Chapter 234

Bruce immediately went up to Joanna when he saw she was awaken. He said in a rare gentle voice, "Joanna, you're awake...

Joanna rolled her eyes. The silhouette in front of her eyes gradually became clearer! Only then she saw clearly that the person was Bruce!

"Doctor, please come in!"

The doctor quickly rushed to the ward.

After examining Joanna, the doctor said calmly, "Ms. Haynes is doing fine now that she manages to wake up!"

"You have to be careful this month. Don't make unnecessary moves!"

"Take more nutritious meals and just focus on taking care of the baby!

Bruce asked nervously, "Do you have any additional advice?"

There's nothing else. The patient's mental state isn't that good. She has to maintain a good mood and can't be agitated anymore!"

"Alright, I understand, doctor!"

After giving a few more pieces of advice, the doctor turned around and left!

Bruce held Joanna's hand tightly and looked at her worriedly and nervously. "Joanna, what has happened? How did you fall down the stairs out of a sudden?" Joanna had no memory of the fall. Besides, she had just woken up and did not want to talk!

"Where are we?"

"Where else? Of course, it's the hospital!"

"Why am I in the hospital?" Joanna asked weakly.

She remembered that she was on the second floor and was about to go to the backyard. She could not remember what happened after that!

When Bruce heard that, his head hurt. He said softly, "You fell from the stairs. Don't you remember?"

Joanna tried her best to recall, but unfortunately, she could not remember anything!

However, her hand hurt from Bruce's grip. She subconsciously wanted to pull her hand back!

She also turned her face slightly to the other side of the bed. She did not want to interact too much with Bruce! She could not help but feel frustrated when she saw him! Bruce paused. When he saw how she resisted him coldly, the gentleness on his face instantly disappeared!

The damp woman gave him a headache!

Did she fall on purpose?

She fell down the stairs because she wanted to abort the baby!

Bruce's expression turned uglier after he finished imagining the scenario!

Joanna, what were you trying to do? Look at me!" Bruce turned her face over as he questioned her! Chapter 234

Joanna looked at Bruce in disgust. "I didn't try to do anything! It's what are you trying to do?"

Bruce sneered and raised his eyebrows. "Did you fall on purpose?"

When Joanna heard that, her eyes rolled in surprise. She was even more furious!

Was she crazy to fall down the stairs on purpose?

However, she was very weak now and felt very uncomfortable! She did not want to argue with him!

Seeing that Joanna was silent, Bruce was ascertain that his imagination was true. "Joanna, you're ruthless!"

You put in a lot of effort to abort the child!" After Bruce finished speaking, he looked at Joanna coldly and sinisterly!

Joanna's gaze shifted. She tried to ignore him!

"I don't want to talk to you. Say whatever you want!"

As Joanna turned her head away again. Bruce became angrier. "What do you want me to do, Joanna?"

"Bruce, I'm really tired. I don't want to argue with you!"

"Can you just let me go? Just pretend that we never knew each other!" Joanna said angrily before turning her gaze to Bruce. "It's impossible!" Bruce refused decisively.

"You're rich and powerful. There are a lot of women willing to be with you. Why do you have to force me like this?"

"Joanna, let me tell you. I won't let you go in this lifetime! Don't you even think about getting rid of me in this lifetime!" Joanna took a deep breath and closed her eyes. She did not want to argue with him anymore!

His domineering and stubborn personality was a sign of mental illness!

Bruce broke his silence again after a while. He said in a gentler tone, "Deliver the child! I'll give you your freedom after that!" When Joanna heard this, she could not help but ponder!

If she could get rid of him completely, then she was willing to give birth to the child!

In the blink of an eye, Joanna had been hospitalized for three days.

It was already the 23rd of December!

It was the eve of Christmas Eve, which was also widely celebrated in the region! It was a family reunion day!

There was only Joanna and the servants in the quiet and cold ward!

Without her children by her side, she felt everything was lifeless.

In Sherane Bay Villa!

Roxanne had not seen Bruce for several days in a row. She could not get through to him on the phone either.

Roxanne had to call Andy again to ask about Bruce.

"Hello, Andy. Is Bruce busy with anything these few days?"

Andy replied politely, "No, he's not busy with anything!"

