Chapter 460


    Smelling the faint fresh fragrance on Joanna’s body and feeling her gentle fingertips, Bruce felt


    incredibly rxed.


    Joanna massaged him for less than ten minutes, and Bruce began to emit a faint snoring sound.


    He had actually fallen asleep.


    Seeing Bruce asleep, Joanna let out a sigh and continued to massage his head.


    Normally, he was always energetic, rarely showing signs of fatigue.


    Now, he was sleeping so soundly, indicating that he was truly under a lot of pressure.


    The incident with the reporter, although it had been rified and the Everett Group had released the


    actual surveince video, it had still caused a considerable negative impact.


    Even the police chief personally called him, advising him to handle the aftermath without drawing too


    much attention.


    And the Independent Commission Against Corruption hadunched a thorough investigation. They had


    alreadye to thepany to collect financial records and various registered contracts.


    The situation in Greyport was stormy, and the impact of public opinion was even greater in


    Mossbourne.


    If he couldn’t handle the aftermath properly. Bruce could really end up in a bad situation. Currently, he


    was like a high–speed train. If it derailed, the consequences would be unimaginable.


    Bruce slept for half an hour before suddenly jolting awake.


    “Why did I fall asleep?”


    “If you’re tired, it’s okay to sleep!”


    Bruce yawned and rubbed his eyes while still half–asleep. “How long did I sleep?”


    “Just half an hour.”


    “Oh!”


    “Get up quickly. My legs are numb.” Joanna said, frowning as she pushed his head off herp.


    His head was as heavy as a giant hammer, and it was getting difficult to bear it on her legs.


    Bruce stood up and stretched his limbs. “Ah, that nap was reallyfortable. It’s more effective than


    sleeping for several hours at night.”


    “Lilia, my good girl! Here I am!”


    “Shh, Lilia is also asleep. Don’t wake her up.”


    “Oh, okay.” Bruce immediately quieted down, lowering his head to check on his daughter.


    “I wish our daughter would get better soon.”


    Just as Bruce was feeling emotional, his phone vibrated in his pocket.


    He took out his phone and saw that it was from Zachary,


    “I’ll go out to take the call!”


    “Alright, go ahead!” Joanna replied casually.


    Bruce took the call and left the hospital room.


    “Hello, Zachary, what’s up?”


    On the other end of the line, Zachary chuckled, “Ah Bruce, what’s been going ontely? I’ve been


    calling you, but you never answered.”


    “Oh, is there something going on? I’ve been busytely!”


    “Yeah, you’re so busy, it’s not easy to reach you these days.” Zachary teased over the phone.


    “What’s the matter? Just spill it!”


    Zachary changed his teasing tone and asked with concern, “I heard that your daughter is sick. Is she


    getting better now?”

    “She’s still undergoing treatment.”


    “Well, don’t worry. With the medical advancements nowadays, she’ll definitely get better.”


    Bruce furrowed his brow. “I hope so.”

    By the way, I know a pediatric expert who specializes in treating leukemia. Do you want me to


    introduce you to him?”


    Bruce’s eyes lit up. “Really? What’s his name?”


    “He’s a Melta pediatrician. How about I arrange an appointment for you. I’ll give you his contact


    information.”


    “Just tell me over the phone, and I’ll check his background.”


    After all, he knew only the top pediatricians, and he didn’t bother with the lesser–known ones.


    “Don’t worry! I’ll introduce you to one of the best pediatric experts. Even if it doesn’t help, it won’t do


    any harm.”


    “By the way, it’s been a while since west met. I really miss you.”


    “Heh.” Bruce chuckled dryly. “Why would you miss me? I’m not a woman.”


    “Come on. We’re the best of buddies. You know, brotherhood always outweigh womankind.


    “Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense.”


    Zachary spoke primly. “Why don’t youe to my club tonight? Let’s have a party.”


    “Um… Bruce hesitated. At this moment, he didn’t really want to go to a nightclub.


    Especially after thest time he went to a nightclub, Joanna was very angry.


    If he met Zachary again, he would probably be persuaded to drink again.


    Perhaps sensing Bruce’s hesitation. Zachary quickly added, “Don’t worry! We won’t drink tonight, and


    there won’t be any women. I’ll only drink coffee you. Is that alright?”


    “Emm, okay then.”


    “Mr. Everett, when did you be a henpeck? If this gets out, you will beughed at.”


    “Enough, let’s not talk about that. See you tonight.”


    “Yeah, see you tonight, don’t stand me up.”


    “Don’t worry! I’ll hang up now.” Bruce finished speaking and hung up the phone.


    Back in the hospital room, Joanna was still taking care of Lilia. As she saw him return, she asked


    subconsciously, “Whose call


    was it?”


    “Oh, it was Zachary.”


    Joanna’s eyes rolled, and her face instantly darkened.


    “He just called me and said he knows a Melta pediatrician who specializes in treating leukemia. He is


    going to introduced him to me.”
