Chapter 453
Chapter 453
Those who lived in the most competitive places could only make themselves stronger. If they took a step back, they would have no foothold.
Looking at the faint fatigue hidden in Bruce’s eyes, Joanna’s heart suddenly softened. “Bruce, I don’t want anything to happen to you…”
When Bruce heard this, his eyes lit up. “Why? Don’t want to part with me?”
Joanna frowned. “How could you still be in the mood to joke at such a critical moment?”
“I’m not joking! Since things have come to this point, what else can I do? I’ll deal with whatever comes my way!” Bruce curled his lips and smiled.
“Then… Is there anything I can do for you?” Joanna was a little afraid that something would happen to Bruce.
A person in a high position was liable to be targeted.
Bruce was already the richest man in Greyport at such a young age. Behind his back, there were many people who envied him and were jealous of him. There were countless people who wanted to knock him down.
“Yes, it would be best if you could make me a bowl of spaghetti.”
When Joanna heard this, she hurriedly nodded. “Alright, wait for me. I’ll cook it immediately.”
“Honey, I love you!” Bruce’s lips curled into a smile, his eyes filled with love.
Joanna was stunned. She did not darken her face this time but went straight into the kitchen.
Cooking spaghetti was very simple and it could be done in less than 15 minutes.
While cooking the spaghetti, Joanna was distracted from time to time. Even though she hated Bruce, he was still the father of the children. She really didn’t want anything to happen to him.
Soon, a bowl of steaming hot spaghetti was ready.
Joanna walked out with the spaghetti. “It’s ready. Enjoy!”
Bruce was sitting on a chair in the dining room staring blankly. He knitted his brows as if he was thinking about something.
“The spaghetti is ready!” Joanna repeated softly.
“Oh, okay!” Bruce raised his eyebrows and put on a relaxed expression.
Then, he picked up tableware and began to eat spaghetti with relish: “Mmm, it’s delicious!”
“I really hope I can eat the spaghetti cooked by my wife every day in the future.”
Upon hearing this, Joanna watched him eating spaghetti with a complicated expression.
On second thought, there was actually no need to worry too much! The Everett Group had the strongest legal team. No matter how difficult the lawsuit was, it would not be a big problem.
“Are
you
full? If not, I can cook you more.”
“Yes, I’m full.”
The two of them looked at each other for more than ten seconds. Joanna felt as if a magnet had hit her heart and quickly retracted her gaze.
“Change your clothes and rest. I still have to go to the hospital!”
“I’ll go with you!”
“Mm.”
The two of them didn’t say anything else. They got into the car and rushed to the hospital.
Along the way, the two of them did not talk much. It was just that Bruce’s hand kept holding Joanna’s hand.
Although Bruce was released, he was restricted from leaving the country until the case was investigated.
At the children’s hospital, the two of them entered the ward one after another.
“Baby Lilia, Daddy and Mommy are here to see you.”
On the hospital bed, Lilia had an oxygen tube inserted into her nose. Her little face was so pale that there was no trace of blood.
“Daddy, where have you been for the past two days? Why aren’t you here with me?”
Lilia had already completed the first round of chemotherapy. She was so thin that she was nothing but skin and bones.

Bruce came to the bed and looked at his daughter gently. “Isn’t Daddy here now?”
Lilia blinked weakly and looked at him, saying in a childish voice, “Daddy, can you accompany me every day in the future?”
“Of course!” Bruce reached out and gently caressed his daughter’s pale face.
“Hehe, thank you, Daddy.” Lilia smiled happily.
The attending doctor also walked into the ward. “Mr. Everett, Miss Haynes.”
