Chapter 873
“Ah, you heartless little thing. I miss you every day, but you don’t miss me at all.
“Little thing, watch how I punish you when I get there.”
Joanna choked. “Why did you say that? I clearly said that I missed you just now.”
“Hmm, you’re not sincere. If you missed me, you would have urged me to go over long ago,” Bruce
replied resentfully. Joanna laughed.
“Where’s Lilia? I want to video call my daughter.”
“Oh, wait a minute then,” Joanna said as she lifted the blanket and left the room.
Then, she took the phone and walked towards Lilia’s room.
With a crack, the door opened.
Lilia had just woken up. When she saw her mommy enter, she greeted her mother nicely, “Good
morning, Mommy.” “Good morning, baby.”
Seeing her mother holding her phone, Lilia smiled sweetly. “Mommy, are you on the phone with
Daddy?”
“Yes! Daddy wants to video call you.” Joanna came to the bed and handed the phone to her daughter.
On the other end of the video, there was a gentle and doting smile on Bruce’s handsome face. “Baby
Lilia, are you feeling better?”
“Good morning, Daddy.” Lilia yawned with sleepy eyes.
“It’s already afternoon here.”
“Oh, good afternoon, Daddy.”
“Are you still asleep?”
Lilia was like a little kitten as she replied cutely, “I’m already awake, but I’m still a little sleepy.”
“Alright! I can tell that you’re so sleepy. Why don’t you sleep a little longer.”
“Yes, I got it, Daddy.”
Bruce gave his daughter a flying kiss.
“Daddy loves you, baby.”
“Goodbye, Daddy.” Lilia handed the phone back to her mommy.
Joanna also yawned. “Alright, I can’t talk to you anymore. I still have to bring Lilia to the hospital for a
follow-up later.”
“Yes, yes. That’s it, then.”
“Then I’m hanging up!” Joanna said and was about to hang up.
“Just a kiss.” Bruce glared at Joanna in dissatisfaction.
This heartless woman was always in a hurry to hang up on him.
Joanna sighed and kissed the camera.
Bruce pursed his lips. “That’s more like it.”
“I’m hanging up.” Joanna didn’t say anything else and hung up.
“Lilia, you have to go to the hospital for a checkup today. Hurry up and get up.”
“Okay, got it.
Lilia had stayed in the hospital for five days and had now moved back to the hotel.
After all, the hospital’s accommodation conditions were nothing like the hotel’s.
Moreover, there were not enough beds in the hospital. Joanna and the others moved back to the hotel.
It was in the morning, 9:80 AM. At Carl Hospital.
“Doctor, how’s my daughter’s leg?”
Doctor Carl did another detailed checkup on Lilia and replied in Antlenish, “She is recovering well. She
can do a second
correction soon. Exclusive © content by N(ô)ve/l/Drama.Org.
“Come back next week for a follow-up. This is the medicine prescribed today. Make sure she takes it on
time.”
“Okay. Thank you, Doctor.”
“You’re welcome.”
Joanna said to Lilia, “Say goodbye to Doctor Carl.”
“Goodbye, Doctor.” Lilia sat in the wheelchair and waved at Doctor Carl.
Doctor Carl also smiled kindly at Lilia.
“Let’s go!”
“Miss, we’re leaving.” The special carer Rose smiled and pushed the wheelchair out.
Darcy and Carson were waiting outside the hospital.
“Madam, is Miss done with her follow-up?” Carson asked with concern.
“Yes, it’s done. We can go back now.”
“Alright, I’ll tell the driver to get the car now.”
Joanna nodded. “Yes!”
The group walked towards the entrance of the hospital.
When he passed by the ladies’ restroom, Joanna frowned slightly: “Wait a moment, I’m going to the
restroom.”
“Okay.” The group stopped and waited at the restroom door.
Seeing this, Joanna suddenly felt that it was indecent. “Well, why don’t you get in the car first?
“I’ll find you guys after I go to the restroom.”
“Yes, ma’am.”
In any case, the restroom was not far from the entrance. At most, it was 200 yards away.
Joanna walked straight to the ladies’ restroom.
After going to the restroom, Joanna came to the sink, washed her hands, and brushed her hair in the
mirror.
In a flash, a familiar woman’s figure walked past Joanna.
Joanna was facing the mirror and happened to see it.
“Jesus…”
Joanna was subconsciously stunned and hurriedly turned around to take a closer look.
The woman was gone.
Immediately, Joanna’s heart thumped. She hurried out of the restroom and went to the corridor to look
for the woman.
Unfortunately, the corridor was already empty.
“Oh my god, look at this woman… She looks like Aria.”
Joanna still had lingering fears. She felt as if her blood had condensed in her body.
Aria was currently missing. Joanna was worried that Aria would suddenly appear.
Joanna was feeling uneasy when she heard a voice. “Madam.”
“Ah!” Joanna was in a daze and was shocked.
Seeing this, Tatiana hurriedly asked with concern, “Madam, what’s wrong?”
Joanna was so frightened that she panicked. When she focused her gaze, she saw that the person
behind her was Tatiana.
“It’s you! You scared me.”
“What happened?”
“Where is Lilia?”
Tatiana’s expression was a little solemn. “Miss has already gotten into the car.”
“Oh, let’s hurry up and leave Joanna was still uneasy and followed Tatiana to the car.
After getting into the car, Joanna’s heart finally calmed down a little, but her face was still pale.
Seeing her mommy’s unhappy expression, Lilia asked carefully, “Mommy, why do you look so pale?
What’s wrong?”
Joanna smiled and rubbed her daughter’s head. “It’s nothing. Let’s go back.”
“Mommy, I want to go play in the park last time.”
“Be good. Let’s go back to the hotel as soon as possible. Don’t go anywhere.”
Lilia pouted. “Mommy, it’s still so early! I’m just going for a walk. I’ll be back at the hotel soon.
“After being cooped up in the hospital for so long and in the hotel for so many days, I’m almost bored to
death.”
Joanna still did not agree. Her tone was firm. “Be good. We’ll go another day. Mommy is a little tired
today and wants to go back and rest early.”
“Oh, alright then!” Lilia could not help but look disappointed.
Joanna sat in the car and began to feel uneasy.
After so many days, Joanna had almost forgotten about Aria.
Now, Aria suddenly appeared again.
Joanna was really a little afraid.
“I hope I’m just seeing things…”
Back at the hotel, Joanna thought about it and decided to tell Bruce her worries.
If Joanna was alone, she would not be so flustered.
However, with Lilia by her side, Joanna did not dare to be careless.
“Beep, beep, beep.”
Joanna anxiously dialed Bruce’s number.
The call went through quickly.
“Hey, honey, why are you calling me?” Bruce teased.
Most of the time, he took the initiative to call her.
