The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 748

Seeing Bruce’s reluctant expression, Aria put on a wistful smile. “Bruce, if you find it difficult, just forget about it.”

Bruce’s brows furrowed and unfolded repeatedly as he hesitated to respond. “Aria… It’s not that I don’t want to promise you,

but…”

“You’re afraid that

your

wife will be angry

and sad, aren’t you?”

He remained silent, indicating that she was right.

He had already hurt Joanna so many times, after all.

If he agreed to Aria’s request, Joanna would absolutely find it unacceptable, leaving him consequently.

“Forget it. I was just joking. You didn’t hear anything.” She tried her best to hold back her tears.

However, the more she acted this way, the more his heart ached

“Aria, medical technology is so advanced now; you will definitely be fine. Don’t think too much, eh? Work with the doctors and focus on your treatment. And if… if it really comes to that point, I will… definitely be by your side.”

He subconsciously agreed to her request as he could not reject her.

“Thank you!” she said as she leaned weakly in his arms.

Miranda, who looked at the clock constantly, could not help but mutter, “It’s already half past two. Why isn’t Mr. Everett back yet?”

Joanna smiled helplessly. “Maybe it’s related to work.”

“Work can’t possibly be more important than getting married.”

“It’s alright. Let’s wait a little longer!” Joanna comforted Miranda with a smile.

Ironically, it was Joanna’s wedding, but Miranda seemed even more nervous than her.

Joanna instinctively checked the time again.

It was already half past two, so she wondered why he had yet to return.

After all, Bruce had always been punctual.

There was still half an hour left, and she was certain that he would arrive before three o’clock.

Soon.

It was three o’clock.

Mr. Jameson arrived at the hospital with the City Hall’s officers, right on time.

“Mrs. Everett, where is Mr. Everett?”

“I’ll call him now. He should be on his way. Please wait a moment. Miranda, prépare some coffee.”
