Bruce squatted down next to them. His face showed hints of fatigue and numbness. He did not know how to reply
to his kids.
Irvin asked hesitantly, “Daddy, does Mommy not want us anymore?”
Davian immediately retorted, “No, Mommy won’t abandon us!”
Meanwhile, Lilia poured and cried, “I want Mommy, I want Mommy!”
“Don’t cry, kids. Mommy will come back soon!” Bruce gently hugged his daughter to comfort her.
The four of them snuggled together, looking sad and aggrieved.
The butler hurried in and announced excitedly. “Mr. Everett, good news!”
Bruce’s eyes lit up. “What good news?”
“Someone just called to say he found Mrs. Joanna at a homestay on Newton Street.”

Bruce put his daughter down and did not delay for another second. “Hurry up and find her!” he said anxiously.
“Daddy, we want to go too!”
“Be good and stay at home. Behave yourselves while I’m gone.” Bruce said and hurriedly left with the butler.
Half an hour later, Brace arrived at the homestay in the suburbs.
He was with an entourage of bodyguards and servants.
“Where is she?” Bruce asked anxiously.

“She left this behind,” she quickly brought over Joanna’s medicine.
“Mark, go and check immediately what’s in this medicinel” Bruce instructed.
Mark looked closer and replied worriedly, “Mr. Everett, the formula is abortion medicine.”
Boom!
Bruce staggered and almost lost his balance; his heart hurt instantly.
“How dare you, Joanna?”
“Urgh!” Bruce could feel a stream of air rushing to his throat, but he forced it back down.
“Mr. Everett, Mr. Everett!”

“You guys search all the hotels and homestays nearby.”
“You guys, search all the malls and restaurants.”
“The rest of you go and pull up all the surveillance camera footage on this street and find out which direction she
has
headed.”
“Yes, sir.”
Bruce felt his chest tighten after instructing his men.
Another stream of air surged up his throat again; he could not hold it down.
Bruce felt he had vomited blood again; he quickly wiped the corner of his lips with his hand. As expected, there was
a trace of scarlet in his saliva.
Some time back, Bruce drank until his stomach was perforated, and vomited blood several times.
He could barely eat in the last few days, and his gastritis worsened.
“Mr. Everett!” The butler was shocked when he saw Bruce vomiting blood.
“Don’t worry about me. Hurry up and find her.”
“Yes, sir!”
The bodyguards and servants dispersed at his command.
Bruce blacked out and slumped in the driver’s seat.
