Chapter 46

Hearing her groans of agony, Bruce quickly let her go.

“Joanna…”

He wanted to say that he was sorry, but those words just couldn’t be uttered.

Joanna gave him a cold look. “It’s past three o’clock in the morning. What the hell are you doing?”

Bruce had a thick white bandage on his head, and half of his face was swollen.

Besides that, he was also clad in a hospital gown. He indeed looked a little creepy.

“I’ve just come to see you!”

“You must be crazy! If you don’t leave soon. I’ll call the police.”

“Then go ahead and call the police!”

Joanna was furious. She swallowed and frowned, asking, “What the hell do you want?”

Bruce’s thin lips quivered as he looked at Joanna with a gentle yet complicated expression. “I don’t want anything. All I wanted was to see you!”

Looking at the gentle expression in his eyes, Joanna started having goosebumps for no reason.

“Bruce would never look at me so gently! This vicious and violent man must be planning some trick. on me again!” she remarked internally, putting up her guard.

“This is my house. Get out, please! Haven’t you done enough harm to me? Don’t you know that not. only did you almost get yourself killed, you almost got me killed as well! Bruce, I beg you, will you please leave me alone? I really don’t want to see you!”

Joann…” Bruce instinctively took a step forward and reached out. He wanted to hug her but didn’t dare to do so.

Joanna’s heart clenched as well.

He had always called her name in a cold tone. Never had he ever called her in such an affectionate

tone.

It was baffling.

“Talia, call the cops. Tell them a psycho’s trespassing!”

“Joann, do you have to do this? I have something I want to say to you!”

Hearing that, Joanna folded her arms and glared at Bruce. “All right, I’m listening now. What exactly do you want to say?”

“L… Bruce stammered.

He simply couldn’t bring himself to say that he was sorry.

It was not in his nature to be subservient to women.

After all, it had always been the women who surrounded him, racking their brains to please him.

All he had to do was give them the slightest signal, and a whole bunch of women would swoop toward
