The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 417

Chapter 417 

Seeing this, Joanna quickly reached out and touched her daughter’s forehead. 

The temperature was not very high. It did not seem like she was having a high fever. 

However, Lilia had always been sick. Thus her body’s immune system was weak. 

“Mommy will take you to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow.” 

When Lilia heard this, her little face turned pale. She shook her head and said. “I don’t want to go to the hospital. 

Joanna squatted down and gently touched her daughter’s face. “My darling, we’re just going for a checkup. It’s best if your body is fine.” 

“Oh. alright!” Lilia pouted and reluctantly agreed. 

Although the Everett family had a family doctor, some medical equipment was unavailable. Thus, they had to go to the hospital for a checkup. 

The family doctor has taken care of Bruce’s wound in the lounge. ‘Mr. Everett, you should take good care of this wound,” 

said the doctor. 

“Take your medicine and change the dressing every day.” 

“Okay, got it.” 

“Then I’ll get going first. I’ll come back tomorrow to change your dressing.” 

“Alright.” Bruce replied casually as he smoked. 

The family doctor packed up his medical kit and left the lounge. 

Then, Joanna walked in. “Bruce, I’m bringing Lilia to the hospital for a checkup tomorrow.” 

When Bruce heard this, his face stiffened. “Yes, okay. I’ll go with you tomorrow.” 

“No need. Aren’t you going back to the office for a meeting tomorrow? I can go with the servant.” 

“Can you 

do it alone?” 

Joanna rolled her eyes. “I have always been bringing Lilia to the hospital alone.” 

When Bruce heard this, he smiled awkwardly and said. “Then rest early. 

At night. 

In the bedroom. 

Bruce started to be naughty again. “Honey…” 

Joanna rejected him in frustration. “Your arm is injured now. Could you just be good? You’ve lost so much blood. Take good care of yourself.” 

“No, I want a kiss!” 

“Stop fooling around. We’ll talk about it when you’re better.” 

Bruce snorted and continued to pester her. “I injured my arm, not there.” 

“I have to hand it to you. We can’t do it tonight. Go to bed early. I still have to go to the hospital tomorrow morning.” 

“I still have to visit Dad tomorrow. It’s been a long time since I’ve visited him. I’m still quite worried.” 

Bruce was stunned for a moment, then said dully, “Alright! Can I at least get a kiss?” 

Joanna had no choice but to turn over again. She leaned forward and kissed him on the mouth. 

“That’s inore like it.” 

“Hurry up and sleep! Don’t think about those things anymore.” 

“Okay. I shall not torment you anymore. Is that okay?” 

After saying that, Bruce obediently lay back down. He closed his eyes and soon fell asleep. 

Joanna turned over again and looked at him, who was sleeping soundly. Her face suddenly darkened. 

“Bruce Everett, don’t think that just because you took a stab for me, it can remove the hatred in my heart.” 

“Compared to the hurt you gave me, this is nothing. Joanna, you can’t be soft–hearted, absolutely not!” 

“Everything has to go according to plan. You can’t give up halfway. Bruce Everett, I’ll let you live in pain forever.”

The next day. 

Joanna woke up early in the morning. She had to go to the hospital today. She did not sleep well last night. 

Bruce woke up too. He rubbed his eyes and looked at the time. “Why are you up so carly?” 

While changing. Joanna replied, Tm taking Lilia to the hospital. 

“Are you sure you don’t want me to go with you?” 

“No need. You have to go back to the office for a meeting later. I’ll go with the servant.” 

Bruce nodded. “Alright, be careful. Call me when you reach the hospital. I’ll pick you up after the meeting.” 

“Alright, will do.” 

Joanna changed her clothes, left the bedroom, and went to Lilia’s room. 

Lilia hasn’t woken up yet. Joanna called Lilia’s name for a good while before she finally woke her up.” 

Just like yesterday, she looked listless. 

“Let’s go, baby.” 

As Joanna spoke, she carried her daughter up. 

Even though her daughter was already five years old, she only weighed about 30 pounds. It was not difficult to carry her. 

Hospital! 

At nine o’clock in the morning. Joanna arrived at the children’s hospital with Lilia. 

Because she had already made an appointment in advance, there was no need to queue anymore. 

“Doctor, could you please examine my daughter again? She seems to be unwell.” 

After all, Lilia had leukemia before. 

This illness had a high chance of relapsing- 

After a brief inquiry, the doctor examined the condition again and said. “We still need to perform a CT scan and conduct another blood test.” 

“Alright, okay.” 

“Mommy, I don’t want to draw blood… Lilia had her blood drawn countless times. She was most afraid of injections. 

“Baby Lilia is the strongest. Mommy will carry you, okay?” 

“It’s alright. We’ll only know if she’s fully cured after we conduct a blood test!” 

Joanna kept comforting Lilia. It was not easy for her to coax her daughter. 

The nurse drew two tubes of her blood and brought her to the CT room for various tests. 

After the examination, Joanna asked the nurse, “How long will it take for the results to be out?” 

“The other test results could be collected in an hour. The results of the blood test would only be out tomorrow.” 

Joanna had also expected this. It was always like this in the past. “Alright, I understand.” 

When it was almost noon. Bruce called and asked, “How was it?” 

“There’s nothing wrong with these tests. We’ll have to wait till tomorrow for the blood test results.” 

“Oh, then I’m relieved…” 

They left the children’s hospital. 

Joanna called Fantine again. 

Beep beep beep! 

“Hello, Miss Joann.” 

“Is Dad in the hospital now?” 

“Oh, Mr. Haynes is here.” 

Joanna paused for a moment. “I’ll go over to see him later. Tell Dad.”

Chapter 417 “Okay.” 

After the call. Joanna prepared to go to the sanatorium to see Shaun Haynes! 

“Lilia, follow Auntie Lilian home first. Mommy will 

go 

and see Grandpa.” 

When Lilia heard this, she also clamored to go. “Mommy, I want to go too.” 

“Alright then!” 

Joanna had no choice but to bring Lilia and the servant to the sanatorium. 

One o’clock in the afternoon! 

Joanna arrived at the sanatorium.. 

Shaun had lived here for almost a year. 

In the ward. 

Joanna pushed the door open and walked in. “Daddy. I’m here to see you!” 

Shaun is now critically ill. His previously slightly overweight and fair–complexioned body is now emaciated and frail, giving off a sense of a waning twilight of life. 

Joanna’s heart ached. She could no longer hate her father. “Dad…” 

When Shaun heard her voice, he opened his eyes shakily. He glanced at Joanna and said a few words. 

However, Joanna didn’t understand what he was saying. Moreover, he wasn’t as emotionally agitated as before. His turbid eyes revealed endless vicissitudes and desolation. 

“What’s Daddy talking about?”
