The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 782

“Miss Bridges, I don’t care what kind of difficulties you have. Do you really think it’s good for you to

keep pestering someone else’s husband like this?” Joanna’s tone was cold, but she still maintained

some self-restraint.

Aria was speechless. She did not say anything, but she did not hang up either.

Joanna continued, “I sympathize with your illness. However, I despise your actions.

“Adults should practice restraint where love matters are concerned. Affinity also matters. You should

keep a distance from someone who doesn’t belong to you.”

When Aria heard that, she pondered for a few seconds and begged in a sobbing voice, “Ms. Haynes, I

beg of you. Can you let Bruce accompany me for some time?

“I’m about to die. After I die, he’ll still belong to you. I just want him to accompany me until the last

moment of my life. Please, it won’t be long.”

“I’m sorry, no.” Joanna rejected Aria coldly.

“Why can’t you just be nice?”

Joanna retorted righteously, “Miss Bridges, he’s not an item.

“This is the bottom line of morality. It has nothing to do with whether you’re sick or not.”

Aria took a deep breath. She did not want to say anything more to Joanna. “Where’s Bruce? Please let

him listen to the call.

“I want to hear him reject me personally. This is my last request!”

“Miss Bridges, Bruce is sleeping now. It’s not convenient for him to answer your call.

“But don’t worry. When he wakes up, I’ll tell him that you called him.

“As for whether he will call you back, I won’t interfere.” Joanna was relatively rational when dealing with

relationships. “Ms. Haynes…” Aria stammered, not knowing what else to say.

“Let’s do that! I wish you success in your surgery. At the same time, I hope you can face up to your

relationship problems. “In this era, being a mistress isn’t a glorious thing. You’re young, knowledgeable,

and beautiful. When you recover, you’ll find a partner more suitable for you.

“From today onwards, I don’t want you to pester Bruce for any purpose. I don’t care what kind of past

he had with you, but now, he’s my husband and the father of my children.

“If you continue to be stubborn, I can only say this to you… You’re shameless!” Joanna said

methodically and clearly without spouting any vulgarities.

Although she was angry, she would never curse like a shrew.

Aria was speechless the entire time.

She thought that Joanna was a woman who had charmed Bruce with her beauty.

But now, she realized that Joanna was definitely not a simple-minded woman.

In fact…

Joanna was accepted by a reputable university at the age of 16. She had been a top student since she

was young. In terms of academics, she was not inferior to Aria at all.

Originally, she even had a chance to get a doctorate!

Unfortunately…

When Joanna was 18 years old, because of Ingrid’s series of actions, Joanna’s innocence was

accidentally ruined by Bruce. In the end, under the pressure of Margaret and Raymond, Bruce and

Joanna had no choice but to get married early. Others were looking for a job after graduating from

university.

As for Joanna, she got a divorce after graduating from university. Although she was only 27 years old

this year, she had already experienced the vicissitudes, hardships, and joys of life.

How could such a woman be silly and naive? Likewise, she managed to win the heart of a man like

Bruce. That was enough to prove that she was not a simple woman.

“That’s all. I wish you a speedy recovery.” With that, Joanna hung up without saying anything else.

It was past ten in the morning the next day

Bruce lazily turned around and finally woke up in a daze.

Joanna had been keeping vigil at his side the entire time. The moment he opened his eyes, she sensed

it.

“You’re awake?”

As Joanna spoke, she touched Bruce’s forehead again.

Fortunately, it was no longer as feverish as before.

Bruce opened his eyes tiredly. After a long moment, he finally snapped out of his confusion. “Well,

honey, how long had I been asleep?”

“You’d been asleep for 15 hours!”

“Had I slept for that long?” Bruce struggled to sit up and shook his dizzy head.

He was indeed too tired.

Coupled with his high fever and the sleeping pills he took, he slept for such a long time.

Dr. Dotson had been waiting for a long time. Now that Bruce was awake, he quickly came to change

his dressing. “Mr. Everett, it’s time to change your dressing.”

