The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 751

However, even though she was exceptionally obedient and docile, she was still not accepted by this family.

Ingrid regarded her as a thorn in her side and made things difficult for her.

People often said that as long as there was a stepmother, there would be a stepfather.

In addition, Joanna hadn’t been with Shaun since he was young, so her father did not have much parental affection

for Joanna.

So, at the age of 13, she was sent to boarding school and only was carried back home on holidays.

“Mommy… I miss you…” Joanna fell into a dream of being protected by her mother, unwilling to wake up.

Bruce felt extremely upset, he held her hand and could not stop crying. “Joann, I’m so sorry. I’ve let you down!

“I really didn’t know you would be so hurt. If I had known this would happen, I would never have gone to see her!”

“Joann, Joann… Boohoo…”

Looking at Joanna, who was on the verge of death and covered in wounds, his heart ached so much that he almost

could not breathe. His large hands kept stroking her hair, wishing he could hold her in his hands like a treasure to

comfort her pain.

Thinking about the damage he had done to her, he felt even more regretful.

He clearly wanted to make it up to her and love her more.

However, it was as if he had been possessed and hurt her all over again and again.

“Joann, I’m really sorry. I really, really deserve to die. I shouldn’t have let you be so hurt. And I shouldn’t be so close

to another woman…”

Bruce cried as he spoke. His eyes were swollen like walnuts, and he wished he could kill himself to atone for his sins.

The girl he loved the most had been tortured to this state by him.

Even though she had just given birth and was supposed to be at her fattest, she was pitifully thin. She was lying on

the hospital bed like a small ball. She was as weak as dew on a leaf and a breath could crush her into pieces.

But she used to be happy, healthy, and energetic.

In just a few years, she had become like this. She was like a completely different person from before.

As time flies, more than ten hours passed.

Joanna had been running a high fever and was in a coma.

“Mommy, please don’t go, please don’t go…” Joanna was still trapped in the dream..

This dream lasted for a long time. It was so warm and safe that she did not want to wake up no matter what.

In the dream, her mother had made her her favorite dumplings and combed her cute ponytail.

In the end, her mother looked at her kindly and said reluctantly, “Joann, it’s time for Mommy to leave. You must

take good care of yourself.”

As she spoke, she gently rubbed her head.

“Mommy, I want to go with you. Where are you going? Don’t leave me behind…” Joanna reached out weakly and

tried her best to grab her.

“Joann, you can’t go where Mommy is going.

“Love yourself well. Mommy won’t be by your side, so you have to take good care of yourself. Mommy really should

go…”

Her mother’s voice became fainter and fainter, and her appearance became more and more blurry. Gradually, she

disappeared, and everything in front of her became blank.

“Mommy… Mommy…”

Joanna ran around looking for her. As she ran, she missed a step.

“Ah…” Joanna was shocked and suddenly woke up from her dream.

“Joann! You’re finally awake!” Bruce had been guarding the bed.

His eyes were as red as blood, and his eye sockets were swollen.

Joanna coughed weakly. Her breathing was as dry as if she was being roasted by a fire.

“…Mommy, water… water… where am I…”

When Bruce heard this, he hurriedly staggered to get up and pour a cup of warm water.

“Joann, here.”

“Where am I? Where’s Mommy? Mommy!”

Bruce was stunned. “Joann, we’re in the hospital!”

As he spoke, he carefully placed the cup in front of her mouth.

Joanna took almost three minutes to recover.

Only then did she gradually come back to her sense, and she saw that the person in front of her was Bruce.

She instantly became agitated again and struggled while coughing and panting. “Bruce… Fuck off..”

Bruce was stunned. His voice was hoarse as he begged, “Joann, don’t be so agitated. You’re seriously injured now.

Don’t be too agitated, lest your wound opens again!”

Joanna took a deep breath. Her chest was in so much pain that it seemed like it was about to split open. Her voice

was weak and filled with hatred. “Fuck off… I don’t want to see you…”

”

As she spoke, Joanna struggled to sit up and became even more anxious.

