Joanna was in the car.
Lilia pouted unhappily. “Mommy, that foreign man looked at you with that passionate gaze again this

morning.
“I’m sure he has bad intentions. We’d better inform Daddy immediately and ask him toe over
quickly.”
When Joanna heard this, she could not help butugh. “You little girl, what do you know?”
“How could I not know? Well. That foreign man’s gaze is so creepy.
“It’s obvious that he has bad intentions. Mommy, I feel that he wants to woo you.”
“Why are you behaving like your daddy?” Joanna could not help but tap Lilia’s forehead.
Being an older woman herself, having raised four children, Joanna didn’t think she had that much
charm.
In her view, only Bruce and their daughter would think that someone was interested in her.
“I’m serious. Mommy, he definitely wants to woo you.
“Well. Mommy, you can’t give him any chance,” Lilia reminded Joanna worriedly.
Now, her daddy and her mommy finally got together.
Lilia was really afraid that they would separate again.
“What are you thinking about? Why do you have the same thoughts as your daddy?
“Besides, don’t say this in front of your daddy.”
Lilia looked up and asked in confusion, “Why?”
“Your daddy will believe it when he hears it,” Joanna exined.
What Joanna said was true.
Others might just say it casually. But if Bruce heard it, he would take it seriously.
When Bruce got jealous, it could be life-threatening.
Half an hour passed..
They arrived at the Carl Hospital.
“Miss Haynes, we have arrived at the Carl Hospital.”
“Let’s get out of the car.”
Lilia looked at the entrance of the hospital and shouted excitedly, “It’s here. Daddy and I came here
before.”
Joanna smiled and held her daughter’s hand as they got out of the car.
She had also been here before.
Because Jaydon had been hospitalized here, she was quite familiar with this ce.
Ten minutes passed.
They had already made an appointment in advance.
Therefore, Joanna and Lilia sessfully met Doctor Carl.
Doctor Carl was very easygoing and gentlemanly.
“Hello, Doctor Carl. We made an appointment before.
“Today, we are here for a follow-up visit.” Joanna used Antlenish to briefly exin the purpose of their
visit.
Doctor Carl smiled gently and went forward to examine Lilia. He replied in Antlenish, “Well. Let’s do a
checkup first.”
Then Doctor Carl performed a thorough examination.
Joanna watched worriedly the entire time. “Doctor, how is it?”
“There’s no problem. Her bones are developing well. She can undergo corrective surgery.”
“That’s great. How long will it take for corrective surgery?”
“Well. I can’t give you an urate answer at the moment.
“It depends on the patient’s bone growth and recovery status.”
“Alright then.”
The hospital would start with a surgical procedure to correct the deformity in the bones. After that, they
would use specialized corrective braces.
Wearing the braces for about a year and a half, along with some rehabilitation therapy, Lilia would
basically return to normal.
“Now, we need to take a blood sample for testing.”
“Sweetie,e on. I will be waiting outside for you.”
“Okay.” Lilia nodded obediently.
Doctor Carl said gently, “Don’t be nervous. Today, we’re just doing aprehensive examination.
“If surgery is needed, we’ll schedule it for tomorrow.”
“Okay. Thank you, doctor.”
It was very soon.
Lilia changed into a hospital gown and was sent into the examination room.
Joanna and Tatiana and the others were waiting outside.
Then Joanna’s phone rang.
Bruce called again.
“Hello,” Joanna said after she picked up the phone.
“Honey, are you at the hospital?”
“Yes. I’m already at the hospital.”

Bruce’s voice was a little hoarse. “What’s the situation now? Can they proceed with the surgery?”
“Doctor Carl said that we have to do aprehensive examination today. And the surgery might be
scheduled for tomorrow or the day after.”
“Well. How long will it take to recover?”
“That depends on the specific situation. If everything goes well, it will take about a year for Lilia to
“That’s great. Whatever it takes, as long as our daughter can stand up, it’s worth it.”
When Joanna heard this, her heart ached. And she could not help but worry for her daughter.
Lilia had been gued by illness since birth.
She had already undergone more than ten surgeries of various sizes.
Joanna really hoped that fate could show some mercy to Lilia and stop tormenting this unfortunate
child.
“Alright then. I’ll hang up now.
“When will you be done with work?”
Bruce said in a deep voice, “Well. It’s hard to say at the moment. It might take another two weeks to
settle it.”
“Ah, still that long?” After Joanna heard that, her face showed disappointment.
“Yeah. Unfortunately.”
“Alright then.”
Then Joarma hung up the phone.
Bruce rxed his shoulders and immediately called Andy. Then he said to Andy, “Andy, book a flight to
Gaprington immediately.”
He wanted to give Joanna a surprise visit.
