Chapter 324

Jaydon was aware that Joanna was due to arrive today, and he couldn’t contain his excitement, staying awake

throughout the night in anticipation.

As soon as his alarm went off, he wasted no time and dialed Joanna’s number.

Ring, ring, ring!

“Hello, the number you have dialed is currently unavailable. Please try again later…”

Jaydon spent the entire morning attempting to reach Joanna, but all his efforts were in vain. Her phone remained

unresponsive.

A foreboding sensation washed over Jaydon, filling his heart with unease.

Joanna wouldn’t simply ignore his calls without a valid reason.

Jaydon had carefully planned the timing, calling Joanna before she boarded the plane.

But now, five hours had passed, and Joanna’s phone remained consistently unreachable.

Each unanswered call only heightened his sense of dread.

It seemed something significant had occurred.

“Could it be that Bruce has imprisoned Joanna?”

“Has Joann had a change of heart? Is she no longer willing to see me?”

Jaydon was consumed by anxiety, his mind racing with the thought that Bruce might have again caused trouble for

Joanna.

Unable to reach Joanna by phone, he also found it impossible to get in touch with Miranda and Tracy, adding to his

growing

unease.

As noon approached, Jaydon finally succeeded in reaching Miranda on the phone!

“Hello, Mr. Grimm!”

“Miranda, why haven’t you been answering your phone all this time?”

Miranda sniffled and cleared her throat, her voice hoarse. “Oh, I’ve been at the hospital all this time, I didn’t hear

the phone ringing!”

Jaydon’s brow furrowed in concern. “Why has Joann’s phone been consistently unreachable?”

Upon hearing his question, Miranda burst into tears, her sobs intensifying. “Mr. Grimm, something terrible has

happened to Joann.”

Boom!

Jaydon’s heart sank, a wave of unease washing over him. His eyebrows twitched involuntarily. “… What has

happened to Joann?”

“Joann has been involved in an accident, and she’s currently undergoing critical treatment at the hospital!”

Miranda’s voice trembled with emotion, her tears flowing freely.

Jaydon’s mind went blank, a chilling emptiness settling within him. He felt as though he had been plunged into an

icy abyss.

“What’s going on? What has happened to Joann?”

Joann was getting ready to head to the airport this morning, but little did she know, there was a bomb planted in

her car.” “Joann has been critically injured in the explosion and is undergoing life–saving treatment…”

“What?” Jaydon gasped, feeling a chill run down his spine. His mind was buzzing with disbelief.

“How is Joann now? What is her condition?”

Miranda fought back her tears, her voice trembling as she spoke, “Mr. Grimm, Joann is currently in the hospital

undergoing treatment. She just underwent surgery, but she has yet to regain consciousness!”

“The doctor said Joann is in critical condition and needs to be closely monitored in the intensive care unit…”

Her tearful voice accompanied Miranda’s words, but Jaydon couldn’t absorb the rest of her sentence.

The phrase “critically injured” kept reverberating in his mind.

He couldn’t fathom the image it evoked!

“Joann, Joann…” Jaydon’s instinct compelled him to try to get out of bed.

However, to his dismay, his left leg was completely numb, and his right leg didn’t respond as expected!

Losing balance, he clumsily fell to the ground with a heavy thud!

“Mr. Grimm, please be carefull Two nurses hurriedly approached to assess the situation.

“Mr. Grimm, what’s happening? How can we assist you?”

Jaydon’s mind was in a frenzy. “Joann, Joann has been involved in an accident. I need to return to the country

immediately!”

Struggling on the ground, Jaydon desperately tried to stand up. However, his urgency only made it more

challenging

“Mr. Grimm. please try to remain calm…”

Jaydon felt his blood rushing through his veins as he exclaimed hoarsely, “I need to fly back right away! Please, help

me book a plane ticket as soon as possible!”

“Mr. Grimm. it’s crucial that you complete your scheduled rehabilitation treatment today. The doctor emphasized

the importance of maintaining consistency for optimal recovery.”

“I don’t care! Please book a flight for me immediately. Find the earliest available one. I have to go!”

“Joann has been involved in an accident, and I must return to the country right away to be by her side.”

“Mr. Grimm…” the nurses attempted to reason with him, urging him to prioritize his health.

“Go now!” Jaydon’s eyes welled up with determination as he raised his voice.

Sensing his urgency, the nurses nodded in understanding and replied. “Alright, we will make the arrangements

promptly!” Joanna’s involvement in such a grave incident left Jaydon in a state of unease, making it impossible for

him to remain calm and composed. Without wasting a moment, he instructed his assistant to arrange a flight back

to Greyport.

The nurse returned with an update fifteen minutes later. “Mr. Grimm, we have secured your flight back to

Greyport…”

Regrettably, the earliest flight available is scheduled for tomorrow at noon!

It would be at least another two days before he could return to Greyport.

“Isn’t there any way to secure a faster option?”

“I’m afraid the earliest available ticket is for tomorrow afternoon.”

Jaydon closed his eyes, a surge of frustration and helplessness washing over him. Even if he could arrange a private

jet, it would need more time to take off.

The only possibility for a quicker return was to charter a plane.

“Joann, you have to wait for me. Please, wait for me!”

“No matter what happens, I can’t let you face this alone!”

