The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 580

During this period, she used the excuse of insomnia to get the doctor to prescribe her some sleeping pills. However,

instead of consuming them, she secretly saved up the sleeping pills.

When she finally got the chance today, she had mixed the sleeping pills into the dishes and red wine.

After eating the drugged food, the servants and nurses had fallen asleep one by one.

Here, Joanna quickly threw aside her blanket and sat up in bed.

She had been recuperating for over a month, and the fracture in her calf was much better. Although she could not

exercise much, she was already able to walk.

Despite this, she had been pretending to everyone else that she was still unable to do so. She could not let anyone

find out how fast she was recovering.

Joanna picked up the medicine bag next to her and walked straight to the bathroom.

She pushed open the window.

There was a ten-foot drop to the lawn below.

It would not be realistic for her to jump out of the window.

Thankfully, Joanna had already drawn up a plan beforehand. She stripped the bed of the sheets and duvet covers

and tore the fabric into strips. Then, she tied these strips together using a dead knot, forming a long rope.

She tied the rope securely to the window frame and threw the other end of it out of the window. Carefully, she

climbed out of the window and slid down the rope she had just made.

After landing safely. Joanna sighed heavily. She felt as though she had just escaped from a cage.

Soon, Joanna changed into a nurse’s uniform, put on a mask, and slipped out of the hospital through the back door.

The next day, the servants and nurses finally woke up, feeling exceptionally dizzy.

Alan patted his head groggily and couldn’t help but complain, “Gosh, the wine was way too strong. Did everyone fall

asleep?” The nurses and servants were responsible for Joanna and usually took it in shifts at night. However, all four

of them had fallen asleep yesterday night.

Alan subconsciously looked at the bed, only to find that Joanna was already gone.

Immediately, he panicked and shook his colleagues awake. ‘Where’s Mrs. Joanna?”

“Oh, my God. Madam’s gone!”

“Stop sleeping! Wake up. Something big has happened. Madam is missing…”

The other three also got up in a daze.

Looking at the empty bed, their hearts skipped a beat. Instantly, they no longer felt sleepy.

“What happened to Mrs. Joanna?”

“Mrs. Joanna is missing, hurry up and go look for her!”

The four of them panicked and split up to search.

There were four bodyguards standing guard at the door. They were responsible for guarding the door day and night

for Joanna’s protection.

Nina rushed out and asked them, “Did you guys see Mrs. Joanna exit this room?”

One of the bodyguards shook his head blankly when he heard her. “No. Isn’t Mrs. Joanna always in the ward?”

When Nina heard this, she was so anxious that she nearly burst into tears. “Oh no, Mrs. Joanna is missing!”

“What?” The four bodyguards were also shocked.

“Mrs. Joanna is gone…”

“You can’t be serious!”

The bodyguards hurried into the ward to search for her.

As expected, Joanna had already disappeared from the ward.

“How could a whole person disappear from the ward without a trace? You must have been complacent in your

work!”

The bodyguards and nurses started to blame one another.

Suddenly, Alan shouted from the washroom. “Oh no, come here! The window in the washroom has been removed

from its frame!”

“Mrs. Joanna must have escaped through the window!”

When the others heard this, they hurried into the washroom immediately.

“Mrs. Joanna made a rope and used it to climb out of the window.”

“What’s wrong with the both of you? She must have made a huge commotion. Didn’t you hear her at all?”

“We ate the food that Mrs. Joanna brought over yesterday night. The moment we finished eating, we fell asleep

immediately. I think she must have drugged the food with sleeping pills.”

“What should we do? Hurry up and call Mr. Everett.”

“Oh… right, I’ll do that right now.”

The nurses and bodyguards were so worried that they were practically frothing at the mouth.

Their mission was to protect and watch over Joanna Now that she had disappeared, they could not absolve

themselves from the blame. With Mr. Everett’s bad temper, they were surely going to get into huge trouble.

Meanwhile, Bruce went to work at the Everett Group at 8:30 am as usual.

As it often did, his day started with a meeting with the higher-ups. “Today’s meeting centers around five main topics

of

discussion…”

Beep beep beep!

Bruce’s phone vibrated.

In the past, he would never listen to the phone while in a meeting. But these days, he was worried about Joanna.

Therefore, he always carried his phone with him no matter what he was busy with

Bruce picked up his phone and looked at the screen. It was a call from the hospital. He subconsciously frowned and

quickly answered. “Hello”

The bodyguard’s trembling voice could be heard on the other end of the phone. “Mr. Everett… I have some bad

news.” Bruce’s eyes widened as he had a sudden bad premonition.

“What happened?

“It’s Mrs Joanna she has disappeared”

In a second. Bruce felt as though his brain had exploded. It was as though someone had shot him in the heart and

plunged him into a freezing abyss

“Have you all looked for her? How did she disappear?”

The bodyguard said timidly. “Mrs Joanna climbed out of the washroom window. We can’t find her now…”

“What?” Bruce shouted and shot up from his seat. He was so angry that the leather swivel chair slid away from him

and slammed into the wall behind hurn.

When everyone saw this, they were so frightened that their hearts skipped a beat. They watched helplessly as Mr.

Everett strode away

“What happened?”

“Mr. Everett, what’s wrong? Why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

The higher-ups beside Bruce had gotten a rough gist of the phone conversation. “I think something happened at the

hospital!”

“Huh? Mr. Everett is so anxious. Did Miss Haynes have a miscarriage?”

“Shut up! If Mr. Everett hears about this, you’ll suffer.”

Twenty minutes later, Bruce arrived at the hospital, having rushed there as quickly as possible.

In the ward, the bodyguards and nurses waited for him, scared out of their wits.

“What should we do? Hurry up and check the surveillance cameras to see if Mrs. Joanna has left the hospital!”

“Why did she run away for no reason?”

They were discussing anxiously when Bruce suddenly walked in with a stormy expression.

His handsome facial features seemed to be frozen. He looked like an alpha wolf in the desert, exuding a sinister and

murderous aura.

“M…Mr. Everett!”

“Have you found her?”

“Well, n…no,” the bodyguard stammered.

Bruce looked at him contemptuously. “A worthless bunch. With so many of you around, how could you have let her

disappear like that?”

“We… we…”

Bruce was too anxious to hold them accountable right now. “Hurry up and find her.”

“Yes, Mr. Everett.

Soon, all the nurses and bodyguards of the Everett family had joined the search for Joanna Haynes.

“Joanna, Joanna…” Bruce’s eyes were bloodshot as he punched the bed frame.

He knew that Joanna had not forgiven him.

No wonder she had been behaving like a docile lamb. As it turned out, she had been planning her great escape the

whole

time.

She deliberately pretended to reconcile with him so he would let down his guard.
