Chapter 160


    “Bruce, my mind is in a mess now. I do not want to talk about this matter now!” Joanna frowned. Her


    thin and haggard appearance now made people


    feel heartbroken.


    Bruce hugged her gently and said, “Alright! We will talk about it slowly after our daughter has


    recovered.”


    Ingrid and Shaun had been searching for quite some time before they found Roxanne.


    “Roxy! It is a critical moment now. You can’t throw a tantrum!”


    “Joanna, that bitch! Now that she has three children, she has gained the upper hand!”


    “At this juncture, she is waiting for you to take the initiative to break up with Bruce!”


    Roxanne curled up on the couch, feeling dispirited and listless.


    Initially, it should be her wedding tomorrow. However, the wedding was canceled.


    She would probably be theughingstock of the Greyport again.


    When she came to think about it, she could not wait to tear Joanna apart.


    Shaun could not help but sigh beside them. After giving it a thought, he pulled a long face and said, “If


    it really doesn’t work, I think… we should just forget about the marriage!”


    Upon hearing it, Ingrid said furiously, “You make it sounds so easy, don’t you? Do you know that


    everyone in Greyport is waiting for Roxy to make a fool


    out of herself?”


    “No matter what, Roxy has to marry into the Everett family and be Mrs. Everett!” Ingrid continued.


    As Ingrid spoke, she sat beside Roxanne again and shook her arms. She said, “Roxy, listen to me and


    pull yourself together hurriedly. At a time like this, the more you should show your magnanimity.”


    She then continued, “So what if she has the children? What are you afraid of? As long as you marry


    Mr. Everett, you will be Mrs. Everett, hiswful wife!”


    “By then, even if Joanna has three children, your status could not be shaken!” Ingrid continued to say.


    Roxanne blinked her eyes with tears flowing down her cheeks. She then said, “Mom, I feel so


    embarrassed now…”


    “Silly girl, it would be more embarrassing if you choose to break up with Mr. Everett now! Wealthy


    families are way different from any normal families. You have topete with each other with patience


    and endurance!


    “The more you could tolerate and endure, the chances of winning would be higher!


    “The more you can’t withstand, the lesser things you could achieve!”


    When Shaun heard about it, he interrupted and said, “Stop forcing Roxy anymore. From what I see, Mr.


    Everett has no intention to marry Roxy at all! Even if we for them into marriage, they would not be


    happy too.”


    Ingrid burst into mes upon hearing what Shaun said, “Shut up! Of course, you want Roxy to break up


    with Mr. Everett!”


    Ingrid then continued to say, “So that you could let that bitch, Joanna, patch up with Mr. Everett and


    marry him instead. You are so biased!”


    “Since when did I being biased? It is a marriage that we are talking about now. Do you know that


    marriage determines a woman’s happiness for the rest


    of her life?”


    “I am only afraid that Roxy would not be happy after marrying into the family…” Shaun continued.


    “Well, you don’t have to worry about this. No matter what, Roxy should get married first! In short, we


    could not let that bitch, Joanna, get away with it so,


    casily!”


    After hearing what Ingrid said, a trace of courage ignited in Roxanne’s heart again.


    “You are right, Mother!” said Roxanne confidently.


    “No matter what, we could not let Joanna get away with it easily!”


    “That’s more like it! What you should do now is to make a call to Mr. Everett to show your magnanimity


    and tolerance.


    “As long as you cling onto him and refuse to break up with him, he would not be able to patch up with


    Joanna easily. If you break up with him out of anger now, it will be exactly what that slut, Joanna, wants


    you to do now!”


    Upon hearing what Ingrid said, Roxanne stood up from the couch immediately and ran upstairs.


    “Roxy, why are you in a hurry?”


    “I am making a call to Bruce.”


    Roxanne went upstairs and calmed herself down. Then, she made a call to Bruce..


    Ring! Ring! Ring!


    Bruce’s phone kept vibrating non–stop.


    Upon seeing that the call was from Roxanne, Bruce switched his phone to silent mode instantly.


    Roxanne had called Bruce’s phone more than a dozen times consecutively. However, he refused to


    pick up the call. Hence, she sent him messages


    instead.


    “Bruce, I am sorry for being too wilful!”


    “Rest assured that I am willing to wait for you. No matter what, I will wait for you forever!”


    “Bruce, your children are my children too. I will treat them as my own children as well! You don’t have


    to worry about me now. The most important thing now is to save the child…”


    Roxanne sent more than a hundred messages to Bruce at one time!


    After reading all the messages, Bruce felt more headache now!


    Some women were indeed troublesome and annoying. Why did she still pester him after she had


    broken up with him?


    In the ward!


    Joanna and Bruce changed into surgical gowns before visiting Lilia in the ward.


    Lilia seemed to be at one’sst gasp. She wasying on the bed with a few oxygen tubes inserted into


    her tiny body.


