Chapter 44 Return Of Ex-wife

• “That woman sure is long–winded and annoying!” The truth was, Margaret had nothing but disdain for a woman like Ingrid. When Raymond was alive, she had been kind and tolerant to the Haynes family, all for Raymond’s sake. However, now that Raymond was dead, the Everett family obviously had no relations with Shaun and his wife anymore. Margaret was merely maintaining a good relationship with them for the sake of Raymond. However, to Margaret, Ingrid simply had no tact. An accident had just happened that almost scared her to death, yet Ingrid brought up the subject of marriage at this time. Ingrid couldn’t have made her intentions clearer. “How is Joanna?” “Joanna?” Margaret was stunned. Bruce frowned, and his lips quivered as he muttered, “She was in the accident with me.”
• “But I didn’t see her!” Hearing that, Bruce struggled to sit up and get out of bed. Seeing this, Margaret quickly stopped him. “You have to lie down. You’re still on the IV drip! You’ve been hurt so badly. Where do you think you are going?” “I’m going to see her!” “Don’t move! Let’s just call the nurse over and ask about her.” With that, Margaret pressed the beeper. A minute later, a nurse hurried in. “Mr. Everett, what do you need?” This hospital was run by the Everett family, so all the doctors and nurses knew Bruce. “What happened to the lady I came here with?” “Oh! She has had some stitches and has left the hospital.” Bruce listened with a frown. “What? She’s out of the hospital?” “Well, yes! A man has just picked her up!” Bruce fell silent. His brows scrunched into a frown, and he felt as if he had been stabbed in the heart. Through this accident, he finally realized he seemed to have been in love with the wrong person.
• The girl who rescued him from the pool ten years ago was Joanna, not Roxanne. He had been mistaken all these years. “Bru, don’t worry! There’s probably no major problem with her, and that must be why she was discharged from the hospital. By the way, didn’t I ask you to have her bring her two kids over to see me? How come there’s been no news about that for so many days?” “She wouldn’t!” The moment Margaret heard that her eyes narrowed as she froze, “She wouldn’t?” “Yes” This girl has got a real temper, hasn’t she? She reminds me of myself back in the day!” The truth was, if those kids were real flesh and blood of the Everett family, it would be as if a gift had fallen from heaven and into Joanna’s lap! In fact, even if they were not flesh and blood of the Everett family, she would still have nothing to lose if she went to visit Margaret. “Grandma, I’m so confused right now. I want to be alone to sort out my thoughts!”
