Chapter 462

Zachary seethed with anger after Bruce's departure.

It took him much effort to finally convince Bruce out, but he couldn't extract any information from him.

At Roxanne's residence, the atmosphere was sultry as she lay on the bed, having already taken a shower and dressed in seductive sleepwear, eagerly awaiting Zachary's return.

"Darling, you're finally back," she purred.

"Mmm... Zachary appeared frustrated.

Roxanne wrapped her arm around his neck, offering a seductive kiss. "So, how did it go? Did you manage to get anything.

out of him?"

"Forget it. Bruce is extremely cautious. No matter how hard I tried to lead him, he refused to reveal anything." Zachary replied, annoyance etching his face.

Upon hearing this, Roxanne's pupils contracted momentarily.

She knew that Bruce's defenses were impenetrable, and expecting Zachary to extract information from him was futile.

"Let's just forget it! Bruce is too clever to be outsmarted easily. If our first attempt fails, there will always be a second chance. I don't believe he can stay vigilant forever."

Roxanne sneered coldly. "Hmph, even Homer sometimes nods. I don't think he can stay alert all the time."

"Darling, I believe in you! I'm confident that you can do it! I'll ensure Bruce loses everything and ends up with nothing."

As Zachary listened, a chilling sensation ran down his spine. "Would you do the same to me?" he asked.

"How come? As long as you remain faithful to me, I'll faithfully stand by your side," Roxanne replied, adopting a coquettish expression.

"By the way, I've already spoken to the Vice President of Yanice Group, and he's eager to collaborate with you."

She continued, "Once Yanice Group and Garcia Group join forces, we can surely bring Bruce down from his high pedestal. Then, we can claim a piece of the Everett Group's empire for ourselves." "Don't worry, everything is set up, and we're just waiting for Bruce to fall into our trap," she added, a sinister smile gracing her lips.

Zachary listened, but deep down, something felt amiss.

He and Bruce had grown up together and harbored no grudges.

His actions now were purely driven by envy.

Bruce had always outshone him, excelling in every aspect since their youth. And they had been constantly compared to

each other.

He had lived his life in the shadow of the shining Bruce." How could he not be jealous?

"Forget about him for now. Let's not spoil this wonderful night..."

It was around 10:30 PM, at the children's hospital.

Bruce didn't go home but went straight to the hospital.

The door of the ward creaked open, disturbing Joanna, who was about to sleep on the accompanying bed.

"You're back?"

"Mmm"

"How did it go? What did the doctor say?" she inquired.

"Zachary gave me a business card and said he discussed Lilia's condition with the doctor. I will call the doctor tomorrow and see if he has any better suggestions," Bruce replied, handing Joanna the doctor's business card.

"Miles?" Joanna looked at the card and furrowed her brows.

Having spent several years in Melta, she had obtained some knowledge of it, but she had never heard of this doctored named Miles before.

"Is he reliable? I've never heard of him," she wondered.

Bruce furrowed his brow. "Zachary recommended him, so he should be trustworthy. I'll call tomorrow and verify his expertise. If he truly possesses exceptional medical skills, we will invite him to Greyport and seek his assistance for Lilia. Il he's just a quack, then forget it."

Joanna didn't probe further and simply replied, "Okay, that will do."

"It's late. You should get some rest."

"I'll stay here with you!" Bruce said, taking off his coat and preparing to squeeze onto the accompanying bed with her.

Though they were in a hospital, they occupied a VIP ward, so the accompanying bed was spacious enough for two people to sleep comfortably.

"Let go of your hand. Don't be silly! What if Lilia wakes up?" Joanna said, gently pushing away his hand to haft his fidgeting.

"I just want to hold you like this, nothing more," Bruce whispered.

"You think I'll believe you? You always say that. But it's always a lie, "Joanna retorted.

"No, really, I'm tired too! Let's just sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow," Bruce said, tightly embracing Joanna.

The two of them had just done it last night, so Bruce didn't do anything that night.

After lying down for a while, he soon drifted into a deep sleep.

However, Joanna couldn't sleep. Whenever she lay beside him, her heart inexplicably became restless.

In the middle of the night, Lilia groggily woke up. "Mommy, I want some water!"

"Oh, I'm coming!" Joanna quickly got up to fetch water for her daughter.

Although there were numerous nurses available to assist, Joanna insisted on personally taking care of her daughter most of

the time.

Joanna handed Lilia some water. "Do you want more?"

"Mmm, I'm done!" Lilia replied.

"Then go back to sleep quickly!" Joanna gently rubbed her daughter's head.

"Mommy, I can't sleep! I had a scary dream just now. I dreamt that I went to heaven!"

"Mommy, isn't heaven very far away? If I goes to heaven, will I be able to see daddy and mommy again?" Lilia blinked her innocent eyes, looking at Joanna. Joanna's heart ached. "Silly child, you're still so young! It's still too early for you to go to heaven."
