The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 97

Before Bruce finished talking, Joanna took out a stun baton from her handbag and fiercely poked it toward him.

Bruce reacted quickly. Before the stun baton could touch him, he suddenly grabbed Joanna’s hand and knocked it away.

“Ah!” Joanna was shocked. The stun baton fell to the ground.

Bruce’s expression suddenly changed. The guilt he had just felt toward Joanna instantly turned into anger.

“Joanna, how dare you try to give me a sneak attack again,” Bruce said.

Joanna’s stun baton fell to the ground. She panicked even more and involuntarily retreated.

Bruce was furious. He approached with a sinister expression, taking two steps closer to Joanna.

Joanna’s heart was pounding with fear. She quickly ducked and slipped under Bruce’s arm before he could react.

Then, she gathered all her strength and ran toward the exit of the car park.

She really dared not be alone with Bruce.

She was even more afraid of the pain of not being able to resist but being forced to bear it.

“Joanna, stop right there!” Bruce said.

Joanna said, “Ah, don’t come over…

Joanna panicked like a frightened prey, desperately trying to escape.

Bruce was even more furious and chased after her.

Unfortunately, Joanna was so weak that she could not outrun Bruce.

Just as she ran for about ten steps, she tripped over a barricade on the ground and fell heavily to the ground.

The ground was covered in lime. When she hit it, it was so painful that her brain buzzed and she almost fainted.

“Joanna!” Bruce exclaimed in shock and hurried over to check on her.

Joanna’s arm was scratched. She could not get up after falling to the ground.

Bruce helped her up. His heart ached and he was worried. However, he scolded harshly, “Serves you right! You brought this on yourself!”

Joanna opened her eyes slightly and exhaled weakly. She then closed her eyes and passed out.

“Joanna, Joanna, wake up, Bruce said. “What’s wrong with you?”

Joanna had already lost consciousness. Her body was very soft, as if she had no bones.

Bruce panicked. He quickly stretched out his thumb and pressed the area under her nose.

This was one of the most sensitive areas of the body to pain. When people were unconscious, as long as this area was pressed hard, they would wake up due to the pain.

Unfortunately, Bruce pinched it hard for nearly a minute, but Joanna did not react at all.

Clearly, she had fallen into a deep state of unconsciousness.

Bruce was completely flustered. He hurriedly carried her horizontally.

He drove her to the hospital.

Ten minutes later, Bruce sent Joanna to the hospital. He drove and ran several red lights along the way to get Joanna to the hospital as quickly as possible.

“Doctor, someone fainted,” Bruce said. “Please come quickly!” Bruce rushed into the hospital with Joanna in his arms. His face was filled with panic.

When two nurses heard the shout, they hurriedly went to check.

Another nurse quickly pushed a wheeled stretcher over.

After Bruce placed Joanna on the wheeled stretcher, the nurse hurriedly pushed the wheeled stretcher toward the emergency room.

Bruce worriedly followed and ran as the wheeled stretcher was pushed. “Joanna, you’ll be fine,” he said. “You’ll definitely wake.

up…

“This is the emergency room, the nurse said. “Please wait outside.”

“Okay, please make sure to treat the patient well!” Bruce said.

“Don’t worry!” the nurse said.

Bruce took a deep breath. He had no choice but to wait outside the emergency room.

“Sir, please come here and pay the registration fee…”

Due to the critical situation, Bruce did not go to his own hospital. Instead, he went to the nearest hospital nearby.

Bruce said. “Oh. Okay.

“How much is the registration fee?”

The person behind the counter did not even look up. She said in a cold tone, “2 dollars for registration, 20 dollars for emergency treatment, and please prepay 200 dollars for medical expenses…”

This was a private hospital, and the fees were not standardized.

However, the situation was critical. Bruce had no choice but to send Joanna here first, fearing any delay in treatment.

Bruce reached into his pocket and realized that he did not bring any money. His phone was also left in the car.

He did not usually carry money when he went out. He had assistants to take care of everything in his daily life.

“Oh, I forgot my wallet!” Bruce said.

The cashier pursed her lips and said, “How can you come to the hospital without your wallet?

“Without prepaying the medical expenses, we cannot process the admission procedures. Please go back and bring the money first.”

Upon hearing this, Bruce became extremely angry.

Then, he threw the Lamborghini car key into the counter.

“Let’s first handle the admission procedure for the patient,” Bruce said. “I will have my assistant bring the medical fees later.”

Only then did the cashier look up and see a handsome and distinguished face through the window.

07:21

Immediately, the cashier was stunned. The cashier next to her muttered softly, “Oh my god, is this guy Mr. Everett?”

“I think so! Oh my god, why did Mr. Everett come to our hospital?”

Half an hour later, the door of the emergency room was opened.

The doctor and nurse walked out of the emergency room.

Bruce hurriedly approached the doctor. “Doc, how’s the patient?” he asked.

The doctor did not even raise his head. “The patient’s injuries aren’t that serious,” the doctor said. “They’ve already been. treated. She’ll recover after resting for a few days.

You have to be more careful when it comes to making love in future. Young people should not be reckless.”

When Bruce heard this, a trace of embarrassment appeared on his face.

“Also, the patient has severe hypoglycemia,” the doctor continued. “On top of that, she’s malnourished and she has anemia. She needs proper treatment and care.

“Otherwise, it will be very troublesome in the future!”

When Bruce heard this, he repeated in disbelief. “Hypoglycemia?” he said. “Malnourished?”

The doctor replied nonchalantly, “Yes”

“Alright,” Bruce said. “Got it.”

“Um, does the patient have depression?” the doctor asked.

Bruce said, “Depression!” Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.

“Impossible!” Bruce replied involuntarily. “There’s no way she has depression…”

“How could Joanna, with her strong and outspoken personality, possibly have depression? Bruce thought.

“Regardless, the patient is very weak right now and needs proper care and treatment, the doctor said.

“Got it!” Bruce said.

Bruce then entered the ward immediately.

Joanna was still unconscious with an IV drip attached to her wrist. There were several bottles of glucose hanging on the pole beside her.

Bruce quietly stared at Joanna.

She looks so delicate and frail, but…

“Joann, I’m sorry!” Bruce said weakly as he held Joanna’s hand.

After watching over Joanna for a while, Bruce suddenly remembered that she loved the dessert from Honeymoon Dessert in the past.

She had hypoglycemia now. It would be best for her to eat some dessert when she woke up later.

Initially, Bruce wanted to call his assistant and ask him to buy it.

But come to think of it, there was a Honeymoon Dessert shop nearby. He could drive there and it would not take more than five minutes. A round trip would take twenty minutes.

Thinking of this, Bruce left the ward and went to buy the dessert himself.

Twenty minutes later, Bruce rushed back with the dessert he had bought.

This was the first time he had personally gone to buy food for someone.

Unfortunately, when he returned to the ward, it was already empty.

The IV drip was still hanging on the pole and had not finished yet.

“Where’s the patient?”

“Isn’t she in the ward?”

“Oh my, when has the patient gone out?”

Joanna had already woken up earlier. She just did not want to face Bruce.

While Bruce was out buying the dessert, she took the opportunity to leave the hospital.
