The three of them took turns comforting Lilia.
Chapter 452
“Okay.” Lilia nodded gently and finally agreed to shave her head.
Soon, the nurse took a hair shaver and shaved all of Davian’s hair.
Then, she shaved Irvin’s hair as well.
“It’s so relaxing without hair. It’s so cool!” Davian and Irvin rubbed their bald heads and kept teasing their sister.
“It’s my turn. Shave my hair too!”
“Okay. Mr. Everett!”
After a while, Bruce, Davian, and Irvin’s hair were all shaved. Their heads were smooth.
“Haha, Daddy and brothers are like three eggs!”
“That’s right. We’ll shave our heads with you. That way, you won’t have to worry about being laughed at!”
“Come on, Lilia. You’ll recover. After you recover, I’ll take you to ride a horse, make cookies, and pick up seashells by the
sea.”
“Alright, it’s a deal!”
When the nurse saw this, her eyes could not help but turn red. She gently shaved Lilia’s head.
Joanna watched from the side. She bit her lips tightly and held back her tears.
Bruce hugged Joanna’s shoulders and smiled gently. “It’s fine. Lilia will survive.”
“Okay.” Joanna nodded sadly.
“How is it? Am I ugly?” Bruce teased and touched his bald head.
Joanna glanced at him and smiled with tears in her eyes. “Have you been handsome before?”
Baldness was the standard for testing handsome men. Even though Bruce had shaved all his hair, it still couldn’t hide his compelling handsomeness. He even looked more manly.
In less than ten minutes, Lilia’s soft hair was also shaved.
Bruce took out his phone and said to the nurse, “Miss, please take a family photo for us!”
“Okay!” The nurse quickly took the phone.
Joanna hugged Lilia, Davian, and Irvin. Bruce opened his arms and hugged the four of them.
The nurse took a family photo of them.
“The patient has to undergo all kinds of tests tomorrow. She can’t drink water or eat anything, and Mr. Everett needs a checkup too!”
“Yes, I understand.”
Previously, Bruce had already transplanted bone marrow to Lilia once. Only his bone marrow matched Lilia’s, but more than a year had passed, and he still had to check his body’s indicators.
“Bruce, thank you!” Joanna sincerely thanked Bruce for his contribution.
“What nonsense are you talking about? This is our daughter. I’m willing to pay any price.” Joanna was extremely touched when she heard that.

Last time, Bruce wanted to transplant the bone marrow to Lilia. However, Margaret obstructed him. In the end, Bruce insisted on having the bone marrow transplant.
This time, no one stopped him. Bruce was even more straightforward in transplanting his bone marrow to Lilia.
Soon, the various checkups were completed.
Lilia’s first cycle of chemotherapy had officially begun.
After chemotherapy. Lilia’s complications were severe. She couldn’t eat anything, and her entire body was in pain. She vomited countless times every day, and it was uncomfortable.
Bruce also left all his work and accompanied his daughter with Joanna in the hospital.
For a whole week, neither of them left the hospital.
Bruce had not been to the company for so many days, and the shareholders and partners were in an uproar.

Chapter 452
“What’s going on with Mr. Everett? It’s a few billion–dollar’s business. He can put it down just like that.”
“That’s right. The total investment of Green Bay is more than a billion–dollar. How can he drop such a big business just like
that?”
“This is too willful. If anything goes wrong with this project, we’re all gone.”
“I heard that Mr. Everett’s daughter is sick. She’s very sick. Mr. Everett is accompanying her daughter in the hospital every day.”
When the other shareholder heard this, he complained even more unhappily, “Not to mention that his daughter is sick, even if his mother is sick, he can’t leave the business alone. The Green Bay project is at a critical moment now. How can he let his guard down?”
“Haha. He’s a loving father. What can we do?”
The shareholders and partners were full of grievances and resentment.
As for Roxanne, she was also looking for evidence of Bruce’s crime.
Sherane Bay Villa.
Since Bruce and Joanna were not at home, Roxanne had easier access.
On this day, she sneaked into Bruce’s study again.
After another search, Roxanne found a stack of transfer records and receipts for various luxury goods under his desk.
These documents all showed that they were traded overseas. They should be the evidence that he had bribed someone
overseas.
“That’s great. With this document and the previous evidence, Bruce will be jailed.”
“Bruce, just wait. I’ll send you to prison myself.”
Roxanne quickly kept the receipts and hurriedly left the Sherane Bay Villa.
Of course, she couldn’t take down Bruce alone. However, she had support from Bruce’s archenemy, the Yanice Group.
The Yanice Group had always been the Everett Group’s biggest competitor. Unfortunately, they had always been suppressed by the Everett Group.
In business, there was no way to suppress Bruce. They could only play dirty tricks behind his back to drag Bruce down.
The evidence in Roxanne’s hands, as well as the evidence collected by the croup, were handed over to the
Independent Commission Against Corruption.
Soon, the Independent Commission Against Corruption applied for an investigation order.
At the hospital.
In the ward, Bruce was accompanying Joanna and Lilia.
Suddenly, a large group of police officers barged into the ward.
“Hello, we’re from the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Someone reported the Everett Group for illegal financing and bribery. We need you to come with us to be investigated!”
Bruce frowned. “I want to call my lawyer over.”
“You can hire a lawyer, but you must go to the public office with us now. This is an investigation order!” a police officer said and handed an investigation order to Bruce.
“Bruce…” Joanna was instantly shocked.
“It’s alright. Don’t worry!” Bruce comforted Joanna before leaving with the people from the Independent Commission Against Corruption.
As soon as Bruce was taken away, the news was released.
“The Everett Group president was taken away by the Independent Commission Against Corruption. Bruce is suspected of money laundering and illegal financing!”
“Someone reported Bruce for money laundering and bribery.”
In less than three hours, the matter of Bruce being investigated had already become a trending topic.
I was clear that someone was adding fuel to the fire.
Independent Commission Against Corruption.
“Someone reported you for illegal financing and money laundering!”
