Chapter 165
“Alright! Hurry up and get into the operating theater!”
Bruce’s face darkened instantly as he said, “Are you listening? Tell him to scram immediately and don’t stay here anymore. I do not want to see him!”
“Alright, alright! Got it!” said Joanna with her face darkened.
Bruce went into the operating theater.
When Joanna came out and stood in the hospital corridor, Jaydon approached her and asked with concern, “How is it?”
Joanna paused for a second and said awkwardly, “Jay, why don’t you go back first?”
“Joann…”
“You know Bruce is petty and has a bad temper. He will go insane again if you stay here.”
Jaydon went silent for a few seconds. Then, he smiled at Joanna and said, “Well then. I shall take my leave first. Call me if anything happens!”
“Alright! Got it!”
“I shall leave the factory under your care for the time being.”
Jaydon looked at her gently as he comforted her. “Don’t worry about the factory. I will make the necessary arrangements accordingly!
“As for now, Lilia’s illness is the most important thing that you have to deal with now. As for the rest, you can leave it to me and don’t worry about it.”
Joanna nodded. She trusted Jaydon. She could put the company under his care without worrying about anything at all.
“Sorry to trouble you, Jaydon, I will be back to work as soon as Lilia recovers from her illness.”
“No hurry. Nothing is more important than Lilia’s safety.”
Joanna did not say anything further upon hearing it. She just looked at Jaydon deeply.
“Well, I’ll make a move first then!”
“Bye!”
Jaydon patted Joanna’s shoulder as he turned around and walked out of the hospital!
Indeed, there was no point for him to stay in such a situation.
It would only add more trouble to Joanna if he stayed. At the same time, he would provoke Bruce too.
After Jaydon left the hospital, Miranda and Kelly came to the hospital.
They care to the hospital to accompany Joanna.
Outside the operating theater.
Joanna kept pacing back and forth. She was praying hard for the surgery to be a success.
Miranda and Kelly were so worried too. They kept encouraging Joanna. “Don’t worry. Lilia will be fine!”
“That’s right! Lilia is such a sweet and obedient girl. Heaven will definitely bless such a good girl.”
“Let’s hope so!”
Six hours later.
The red light above the entrance of the operating theater went out. The door was finally opened.
The doctor and the nurses came out of the operating theater.
Joanna approached them immediately when she saw them coming out of the operating theater. “How is it, doctor? Is the surgery a success?”
The doctor nodded confidently as he said, “The surgery is a success. Now, we will only have to monitor if there is any rejection!
“If there is no rejection, we could schedule the second surgery soon!”
“That’s great! Thank you so much, doctor!” Joanna could finally breathe a sigh of relief.
“You are welcome. It is our job.”
After a while, Bruce was the first to be pushed out of the operating theater!
Normally, the patient should undergo a few times of bone marrow transplant surgery according to the rejection. This was the early stage. The rest would depend on recovery!
Joanna approached Bruce hurriedly and said with concern, “How are you feeling, Bruce?”
Bruce was conscious at that moment. He lifted his head to look at Joanna.
His face was a little pale. His sharp and spirited eyes seemed to look a little slack..
He looked very weak now.
Joanna held his hand tightly. Her eyes were filled with gratitude.
“Where is Lilia?”
“She is still inside!”
“Thank you, Bruce!”
“Why are you thanking me?
“I am the father of the child. I did everything for her good. It is the responsibility of a father. It has nothing to do with you!” said Bruce arrogantly.
He was still angry with Joanna. Hence, the words he said were kind of sarcastic.
Joanna’s eyelashes flickered upon hearing what he said.
Upon seeing such a big sacrifice Bruce had made, Joanna decided not to argue with him further.
Three days later.
Basically Bruce had fully recovered.
Lilia’s recovery was good as well. There was no sign of rejection being observed too!
For the past three days, Joanna had been taking care of Lilia in the hospital.
On the fourth day.
After a few days of observation, Lilia showed no sign of rejection.
The doctor was so glad that everything went smoothly. He said, “We can undergo a second surgery after the patient has fully recovered!”
Joanna skipped a beat upon hearing what the doctor said..
“Thank you, doctor.”
“You are welcome.”
Joanna looked at the attending doctor gratefully. Finally, she could put her mind at ease.
With the bone marrow donated by Bruce, Lilia’s surgery was a success!
Lilia would regain her health again after the second surgery.
In the ward.
Bruce was lying on the bed like a boss while Joanna was feeding him food like a subordinate. Soup, beverages, fruits, and supplements were all available
at his command.
It was as if Joanna was serving a King or a Hero right now!
Bruce was enjoying the moment with clear consciousness. He did not let anyone interfere at all.
In fact, he was not as weak as he looked. He could actually get off the bed and walk on his own already.
However, he just liked the feeling when Joanna took good care of him in a cautious manner.
“Do you still want some more?”
“Nope. I am done.”
“Do you want some fruits?”
“Yup.”
Joanna put down the utensil to peel an apple for Bruce.
After that, she cut the apple into small pieces and fed Bruce with a toothpick one after another.
After feeding Bruce a few pieces of apples, Joanna sighed all of a sudden.
“Bruce…”
“What’s wrong?”
“Where are Davian and Irvin? I am worried about them. Can I bring them home now?”
Bruce adjusted his lying posture and rolled his eyes as he said, “They are fine at the Everett mansion. We’d better wait till Lilia recovers…”
“But, it has been so long since I last saw them. I can’t put my mind at ease at all!”
“They are at the Everett mansion. You don’t have to worry a thing about it!”
Joanna hesitated for a few seconds before she frowned and said, “I want to bring the kids home!”
“Not at the moment. Grandma is still undergoing treatment at Melta!
“If Grandma finds out that the kids have been taken away when she is back home, she will be angry for sure!”
“But, you can’t keep me from seeing the kids forever. They are my children!” said Joanna as her eyes turned cold. She stared at Bruce with
dissatisfaction.
If hot for the sake that Bruce had donated bone marrow for her daughter, she would have brought the children back a long time ago.
ww
Bruce’s face darkened instantly as he said, “Let’s wait until Lilia has fully recovered and Grandma’s condition stabilized.
“I will persuade Grandma about this. Don’t worry. She will not take your children away from you!”
“You must keep your word, okay?”
“Of course! When have I, Bruce Everett, ever gone back on my words?”
Upon hearing what he said, Joanna could only wait patiently.
Davian and Irvin were at the Everett mansion, so she did not have to worry about their safety..
The Everett family had so many servants in the mansion. She bet that they would be able to take good care of the kids.
At the Everett mansion.
In the blink of an eye, Davian and Irvin had stayed in the Everett mansion for almost half a month..
Even though they were being well taken care of, they still could not see Joanna and Lilia.
