Chapter 445
Anxious and resentful voices came from the other end of the phone. “The Green Bay project is about to
be implemented. We are running out of time. You have to find the evidence of his bribery as soon as
possible.
“Otherwise, it won’t be so easy to take him down after the project ispletely implemented.”
Roxanne’s heart tightened. “Don’t worry! I’ll settle it as soon as possible!”
“Don’t disappoint me again. Otherwise, I’ll teach you a lesson.” With that, the other person hung up.
After hanging up!
Roxanne was also very annoyed. She had sessfully entered the Everett family now.
However, Bruce did not give her any chance to approach him.
She could not catch any traces of Bruce’s crimes.
Moreover, there were surveince cameras everywhere in the house. It was almost impossible for her
to y any tricks.
“Why didn’t the eavesdropping device in the study capture any useful information? It’s been so many
days” Roxanne hammered the pillow a few times.
The Everett Group was in the process of nning an investment in a real estate project located in
Green Bay, Porash. The project aimed to develop thergest sea–view vimunity in Porash.
At the same time, an amusement parkparable to Disnend would be built nearby, called
Dreand.
Recently, Bruce had been upied with handling various contracts and obtaining necessary approvals
for the project. Given the scale of the project, it was inevitable to establish connections and cultivate
rtionships with political figures and local partners.
In the business world, there were many unspoken rules when it came to building rtionships. No one
could stay out of
trouble.
Bruce was no exception!
His fight with Joanna during this period of time had disturbed him greatly.
In the next few days, Bruce put all his energy into work.
He came backte every day.
Joanna focused on taking care of the children every day, having no intention of making peace.
In the evening, at the restaurant!
The servants prepared dinner. Joanna asked Davian and Irvin to cat.
Irvin looked at the table full of dishes and muttered, “Mommy, Daddy hasn’t eaten with us for a few
days. Aren’t we waiting for Daddy today?”
When Joanna heard this, her expression turned stiff. “Don’t wait for Daddy. I don’t know what time
Daddy will get off work. Let’s hurry up and eat. After eating, go to bed early.”
“Oh…” Davian and Irvin picked up their bowls and ate silently.
At the dining table, the atmosphere was also very oppressive. Joanna did not speak, and Lilia and
Bruce were not around. They felt that the food was no longer tasty.
In the past, the family of five ate together. Although Daddy loved to scold them, he got used to it.
Now, he was not used to not being able to hear his daddy’s scolding!
After the children finished eating, Bruce finally returned.
“Daddy, are you off work?”
“Yup!” Bruce replied coldly.
“Have you eaten?”
“Yup.”
With that, Bruce went straight into the study with a gloomy expression!
Ten o’clock at night!
The two little guys stood under the covers, tossing and turning, unable to fall asleep.
“Davin, did Daddy and Mommy have a conflict again?”
Davian sighed faintly. “Sigh, it’s obvious. Look at Daddy’s face.”
Irvin got up and said worriedly. “Then what should we do? Daddy and Mommy won’t be separated
again, right?”
Davian frowned when he heard that.
“If Daddy and Mommy are separated, we’ll have single–parent again.”
“Daddy is rude sometimes, but he’s quite qualified in other aspects. Davian, we have to think of a way
to matchmake Daddy and Mommy. We can’t let them be separated again!
“That bad woman Roxanne is eyeing Daddy covetously. If she snatches Daddy away, she would
be our stepmother.
“I don’t want that bad woman to be our stepmother!”
Davian also became worried. “Yes, we should think of a way to matchmake Daddy and Mommy!
“How are we going to do it? I think they’ve been in a cold war. They’re ignoring each other!”
“Then we’ll find a way to make them reconcile.”
Irvin tilted his head and asked worriedly, “What should we do?”
“Hmm, we have to think about it carefully!
“The main thing now is that Mommy is ignoring Daddy, not that Daddy is ignoring Mommy. So, we have
to start with Mommy first.
