Chapter 460
Smelling the faint fresh fragrance on Joanna’s body and feeling her gentle fingertips, Bruce felt incredibly relaxed.
Joanna massaged him for less than ten minutes, and Bruce began to emit a faint snoring sound.
He had actually fallen asleep.
Seeing Bruce asleep, Joanna let out a sigh and continued to massage his head.
Normally, he was always energetic, rarely showing signs of fatigue.
Now, he was sleeping so soundly, indicating that he was truly under a lot of pressure.
The incident with the reporter, although it had been clarified and the Everett Group had released the actual
surveillance video, it had still caused a considerable negative impact.
Even the police chief personally called him, advising him to handle the aftermath without drawing too much
attention.
And the Independent Commission Against Corruption had launched a thorough investigation. They had already
come to the company to collect financial records and various registered contracts.
The situation in Greyport was stormy, and the impact of public opinion was even greater in Mossbourne.
If he couldn’t handle the aftermath properly. Bruce could really end up in a bad situation. Currently, he was like a
high–speed train. If it derailed, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Bruce slept for half an hour before suddenly jolting awake.
“Why did I fall asleep?”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“If you’re tired, it’s okay to sleep!”
Bruce yawned and rubbed his eyes while still half–asleep. “How long did I sleep?”
“Just half an hour.”
“Oh!”
“Get up quickly. My legs are numb.” Joanna said, frowning as she pushed his head off her lap.
His head was as heavy as a giant hammer, and it was getting difficult to bear it on her legs.
Bruce stood up and stretched his limbs. “Ah, that nap was really comfortable. It’s more effective than sleeping for
several hours at night.”
“Lilia, my good girl! Here I am!”
“Shh, Lilia is also asleep. Don’t wake her up.”
“Oh, okay.” Bruce immediately quieted down, lowering his head to check on his daughter.
“I wish our daughter would get better soon.”
Just as Bruce was feeling emotional, his phone vibrated in his pocket.
He took out his phone and saw that it was from Zachary,
“I’ll go out to take the call!”
“Alright, go ahead!” Joanna replied casually.
Bruce took the call and left the hospital room.
“Hello, Zachary, what’s up?”
On the other end of the line, Zachary chuckled, “Ah Bruce, what’s been going on lately? I’ve been calling you, but
you never answered.”
“Oh, is there something going on? I’ve been busy lately!”
“Yeah, you’re so busy, it’s not easy to reach you these days.” Zachary teased over the phone.
“What’s the matter? Just spill it!”
Zachary changed his teasing tone and asked with concern, “I heard that your daughter is sick. Is she getting better
now?”
“She’s still undergoing treatment.”
“Well, don’t worry. With the medical advancements nowadays, she’ll definitely get better.”
Bruce furrowed his brow. “I hope so.”

Chapter 460
By the way, I know a pediatric expert who specializes in treating leukemia. Do you want me to introduce you to
him?”
Bruce’s eyes lit up. “Really? What’s his name?”
“He’s a Melta pediatrician. How about I arrange an appointment for you. I’ll give you his contact information.”
“Just tell me over the phone, and I’ll check his background.”
After all, he knew only the top pediatricians, and he didn’t bother with the lesser–known ones.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Don’t worry! I’ll introduce you to one of the best pediatric experts. Even if it doesn’t help, it won’t do any harm.”
“By the way, it’s been a while since we last met. I really miss you.”
“Heh.” Bruce chuckled dryly. “Why would you miss me? I’m not a woman.”
“Come on. We’re the best of buddies. You know, brotherhood always outweigh womankind.
“Alright, alright, stop with the nonsense.”
Zachary spoke primly. “Why don’t you come to my club tonight? Let’s have a party.”
“Um… Bruce hesitated. At this moment, he didn’t really want to go to a nightclub.
Especially after the last time he went to a nightclub, Joanna was very angry.
If he met Zachary again, he would probably be persuaded to drink again.
Perhaps sensing Bruce’s hesitation. Zachary quickly added, “Don’t worry! We won’t drink tonight, and there won’t
be any women. I’ll only drink coffee you. Is that alright?”
“Emm, okay then.”
“Mr. Everett, when did you become a henpeck? If this gets out, you will be laughed at.”
“Enough, let’s not talk about that. See you tonight.”
“Yeah, see you tonight, don’t stand me up.”
“Don’t worry! I’ll hang up now.” Bruce finished speaking and hung up the phone.
Back in the hospital room, Joanna was still taking care of Lilia. As she saw him return, she asked subconsciously,
“Whose call
was it?”
“Oh, it was Zachary.”
Joanna’s eyes rolled, and her face instantly darkened.
“He just called me and said he knows a Melta pediatrician who specializes in treating leukemia. He is going to
introduced him to me.”