“Mr. Grimm, please try not to be too devastated. Ms. Haynes will undoubtedly pull through.”

Jaydon’s brow furrowed deeply, his eyes ablaze with a deep shade of red.

This was meant to be a day filled with excitement, eagerly awaiting the arrival of his beloved.

However, he could never have anticipated such a devastating turn of events.

A bomb planted in the car!

The mere thought of it was unbearable, leaving him unable to fathom the current state of Joanna.

At Greyport Hospital, Bruce’s complexion turned ashen, his countenance icy and foreboding, overwhelmed by

intense fear.

All his hatred foward Joanna dissipated at that moment q, replaced by a profound sense of worry and care.

If only Joanna could awaken, he truly wished her well. He was ready to let go of their conflicts, see her find

happiness, and shield her from harm.

“Joanna, I won’t allow anything to happen to you. You must wake up! I need you, and our children need you. How

could they ever live without their mother?”

“Mr. Everett…” Andy’s voice trailed off, struggling to find the right words to console Bruce.

“Andy, I need you to investigate immediately and spare no effort in identifying who tampered with the car.”

“We must bring the culprit to justice, no matter what it takes!”

Andy hesitated momentarily before offering his analysis, “The police have already dispatched experts to

investigate. It appears to be a sophisticated homemade explosive device.”

“It was rigged with a timer connected to the engine. Once the car door was opened, the timer would trigger the

countdown.”

Chapter 324

“The individual responsible for constructing the bomb must possess considerable expertise.” “Unfortunately, the

vehicle’s data recorder has not yielded any significant leads.”

Bruce’s face contorted with anger as he furrowed his brow

But for now, Joanna was still in grave danger, and it wasn’t the time to dwell on those matters.

The most crucial thing was to save Joanna’s life.

Joanna, you have to wake up!”

Through the transparent barrier of the intensive care unit, he gazed at Joanna’s motionless form, connected to a

myriad of tubes and monitors.

It had been a day and a night, yet there were no signs of her regaining consciousness.

The following day arrived, and Jaydon swiftly disembarked the plane, accompanied by his entourage, rushing to the

hospital without delay.

“I’m here to see you, Joann. Don’t be afraid. I’ve come to see you.”

Guided by a nurse, Jaydon hurriedly approached the hospital ward.

At the ward’s entrance, Bruce and Jaydon locked gazes, the air thick with intense hatred, as if bitter rivals meeting

after a long absence.

“Bruce, did you do this to Joann? Tell me the truth, was it you?”

“Are you insane? Do you think I would stoop so low as to harm Joanna? You’ve truly lost your mind.”

“It has to be you. No one else could have done this!”

Bruce coldly avoided Jaydon, his gaze piercing through him. The weight of worry and concern for Joanna had left no

room for petty arguments or disputes.

He had spent the entire previous day and night in the hospital room, unable to find solace even for a moment.

“Mr. Grimm, you’ve misunderstood Mr. Everett.”

“Joanna is still in critical condition, and now is not the time for conflicts or accusations.”

Jaydon’s heart was heavy with pain, the anguish cutting deep. “When will Joann wake up?

“Joann, how could it come to this? How could things have turned out this way?”

Bruce fixed a chilling, resentful gaze on Jaydon. “It’s all because of you! If Joanna hadn’t gone to see you, none of

this would have happened.”

“Because of me?” Jaydon shot back, his anger blazing in his eyes as he confronted Bruce.

“Bruce, did you have something to do with the tampering of Joann’s car?”

“Her car was damaged because of your reckless driving, and you were the one who arranged for its repairs!”

“And now this car has exploded. Are you seriously claiming to have no involvement in this?”

Bruce seethed with fury, his teeth grinding together, as he lunged forward, ready to unleash his wrath upon Jaydon.

Their respective bodyguards swiftly stepped in, preventing them from engaging in physical violence.

Bruce seethed with anger, his eyes burning with intensity as his heart clenched in pain. He couldn’t fathom hurting

Joanna, let alone using such a despicable and cruel method!

Moreover, he had always loved Joanna. It would be in the business realm if he had to confront her. How could he

ever contemplate harming her life, let alone taking it away?

“Mr. Everett, Mr. Grimm, please cease this quarrel!”

“I understand that both of you deeply care for Joann, but now is not the time for arguments.”

“At this moment, nothing is more important than Joann’s recovery. Let us focus on getting her through this critical

phase, and we can address any other issues later.”

“Hmph!”

They huffed, gazes locking in a standoff filled with disdain and indifference.

The arrival of the doctor coincided with their presence.

“Doctor, how is the patient? What’s her condition?”

“Ms. Haynes has yet to regain consciousness. It would be best if you were mentally prepared. If she doesn’t wake

up within a week, there’s a possibility Ms. Haynes might…”

Chapter 324

“No, that can’t be true! Joann won’t die. She absolutely won’t!”

“She will wake up. I have this strong belief” Jaydon’s voice quivered as tears welled in his eyes, unable to be

contained.

Upon hearing the devastating news, Bruce sank into the chair, his spirits crushed.

If only Joanna could come back to life.

He would willingly release his grip, grant her freedom, and sincerely wish her happiness.

“Joanna… Bruce closed his eyes in torment, struggling to find the right words, yet none could escape his lips.
