Chapter 779 “...” Joanna was instantly petrified.
Bruce took a deep breath and said emotionally, “If you dare to marry that annoying person, | won't die in peace even if | go to the netherworld.” “Ah, it hurts so much... just let me die quickly. | don’t want to live anymore. There's no point in living,” said Bruce. His face became even more grim, giving the impression that he might pass away.
“...” Joanna was speechless.
She knew that he was pretending.
But it was not entirely an act. After all, his lips were pale and devoid of any color. The wound on his left shoulder was gruesome, enough to shock anyone who saw it.
“Alright, let's not talk about this anymore. You're so detestable! Even the Grim Reaper would not dare to take you.” “I'm really in pain. | swear that if | am pretending, I'll be struck by lightning,” Bruce said as he looked at Joanna pitifully.
His eyes were bloodshot, and he looked haggard and sloppy.
Seeing this, her heart couldn't help but soften.
Joanna's lips trembled, and she quickly went forward to check. “Where does it hurt? Hurry, and let me take a look. How did / this happen? Where are Darcy and the others?” 4 Bruce looked at her with a sad and deep gaze. He held her hand and held it to his heart. “It hurts/here. It hurts so much that I'm about to die.” “You don’t know how to cherish your man. When he dies, you will be a widow.” Joanna choked.
Joanna felt a headache coming on. She was speechless.
She felt like she was sitting on a roller coaster, spiraling around in the air. There were all kinds of feelings.
“Honey, don't look at me so fiercely! I'm really in pain. | almost couldn’t come back.” “lam either-thinking of you or our children. | might die overseas. If | do, you won't even have the chance to collect my body.” “Shut up, stop talking about this. What was going on? How did it end up like this?” Joanna immediately covered his mouth with her hand.
People say good things don’t come true, but bad things do. So, never speak inauspicious words.
“Honey, can you forgive me?” Bruce looked into her eyes.
Joanna's face darkened.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“If you still don’t forgive me, | might die of pain.” Bruce blinked twice, revealing an innocent expression. He looked like a little puppy that needed its mother’s protection.
He was a completely different person from the crazy look he had when he lost control just now.
Just now, she felt that she was going to be tortured to death by him.
Perhaps it had been too long since he had been intimate with her, so he could not control himself. Until now, her entire body was weak and soft. If it weren't for the serious injury he sustained, she would probably have fallen asleep from exhaustion by now.
This man, | don’t know how many faces he’s hiding. He always surprised me with his interrogations, making my heart ache.
Seeing Joanna's softened gaze, Bruce knew she had completely softened her heart. If he added more persuasion, he could make her completely yield.
“Ouch, just let me die of pain.” “My poor children. They will be losing their father at such a young age...” “If you keep saying these inauspicious things, | will sew your mouth with a needle.” “You deserve to die from the pain. You asked for it,” Joanna said as she quickly applied medicine to him.
Seeing this, Bruce smiled smugly and closed his eyes in satisfaction.
When this woman was angry, she could not be coaxed, no matter how hard he tried.
Indeed, the trick of pretending to be injured never fails.
However, it's a bitter act. It was not something an ordinary person could endure.
Fifteen minutes later.
Dr. Dotson rushed over with the first aid kit.
“Miss Haynes, what's wrong with Mr. Everett?” Joanna explained his situation anxiously. “He’s injured and refuses to go to the hospital no matter what. Hurry up and take a look at him.” “Oh, okay.” Dr. Dotson tensed up. He quickly went over to examine Bruce.
After looking at the wound.
Dr. Dotson frowned. “Oh my, this looks like a gunshot wound.” “Yes, he ran into robbers abroad.” Joanna believed Bruce's story.
“Why are the stitches broken? You've got to stitch it up quickly and treat the inflammation, or it could lead to an infection, which would be troublesome...” When Joanna heard this, she became even more nervous. “Please, Dr. Dotson. Please treat him. Don't leave any aftereffects.” “Miss Haynes, don’t worry. It'll be fine.” As Dr. Dotson spoke, he quickly opened the first aid kit and began to treat Bruce's inflammation...
Ten minutes later.
Bruce's wound had been treated.
“Mr. Everett's wound is already inflamed. We have to reduce the swelling and inflammation first.” “There’s no way to stitch it up for the time being. Don’t do any strenuous exercise for the next few days. Otherwise, it'll be even more troublesome if the wound breaks open again.” “Yes, | understand.” Joanna nodded hurriedly.
Dr. Dotson glanced at the messy bed and the tissues on the ground that had not been cleaned up. / He complained in his heart, “Mr. Everett is too extreme. He's already injured to this extent, yet he’s still in the mood to do that?” “He is reckless.” “Alright, | will give him an anti-inflammatory injection now. | will come over again tomorrow to change Mr. Everett's dressing.” “Alright, thank you for coming over, Dr. Dotson.” “No worries.” After Dr. Dotson finished speaking, he bid farewell and left.
The doctor left.
Davian, Irvin, and Lilia had already finished school.
“Hey, is this not Daddy’s car?” “Is Daddy back?” “He might be.” “Miranda, is Daddy back?” “Well, yes.” “Really?” The two boys asked in surprise.
Miranda was also happy. “It is true. He is in the room upstairs now.” ‘Oh, that is great. Daddy is finally home.” was worried that Daddy will be charmed away by a vixen. Thank goodness, Daddy is finally back,” Davian and Irvin said as they ran happily to the room on the second floor.
Seeing this, Lilia also walked up to the second floor happily. “Davian! Irvin! Please wait for me. Do not run so fast.
Unfortunately, she was walking on an electronic prosthetic leg. So she could not run as fast as her brothers.
“Miss Lilia, I will carry you!” On the second floor...
“Bang, bang!” The two little boys knocked on the door excitedly.
“Mommy, open the door. Is Daddy back? We miss Daddy so much. Open the door quickly.” In the room.
Bruce and Joanna heard the children’s voices. “The children are here. Be serious.” Joanna said and quickly went to open the door.
Crack! The door opened.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmDavian and Irvin ran in excitedly. “Wow, Daddy is back.” “Mommy, when did Daddy come back?” “Around today afternoon!” “Haha, that is great. Daddy, we missed you so much.” The two little boys stood at the door and chattered. They heir heads out and looked into the bedroom.
The bedroom was huge.
They could only see the bed and his daddy lying on it.
Bruce had given Davian and Irvin strict orders not to enter Mommy and Daddy's room without permission.
Therefore, the little boys only dared to chatter at the door and did not dare to enter rashly.
Although it had been a while since they saw their Daddy, Bruce’s authority still lingered.
“Why did Daddy go to bed so early?” Joanna said gently, “Be good. Daddy just came back from a business trip. He wants to sleep now.” “Don't disturb Daddy first. Let Daddy rest, okay?” “...” When the two little boys heard this, they looked unhappy.
Their daddy had just returned, and they were extremely excited.
They wanted to play with their daddy now, but they did not expect their daddy to be sleeping so soon.
As they were speaking.
Someone carried Lilia to the door.
“Daddy, are you back?” Lilia’s clear voice sounded.
Bruce was originally very tired. Coupled with the high fever, he was already sleepy.
He was not interested in the enthusiasm of the two brats. After all, he needed to rest now.
But now, he heard his daughter's voice.
It was as if he had been injected with adrenaline. He struggled to sit up.
“My precious Lilia, come in quickly. Daddy missed you so much.” When Davian and Irvin heard this, they looked depressed.