“Okay, okay.”

Then, Dr. Dotson began to change Bruce’s dressing carefully. At the same time, he injected Bruce with

an anti-inflammatory drug…

15 minutes later.

“The dressing has been changed. I’ll come back in the afternoon to give Mr. Everett an injection.”

“Alright.”

Dr. Dotson did not say anything else. He packed his things and left.

Joanna looked at Bruce gently. “You must be hungry, right?”

“A little. By the way, didn’t you say yesterday that you were going to make spaghetti for me?” Bruce

suddenly remembered.

Joanna smiled. “Let’s have some oatmeal now!”

As Joanna spoke, she brought over the oatmeal with fruits.

Oatmeal helped in increasing blood iron levels. Bruce had lost too much blood, so he had to replenish

his blood. Moreover, oatmeal was the easiest to digest and absorb.

“Did you prepare it yourself?”

“Yeah!” Joanna held a bowl of oatmeal and stirred it quietly.

Seeing that, Bruce happily accepted it. “Alright! I want my wife to feed me personally.”

“Okay…

Joanna gently stirred the oatmeal with a spoon and fed him spoonful after spoonful.

“Be careful!”

“Alright!” Bruce took one mouthful after another.

“Does it taste nice?” Joanna asked him gently.

“As long as it’s something prepared by my wife, it will be delicious. My wife’s culinary skills are the best.

She’s incomparable. Bruce looked at Joanna dotingly, his eyes filled with tenderness.

Bruce was clearly a picky eater.

However, as long as it was something prepared by Joanna, he would eat it without question. Whether it

was delicious, he would eat it with relish.

He finished the bowl of oatmeal.

Joanna put down the bowl and pretended to be nonchalant as she said, “Aria called you last night.”

Bruce was speechless. When he heard that, his eyes darkened, and he looked at Joanna a little

uneasily.

“Because you were asleep, I answered the phone for you.”

When Bruce heard that, a trace of nervousness appeared in his eyes, and his face instantly turned

pale.

“Well she…”

Online

Joanna also looked straight at Bruce, trying to check his every subtle reaction.

“Honey, I really have nothing to do with her.

“Did she tell you something she shouldn’t have? Don’t believe her. She has gone off the deep end.

Ignore whatever she said. Don’t pay any attention to her at all…”

Joanna could not help but chuckle when she heard that. “You don’t have to be so nervous.

“I just told her to stop pestering you.”

Bruce was speechless. He looked at Joanna in disbelief.

She was actually… so calm?

“What else did you talk about?”

Joanna shrugged. “She said she’s going to have surgery next week. She hopes you’ll be by her side in

the final stage of her

life.

“Also, she hopes I can let her have you.”

Bruce sighed. “I just… don’t know what to say. Bruce was even more upset.

“Anyway, I’ve already told you. When she undergoes surgery, it’s up to you whether you want to fly over

to accompany her.” Joanna acted as if it did not matter.

Anyway, the initiative was in his hands.

She would not interfere with his choice.

Men were creatures that could not be controlled. They depended on their own self-awareness in many

things. Instead of disciplining them forcefully, it was better to carefully guide them into developing good

habits.

Bruce could not tell Joanna’s real emotions. He became even more flustered. “Honey, why do you still

not believe me?

“I’ve already told you that I only feel sympathy for her. If I have any thoughts about her, I’ll die a horrible

death…”

“Alright, don’t curse yourself.” Joanna stretched her hand to cover Bruce’s mouth.

“Stop talking about death. Hurry, spit a couple of times.”

For these kinds of things, good things might not happen, but bad things would.

Therefore, it was better to avoid jinxing oneself as much as possible.

When Bruce heard that, he looked at Joanna a little aggrievedly. “I’m just afraid that you’ll be angry. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.

“You’re a nasty woman who is really used to breaking my heart. You’ve never been willing to believe

me. In your eyes, no matter what I do or say, it’s all bad things.”
