The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 654

Chapter 654

One document after another was flipped through.

After reading it, he signed and stamped it. Then, he put it aside and handed it to Andy to mail.

It was four o’clock in the afternoon.

Beep, beep, beep.

Joanna’s phone rang.

In the past hour or so, she did not dare to delay for a minute. She handled more than ten documents in a row.

Now that the phone rang, she realized that she was dizzy. She quickly rubbed her eyes and answered the call.

“Hello…”

The call was from Miranda. She sounded especially anxious. “Joann, please come back to the hospital now.”

Joanna was shocked, thinking that something had happened again. “Miranda, what’s wrong?”

Miranda sighed and said anxiously, “Mr. Everett has woken up. He’s throwing a tantrum and insisting on seeing you.”

When Joanna heard this, she felt a headache. Looking at the pile of documents, her head hurt even more. “Can you coax him first?

“I’ve

got work to do and can’t leave right now. I can probably go back at six in the evening.”

“No, that won’t do! Mr. Everett has been throwing a tantrum. He’s crying and clamoring to see you. We can’t coax him.”

Joanna was at a loss for words. She frowned and did not know what to do.

“You know Mr. Everett’s temper. He’s very stubborn when he throws a tantrum. You can’t even stop him. If you don’t come back soon, he’ll probably tear down the hospital.”

“Alright! I’ll rush back immediately.”

Andy was helping with the documents. When he heard that Joanna was going back, he quickly asked, “Miss Haynes, what should we do with these documents then?

“If we don’t deal with them now, they’ll be overdue. In that way, we’ll have to compensate for violating the contract regulations.”

Joanna sighed. She packed up all the contracts and brought them to the hospital along with the laptop.

She had no choice but to go to the hospital to accompany Bruce. While he was sleeping, Joanna wanted to see if she could find some time to settle her work.

“Okay. Andy didn’t dare to delay and quickly loaded the documents and work laptop.

“Let’s go!”

“Okay,”

Half an hour later, Joanna rushed to the hospital with a big belly.

When she had just reached the door of the ward and was about to enter, she heard heart-wrenching cries coming from inside. It sounded like the crying person had suffered a great grievance.

Crack!

Joanna was shocked. She hurriedly pushed open the door and walked in.

The ward looked as if it had been ransacked. Everything inside was smashed into a mess. Bruce sat on the ground barefooted and wailed.

“Mr. Everett…” Andy wanted to say something but hesitated. He only sighed and did not know what to say.

Bruce cried endlessly. Joanna was also sobbing. She really did not expect such a vile fellow could cry so hard one day.

“Alright, stop crying. I won’t leave you behind again, okay?”

Bruce nestled in her arms and nodded, still sobbing. Tears in his eyes blurred his vision. “Honey, don’t… don’t leave me… I’m… I’m afraid…”

He-struggled to finish his sentence intermittently. Then he hugged Joanna and cried bitterly again.

Subconsciously, he was afraid that Joanna would leave again. Every time she left, she was very determined and would never turn back easily.

During the four years she disappeared, he thought about her every day. He thought about how she could suddenly come back and how she could take the initiative to contact him.

Unfortunately, she did not even once. If she did not have to inherit her grandfather’s inheritance, she would probably never

come back.

Bruce was stubborn outside, but he was actually afraid of losing her inside. However, he refused to admit it, no matter what. On the contrary, Joanna was hard-hearted. Once they separated, she would definitely not bother with him anymore.

“Get up quickly. I’m not leaving. I’ll never leave you again.”

Joanna had been coaxing Bruce gently for a long time before she finally managed to calm Bruce down. When the nurse cleaned his wound, Bruce was still tugging at Joanna’s sleeve tightly and staring at her without blinking. It was as if he was afraid that Joanna would disappear again if he did not keep his eyes on her.

Deep in his heart, he was extremely insecure. However, he had known since he was a child that the strong ruled. Especially after his parents passed away, he knew that no one in this world could be relied on. No one would feel sorry for him anymore. He could only force himself to be strong and become an unbeatable king.