“As long as Mommy forgives Daddy, Daddy will definitely be fine.”
“But how should we coax Mommy?”
“Uh… Why don’t we apologize to Mommy in Daddy’s name and ask for Mommy’s forgiveness? As long
as Mommy is happy. everything will be finel”
“No way! Mommy hates Daddy the most. If an apology was useful, Daddy would have apologized long
ago.”
“Then what do you think we should do?”
“I’m thinking about it!”
Davian and Irvin were worried sick for the sake of their daddy and mommy. They thought about it for
the entire night but could not think of a solution.
The next day.
The servants prepared breakfast. As usual, Joanna woke up early in the morning and called the
children for breakfast.
Although she did not have to do everything herself, she still wanted to take care of the children as
much as she could as a
mother.
“Davian, Irvin, hurry ande over for breakfast.”
The two little guys dawdled over. “Mommy, did you change the dressing on your arm?”
“Yes, yes. I’ve already changed it.”
“Oh!”
As they were talking, Bruce strode down the stairs.
As usual, he was wearing a suit and looked noble and elegant. However, his face was as dark as ice
and exuded a murderous
aura.
When he passed by the dining room, the two little guys greeted in unison, “Good morning, Daddy.”
“Morning!” Bruce replied.
Without even looking at Joanna, he passed through the dining room and walked out.
Simrly, Joanna did not give him a second nce. She treated him like air.
The two little guys looked at each other and exchanged nces. “Mommy, can you make spaghetti for
us this afternoon?”
Joanna was stunned!
Ccontent ? exclusive by N?/vel(D)ra/ma.Org.
Davian and Irvin’s favorite food were dumplings and pancakes. They didn’t really like spaghetti.
“Why do you want to eat spaghetti today?”
“We just want it.”
“Alriglu! I will make it for you after school.”

Okay, okay.”
Are you full, boys?”
“Yes.
“Hurry up and go to school. I have to go to the hospital to check on Liliater.”
“Oh, bye, Mommy.”
“Goodbye, my babies!” Joannasquatted down and kissed Davian and Irvin on the checks.
Then, the two little guys followed the driver to the car.
Joanna also packed up and rushed to the hospital to see her daughter.
No matter what, she had to go to the hospital to apany her daughter every day.
It was past ten in the morning.
Joanna drove to the children’s hospital.
Lilia had been in the hospital for almost a week.
“Doctor, how is Lilia’s condition?”
The doctor flipped through Lilia’s medical record and said with a serious expression. “She is having bad
anemia. She has hematopoietic stem cell disorder. Pulmonary inmmation is serious as well. She still
needs to stay in the hospital for a period of time.
“If there’s still no improvement, we might have to consider a bone marrow transnt.”
Joanna frowned when she heard that. Although the doctor didn’t say that Lilia’s leukemia would
rpse, it was very likely
the case.
“Now, we have to treat her lung infection first. Otherwise, it will cause other illnesses.”
“Alright, I understand!” Joanna replied gloomily.
Then, she left the doctor’s office and entered Lilia’s ward..
Lilian and two professional caregivers in the hospital. When they saw Joannaing over, they
hurriedly came forward.
“Hello. Mrs. Everett.”
Joanna’s brows sank. She hated this title. However, she was toozy to correct them.
“Lilia. I am here to see you!”
Liliay on the hospital bed. Her big eyes flickered as she called out in a childish voice, “Mommy…”
“Are you still feeling unwell?” Joanna looked at her daughter, feeling sorry for her.
Lilia had been sick since she was born and had suffered a lot. Joanna wished she could take it for her.
“Yes, a little!”
When Joanna heard this, she felt even more upset. She gently rubbed her daughter’s head. “Are you
hungry? Do you want to eat something?”
“I’m not hungry. I just want chocte.”
“Be good. When you recover, I will buy you a lot of choctes,” Joanna said gently.
Lilia loved chocte the most. Unfortunately, because of her health, she could not eat too much
chocte.
