The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 327

Bruce could not hold back his tears anymore.

Sometimes, death came all of a sudden.

In the face of it, people didn’t care about the things they used to care about very much. If he could turn back time,

Bruce would definitely cherish Joanna’s love for him, and would not allow their relationship to end up like this.

“Joanna, do you know how much I love you? I admit that I’m not a good man.

“I’m a jerk. I’ve done a lot of things that hurt you. I know I deserve to die and that many people want me to die.

“I’m really willing to die if you can wake up. But why have you never believed me? Why don’t you believe that I love

you?”

Joanna had never believed that Bruce would really love her.

Therefore, no matter what he did, she refused to accept his love. She also refused to open her heart to him and let

him enter her world again.

Joanna lay on the sickbed without moving. There was a deep wound on the back of her head from the glass shards,

and her head was wrapped in a thick layer of gauze.

After Bruce stayed in the intensive care unit for 10 minutes, the doctor came in.

“Mr. Everett, the patient needs a quiet environment. You’d better not be here for too long.

“Got it. Bruce took a deep breath and struggled to calm himself down before he left the intensive care unit with a

gloomy

face.

When Jaydon saw him come out, a murderous look flashed across his eyes.

“Bruce is so annoying. He must have been sent by God to punish me!” he thought angrily.

No matter how outstanding Jaydon was, Bruce could always find a way to suppress him. Jaydon hated this man, but

he just did not know how to deal with him.

Overwhelmed by jealousy and frustration, he was not in the mood to keep his gentlemanly demeanor.

Seeing Bruce walk out of the ward, Andy immediately handed the phone to him. “Mr. Everett, it’s the butler!”

When Bruce heard this, he immediately took the phone. “Hello!”

On the other end of the line, the butler Gael said in a deep voice, “Mr. Everett, Lilia was very worried about you and

had been asking me to call you. So, I could only make a phone call.”

“Give the phone to Lilia.”

“Okay” Gael immediately handed the phone to Lilia.

Lilia took the phone and said in a sweet voice, “Dad, you’ve been out for a long time. Why don’t you come back?”

Bruce paused, not knowing how to comfort his daughter. “Well, Dad is busy.”

Lilia said aggrievedly, “Dad, are you on a business trip? When are you coming back? I miss you so much!”

“I have something to deal with and can’t go home for the time being.”

“Hmph! Dad, you must have gone to see that beautiful lady again! You don’t want me anymore.”

“You silly girl. How could not want you? Dad loves you the most.”

Indeed, compared to the two naughty boys, Bruce loved his daughter the most.

“Dad, why didn’t Mom come to see us or call us?”

In the past, although Joanna could not go to see the children every week, she would call them every day no matter

how busy she was.

She had not called the children for four days since the accident.

When Bruce heard this, tears sprang to his eyes again. “Lilia, be good at home.

“Dad will go home tonight to accompany you.”

“Qkay!”

“Gotta hang up.

“Okay. Bye. Dad.” After saying that, Lilia kissed the phone.

Bruce’s heart ached even more. He had left the children at home for four days and never called them during this

period. No matter what, he would go back and accompany them today.

Chapter 327

Davian and Irvin returned from kindergarten at 3:00 p.m.

The two kids entered the room with sullen faces as if they had something on their minds.

Lilia was sitting in a special automatic wheelchair. She pressed the button on the remote to make the wheelchair

quickly move toward her brothers. “Davian, Irvin, you guys are back!”

“Yup!”

Seeing them in low spirits, Lilia asked with concern, “You don’t look happy. What happened?”

Davian didn’t answer. He had a solemn look on his chubby face, looking quite cool.

Irvin said worriedly, “We heard bad news in kindergarten today!”

“Bad news?”

“I heard that there was an explosion in Greenwick Residential Complex, and someone was seriously injured. The

person who was injured seems to be the Haynes Group’s chairman.”

Lilia covered her mouth in shock when she heard the terrible news. “The Haynes Group’s chairman? Isn’t that

Mom?

“Mom has never called us in the past four days. Could the person who was injured in the explosion really be her?”

Davian frowned and shook his head. “I don’t know.”

“Hurry up and call Mom!”

“I tried, but no one answered. I can’t get through to Miranda and Miss Kelly either.”

“What should we do then?

“Why don’t we call Dad to ask about it?”

When Irvin heard that, he shook his head vigorously. “Well, I don’t dare to call him. Dad has an explosive temper. If I

said something wrong, he would definitely lash out at me.”

“Dad said he would be back tonight. We’ll ask him when he’s back.”

Bruce came back exhausted at 6:00 p.m. He had not been home for three days.

If his daughter hadn’t called him today, he would be waiting at the hospital at this point.

In the living room, the three kids were waiting for him on the sofa side by side.

“Dad, you’re back!”

“Yes!” Bruce replied in a muffled voice. His gloomy face made him look sad and weary.

The kids all looked at him solemnly. “Dad…”

Bruce took off his coat and handed it to the servant. When he saw the children’s strange expressions, he could not

help but ask, “What’s wrong? Why do you look so upset?”

Davian immediately said, “Dad, I heard that something happened to Mom. Is that true?”

Bruce’s face darkened. “Who told you that?”

After the accident, he reminded the butler not to tell the children about what happened to Joanna.

Therefore, no one dared to talk about this in front of the children.

Davian and Irvin had only found out that something might have happened to their mother when they heard their

classmates talk about it in kindergarten.

Davian asked anxiously, “Dad, is that true?”

Lilia and Irvin also looked at Bruce worriedly.

Bruce hesitated for a few seconds before he answered, “Yes, something happened. But don’t worry, it’s not serious

and your mom will be fine soon.”

“Dad, you’re lying!” Davian shouted like an angry cat.

“There was an explosion in Greenwick Residential Complex. Something terrible happened to Mom. Why are you

trying to hide it from us? How is Mom now? We want to go to the hospital to see her!” Davian began to cry as he

spoke.

“Baby!” Bruce felt a twinge in his heart.

“Dad, please take us to the hospital. We want to see Mom.” Irvin also cried.

Bruce’s eyebrows furrowed even tighter. He said, still trying to hide the truth from the kids, “Your mom is fine. Her

injury is

not serious.

Chapter 327

“I promise I will take you to see her when she gets better.”

Davian pleaded with him between sobs, “No! Dad, I’m begging you. Take us to see Mom now.

“Mom is injured. She definitely needs us. She will recover faster if she has us around. We must go to the hospital to

accompany her.

“Dad, if you don’t agree, I’ll take a taxi to the hospital!”

With that. Davian walked out in a huff.

“Come back!” Bruce grabbed Davian by the collar and lifted him up.

Davian’s personality was the most similar to his. He struggled with all his might like an unruly little lion, trying to

break free from his father’s grip.

Bruce was in a bad mood. Seeing that Davian was making a scene, he grew even angrier.

He immediately held Davian down and slapped him on the butt. “How dare you!”

“Let go of me! I’m going to see Mom! You baddie! I hate you!”

When Bruce heard this, he was so angry that he almost coughed up a mouthful of blood. He slapped the kid twice

again.

This father and son were both extremely stubborn.

Bruce wouldn’t stop slapping his son until he cried, while Davian struggled to hold back his tears no matter how

hard his father spanked him.

Davian was unconvinced and shouted even louder after being spanked.

But someone as domineering as Bruce wouldn’t give in to a child.

He raised his hand and spanked Davian twice more.
