Chapter 459

As Joanna listened to Marlowe’s frivolous banter, her face instinctively darkened.

She despised men with frivolous behavior.

Especially when they were only acquaintances that were not close at all.

“After all these years, Ms. Haynes is still so beautiful. It seems like nothing has changed on you.”

Joanna felt a lump in her throat, not knowing how to respond.

Tatiana, who was beside her, reminded her, “Miss Haynes, we should go. It’s getting latel

Every time Joanna went out, she would go with Tatiana. In addition to that, Bruce had also arranged four

bodyguards to accompany her at all times.

However, she had chosen not to bring the bodyguards with her this time since it would be too showy.

“We rarely have a chance to meet each other; how about we chat for a bit?”

“Thanks, but I have something else to do. I need to go now,” Joanna politely declined and walked directly to the

parking shed with Tatiana.

Marlowe kept badgering her, and he casually handed her a business card. “This is my contact information. Let’s

keep in

touch!”

“Oh, okay.” Joanna replied casually and took the business card without much thought.

“Aren’t you going to leave me your business card, Ms. Haynes? Maybe we’ll meet each other frequently in the

future.”

Joanna glanced at the gold–stamped business card and said apathetically, “Sorry, I just ran out of business cards!”

Marlowe seemed unable to sense her refusal and smiled ambiguously. “That’s okay. We can exchange Messenger

and stay in touch anytime.”

Joanna frowned. She didn’t really like adding unfamiliar people on Messenger, especially considering that Marlowe

and Bruce were archenemies.

Moreover, Bruce had a volatile temperament and loved to be jealous.

If he found it out, he would probably get mad again.

“Oh, I’m sorry. My phone is out of battery, and I’m in a hurry now, so I have to go.”

Saying that, Joanna opened the car door and got in.

“You have to do that to me?”

Tatiana started the car directly and said coldly, “Sorry, please make way.”

Marlowe smiled resentfully and said, “Bye, we will meet again.”

Tatiana stepped on the accelerator and drove away.

“What a strange encounter. How did I run into him?” Joanna furrowed her brows, looking quite annoyed.

It was nearly noon! She needed to hurry to the hospital; otherwise, Lilia would be worried.

As he watched Joanna’s car driving away, an eerie smile appeared at the corner of Marlowe’s eyes.

His assistant joked, “Président Yanice, I heard that Bruce still loves his ex–wife and wants to remarry her!

“But for some reason, she has been rejecting him.”

Marlowe’s eyebrows raised even higher when he heard that. “Heh, I didn’t expect Bruce to be such a spoony,

actually wanting to go back to his ex.”

When he was in prison, Bruce and Joanna hadn’t been married yet!

Unexpectedly, after his release, they had broken up and reconciled several times.

“Yeah! His daughter has leukemia, and he personally donated bone marrow to her. I heard he’s going to donate

again.”

“Interesting! Neither have I expected Bruce to be such a loving father.” Saying that, Marlowe sneered coldly, and

his pupils flashed with a wicked light. “Bruce, I’m going to take everything from you. Anything you like, I will snatch

away.

“Even if I can’t snatch it, I will destroy it all.”

It was at the hospital.

At noon, Joanna hurriedly arrived at the hospital.

Chapter 459

Lilia, Mommy’s here.”

“Mommy, why did you come so late?”

“Oh, I went to buy the egg tarts for you. There was traffic on the way. I’m sorry, my sweetheart.”

“Wow, you bought egg tarts for me?”

“Yes! You wanted to eat Portuguese egg tarts, right? Mommy bought them specially for you.”

Lilia’s eyes lit up as she said sweetly. “Thank you, Mommy.”

Joanna’s eyes were filled with endless tenderness. She quickly opened the box and took out the egg tarts.

“Wow, they smell so good!” Lilia greedily sniffed them.

Since she had recently undergone chemotherapy, there were many things she couldn’t eat. So, just smelling the

aroma made. her happy.

“You can only eat a little bit. When you get better, you can eat as much as you want.”

“Okay, Mommy, I know.”

Joanna took a spoon and picked the softest part of the egg tart, gently took a bite, and brought it to her daughter’s

mouth.

Lilia couldn’t eat too much, so Joanna wanted her to taste the flavor.

It was 2 PM in the afternoon.

“Bang!” The door of the ward was pushed open, and Bruce walked in.

Joanna was taken aback. “Did you finish work so early?”

“Um!” Bruce walked into the hospital room, took off his suit, and sat exhaustedly on the couch.

“Daddy!” Lilia called out in a sweet voice.

“Good girl!” Bruce would usually play around with his daughter.

But today, he was exceptionally tired, so he leaned back on the couch, supporting his head with his hand.

Seeing this, Joanna couldn’t help but ask with concern, “What’s wrong?”

“I have a headache!” Bruce said, rubbing his temples with his hand.

He had been in meetings all morning, and his head felt like it was about to explode.

“Do you want to take a painkiller?”

“I don’t want to take medication. It can become addictive if I take it too often.”

“Then let me massage it for you.”

“Okay.”

Joanna walked over and gently massaged his temples.

In less than two minutes, Bruce changed his position and rested his head on her lap.
