Chapter 205
Soon, the family doctor asked the nurse to give Joanna a fever–subsiding injection! He also passed a fever–subsiding patch
on her.
“Mr. Everett, I’ve injured the patient. The patient’s immunity is too weak. It’s best for her to rest in bed for a few days!”
“Tomorrow and the day after. She has to take two more shots.”
“Alright, got it!”
The family doctor left after giving a few more instructions.
The injection was taken early in the morning.
It was soon past ten o’clock!
Joanna woke up in a daze. Because of the fever injection, her mouth was extremely dry.
“Cough! Cough!”
“Joann, you’re awake!” Bruce said as he personally brought a glass of water to the bed!
Joanna’s mouth was dry. She took the cup and took a few sips!
“Drink slowly. Don’t choke!” Bruce thoughtfully patted her back to case her cough.
Joanna finally felt a little better after drinking the water.
She looked around and was shocked.
“What time is it?”
There you go again. Can’t you rest in peace for a few days?”
Joanna struggled to sit up straight. There was work waiting for her at the company!
How could she rest?
“Hurry up and lie down…”
“Bruce, you bastard! Cough! Don’t touch me!” Joanna angrily blocked Bruce’s hand. Her beautiful face looked mad.
“You’re running a high fever. The doctor wants you to rest in bed!”
Joanna’s emotions rose. “Go away. Don’t touch me!”
“If you do this again, I’ll punish you again!”
“Bruce, do you know that you’re committing a crime? I can sue you…”
Bruce smiled teasingly. “Alright! When you’re better, sue me! It’s best if you send me to jail!”
“Do you think I don’t dare?” Joanna was so angry that she lost control of her emotions. Her chest heaved violently.
“Alright, alright. Don’t be so agitated!”
“Here’s the phone. Call the police!” Bruce said and threw the phone at Joanna.
Joanna was so angry that tears welled up in her eyes. She did not dare to call the police!
Chapter 205
She was already the “influential figure of Greyport. If these things were to be exposed again, her popularity would skyrocket.
She didn’t want to be the center of attention anymore.
“Stop crying! You heartless woman!
“Do you know how much money I’m going to lose to take care of you at home?”
“Who cares about you taking care of me!”
Meanwhile, Roxanne was in the Everett mansion!
“Change into this gown! It’s more appropriate to accompany Bruce to the banquet, tonight!”
“Okay!” Roxanne held the gown and was about to try it on.
“Mrs. Everett, Ms. Haynes, the banquet tonight has been canceled!”
Roxanne was stunned.
The Everett Group and the Mitla Group were about to collaborate. For this reason, they even specially held a banquet to entertain the president of the Mitla Group.
The date had been set a long time ago. Why was it suddenly canceled?
Margaret was also confused. “Where’s Bruce?”
“Mrs. Everett, Mr. Everett didn’t go to the company today!”
Margaret was shocked. “Huh? Isn’t he meeting with the president of Mitla Group today?”
“Yes, Mr. Everett has canceled all of today’s schedules, including today’s banquet!”
When Margaret and Roxanne heard this, they were even more shocked.
“So where is he now?”
“I don’t know!”
Margaret’s face darkened. She was very angry.
How could one be so willful in the business world?
“Hurry up
“Yes!”
and call Bruce. Let’s see where he went.”
The butler did not dare to hesitate and quickly called Bruce.
Meanwhile, Bruce was with Joanna.
Bruce saw–that it was a call from the butler and picked up. “Hello, what’s the matter?”
“Mr. Everett asked where you are now.”
“What happened?”
“Mrs. Everett asked where you are now.”
Bruce frowned. “I’m… at home!”
Chapter 205
Margaret grabbed the phone angrily and scolded, “Do you know what day it is today?”
“I know!”
“Then what could be more important than meeting with President Mitla?”
“Do you know? All high–level executive is waiting for you to have a meeting. Where did you go?”
Bruce took a deep breath and mumbled. “I’m not feeling well today!”
“So. I didn’t go to the company!”
When Margaret heard this, his anger turned to anxiety. “Are you feeling unwell?”
Bruce answered with a rough voice.
“What the hell is wrong with you?”
“It’s nothing. I just have a high fever!”
“Have you seen a doctor?”
“Yes!”
“Grandma, don’t worry. I just have a fever and a cold! I’ll be fine after resting for two days!”
Bruce didn’t dare to say anything else. He quickly brushed off Margaret and hurriedly hung up.”
After hanging up. Margaret called the family doctor over.
“Dr. Litman, how’s Bruce?”
“Hmm…” Dr. Litman frowned and hesitated.
“Why are you hesitating?”
“Didn’t you go to treat Bruce this morning? How is he now?”
Dr. Litman squeezed out an awkward smile. “Mr. Everett is pretty good!”
“Why did he say he was so sick that he didn’t even get to work?”
“Erm…” Dr. Litman hesitated, not knowing how to respond.
Seeing this, Margaret became even more anxious. “Hurry up and say it!”
“When I went there, I wasn’t treating Mr. Everett!”
When Margaret heard that, she became even more suspicious. “If you were not treating Bruce, who did you treat?”
“Erm… Ms. Haynes!”
Boom!
Margaret and Roxanne were stunned when they heard that.
“You mean Bruce and Joanna were together last night?”
Dr. Litman hesitated. “I’m not sure. I just went over to treat the patient!”
Where are they?”
