Chapter 858
Bruce wanted to check if Joanna was flirting with other men behind his back.
Thinking about this, Bruce snorted.
He thought inwardly, “If I find out she has feelings for other men, even just a little bit, she will be in big
trouble.”
Actually, Bruce also wanted to give his daughter a surprise. His daughter’s surgery was such a big
deal, so he naturally had to be present to apany her.
It was very soon.
Andy called back. He asked, “Mr. Everett, the earliest flight is at four in the morning. Would you like to
book it?”
“I want the fastest route. How long does this flight take?”
“Well. This is the fastest flight. It takes 11 hours.”
“Then book this flight.”
“Okay, Mr. Everett.”
Bruce nned to fly from Greyport to Palisrian City.
Due to different airlines and aircraft types, the fastest one took only 10 hours, while a slower option
would take around 15
hours.
Bruce checked the time. If he headed to the airport now, he would make it just in time.
By tomorrow afternoon, he should arrive at his destination.
Meanwhile, Joanna was at the hospital.
Lilia hadpleted a series of examinations.
“Doctor, how are the test results?”
Doctor Carl looked at various reports. “Well. They meet the requirements for the surgery.
“Now, we need to do some preoperative preparations. And the earliest we can schedule the surgery is
on Wednesday at 10 in the morning”.
Joanna asked in a low voice, “Wednesday? Isn’t that the day after tomorrow?”
“Yes.”
“Alright then.”
“Well. Now we can handle the hospital admission procedures.” After Doctor Carl finished speaking, he
smiled at Joanna gently.
“Lilian, go and take care of the admission procedures.”
Lilian nodded. “Okay, Miss Haynes.”
“Doctor, can we go back now? Is there anything else?”
The doctor nodded. “Of course, you can go back. You can juste here on the morning of the day
after tomorrow.”
“Okay. Thank you, doctor.”
Joanna politely bid farewell to the doctor and left the examination room with Lilia.
There was nothing to do today, so they could go back to the hotel.
“Sweetie, don’t be afraid, okay?”
Lilia smiled sweetly. “Okay. I won’t be afraid.”
“Is there anything you’d like to do? I can take you out to y tomorrow.”
When Lilia heard this, a hint of disappointment appeared on her cute little face. She said, “Well. I just
miss Daddy a little.
“It would be great if Daddy could be here with me for the surgery.”
Joanna rubbed her daughter’s head and said gently, “Well. Your daddy is busy with work now. So it
might be another two or three weeks before he cane.”
After hearing that, Lilia was a little disappointed. But she was very sensible.
“I know that Daddy has to work hard to earn money to support the family. Of course, I won’t me him.
“I just miss Daddy a little.”
When Joanna heard this, she smiled with emotion.
It was often said that daughters were closer to their fathers. It was true.
Davian and Irvin were not so close to their daddy.
“Then let’s go. We’lle back here on the morning of the day after tomorrow.”
“Alright.”
Actually, they hadpleted the hospital admission procedures.
However, the hospital’s conditions were still not asfortable as the hotel’s.
They could continue to stay in the hotel today and tomorrow. On the morning of the day after tomorrow,
they woulde to the hospital on time..
Then they were back at the hotel.
It was already past four in the afternoon.
“What do you want to eat tonight?” Joanna asked her daughter with concern.
After all, Lilia was going to undergo surgery the day after tomorrow. Joanna wanted to fulfill her
daughter’s small requests as much as possible.
Lilia thought for a moment. “Well. I’m not used to Gaprington’s cuisine. I still want to eat Flech cuisine.”
“Okay. Let me check if there’s a Flech cuisine restaurant nearby.”
As they were talking, something unexpected happened.
Suddenly, an attractive male voice came from ahead. “Hello.”
Joanna was stunned.
Then she looked up.
Prince Harman was standing in the small garden opposite her, gazing at her affectionately.
The hotel’s interior followed a resort vi management style,plete with a garden, a swimming pool,
a restaurant, and so
1.
The environment was very good.
“Are you greeting us?” Joanna subconsciously asked.
“Yes.” Prince Harman’s smile grew wider.
The bodyguards beside him seemed to have disappeared.
“Can we get to know each other?”
“Well.” Joanna’s eyes flickered when she heard that.
At first, she thought Prince Harman’s greetings were merely coincidental.
But now, she felt that Prince Harman might indeed have ulterior motives.