    Joanna’s eyes weked up as she endured her tears and said, “Lilia, are you okay? Do you feel any


    pain?”


    Lilia opened her eyes slightly and looked at Joanna as she said in a weak voice, “Mommy…”


    “Mommy and Daddy will always be with you. You will get well soon!”


    “Daddy!” Lilia was a very obedient girl. She was very close to Bruce too.


    Before Bruce spoke, she had already called him obediently.


    Upon hearing Lilia call him “Daddy“, Bruce’s heart melted almost instantly.


    Bruce’s eyes welled up as he held onto Lilia’s hands. He felt so heartbroken to see her in such a state.


    He did not expect that her daughter would suffer from such a critical illness!


    “Don’t worry, darling. Daddy loves you as much as Mommy. I will try my best to treat your illness!”


    “Let’s work hard together to get better, okay?”


    “Alright!”


    Soon after…


    Lilia was scheduled to undergo the surgery oning Monday!


    Based on the report, everything was a match between Bruce and Lilia. So, Bruce was suitable to


    be the donor.


    After the surgery was scheduled, Joanna’s mind was in a mess.


    “Oh my goodness! Mr. Everett and Miss Roxanne’s wedding is canceled again!”


    “I knew it! I knew that Miss Joanna would not let it go so easily!”


    “Look! At such a critical juncture, Miss Joanna chose to fight back! She managed to turn the tables and


    gained the upper hand with her three children!”


    “Hey, aren’t the three children belong to Mr. Grimm? Why are they Mr. Everett’s children now?”


    “In fact, they are Mr. Everett’s children in the first ce. Mr. Grimm has never acknowledged that he is


    the father of the children!”


    “Oh my gosh! Their rtionship is such a mess!”


    “The news where the two sisters are fighting for a husband has gone viral!”


    “That’s right! This kind of dramatic and exaggerated scenes of the wealthy family seems to be


    repetitive!”


    “Haha! No matter what, let’s see how Roxanne can be so cocky in the future! Doesn’t she always im


    that she is Mrs. Everett? Well, it is so embarrassing now as if she has given herself a tight p on her


    face!”


    After Bruce and Roxanne’s wedding was canceled, it caused an uproar again!


    All sorts of spections and criticisms could be seen online!


    On the other hand.


    At the Everett mansion!


    Margaret was so happy after she brought Davian and Irvin back to the Everett mansion.


    With such joy, her illness seemed to have been cured instantly. She did not even need to sit in the


    wheelchair now.


    However Davian and Irvin were still not used to the new environment, “Great–grandma, we want to go


    home!”


    “Silly boys, this is your home in the future!”


    “This is not our home!”


    Margaret sighed upon hearing it, “Korbin, it is time to find someone to get their names changed!”


    “How could they be called Irvin Haynes and Davian Haynes?” she continued.


    Then, she instructed the butler, “Get a Geomancer to change their names!”


    “Yes, Madam.”


    When the two little fellows heard about it, they were so unhappy. They said, “We don’t want to change


    our names. This is our name, we are not changing


    it.”


    “Silly boys, now that you are the members of the Everett family, how can your surname be Haynes?”


    Korbin then reminded Margaret with a smile, “Mrs. Margaret, it is time for your physiotherapy.”


    “Alright! I am going for my physiotherapy now. Bring the two to their room first!”


    “Yes, Madam.”


    After that, the servants brought the two little fellows to their bedroom.


    Irvin was left speechless when he saw the house that resembled a castle, “Davian, are we going to


    stay here in the future?”


    “I don’t know!”


    “I miss Mommy and Lilia so much!”


    “Yup! I miss them too!”


    “When can we see them again?”


    “There is a phone here. We can call Mommy.”


    “That’s right!”


    The two little fellows were so excited when they saw the phone. They called Joanna hurriedly.


    Joanna picked up the phone soon.


    “Hello, Mommy!”


    “How are you, Davian and Irvin?”


    “Mommy, when are youing over to fetch us back?”


    Joanna took a deep breath and said, “Mommy wille over to pick you up after Lilia’s surgery. Is that


    okay?”


    “Mommy, Great–grandma said that she is going to change our names! But, we do not want to change


    our name!”


    Joanna’s heart skipped a beat upon hearing it, “Change names? Change what names?”


    “Great–grandma said that we cannot have Haynes as our surname anymore. We should change our


    surname to Everett!”


    Boom!


    Joanna owned upon hearing such news!


    She did want the three children to return to the Everett family!


    If she knew it earlier, she would have let Davian and Irvin go overseas to hide for the time being.


    “I think Great–grandma is joking with you! Let me call her and ask her about it.”


    Joanna hung up the call as soon as she finished her words.


    Then, she made a call to the butler of the Everett family. Content held by N?velDrama.Org.
