Chapter 238


    Roxanne was even more furious when she heard those words, and she shouted into the phone, “Fine. I


    can’t beat her, not even once. It’s all my fault. I’m useless!


    “You wish she were your daughter, don’t you? I don’t deserve to be your daughter. Are you happy


    now?


    Ingrid curled her lips and snorted. “Look at you! What nonsense are you talking about? You’re damn


    good at being mad at your mother! Did I say anything wrong?


    “Just admit the fact that you can’t beat her. Don’t be such a sore loser!”


    “Fine! Fine! I’m done talking to you! I called you toin, not to expect you to give me a lesson!”


    “You! You’ve always been a short fuse!”


    “Mom, didn’t you say you’vee up with something to deal with that damned bitch?


    “Why haven’t you done it yet? She’s getting more smug!” Roxanne roared into the phone in


    dissatisfaction.


    But she didn’t know Ingrid had hired a killer to assassinate Joanna!


    Of course, Ingrid would not tell her anything about it!


    Ingrid sighed. “Don’t worry. You can’t jump the gun. You have to sit tight and wait!


    “A little impatience will spoil a big n. Joanna won’t have her day as long as I’m here!”


    Roxanne choked in anger. “She has already suspected us! You’re smart, aren’t you? Figure out


    something to deal with her!”


    On the other end of the line, Ingrid rolled her eyes. “Fine. I know what to do. Take care of yourself and


    the baby. Everything else is no big deal!


    “That’s it. Bye for now!”


    Ingrid said it and hung up the phone abruptly!


    After she hung up on Roxanne, Ingrid took a few deep breaths. She was so angry that she was blue in


    the face!


    She must say her cousins were indeed two idiots. After all this time, they still hadn’t made a move!


    Ingrid was so furious that she called her cousin directly.


    “Hello!”


    “Hello, Ingrid!”


    As soon as the call went through, Ingrid thundered, “What’s going on with what I told you to do?


    “It’s been three months, and there’s no progress till now! Christmas ising soon. When the hell are


    you going to get it


    done?”


    Wace frowned and quickly exined, “Ingrid, it is tricky now!


    “Joanna is staying in the hospital now, and she has got bodyguards and servants around. Other than


    that, there are many doctors and nurses in the hospital. We can’t enter her room at all!”


    Ingrid’s pupils dted as she roared, “It’s your problem! Do you still want that 4 million dors or not?


    “If you still want it, figure out something. Stop giving me crap! You get a brain and think with it!

    “That damned bitch won’t wait ande to her death if you don’te up with something!”


    Wace said timidly. “Chill out. We’re on it!


    “We have to think of a perfect n. We can’t act rashly! Otherwise, we’ll be shot to death!”


    Ingrid couldn’t help but curse again. “Make it quick! I can’t wait any longer!”


    “Okay! Okay! Wait for our good news!”


    After Wace finished talking with Ingrid, he immediately called Ramos.


    “Hello!”


    “Ramos, can you do it or not?”


    Ramos was silent for a few seconds and said hoarsely, “Wait a little longer. I’ve already found out which


    ward she’s staying in!


    “I’ve already thought of a way to sneak into the ward. I definitely won’t screw it this time!”


    Hearing it, Wace was a little anxious. “Are you going to do it right in the ward?”


    “Yes! Don’t worry! I’ve already thought of a way out. I guarantee they won’t have anything on you if you


    pay on time.”


    Wace pondered for a few seconds. “No worries. You’ll receive the payment as soon as Joanna


    Haynes dies!


    “I’ll transfer 40 thousand dors to you first.”


    “No! I want you to settle the bnce immediately!”


    “Come on, dude! The bitch is not dead yet!”


    Ramos coughed twice and panted heavily. “I promise I’ll kill her this time. You have my word. But I have


    to receive the bnce first!


    “Otherwise, this deal won’t work!”


    “Alright then!


    “Mark my words. If you miss it this time, I’ll get someone toe after your family!”


    Ramos kept his voice down. “I guarantee I’ll get the job done nicely this time. Ahem! Ahem!”


    As he spoke, Ramos could not help to cough!


    He was already terminally ill. He would probably die in one or two months! He was afraid that it would


    be toote if he didn’t make his move soon.


    He wanted to earn the money and leave it to his wife and children!