"Tell me the truth!"

"Mr. Everett is working and getting off work as usual. There is nothing else! If you have anything, please call Mr. Everett!" Andy did not dare to reveal Bruce's whereabouts. Roxanne hung up angrily!

She had not seen Bruce for a few consecutive days!

Today, she accidentally spotted Bruce's car when she went to the hospital to collect her prenatal report!

Only then she realized that Bruce had been in the hospital. Roxanne learned that Joanna was hospitalized through her secret observation!

Bruce had been accompanying Joanna every day!

Roxanne was so angry after knowing that!

She looked for Kensley in no time!

"Kensley!"

"What is I'm the matter, Ms. Haynes!"

Roxanne sneered, "Joanna is here, right?"

"Yes!"

Roxanne's face twitched. "I want to ask you for a favor!"

"Please tell me!"

"I want you to replace a way to kill her child!"

When Kensley heard that, he smiled bitterly. "It's impossible. Mr. Everett is watching her every day!"

"You must have a way. I believe in you!"

"Ms. Haynes, we haven't even settled your debt from the last time!"

"Now you ask for my help again. What makes you think I'll help you?"

Roxanne smiled calmly. “It's because we're in the same boat now! If Margaret's incident was exposed, it won't be good for anyone!"

"Now, only by cooperating with me that everyone can have a good life! After I successfully marry into the Everett family, you can get the money for sure!"

When Kensley heard that, he did not say anything. "Let me think about it!"

He was already very afraid after Margaret's incident!

And now, he was asked to kill another person. He did not dare to do it again!

In the ward!

"Joann, have some chicken soup!"

Thank you!"

"Men hired by Mr. Everett are guarding the door. I can only stay for a short while!" Miranda made chicken soup especially for Joanna!

Bruce's bodyguards were watching from outside the ward. Bruce would also come over every day to visit Joanna!

Today, Bruce came to accompany Joanna again.

As soon as he sat down, his phone rang.

Beep, beep, beep!

Bruce took out his phone and saw the call was from an unknown number.

"Hi!"

"Hello, Bruce. I'm Jennie!" Jennie's sweet voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Oh, is this your phone number?"

That's right. I asked my brother for your phone number! I haven't seen you in a long time, so I called you!"

Bruce frowned. "Okay. What is the matter?"

"Um, are you free?"

"What is the matter? Just tell me!"

"It's my brother's birthday next Tuesday. I want to ask you to come over!"

"I don't have time next Tuesday!" Bruce declined directly.

"Bruce, my brother is your best friend. Aren't you coming to celebrate his birthday?"

"I'm sorry. I don't have time!"

Bruce had never attended any birthday parties so Zachary had not invited him!

Jennie wanted to see Bruce, so she could not resist inviting him!

"When will you be free?"

"I'm busy now. Bye!" Bruce hung up the phone after saying that!

What were these women thinking? It was not like he did not know their intentions! Many women fell head over heels for him. However, he did not really like women who were too proactive!

"Mr. Everett, you're a busy man!" Joanna sneered.

"It's just an acquaintance inviting me to a birthday party! You know that I never attend these parties!"

Joanna put on a straight and expressionless face!

"It's almost Christmas. Are you planning to let the children spend Christmas overseas by themselves?"

"..." Bruce was stunned.

"I know you miss the children. I'll bring them back when you feel better!"

"How can I recuperate in such a situation? You know very well that the children are my life!"

"Why are you so cruel? Why did you take the children away from me!" Joanna could not help but cry again!

Bruce was distraught seeing her crying!

"Don't cry! Don't be so agitated!"

"Bruce, I hate you. I really hate you!"

Bruce hugged her gently and stroked her hair to calm her down. "I know you hate me!"

"Joanna. I've told you before. You can stay with me in peace!

"I've been good to you. Why do you have to torture yourself?

"Why can't you get over the resentment of the past? I've told you. There was a mistake between us. Why don't you believe in

me?"

Joanna continued crying in his arms!

It was an exhausting relationship for both of them!

Roxanne was her biological sister. She really could not share a man with her biological sister!

She would rather quit that relationship!

Beep! Beep!

Bruce's phone rang again!

Roxanne called him again. She had already made more than ten calls in a row!
