The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 588

 

Chapter 588 

Bruce Everett immediately contacted the media after making up his mind. 

The media went into another frenzy on the following day. 

“Mommy ran away from home. Bruce Everett’s daughter is critically ill.” 

*Bruce Everett’s youngest daughter rushed to hospital, suspected of leukemia relapse.” 

The media reports included photos of Bruce Everett sending Lilia Haynes to the hospital. 

Davian and Haynes also recorded a video and posted it online. 

In the video, the two little boys cried and said pitifully to the camera, “Mommy, where are you? Come back quickly. Lilia is sick and needs you badly. 

“We miss you so much, Mommy. If you don’t come home soon, Lilia may be unable to hold on.” 

The camera switched to Bruce Everett immediately afterward. “Joann, where are you? Come back quickly. Lilia had a relapse. The doctor advised for a third bone marrow transplant,” he said, eyes welling up. 

“If you don’t come home soon, I’m afraid it’ll be too late!” 

Bruce paused before continuing. Joann, even if you don’t come home, please let me know you’re safe. The children and 1 are very worried. Davian and Irvin haven’t gone to school for a few days. 

*I know I’m a control freak and have made you feel suffocated. I hope the people of Greyport can witness my vow to you; I promise to turn over a new leaf. I also apologize to you for hurting you. Please forgive me!” 

Bruce had utterly let go of his pride and spoke sincerely in front of the media. 

Meanwhile, under the overpass. 

Joanna Haynes slept through the night on the ground, her whole body ached terribly. 

She did not have a cell phone. Therefore, she could not access any news on the Internet. 

Joanna had just awakened. She put away the cardboard pieces and was about to go out and buy food when she suddenly. heard laughter next to her. 

She turned around and saw a homeless man beside her as he scrolled through his cell phone with relish. 

“Haha! Bruce Everett is such a lunatic! He’s a rich man who can get his hands on any woman he fancies. 

“Why did he put aside his pride to look for his ex-wife in such extravagance? Tsk, tsk, if I were as rich as him, I would have a different woman every day. I wouldn’t be so devoted to just one.” 

Another homeless man immediately chimed in, ‘Tis ex-wife is also a lunatic. She abandoned the three children and disappeared without a trace.” 

“Her daughter is in the hospital, yet she doesn’t care for the kid’s wellbeing!” 

Joanna’s heart sank when she overheard the two men gossiping away. 

“Excuse me, sir. May I borrow your cell phone?” 

The two vagrants glanced at her casually while staring at the phone. “No way. My phone is running out of battery. I have to charge it at the convenience store soon! 

“Moreover, what kind of a person doesn’t have a phone nowadays? Why did you ask to borrow mine?” 

Joanna feared Bruce would trace her cell phone’s location. Therefore, she left it behind. 

Joanna would have to register with her real name if she were to apply for a new SIM card. 

“Sir, I’ll buy your cell phone instead” Joanna took a wallet from the canvas bag and retrieved 200 dollars. 

pay 

for your phone. You can use the money to buy a new one,” Joanna said and handed the money to the homeless man. 

The homeless man looked surprised and became speechless. He stared at Joanna skeptically. 

He thought it strange that Joanna offered 1.000 dollars to buy his old cell phone. She could have bought a brand new one with that amount. The homeless man was puzzled. 

Moreover, someone who casually forked out 1,000 dollars could easily stay anywhere she desired. Why did she sleep under the overpass? 

Joanna put the money beside the homeless man and anxiously snatched the old phone from his hand. 

 

She quickly scrolled through the online platforms. 

News about Bruce Everett looking for her abound. There were also videos of Lilia Haynes in the hospital. 

“Is my darling Lilia sick again?” Joanna muttered worriedly. 

At the same time, she wondered if Bruce deliberately used the kids to play tricks on her. 

He was unscrupulous in achieving what he wanted. He could have taken advantage of Lilia’s illness to force Joanna to show up. In fact, Bruce Everett was capable of anything. 

However, Lilia’s health had always been poor. 

Joanna would undoubtedly go back to care for her daughter If the latter’s illness relapsed, 

Joanna thought long and hard. 

Yet she still felt uneasy. 

After much hesitation, she could not help but call Bruce. 

Beep, beep, beep. 

Bruce’s cell phone rang. 

He quickly picked it up and took a look. It was an unknown number. 

Bruce held his breath and answered the call “Hello, who is this?” 

Joanna felt a lump in her throat and subconsciously tightened her grip on her phone. 

“Say something. Who is it?” 

Joanna became inexplicably nervous and terrified when she heard Bruce’s voice. She felt her throat stuffed with cotton wool and could not utter anything. 

Bruce frowned and guessed the other party was Joanna Haynes. 

“Hello, is it Joann?” 

“Joann, where are you now?” Bruce suppressed his mixed emotions and spoke in a calm and gentle tone. 

At the same time, he immediately turned on the speaker and wrote down the phone number. 

Then, he waved at the butler beside him and signaled him with his eyes to quickly check the phone’s current location. 

The butler understood, immediately took the phone number, and activated the GPS tracking. 

Bruce heaved a sigh of relief and tried to calm Joanna down. “Joann, why aren’t you talking? Do you know that the children and I are worried about you?” 

“Lilia is sick. Please come back quickly!” 

Joanna took a deep breath. “Bruce Everett, is Lilia really sick?”
