The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 162

Chapter 162 

Suddenly, Margaret seemed to have thought of something. Her expression froze as she said, “By the way…” 

“Bruce, are you going to donate your bone marrow to her daughter?” 

“Yes!” Bruce nodded subconsciously. 

“I already know about the child’s health condition.” 

“And then?” Bruce asked in confusion. 

Margaret breathed a sigh of relief as she said earnestly, “I do not recommend you donate your bone marrow to her!” 

Bruce was stunned and speechless. He looked at Margaret with disbelief. 

Margaret took a deep breath slowly and said, “Donating bone marrow is harmful to the human body. I am worried that it will cause damage to your body!” 

“No, it won’t. Donating bone marrow is not harmful to the human body…” 

Margaret stared at Bruce and said in doubt, “Who said so?” 

“Those who said that it is not harmful to the human body are lying. They are afraid that no one is willing to donate the bone marrow if they knew about 

1. it. 

“Furthermore, I already know about the child’s health condition! Not only that she is suffering from leukemia, but also thalassemia and heart disease! 

“There may be various sequelae in the future too. Even if her leukemia is cured, she would still be disabled for life!” 

Margaret sighed deeply as she spoke. “She might not be fully recovered even after you donate your bone marrow to her! 

“I have already sought advice from the specialist. After the specialist analyze her case, they suggest that it would be better for her to give up on her 

treatment!” 

Bruce drew his lips together as he frowned and said, “Grandma, how could say so? She is my biological daughter, my flesh and blood! How could I not save her and see her die before me?” 

“Bruce, she is the Everett family’s flesh and blood too. How could I bear to see her suffer? I want her to be healthy again too. 

“However, from a rational point of view, her treatment is insignificant. She would only suffer more if she lives! 

“The specialist has said that even if her leukemia is cured, she might need to perform heart transplant surgery in the future. 

“Based on her condition, she might not even be able to live till she is seven. Therefore, even if you donate your bone marrow to her, she might only live 

for another two to three years at the most! 

“So, do you think it is meaningful for you to do so now?” Margaret’s face turned serious after she finished her words. 

She would rather give up a sickly person! 

Even though Margaret was not a person who favored boys over girls, she was worried that this sickly person would drag her grandson down! 

Lilia was suffering from so many kinds of illnesses. Today, she might need someone to donate bone marrow. However, she might need someone to donate a heart for her in the future! 

Joanna’s blood type was not a match with Lilia’s blood type so as the rest of them. Only Bruce’s blood type was a match with Lilia’s blood type. 

Margaret was afraid that it would be a neverending story for her grandson in the future. 

Although Margaret did not bear to see her great granddaughter suffer, she could not bear to see her grandson suffer even more! 

Bruce’s face darkened as he stood up and said, “Grandma, I am going to save my daughter no matter what! 

“I have not fulfilled my duty as a father ever since she was born. Therefore, I can’t give up on her today. Even if the surgery is not successful, I will still give my best shot.” 

“Bruce, if she could jump around and be healthy again, I will definitely not going to stop you from donating your bone marrow. 

“But, look at her situation now. It is indeed pointless for you to do so. Furthermore, it will be harmful to your body too! 

“Now that you need to donate your bone marrow. In the future, you might also need to donate your white blood cell or even other organs! 

“I will be worried…” Margaret was trying her best to stop her grandson. 

“Stop it, Grandma! I am not going to give up on Lilia no matter what!” 

Bruce turned around and walked away as soon as he finished his words. 

Upon seeing such a scene, Margaret choked herself in anger. “Stop right there! Are you trying to drive me to the grave now?” 

“Grandma…” 

“Ahem!” Margaret was so agitated that her face turned pale instantly. She almost fell off her wheelchair at that moment. 

Bruce was terrified. He came over hurriedly to help her up. “Grandma, are you okay?” asked Bruce. “Get the doctor now! Hurry up!” 

“Mrs. Margaret!” Korbin and the nurses were shocked upon seeing such a scene.. 

One of the nurses took out the oxygen mask hurriedly and prepared to give it to Margaret. 

Margaret held onto Bruce’s hand tightly as she panted heavily and said, “Bruce, promise me that you will not do anything stupid! 

“I know that you are soft–hearted. But, it is not the time to be soft–hearted now! There will be too much trouble in the future! The Everett family is depending on you too…” 

” 

Bruce was so flustered at that moment. He said, “I know, I know. Grandma, please don’t say anything anymore!” 

“Korbin, keep an eye on Bruce. Do not let him donate the bone marrow no matter what!” 

“Yes, Madam!” 

As soon as Margaret finished her words, her head tilted to a side, and fainted! 

“Grandma! Grandma!” 

“Where is the doctor? Call the doctor!” 

Five minutes later. 

The family doctor rushed over hurriedly. 

After the doctor did a thorough checkup for Margaret, his expression turned serious. 

“Mr. Everett, Mrs. Margaret is suffering from heart failure now. I am afraid that she has to be transferred to the hospital overseas for further treatment! We don’t have such medical instruments in our country for the time being!” 

Upon hearing what the doctor said, Bruce said anxiously, “Then we will send Grandma to the hospital overseas for further treatment now!” 

“Yes, Sir!” 

Soon… 

The Everett family deployed their private plane to send Margaret to Melta. 

Margaret was seriously ill now. Of course, Bruce had to tag along with her to take care of her. 

Everything happened so suddenly that Bruce did not have time to inform Joanna about it. 

The next day. 

Bruce did not go to the hospital! 

Joanna waited at the hospital for one whole day. However, Bruce was nowhere in sight. 

On the third day. 

There was still no news of Bruce. 

Two more days and it would be the surgery. Bruce should be staying in the hospital for observation by now. 

But until now, he was still nowhere in sight. It had already been two days since he last visited Lilia. 

On the fourth day. 

Joanna could not take it anymore. She made a call to Bruce immediately. 

Doo! 

“Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later!” 

“Bruce, why are you not answering the call?” 

Joanna did not know what was going on. So, she made a call to Korbin, the butler of the Everett family, hurriedly. 

However, regardless of Bruce or Korbin, both their phones could not get through at all! 

She had no other option now. 

Joanna could only make a call to Andy. 

“Hello, Andy!” 

“Anything that I can help, Miss Haynes?” 

“Where is Bruce?” 

“Oh! Mr. Everett had gone to Melta!” 

“Bruce? Went to Melta? Why is he there?” Joanna’s heart skipped a beat. Somehow, she had a bad feeling about this. 

“Well, Mr. Everett did not say anything about it. He just told us that he had something urgent to attend to. Hence, he had to make a trip to Melta immediately!” 

“When is he coming back?” 

“I am not sure either.” 

Joanna was stunned upon hearing the news. 

Did he bring the kids to Melta on purpose? 

“Bruce! Did you…” 

When Joanna came to think about it, she felt a chill down her spine. Hence, she did not dare to think further about it. 

Could it be that Bruce had brought the children to Melta and totally given up on saving Lilia? 

In the ward. 

Joanna seemed to be a little out of her wits. 

Lilia had not seen Bruce for days. So, she asked curiously, “Mommy, why didn’t Daddy visit me for the past few days?” 

“Lilia, Daddy is…” Joanna hesitated. She did not know how to tell Lilia about it. 

“Is Daddy busy working?”
