of the maids reported.

Miranda became even more anxious, and she exclaimed, “Oh no! This is not good! Hurry, call the family doctor!

Hurry, help Ms. Haynes onto the bed first.”

Bruce looked helpless, his face filled with fear. He apologized, “Honey, I am sorry. I did not mean to!”

Joanna was lying on the bed, her pale face covered in cold sweat and her abdomen throbbing in pain.

She winced, “Ow.”

“Joanna, lie down and do not move. The doctor will be here soon,” Miranda reassured.

Twenty minutes later, Dr. Down rushed in urgently.

He was the Everett family’s doctor who provided them with medical consultations all year round. His medical skills

were exceptional, and he could handle most issues unless they required large specialized medical equipment, in

which case, he had to refer them to a hospital. For other minor problems, Dr. Down made house calls.

“What happened?” Dr. Down asked immediately upon entering the room.

“Dr. Down, Ms. Haynes accidentally slipped and fell in the bathroom. Please help her so that it does not affect the

pregnancy,” one of the maids reported.

When Dr. Down heard this, he wasted no time and quickly entered the bedroom to check on Joanna.

Joanna lay weakly on the bed, cold sweat constantly oozing from her body and her lower abdomen experiencing

painful contractions.

Dr. Down promptly took out his stethoscope and began examining Joanna.

“Why were you so careless? Ms. Haynes’s body is already weak, and falling is dangerous,” Dr. Down chided.

“I’m sorry. I did not mean to. Honey, please be okay!” Bruce pleaded as he held Joanna’s hand. Tears were

streaming from his eyes./

Looking at Joanna’s pale and weak appearance, he was terrified.

“First, I will administer two doses of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine. She must rest in bed for the next few days!” Dr.

Down said.

“Okay,” Bruce replied.

“I will also prescribe some supplements to aid in her recuperation and do moxibustion,” Dr. Down said.

Afterward, he instructed his assistant to set up a stand at the foot of the bed to elevate Joanna’s legs, preventing

the placenta from descending.

“Ms. Haynes needs to lie down and rest to protect the pregnancy. At least one week of bed rest. If there’s no

bleeding after one week, the baby should be fine,” Dr. Down instructed.

Miranda nodded solemnly, “Alright, thank you, Dr. Down!”

Dr. Down then prepared an incense box and placed it on Joanna’s belly

for moxibustion.

After that, he administered two doses of pregnancy-stabilizing medicine.

Joanna lay on the bed in a daze. Her face was pale without a trace of blood.

Bruce stayed at the bedside, tears still streaming, tightly holding Joanna’s hand.

“Mr. Everett, don’t cry anymore; it might disturb Ms. Haynes while she rests,” Dr. Down reminded him.

When Bruce heard this, he stopped crying but continued holding Joanna’s hand, pressing it against his face.

“Ms. Haynes’s body is weak now, and she must rest well. Make sure she does not get out of bed for a week,” Dr.

Down instructed./

“Yes, I understand,” Miranda replied mechanically.

“Don’t be too nervous. Ms. Haynes is already five months pregnant, and the baby is not as fragile as you might

think. However, her body is weak, and she must avoid overexertion. She needs to have more nutritious food as

she’s too thin. Being underweight can also affect the baby,” Dr. Down said.

“Understood,” Miranda responded.

“I will come by again tomorrow. If there’s anything, call me,” Dr. Down said.

“Alright!” Miranda replied.

“Dr. Down, take care.” Gael and the maids saw Dr. Down off while Miranda, Kelly, and the others stayed in the

room.

Bruce dared not cry anymore but remained carefully at Joanna’s side.

“Mr. Everett, why don’t you rest in your room? We’ll take care of everything here,” Miranda suggested.

Bruce shook his head with a sorrowful expression, struggling to speak -clearly, “No, no, I want to stay here with my

wife.”

Seeing this, Miranda did not dare say anything further.

On the bed, Joanna was incredibly tired. She had not had a proper rest for quite some time. Now, she finally had

the chance to lie down and get some much-needed sleep.