“I’m sorry, but I’m already married.” Joanna smiled and shed the big diamond ring on her ring finger
at him.

Actually, she and Bruce had not remarried yet.
However, the matter of the two of them remarrying was already set in stone. She didn’t want to
Actually, Joanna didn’t like to wear jewelry.
But she couldn’t resist Bruce’s insistence and had to put on her wedding ring.
When Prince Harman heard this, he smiled awkwardly and replied in Antlenish, “Please don’t
misunderstand. I just want to be friends with you. I want to understand foreign cultures. I don’t mean
anything else.”
When Joanna heard this, her face subconsciously turned red. It seemed that she was overthinking.
“Hello.” Joanna took the initiative to shake his hand.
If it was just about being friends, she was certainly open to it.
After all, he was the prince of Saumi Cradia. It was a good opportunity to be friends with the prince.
Prince Harman shook hands with Joanna gently. Then he took out a gold-ted business card from his
pocket. “This is my
business card. Please keep it.
“I’m very interested in foreign culture. I’m going to your country for an international exchange event in
your country in thetter half of the year.
“So, I wanted to get an early understanding of the local customs and culture.”
Prince Harman was very courteous.
“Wee,” Joanna replied politely and took the business card from Prince Harman.
Prince Harman smiled warmly at her, with a glint of cunning in his eyes.
He thought inwardly, “This ssic beauty said that she was married.
“However, I had already gotten someone to investigate her background. Most of what I found were
news articles portraying Joanna as someone who used any means necessary to climb the social
Therefore, Prince Harman firmly believed that Joanna was a vain and ambitious woman.
Moreover, she had yet to remarry her ex-husband.
But none of that mattered to him. What he was interested in was Joanna’s beauty.
As long as Joanna was a vain woman, he was confident that he could win her over.
Men who enjoyed pursuing attractive women often preferred challenging conquests. The more difficult
the target, the greater their interest.
Seeing this foreign man trying to hit on her mommy again, Lilia was very displeased. She pouted and
said, “Well. Mommy, we should go back to our room.”
Joanna snapped out of it and said, “Goodbye.”
Prince Harman promptly added, “If you have time, we could have a coffee together and chat. I’m
particrly interested in finding a local guide from your country.”
“Well. How about this? This is my personal bodyguard and assistant. You can have her introduce you
to our country,” Joanna said and nced at Tatiana.
Seeing this, Prince Harman smiled gently. “Alright then. Thank you very much.”
“Tatiana, exin the basic customs of our country to this gentleman.”
“Okay, Miss Haynes.”
Joanna smiled faintly and didn’t say anything else. Then she left with her daughter.
After that, they returned to their room.
Lilia still had a serious expression on her face. “Mommy, I knew that this foreign man would definitely
have ulterior motives toward you.
“Mommy, don’t fall for his tricks.”
“You little girl, what are you thinking at such a young age?” Joanna was a little worried.
Lilia knew too much.
This was not a good sign.
“Well. Mommy, I don’t want you to be with any man other than Daddy.”
“Don’t worry. I don’t have that much charm.”
As Joanna spoke, she took off her coat and prepared to change her clothes.
Lilia had already picked up the phone and was about to call her daddy toin.
Then Lilia dialed the number.
“Hello. The number you have dialed is currently unavable…” A voice came from the other end of the
phone.
“Well, Why can’t I get through to Daddy’s phone?” Lilia asked.
“Your daddy might be at Mossbourne. Once he’s done with his business, he’ll definitely call us back,”
Joanna said.
“Alright.”
After that, they finished dinner.
Joanna checked nearby attractions again and nned to take Lilia for a stroll tomorrow.
It was half past nine in the evening.
Most of them were getting ready for bed.
Joanna was in the bedroom.
After showering, Joanna applied a sheet mask and prepared to sleep.
She slept until midnight, in a drowsy state, when she heard a faint noise.
There was a rustling sound outside the door. It seemed that someone was fiddling with the lock on the
door.
Joanna was a light sleeper. And any little noise could startle her awake.
Upon hearing the sounds, she instantly broke into a cold sweat and quickly strained her ears.
The sound of someone twisting the lock repeated once more.
There really was someone attempting to open her door.
However, Joanna had locked the door from the inside. So the intruder couldn’t open it right away. Then
Joanna asked, “Who’s there?”
