The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323 

With the next day’s arrival, Joanna rose from her bed at 6 a.m. She meticulously packed her belongings and readied herself for the journey to the airport. 

The drive to the airport would take approximately 40 minutes. 

Leaving precisely at 6:10 a.m. would be ideal. 

Her car had been expertly repaired and promptly returned to her, enabling her to embark on her journey independently! 

Miranda was also up early, diligently preparing a hearty breakfast. “Joann, may your journey be smooth, and may you take the utmost care! Once you reach Gaprington, ring me to let me know you’ve arrived safe and sound.” 

“Got it, I understand!” 

After devouring her breakfast, Joanna dragged her suitcase and descended the elevator to the underground parking lot! 

The underground parking lot. 

Beep–beep! 

Joanna unlocked her car and hopped in. 

Meanwhile, a faint ticking sound emanated from beneath the car as if a needle on a gauge was rhythmically dancing. 

Unfazed by the faint noise, Joanna didn’t give it much thought. She dismissed it as a harmless electrical hum 

With that thought aside, she ignited the car’s engine. 

Just as she was about to exit, the phone began to ring. 

Ring, ring, ring! 

“Hello, Miranda!” 

From the other end of the line, Miranda’s voice carried a sense of urgency. “Joann, you forgot to grab your passport! Shall I bring it to you right away?” 

Joanna instinctively smacked her forehead upon hearing this. “Oh gosh, I completely forgot.” 

“Miranda, can you bring it to me in the elevator lobby? I’ll be waiting for you there.” 

“Sure thing!” 

Joanna let out a yawn and then stepped out of the car, heading toward the elevator lobby. 

In her hurry to leave earlier, she had absentmindedly left her passport on the dressing table, forgetting to pack it into her bag. 

Drip! Drip! Drip! 

The car’s gauge needles began their countdown. 

After Joanna stepped out of the car, she walked approximately 90 to 120 feet when suddenly, a loud and ear–shattering explosion echoed behind her with a resounding “boom!” 

The blast from the exploding bomb sent car glass fragments flying through the air, accompanied by an intense wave of heat that violently propelled her off the ground. 

“Boom!” 

Joanna instinctively lunged forward, hitting the ground with a heavy thud. 

Countless shards of glass embedded themselves into her back, causing her to lose consciousness instantly. 

Blood began to seep and spread across her body. 

The blast bad completely obliterated her car. Thankfully, she had managed to move away from it. Otherwise, she would have been torn apart by the devastating explosion. 

Miranda stepped out of the elevator, only to be jolted by the loud blast, nearly knocking her out. 

“Oh my God, where did that explosion come from?” 

After waiting three minutes, witnessing no further commotion, Miranda anxiously exited the elevator lobby to assess the situation. 

The sight before her was utterly horrifying. Joanna lay motionless in a pool of blood. 

“Joann, Joann, what happened to you?” 

Miranda’s shock turned into sheer panic as she rushed to assess the situation. 

Chapter 323 

Joanna was drenched in blood, unconscious and unresponsive. 

The security guards from the Residential Complex and neighbors who heard the commotion hastily rushed to the scene. 

“What’s going on?” 

Miranda tried to lift Joanna, but her entire body was drenched in blood, making it difficult for her to get a proper grip. She desperately screamed to the security guard at the top of her lungs. “There was an explosion here! Please call an ambulance!” 

“Oh, okay! I’ll call for an ambulance immediately.” 

“And call the police too!” 

“Hello, is this the hospital? Please send an ambulance to Greenwick Residential Complex immediately!” 

“Hello, is this the police station? There has been an explosion at Greenwick Residential Complex…” 

In an instant! 

The entire building was jolted awake. 

The police swiftly arrived on the scene, promptly sealing it off. They dispatched experts to investigate and determine if there were any other hidden explosives. 

It was a small yet powerful bomb, capable of destroying a car without a second thought. 

Amidst the unfortunate events, the silver lining was that Joanna wasn’t inside the car when the explosion occurred. 

In no time at all! 

Joanna was swiftly transported to the hospital by ambulance. 

“Please give way. The patient’s condition is critical…” 

“Doctor, you have to save Joann!” Miranda trailed closely behind, her entire being consumed by panic. 

“Rest assured, we’ll do our best!” The doctor and nurses pushed Joanna swiftly into the operating room. 

“The patient is severely injured. Prepare for immediate surgery… 

The doctor and nurses didn’t dare take the situation lightly, swiftly commencing the life–saving treatment for Joanna. 

Outside the operating room, Miranda kept her hands clasped together in continuous prayer. 

“Joann, may the divine watch over you, keeping you safe and sound.” 

“Poor Joann, who could be so heartless as to unleash such a vicious attack upon you!” 

At 9.30 a.m., the usual time for hustle and bustle, Bruce made his way to the office as usual. 

Inside his car, the radio broadcasted the latest news of the day. 

“We have an urgent news update. There has been an explosion in the underground parking lot of Greenwick Residential Complex.” 

“A woman has been critically injured in the explosion, and sources reveal that she is none other than the chairman of the Haynes Group! She has been rushed to Greyport Hospital for emergency treatment, and her life hangs in the balance.” “The police have now launched an investigation into what appears to be a terrorist attack…” 

Boom! 

Bruce’s head spun upon hearing this news! 

“Greenwick Residential Complex, chairman of the Haynes Group…” 

Bruce’s heart pounded with unease as he swiftly retrieved his phone to call Joanna. 

Ring, ring, fing! 

He dialed her number repeatedly, but Joanna’s phone remained unreachable. 

“We need to go to the hospital, immediately head to Greyport Hospital!” 

“Got it, Mr. Everett!” The driver immediately made a sharp turn, heading toward Greyport Hospital. 

Fifteen minutes later! 

Bruce arrived in haste at Greyport Hospital. 

At the nurse’s station, Bruce’s heart pounding with urgency, grabbed a nurse and anxiously inquired, “Nurse, what’s the name of the victim in the explosion today? Is it Joanna?” 

The nurse nodded, taken aback by Bruce’s presence, …Yes, it is!” 

Chapter 323 

Bruce’s heart sank, and a wave of unease washed over him. 

“Where can I find Joanna? Which floor is she on?” 

“She’s in the operating room on the third floor…” 

Bruce was already sprinting toward the third floor without waiting for the nurse to finish her sentence. 

Bruce raced up to the third floor, gasping for breath. 

At the operating room entrance, Miranda anxiously scanned the area, her face etclied with fear. 

Upon seeing Miranda, Bruce’s despair intensified. 

“Miranda, where is Joanna?” 

Miranda turned around, recognizing Bruce, and immediately burst into tears. “Mr. Everett, Joann is still in the operating 

room…” 

Bruce’s eyes widened, and he felt a wave of dizziness. 

“Joanna, you have to wake up. Please wake up!” 

The surgery stretched on for over two hours.
