The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 163

Chapter 163 

Joann, what do you plan to do if he does not appear eventually?Jaydon asked worriedly

Joanna shook her head in a daze as she said, I don’t know. My mind is in a mess now!” 

Jaydon frowned as he said in pity, It is such a pity that my blood type does not match Lilia’s blood type.” 

If my bone marrow is a match with Lilia’s bone marrow, I will donate it to save Lilia for sure!” 

Stop, Jay! Don’t say it anymore! Joanna was choking back a sob as she said. She was so lost at that particular moment

Let’s wait for a little longer time then! Miracle might happen!” 

I really hope so!” 

Joanna continued to call Bruce. If he really did not want to donate the bone marrow, he should at least tell her in person and not went missing just like 

that.. 

If Bruce called her in person to tell her about it, she could at least give up all her hope. But now, the feeling of being swayed by considerations of gain and loss, and hovering between hope and despair were driving her crazy

Doo! Doo! Doo

Joanna kept making calls to Bruce, one after another

However, it was such a pity that none of them got through

Jaydon said furiously upon seeing such a situation, We are left with so little time that we don’t have enough time to find another match now!” 

Bruce is such a jerk! I did not expect him to be so heartless. How can he not save his own flesh and blood?” 

Joanna had given up all her hope. Her phone had run out of battery too. Jay, please stop talking. My mind is in a mess now. I need some space now!” 

Through the glass window… 

Joanna saw Lilia lying on the bed weakly. Her hair had been shaved. She looked exactly like a soulless doll now

Joanna’s tears had already dried up. She was so helpless at that moment. She could not do anything at all

Other than Bruce, she could not think of any other alternatives to save her daughter

Joanna walked to the window and prayed sincerely upon the starry night sky

If possible, I am willing to trade my life for my daughter’s life. I beg upon you, Almighty God! Please let my daughter live!” 

Don’t worry, Joann. Miracles will happen for sure!” 

In just a link of an eye…. 

It was already Sunday night

Lilia would need to undergo the surgery tomorrow

However, Bruce was still nowhere in sight

The doctor had been urging Joanna on this matter. However, she was still unable to contact Bruce

In the clinic

The doctor said seriously, If you are still unable to contact the donor, I am afraid that we would have to cancel the surgery tomorrow!” 

Joanna sat opposite the doctor in a daze. Her face was as pale as a sheet. She looked so haggard at that moment. She said, Doctor, is there any other 

way

Please, doctor! Could you think of another way to save my daughter? Please! Please save my daughter! I beg upon you!” 

Joanna became more agitated as she spoke. She grabbed the doctor’s hand tightly with her eyes filled with despair

The doctor pulled his hand out forcefully. Then, he said helplessly, I am sorry that there is no other way of saving your daughter! Other than bone marrow transplantation, nothing else would work for your daughter’s condition

So, you’d better contact the patient’s father as soon as possible. We could not proceed with the surgery in his absence” 

Joanna felt so desperate when she walked out of the clinic

“You are so heartless, Bruce. Are you going to leave your daughter in the lurch?” 

After Joanna finished mumbling, she burst into laughter all of a sudden

Why would she expect anything from Bruce

She was really too naive. Bruce had always been so ruthless. He was so domineering and decisive that he would leave no room for mercy. Wasn’t that his style as usual

He would only be losing a sickly daughter

He did not suffer any loss at all! There were so many women out there who were willing to bear a child for him if he was willing to do so

Joanna was indeed too naive. She thought that Bruce would be kind enough to save Lilia taking the account that she was his flesh and blood

Well, she had overestimated him indeed

In the ward

Joanna looked at Lilia in a daze. Her face was filled with indescribable sorrow

Lilia bit the corner of her lips as she looked at Joanna and said weakly, Mommy, does Daddy don’t want me anymore?” 

Joanna put on a wry smile and tried to comfort her daughter. Lilia, Mommy will always be your side” 

Lilia blinked her eyes and said heartbrokenly, Mommy, your eyes are swollen and welled up! Did you cry for a very long time?” 

Of course not! I am not crying.However, before Joanna could finish her words, her tears flowed down her cheek uncontrollably

Lilia reached out her tiny hand and tried her best to wipe the tears off Joanna’s face. Mommy, is my illness incurable?” 

Of course not, my darling You will be fine and your illness will be cured soon!” 

Where Daddy?have not seen him for days. Could it be that he is unwilling to save me now?” 

Joanna was so heartbroken upon hearing what Lilia said

She did not know how to explain to the child at all

She did not want the child to suffer from the pain of being abandoned again right before her death

No! Of course not. Daddy is very busy. He is dealing with some urgent matters now. That’s why he could not make it back in time. He will be back as soon as he finishes his work!” 

Really?said Lilia with her eyes lit up. Then, she smiled sweetly at Joanna

In fact, Lilia was not a fool. How would she not know the reason why her Daddy went missing

It must be that her Daddy did not want her anymore. That was why he went off quietly all of a sudden

Just that, she did not dare to cry. She was afraid that her Mommy would be more upset if she saw her crying

Joanna put on a wry smile as she said, Of course! Daddy and Mommy love you very much!” 

I love Mommy, Daddy, Davian, and Irvin too!” 

Joanna covered her eyes and wiped her tears away with her sleeves. Then, she smiled radiantly at her daughter and said, Darling, is there anything that 

you want to do?” 

Lilia tilted her head and gave it a thought. A few seconds later, she said, I want to eat chocolate!” 

Alright. Mommy will buy chocolate for you, a lot of chocolates, okay?” 

Mommy, didn’t you say that I cannot eat chocolate now because I am sick

I will eat it after I have recovered from my illness!” 

Mommy lied to you in the past because you will have cavities if you eat too much chocolate. But you are undergoing surgery soon, so you can have as many as you like before the surgery.” 

Joanna smiled as she said with her eyes welled up. But, she could only swallow her tears.. 

Bruce had gone missing

He must be getting cold feet and unwilling to take the risk of donating the bone marrow now

If he refused to donate his bone marrow, Lilia was tantamount to a death sentence

Now, all Joanna could do was try her best to fulfill her daughter’s wishes

She wanted to fulfill all of Lilia’s wishes before her death

What else do you want, Lilia?” 

I want to take a family portrait with Daddy, Mommy, Davian, and Irvin!said Lilia innocently

Why are you having such a thought?” 

I saw other people taking family portraits as a family in the television program. So, I want to take it too!” 

Mommy, where are Davian and Irvin? Why aren’t they visiting me?” 

Joanna was so heartbroken upon hearing what she said

Jaydon could not take it anymore. He smiled as he looked at Lilia and said, Lilia, why don’t I take the family portrait with you?” 

Mr. Grimm!Lifia smiled sweetly at Jaydon

Although she liked Mr. Grimm too

But, she loved her Daddy more

Even though her Daddy was fierce and she only got to meet him three to four times… 

She still loved her Daddy. With Daddy’s presence, she felt that her family was complete again