“Joann, please, don’t move!” Bruce was anxious and wanted to hold her hand down to prevent her from moving.

But she was now like a glass that had been glued together.

A light touch would instantly turn her into a pile of broken pieces.

He didn’t dare to anger her, and he was even more afraid that she would do something to hurt herself again.

“Joann, please. Give me a minute to explain.”

As Bruce spoke, his knees went weak. He knelt heavily at the head of the bed and looked at Joanna helplessly and

painfully with his scarlet eyes.

“Just give me a minute. After listening to me, I’ll go out immediately and disappear from your sight.”

Joanna did not want to listen to his apology anymore. Her eyes were filled with despair.

She didn’t want to see him at all now.

Even just looking at him made her heart ache so much that she couldn’t breathe.

This man was a demon!

A devil!

He was the King of Hell!

She shouldn’t have loved him, let alone been deceived by him, and she shouldn’t have believed his nonsense again

and again.

“Joann, Aria had brain cancer. I was sending her to the hospital.

“I only went to see her to send her off. I definitely don’t have any romantic feelings for her. If I lie to you, I’ll die a

horrible death…

“Aria really had brain cancer. I only saw her for the last time out of sympathy. I was afraid that you would be angry,

so I didn’t dare to tell you.

“That photo in the media was when I sent her to the hospital. Joann, haven’t you always been the softest and

kindest? Haven’t you always hoped that I would be a good person?

“I was really just sympathizing with her. I definitely didn’t have any other thoughts. I have no relationship with her at

all. If I lie to you, I’ll die immediately.”

“Fuck… off…” Joanna was unwilling to listen to him at all.

So what if what he said was true?

She didn’t know Aria, nor did she have any relationship with her. There was no need for her to sympathize with her,

let alone be magnanimous enough to allow her husband to pity another woman.

He could sympathize with Aria.

He could spend money to treat her illness and find the best doctor for her.

However, he could have left it to his subordinates to do it instead of rushing to be the escort himself like a

bootlicker.

So Joanna could not forgive him.

She would rather die than get back together with him.

Clang! Clang! Joanna knocked down the IV stand.

“Fuck off… I don’t want to see you ever again!” Joanna shouted at the top of her lungs as she struggled to sit up.

However, she failed and lay back down weakly and helplessly.

The pain all over her body made her gasp.

She no longer had the strength to struggle.

She also forcefully pulled out the syringe on her wrist. Because she did not press the needle hole in time to stop the

bleeding, blood kept flowing out like dark red beads.

Seeing this, Bruce’s scalp went numb. He hurriedly went forward to press the needle mark to stop the bleeding.

“Joann, please calm down!

“Don’t hurt yourself anymore. After you recover, you can hit me, punish me, and even kill me. I beg you not to hurt

yourself now!”

“Bruce, fuck off!” Joanna roared weakly, trembling on the verge of collapse.

“Alright, alright, alright. I’ll go. I’ll go now. Don’t be so agitated…”

Joanna was too agitated. He did not dare to stay any longer in case he agitated her.

Then he left the ward.

Bruce quickly went to look for a doctor.

“Doctor, doctor, she’s awake. Come quickly.”

Two minutes later.

The doctor and nurse rushed to the ward.

Joanna had already rolled from the hospital bed to the ground, squirming helplessly.

“Hurry up and inject another tranquilizer into the patient.”

“Don’t… Don’t…”

With the injection of the potion, Joanna fell asleep again.

“Mr. Everett, the patient is very agitated now. You need to find a psychiatrist to counsel her immediately. If this

continues, no treatment will work.”

When Bruce heard this, he fell onto the stool dejectedly. His mind was blank.

How did it end up like this?

It had not been easy for him and Joanna to get this far.

It was all over now.

Going to the hotel to see Aria was the stupidest and most regretful thing he had ever done
