The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

On one hand, there was the urgency of going to Gaprington to get treatment for their daughter. On the other hand, Jaydon’s life hung by a thread after a car accident.

Joanna pondered for a moment and made the decision to visit Jaydon in Venturas first. He had been a tremendous help to her in the past, and without him, she doubted she and the children would have made it this far.

While Lilia’s condition was pressing, it wasn’t a matter of life and death..

Furthermore, having Bruce by her side provided comfort and support.

Joanna couldn’t afford to hesitate.

After leaving the restroom, she swiftly exited the airport.

“Let’s go to the pier!”

“Alright!”

Joanna hailed a taxi and headed straight to the pier to catch a boat to Venturas.

Inside the waiting hall, Bruce and Lilia remained seated, anxiously awaiting Joanna’s return.

They scanned the area, growing increasingly concerned as time passed.

But Joanna didn’t appear.

Bruce instinctively glanced outside and said, “Lilian, could you please check the restroom and see why Joanna hasn’t come back yet?”

The caregiver. Lilian, respectfully replied, “Of course, Mr. Everett!”

Setting down her luggage, Lilian made her way toward the restroom.

Lilia sat in her stroller, her tender face beaming with excitement. “Daddy, once I’m done seeing the doctor, will I be able to walk again, isn’t it?”

Bruce fondly ruffled his daughter’s hair, his voice filled with affection. “Absolutely, sweetheart. Daddy promised you to find the best doctor to cure your leg!”

“When my leg is healed. I will be able to run and have fun with my brothers, hooray!”

Lilia’s face beamed like a sunflower at the thought. “Oh, I really hope my illness gets better soon!”

“It definitely will! Daddy’s little princess will grow up healthy and happy.

“Daddy, why isn’t Mommy back yet?”

Upon hearing Lilia’s question, a slight crease formed on Bruce’s brow. “That’s right! It’s been over 20 minutes now!”

While they were talking about Joanna, Lilian returned from the restroom.

“Mr. Everett, Mrs. Haynes isn’t in the restroom. I checked every stall, but she wasn’t there.”

BOOM!

Bruce’s mind was struck by an ominous premonition.

“Did something happen to her?” she thought.
