The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 14

Joanna didn’t answer. She just hung up the phone.

Then from the bedside drawer, she took out two bottles of pills with her trembling hands. They were antidepressants. Silently, Joanna poured several pills out and swallowed them all at once.

She had been suffering from severe depression.

From the beginning, she merely had to take one or two antidepressants for one day. Then it was five, and now she sometimes had to take more than a dozen of them to finally calm herself down.

“Joann? Hello? Joann?” Jaydon was yelling anxiously at his phone.

However, it was the beeping sound that replied to him.

Jaydon, who was worried about Joanna, pocketed his cell phone at once. He stormed down his apartment, jumped into his car, and drove to Joanna’s hotel hastily.

He and Joanna had known each other abroad since they were both kids.

At that time, they were neighbors.

Jaydon was four years older than Joanna, but that did not stop the seed of romance from growing inside of the lad’s heart.

Later, Jaydon went back to their homeland for education. What he didn’t expect was that Joanna followed him back not long after that, and they were actually in the same school.

Joanna was not a nerd, but she was indeed very good at studying. By the age of sixteen, she was a university student already, and that made the two of them classmates once again.

Joanna always kept a low profile on the campus. Jaydon, on the other hand, was patient enough to wait for his crush to grow into a woman.

However, when the time was finally right, the incident between Joanna and Bruce shocked the whole Greyport! Luck was not on Jaydon’s side.

What happened next was the wedding of Joanna and Bruce. Their marriage was due to the pressure from the elders of both families, and that was Jaydon’s biggest regret of his life.

Half an hour later, Jaydon made it to the hotel.
