Chapter 453


    Those who lived in the mostpetitive ces could only make themselves stronger. If they took a


    step back, they would have no foothold.


    Looking at the faint fatigue hidden in Bruce’s eyes, Joanna’s heart suddenly softened. “Bruce, I don’t


    want anything to happen to you…”


    When Bruce heard this, his eyes lit up. “Why? Don’t want to part with me?”


    Joanna frowned. “How could you still be in the mood to joke at such a critical moment?”


    “I’m not joking! Since things havee to this point, what else can I do? I’ll deal with whateveres


    my way!” Bruce curled his lips and smiled.


    “Then… Is there anything I can do for you?” Joanna was a little afraid that something would happen to


    Bruce.


    A person in a high position was liable to be targeted.


    Bruce was already the richest man in Greyport at such a young age. Behind his back, there were many


    people who envied him and were jealous of him. There were countless people who wanted to knock


    him down.


    “Yes, it would be best if you could make me a bowl of spaghetti.”


    When Joanna heard this, she hurriedly nodded. “Alright, wait for me. I’ll cook it immediately.”


    “Honey, I love you!” Bruce’s lips curled into a smile, his eyes filled with love.


    Joanna was stunned. She did not darken her face this time but went straight into the kitchen.


    Cooking spaghetti was very simple and it could be done in less than 15 minutes.


    While cooking the spaghetti, Joanna was distracted from time to time. Even though she hated Bruce,


    he was still the father of the children. She really didn’t want anything to happen to him.


    Soon, a bowl of steaming hot spaghetti was ready.

    Joanna walked out with the spaghetti. “It’s ready. Enjoy!”


    Bruce was sitting on a chair in the dining room staring nkly. He knitted his brows as if he was


    thinking about something.


    “The spaghetti is ready!” Joanna repeated softly.


    “Oh, okay!” Bruce raised his eyebrows and put on a rxed expression.


    Then, he picked up tableware and began to eat spaghetti with relish: “Mmm, it’s delicious!”


    “I really hope I can eat the spaghetti cooked by my wife every day in the future.”


    Upon hearing this, Joanna watched him eating spaghetti with aplicated expression.


    On second thought, there was actually no need to worry too much! The Everett Group had the


    strongest legal team. No matter how difficult thewsuit was, it would not be a big problem.


    “Are


    you


    full? If not, I can cook you more.”


    “Yes, I’m full.”


    The two of them looked at each other for more than ten seconds. Joanna felt as if a ma had hit her


    heart and quickly retracted her gaze.


    “Change your clothes and rest. I still have to go to the hospital!”


    “I’ll go with you!”


    “Mm.”


    The two of them didn’t say anything else. They got into the car and rushed to the hospital.


    Along the way, the two of them did not talk much. It was just that Bruce’s hand kept holding Joanna’s


    hand.


    Although Bruce was released, he was restricted from leaving the country until the case was


    investigated.


    At the children’s hospital, the two of them entered the ward one after another.


    “Baby Lilia, Daddy and Mommy are here to see you.”


    On the hospital bed, Lilia had an oxygen tube inserted into her nose. Her little face was so pale that


    there was no trace of blood.


    “Daddy, where have you been for the past two days? Why aren’t you here with me?”


    Lilia had alreadypleted the first round of chemotherapy. She was so thin that she was nothing but


    skin and bones.


    Bruce came to the bed and looked at his daughter gently. “Isn’t Daddy here now?”


    Lilia blinked weakly and looked at him, saying in a childish voice, “Daddy, can you apany me


    every day in the future?”


    “Dr. yton, how long will it take for Lilia to undergo the second chemotherapy?”


    “ording to the current recovery progress, there’s still two weeks before the second chemotherapy.”


    “Okay, I understand.


    “No matter what method you use, please must cure Lilia.”


    “Mr. Everett, don’t worry. We’ll do our best.”


    At the nurses‘ station, the two nurses could not help but discuss.


    “Hey, I heard that Mr. Everett was taken away by the Independent Commission Against Corruption for


    investigation the day before yesterday. I didn’t expect him toe out so quickly.”


    “Have you seen the news these two days? I heard that the illegal financing of the Everett Group is


    more than 2 billion dors. There’s also suspected moneyundering.”


    “There’s also something about the Green Bay project. I heard that the bribery in that project alone is


    more than 200 million dors. If these charges are true, Mr. Everett will probably go to jail.”


    “s, these are all groundless rumors. There’s no concrete evidence yet. Besides, don’t you know who


    Mr. Everett is? He’s very powerful. Even if he reallymitted a financial crime, he’ll probably settle it


    quickly.”


    “Which top tycoon like him has a clean background? That’s why the rich people will be richer and richer


    while the poor people will be poorer and poorer.”


    “That’s true. We, ordinary people, should live our lives standing on solid ground!”


    “However, Mr. Everett really dotes on his daughter. His daughter really has a lucky fate. She is lucky


    enough to be Mr. Everett’s daughter.”


    The other nurse pursed her lips. “She’s just a sick girl. What’s to envy? This is all karma for capitalists


    who have done too many bad things.”
