Chapter 350
“I know. You really don’t have to explain.”
Joanna still explained carefully, Tm afraid that you’ll be angry, and I’m even more afraid that you’ll misunderstand!”
Jaydon smiled. “That won’t happen. It’s not like we’ve known each other for a day or two. I’m not that narrow–minded.”
After hearing this, Joanna’s nervousness relaxed a little. “Well, how are you? Did your rehabilitation training go smoothly?”
“It’s alright!”
“After I’m done with my work, I’ll visit you at Gaprington”
Jaydon paused for a few seconds before rejecting her. “It’s alright. I’ll come back to visit you when I’m completely recovered.”
“If.. Jaydon paused.
“If what?”
“It’s nothing. That’s all for now! Take care of yourself.”
Joanna listened and guessed what Jaydon wanted to say.
“Jay, don’t feel burdened. Don’t care about what others say. No matter if you can recover or not, as long as you don’t despise me, I’m willing to be with you.”
“I know!” Jaydon said. His heart was still aching.
If he couldn’t recover, he would give up pursuing Joanna.
Bruce was right. He should not add burdens and burdens to her if he really loved her.
He knew that Bruce still loved Joanna deeply. If he really became disabled, he would rather Joanna return to Bruce’s side.
“It’s fine. Take care of yourself.”
“Okay!”
They ended the call.
Joanna ran her fingers through her hair, feeling irritated. There were so many things lately, making her feel suffocated.
Joanna looked at her the calendar on her phone.
It was Wednesday.
She had to plan her itinerary and arrange her work properly.
The most important thing was the matter in Greyport. She couldn’t let Mr. Roger take over the chairman’s position anymore. Otherwise, the company would be emptied.
Half an hour had passed.
Bruce waited for her in the ward.
Joanna returned to the ward absent–mindedly. Her beautiful eyes revealed a trace of fatigue and uneasiness.
Bruce looked up and gave Joanna a worried look. His tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction. “Why were you gone for so long? It’s been more than half an hour. Do you have to take so long to make a call?”
“I have to take care of some things.”
“Hmph, you must be secretly on the phone with your lover again.”
Joanna was frustrated and could not be bothered to argue with him!
Bruce grumbled in dissatisfaction, “Are you remaining silent because I guessed right?”
Joanna had a headache and replied resentfully, “Doesn’t your stomach hurt anymore? Do you still have the strength to talk so much? I think you look fine.”
Bruce looked up and snarled, “My stomach hurts, but it doesn’t affect my speech!
“Besides, I can divert my attention from the pain if I talk.”
Joanna did not say anything else. She sighed and sat at the head of the bed weakly.
“What’s wrong? You look listless.”
“Did Jaydon piss you off again?”
Chapter 350
Joanna turned around and rolled her eyes at him in disgust.
“What is it?”
“I’m fine! Joanna replied coldly.
Bruce snorted resentfully. “You don’t have to lie to me. From your expression, it’s obvious that something is wrong. Why don’t you just tell me what happened?
“Even if I can’t solve it for you, I can help you come up with ideas.”
“I don’t need your help!”
“Tsk. I don’t even know what you’re thinking! Other people are crying and begging me to give them pointers, but I can’t be bothered.
“Now, I’m taking the initiative to help you solve your troubles, but you’re rejecting it.”
Joanna could not be bothered to say anything more to him. She got up and walked out!
“Where are you going now?”
“Tm going to eat something!
“Please! I’ve been keeping an eye on you all day. I’ve barely eaten. Now I’m starving.”
“I didn’t eat anything either!”
“You can’t eat it after the surgery. I can’t starve with you, right?”
“Hmph!” Bruce snorted.
This damned woman really knew how to ask for trouble!
She could be with him, the wealthiest man in town, and didn’t have to do anything. Why did she have to be so stubborn and work in the business world?
The media company that she had started was famous because he had spoken to president from the television station!
Otherwise, why would such a big television station collaborate with an unknown new media company?
What an ungrateful woman!
Without him, how could her company develop so smoothly?
The nurses were at the nurse station in the VIP ward
A few young nurses could not help but gossip. “Hey! Do you guys know who the patient in Room 9 is?”
“He had so many bodyguards and assistants following him. It’s like in a movie!”
Another chubby–faced nurse said infatuatedly, “I looked at the medical record. It seems to be Bruce Everett!”
“Bruce Everett? No way?”
“It’s really him!”
“Oh my god, are you saying that the richest man in Greyport came to our hospital for surgery?”
“What’s impossible about that? He’s suffering from an acute illness. He can’t rush back to Greyport for treatment, right?”
“Oh my god! I can’t believe it. What about the woman in the ward?”
“Looks like his ex–wife!
“Isn’t his ex–wife Joanna Haynes? They’re already divorced. Why would his ex–wife stay here to take care of him?”
“Who knows?”
“I heard that Bruce is dating Princess Novlis. I wonder if it’s true. Why is he with his ex–wife now?”
“Also, some time ago, he had a scandal with the daughter of the Ship King Which one is his real girlfriend?”
A more mature–looking nurse added, “Isn’t it normal for wealthy families to do such things? Which successful man doesn’t have multiple girlfriends?”
“Tsk, there are many good men.”
“That’s just because it hasn’t been exposed yet. Do you think they don’t keep any mistresses?”
“That’s true! However, this Mr. Everett is so handsome. Even if he doesn’t have money, many women are willing to stick around him! If it were me, I would be willing too.”
“Don’t be infatuated. Hurry up and change his dressing!”
Chapter 330
“I’ll go! I’ll go!”
After the few young nurses at the nurse’s desk finished gossiping, they all fought to change Bruce’s dressing! Night fell…
Joanna naturally stayed in the hospital overnight. Fortunately, there was another bed in the ward!
Joanna was exhausted.
As soon as she laid the bed, she fell asleep in less than three minutes.
Although Bruce’s stomach hurt unbearably, his desire still struck and overtook his pain.
Unfortunately, he was ill and coudl not do what he wanted. Otherwise, he would probably not be able to resist forcing himself on her again.
Midnight!
Bruce struggled to get up to go to the toilet. He wanted to call Joanna to help him up! However, seeing Joanna sleeping so soundly, he could not bear to wake her.
She could only endure the pain alone and slowly move to the washroom.
Soon, it was morning again.
The doctor came to check on Bruce.
“It is 24 hours after the surgery now. The patient can eat now!
“But he will have to eat some digestible liquid food.”
Joanna listened attentively. “Okay. Does he have to pay attention to anything else?”
“Also, he has to keep himself warm. He shouldn’t drink cold drinks or cat spicy and stimulating food!”
