The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 44

“That woman sure is long–winded and annoying!”

The truth was, Margaret had nothing but disdain for a woman like Ingrid.

When Raymond was alive, she had been kind and tolerant to the Haynes family, all for Raymond’s

sake.

However, now that Raymond was dead, the Everett family obviously had no relations with Shaun and his wife anymore.

Margaret was merely maintaining a good relationship with them for the sake of Raymond.

However, to Margaret, Ingrid simply had no tact.

An accident had just happened that almost scared her to death, yet Ingrid brought up the subject of marriage at this time.

Ingrid couldn’t have made her intentions clearer.

“How is Joanna?”

“Joanna?” Margaret was stunned.

Bruce frowned, and his lips quivered as he muttered, “She was in the accident with me.”

“But I didn’t see her!”

Hearing that, Bruce struggled to sit up and get out of bed.

Seeing this, Margaret quickly stopped him. “You have to lie down. You’re still on the IV drip! You’ve been hurt so badly. Where do you think you are going?”

“I’m going to see her!”

“Don’t move! Let’s just call the nurse over and ask about her.” With that, Margaret pressed the beeper.

A minute later, a nurse hurried in.

“Mr. Everett, what do you need?”

This hospital was run by the Everett family, so all the doctors and nurses knew Bruce.

“What happened to the lady I came here with?”

“Oh! She has had some stitches and has left the hospital.”

Bruce listened with a frown. “What? She’s out of the hospital?”

“Well, yes! A man has just picked her up!”

Bruce fell silent. His brows scrunched into a frown, and he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart.

Through this accident, he finally realized he seemed to have been in love with the wrong person. RêAd lat𝙚St chapters at Novel(D)ra/ma.Org Only

The girl who rescued him from the pool ten years ago was Joanna, not Roxanne.

He had been mistaken all these years.

“Bru, don’t worry! There’s probably no major problem with her, and that must be why she was discharged from the hospital. By the way, didn’t I ask you to have her bring her two kids over to see me? How come there’s been no news about that for so many days?”

“She wouldn’t!”

The moment Margaret heard that her eyes narrowed as she froze, “She wouldn’t?”

“Yes”

This girl has got a real temper, hasn’t she? She reminds me of myself back in the day!”

The truth was, if those kids were real flesh and blood of the Everett family, it would be as if a gift had fallen from heaven and into Joanna’s lap!

In fact, even if they were not flesh and blood of the Everett family, she would still have nothing to lose if she went to visit Margaret.

“Grandma, I’m so confused right now. I want to be alone to sort out my thoughts!”

“Oh, all right! Stay in bed and have a good rest, then!”

“Sure, I will.”

With that, Margaret sighed and left the room.

After Margaret left, Bruce lay in bed, quietly reflecting on everything that had happened in the past.

years.

He mentally sorted out all the events that had happened.

Initially, he had a good impression of Joanna.

It was Roxanne who kept telling him that Joanna was a withdrawn and scheming woman.

Over time, he really began to think that it was true.

Outside the ward, seeing that Margaret had come out, Roxanne and Ingrid immediately rushed over to her, greeting her in unison, “Old Mrs. Everett!”

Margaret frowned slightly. “Bruce needs to rest. You should go home as well.

Ingrid cracked a smile. “All right, then. Well, Roxy, I guess you’d better stay and take care of Bruce. Your dad and I won’t stay here and cause more inconvenience to the Everetts.”

Margaret listened and said nothing.

She merely adjusted her shawl and walked away expressionlessly.

Seeing that, Roxanne sighed aloud.

Ingrid, who heard her, frowned as she asked, “Why are you sighing?”

“I…” Roxanne began but couldn’t find the right words.

She knew that a rift had developed between her and Bruce.

“You! All you know is acting like a brat at home. How did I get such a stupid daughter like you?”

“Mom, there you go again! This matter has to do with relationships. What does it have to do with. whether one is smart or not?”

“Of course, it matters!”

“Forget it. Just go home!”

“Stay close to Bruce, and don’t let anything happen.”

“Got it…”

After Ingrid and Shaun left, Roxanne sat in the corridor of the hospital for nearly half an hour. After finally calming down, she went back into the ward.

“Are you hungry, Bruce? I’ve packed you some broth!”

Bruce paused for a few seconds but couldn’t resist asking, “Roxy, I want to ask you something!”

“Sure, what is it?”

“Ten years ago, I drowned in your swimming pool. Who saved me?”

The moment Roxanne heard that, a strange look immediately flashed across her eyes. are you asking this question out of the blue?”

“I just remembered it today, so I’m just asking.”

Roxanne clenched her fists nervously and managed a smile. “Of course, it was me!”

“Really?”

“Of course, it’s true. Don’t you believe me?”

It took Roxanne everything she had to maintain a calm facade.

She knew very well why Bruce suddenly took a fancy to her ten years ago.

That year, Margaret had brought Bruce to the Haynes residence for a visit.
