Chapter 164
Bruce rushed back hurriedly.
He did not even bother to return home. He rushed to the hospital directly as soon as he touched down
However, the moment he entered the ward, he happened to see Joanna in Jaydon’s arms.
Jaydon hugged her tightly in his arms as if he was the only man she could rely on!
It seemed that the three of them looked more like a family!
As for him, he was only a bone marrow donor, an absolute stranger to them!
Bruce felt so heartbroken upon seeing such a scene!
Bruce stood outside the ward. He did not go into the ward.
“Joanna, in the end, you still choose Jaydon instead of me. Aren’t you?
“You came to me just to ask me to donate bone marrow to save our daughter!
“After Lilia recovers from her illness, will you throw yourself into Jaydon’s arms again?”
Bruce flew into a fit of rage instantly.
In the end, he turned around and walked away!
The next day.
Bruce still did not show up!
Joanna has been in the abyss of despair. Her heart was so wretched now.
She had packed everything early in the morning and proceeded with the discharge procedures. She was preparing to take her daughter out of the hospital.
Since her daughter was left with not much time, she wanted to spend more time with her daughter through the last moment of her life!
“Lilia, Mommy is taking you out of the hospital today!”
“Didn’t you like the dolphins in Ocean Park? Mommy is going to bring you there later. After that, we are going to eat burgers, ice cream, and fried chicken. Is that okay for you?”
Children seemed to like all this food. Weren’t they?
In the past, her daughter was sick!
Therefore, she did not dare to let her daughter eat all this junk food. But now, her daughter was dying soon. She did not want to deprive the last joy of her daughter!
“Mommy” kilia wanted to say something. However, she swallowed her words again.
“What’s wrong?”
“Could you go out for a while?”
Joanna was stunned and speechless. She looked at Lilia in confusion.
Lilia gave it a thought for a few seconds before she braced herself and said, “I would like to have a private conversation with Mr. Grimm.”
“Alright! I will be waiting for you outsidel” said Joanna as her eyes welled up. She took a glance at Jaydon before she left the ward.
“Lilia, what do you want to say to me? I am all ears!” said Jaydon as he bent forward to get closer to Lilia. His eyes welled up as well as he spoke.
After Joanna went out of the ward….
Lilia pouted her mouth and burst into tears instantly!
“Mr. Grimm, I know my illness is incurable!
“I know that I am dying soon, but I don’t dare to cry. I am afraid that Mommy will be sad!
“Mommy will definitely be very sad after losing me!
“So, I hope that you could comfort Mommy and let Mommy give birth to another healthy daughter!”
“Lilia…” Jaydon could not endure it anymore. He felt so heartbroken that he burst into tears immediately too!
She was only four years old. Yet, she already knew so many things and was so obedient!
He could not believe that all these words were said by a four years old child!
“I know Daddy doesn’t want me anymore. That’s why he went missing.
“Mommy must have hated him so much right now! But Mr. Grimm, if you happen to see my Daddy, please tell him that I love him.
“I love him very, very much! Even if he did not save me, I would still love him!”
Jaydon’s heart welled up with mixed feelings upon hearing what Lilia said.
In the end, Jaydon nodded his head vigorously and said in a serious manner, “Don’t worry, Lilia. I will definitely tell him about it!”
Lilia smiled upon hearing it. She said, “I am leaving my Mommy under your care now. I hope that you will treat her well!”
Jaydon then carried Lilia in his arms. At that moment, how he hoped that he was the father of the child!
If he was the father of the child, he would donate his bone marrow to her without hesitation!
He would save her at no cost for sure!
“Alright. Let’s discharge from the hospital now. Is that okay for you?”
“Alright!” Lilia replied obediently. Then, she reached out her tiny hand to wipe her tears away.
She was so afraid that her Mommy would be upset after seeing her cry!
Outside the ward.
Upon hearing what her daughter said, Joanna burst into tears as she leaned against the wall helplessly.
What did she do wrong in her previous life?
Why did her daughter need to suffer from such pain?
What sins had she committed in her previous life to let him meet with a jerk like Bruce?
After Lilia was out of the ward, she said in a sweet voice, “Mommy, let’s go!”
“Alright!” Joanna wiped away her tears hurriedly and smiled forcefully at her daughter.
“Let’s go to Ocean Park first. Then, we shall go eat fried chicken, ice cream…” Joanna choked with a sob as she put a smile on her face. Her voice was so
hoarse that it was almost inaudible.
“Alright!”
Three of them were about to go off.
Suddenly…
A cold voice sounded from behind.
“Where are you taking the child to?”
Joanna was stunned when she heard the voice!
She turned around to take a look at it.
Bruce was standing right behind them!
He was standing in the middle of the corridor, against the light. He seemed to have blocked out all the lights in the corridor like a wall.
He looked so gloomy at the moment. As he had blocked out all the light, his face looked gloomier and cold as if he was an ice statue.
His tall figure seemed to be cast by the sunlight which made people feel dizzy by looking at him.
Joanna’s heart was pumping fast. It took her quite some time to regain her consciousness. “Bruce…”
Lilia shouted happily too. “Daddy!”
Bruce took a few steps forward and looked at Joanna with his eyes darkened. “Lilia is undergoing surgery today. Why didn’t you help her get ready? On the contrary, you are bringing her to eat so much junk food instead!
“What kind of mother are you?”
Joanna staggered and almost lost her balance. She looked at Bruce with disbelief!
Jaydon was stunned on the spot upon seeing such a scene.
They did not expect Bruce to appear right before them at such a critical moment!
All of them thought that Bruce, the scumbag, had long fled.
“Daddy, you are finally here!” said Lilia in a sweet voice. Then, she spread her arms at Bruce.
Bruce stared coldly at Jaydon as he carried Lilia over from Jaydon’s arms domineeringly.
“She is my daughter. Not any Tom, Dick, and Harry could carry her!”
Jaydon was so stunned and speechless. He did not know how to refute all of a sudden!
“Daddy, knew that you will come back for me!”
Lilia kissed Bruce’s cheek as she said.
“Bruce, you…” Joanna was so stunned at that moment.
Suddenly, she could see the light in the darkness!
She really did not expect Bruce, that jerk, to appear out of the blue!
“What are you looking at? Hurry up and get the doctor! Get the doctor to be prepared for the surgery!” said Bruce as he stared at Joanna coldly.
“Alright! Alright! I will call the doctor now!” Joanna rushed to Bruce as soon as she finished her words.
She lost control of her emotions and punched Bruce in his chest hard. She punched him as she cried and said, “You are such a jerk! Why did you go missing all of a sudden?
