Chapter 837


    “Then I’ll get going first. Goodbye, Mr. Thompson.”


    “Goodbye,” Mr. Thompson replied with a smile.


    After saying goodbye to Mr. Thompson, Bruce rushed to the hospital uneasily.


    Aria Bridges was now missing.


    This made him extremely uneasy.


    After this bloody lesson, he had a deep understanding of Aria and was even more shocked by her


    madness.


    “Now that she had gone missing. Would shee to harass Joanna and me again?” he wondered.


    Thinking of this, Bruce felt suffocated and subconsciously reached for the cigarette in his pocket.


    When he was upset, he wanted to smoke.


    After fumbling around his pocket for a while, he did not find a cigarette.


    He had already promised Joanna to quit smoking. Now, he had finally made some progress.


    It was better not to smoke again.


    However, he stillforted himself in his heart that Aria had cancer and probably wouldn’t live long. So


    she probably wouldn’t have the chance to look for him again. Of course, he couldn’t let his guard


    down.


    9:20 PM at the hospital.


    Bruce returned to the hospital.


    “Click!” He gently pushed open the door.


    “Mr. Everett…” Miranda and a nurse quickly stood up to greet him.


    The lights in the ward had been turned off, leaving only a small bedsidemp. Joanna should be


    asleep.


    “Is Joann asleep?”


    “Oh, she’s already asleep. Do you want me to wake her up?” The servant asked respectfully.


    Hearing this, Bruce quickly waved his hand. “Shh, lower your voice. Don’t wake Joann up.”


    Hearing this, Miranda and the servant quickly shut up.


    Bruce walked into the ward inside and came to the bed quietly.


    Joannay on the bed with her eyes closed. It looked like she was sleeping soundly.


    She had splints on her hands and a repair belt on her waist.


    There wereyers of gauze wrapped around her head, making her look a little tragic.


    Bruce’s heart skipped a beat. He sat down quietly at the head of the bed. As he gazed upon the


    slumbering Joanna, a faint ache tugged at the depths of his heart.


    He was really afraid that Aria woulde looking for him and Joanna again.


    Mr. Thompson’s words today made him waver again.


    He wanted to withdraw from the organization entirely, but… he was a little reluctant. He was really


    conflicted now, and his heart was iparably conflicted.

    Bruce still didn’t say anything. Joanna quietly opened her eyes. Seeing him sitting at the head of the


    bed in a daze, Joanna suddenly asked, “You’re back?”


    Bruce was in a daze and was shocked. “You’re awake?”


    “I wasn’t sleeping,” Joanna retorted with a hint of annoyance.


    How could she possibly sleep?


    How could she be at ease when Bruce went out to discuss business at night?


    Even though she knew that he would not do anything bad..


    However, she could not help but let her imagination run wild. After all, Bruce had been in a few


    idents in a row. Now that he was out, she was naturally a little worried.


    “Why aren’t you sleeping?” Bruce gently stroked her hair.


    Joanna did not answer the question but asked, “Why are you back so early? How can I sleep if you’re


    not back?”


    Bruce looked down at his watch. “It’s already half past nine. It’s not too early!”


    “Hmph, I thought you would y until one or two.”


    “Why would I? I was meeting a client, not eating, drinking, or having fun. Besides, you’re still lying in


    the hospital. I’m not in the mood to y,” Bruce said as he continued to stroke Joanna’s hair gently.


    “At least you have some conscience.”


    Bruce smiled gently, his eyes filled with tenderness. “Honey, are you hungry? Do you want to eat


    something?”


    “I’m not hungry. I just feel ufortable all over. I really want to get up and have a walk.” Joanna had


    been lying on the bed for a few days.


    Lying on the hospital bed for so many days was really ufortable. Especially since there were two


    or three fractures on her bone, she couldn’t even move, let alone go to the bathroom


    Although the intensive caregiver and servants took care of her meticulously, she was still in a distraught


    state.


    “Don’t move. Hurry up and lie down. You can’t get up yet. The doctor said that you have to lie down


    and rest. For the fractured part, it needs more careful nurturing.” Bruce was afraid that Joanna would


    move, so he quickly warned her.


    “s…” Joanna let out a heavy sigh.


    During this period of time, their family could be considered to have gone against the hospital.


    They spent most of their time in the hospital this year. “Perhaps Miranda is right. Maybe it was caused


    by some kind of negative energy. After being discharged from the hospital, I must find a master who


    understands this to analyze the situation,” Joanna thought.


    “Which client did you see today?”


    Bruce nced at her. “Umm, a client from the north. You don’t know him.”


    “Which corporation?”


    “Just… Ah, my brain is a little tired now. I forgot about that name Bruce said vaguely.


    Joanna was stunned for a moment.


    “What’s wrong? Why do you look so dispirited?


    “Did the deal not go through?”


    “Yes, there’s a little trouble. It might take a while to negotiate.”


    “Ah! What kind ofpany has such a powerful background?”


    “Just a business up north.


    “Dear, can you stop asking? I’m a little tired now and want to sleep,” Bruce said as he leaned against


    Joanna.


    Joanna was in the VIP ward.


    The bed was different from ordinary hospital beds. It was veryfortable and spacious, enough for


    two people to sleep in


    1.


    “Get up quickly. You haven’t even showered.”