    He had made a n. He would dress up as a doctor and sneak into Joanna’s ward!


    He did not intend to live after he killed Joanna!


    In the hospital.


    “Mrs. Everett, have some milk. Mr. Everett told me to get you the milk!


    “Mr. Everett said you should have a ss of milk daily and told us to watch you finish it!”


    “Okay!” Joanna got up and drank up the milk.


    She had a better appetite, and she could finally eat something.


    After drinking the milk, Joannay down again.


    Ms. Chain cleared the dishes and smiled mildly. “Mr. Everett just called and said he would be here at


    eight tonight!”


    “Okay, I see!”


    “Then you should rest for a while!”


    “Okay!” Joanna replied and closed her eyes again for rest!


    She had an unstable centa and did not dare to move around. She would eat, sleep and do


    everything in bed!


    Fortunately, the servants were meticulous, and she didn’t feel ufortable.


    One o’clock in the afternoon!


    There came a man, around 5.5 feet tall, who was wearing a doctor’s uniform, a mask, and a sterile


    doctor cap.


    He was walking towards Joanna’s ward.


    At the door of the ward, two bodyguards stopped him. “Who are you?”


    “I’m here for the ward rounds!”


    “I haven’t seen you before.”


    “I’m in charge of the sanitation management and go the ward rounds once a month!”


    “Okay! Come on in.” The bodyguards looked the man up and down suspiciously!

    He talked shop and looked professional with a piece of detector equipment in his hand, so the


    bodyguards believed it.


    The man dressed as a doctor looked gloomy on his face. He opened the door of the ward and went in!


    Ms. Chain looked the man up and down. “Who are you? What are you doing here?”


    “I’m here to check the sanitation standards! Please stay out of the room for a while. I have to test the


    formaldehyde level in the ward with my equipment!”


    Ms. Chain and Nancy couldn’t believe it!


    “Will there be formaldehyde in this ward? This is a VIP ward!”


    Ramos said in a low voice. The ward was renovatedst month. We’ve cleaned off the formaldehyde!


    “But we have to do a formaldehyde removal once a month! It’s expiring today, and we have to purify the


    air in the room!”


    “Oh, I see!”


    “Yeah. You can wait at the door! It won’t take more than ten minutes!”


    “Fine then!” Ms. Chain and Nancy said nothing else and left the ward obediently!


    Joanna was still lying on the bed and listening quietly!


    She vaguely felt the man’s figure was familiar but couldn’t remember who he was.


    The servants left the ward.


    Ramos pretended to fiddle with the detector and suddenly took a sharp knife out of his pocket.


    He turned around and tried to stab Joanna!


    Joanna looked into Ramos’s eyes and suddenly remembered it all.


    But it was toote when she realized it. Ramos hade at her with a knife.


    Joanna dodged to the side in fear and cowered in the corner of the bed!


    Pift! Ramos had stabbed the knife into the nket!


    “Ah! Help!” Joanna screamed and raised her arms, and then the IV drip bottle knocked down onto


    Ramos together with the pole!


    Pfft! Ramos stabbed again.


    Joanna hurriedly picked up the pillow and blocked it!


    Hiss!


    The pillow was cut open, and the feathers inside flew everywhere!


    Joanna raised her leg to kick Ramos in the chest and then rolled from the other side of the bed onto the


    ground!


    “Help!”


    “Something’s happening inside?”


    The bodyguards and the servants heard the cry and immediately pushed the door open!


    Unfortunately, the door was already locked from the inside!


    “On your feet!” The bodyguard stepped back and kicked the ward door open.


    When the bodyguards rushed into the ward, they were shocked!


    One of the bodyguards kicked Ramos right in the chest!


    Ramos took a few steps backward and spat out a mouthful of blood before he fell to the ground.


    He was already in thete stages of cancer and was too weak. The kick was killing him. He could not


    stand steadily or climb. up from the ground.


    The other two bodyguards jumped over and twisted Ramos’s hands in the back, firmly restraining him


    on the ground.


    “Who are you?”


    Ramosy on the ground, struggling. Unfortunately, he couldn’t fight back at all.


    Joanna took off his mask and took a look at his face. He was the man who tried to kill her in the toilet


    last time!


    “Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?”


    Ramos spat out a mouthful of blood. His eyes were wide open, and he could not say a word.
