Chapter 469

“Bruce, I’m back!”

“Why did it take you so long?”

Joanna took a deep breath. “Please, I only went to check on Lilia. It didn’t even take five minutes.”

Bruce’s eyes reddened, and he looked at Joanna with painful expression, as if he were an abandoned orphan.

Seeing this, Joanna’s body went weak for no apparent reason. She held his hand and said, “Alright, rest well. I’ll be here with you.”

“Mmm…”

Time flew.

Bruce had spent five days in the hospital. His recovery was progressing well, and he could already walk with assistance.

“Mr. Everett’s recovery is going well. He can be discharged the day after tomorrow. However, Lilia needs to stay in the hospital for further observation.”

“Alright, I understand,” Bruce, supported by Joanna, paced back and forth in the room.

Just as they were conversing, the hospital room door swung open, and a group of police officers in uniforms barged in.

Bruce and Joanna were shocked. “What’s happening?”

One officer flashed his badge and said solemnly, “Mr. Everett, we are from the Independent Commission Against Corruption. There is a major economic case, the investigation of which requires your cooperation.”

Joanna, even more worried, pleaded, “Officer, could you please show some mercy? He’s still in the hospital and underwent surgery not long ago.”

“I’m sorry, but this case is with significant social influence, and he must fully cooperate with the investigation.”

“Officer, please, he can’t leave the hospital right now. He just had surgery.” Joanna tried to buy some time.

She knew Bruce must have been keeping something from her, and she wanted to find out what it was.

After hearing this, one officer approached and confirmed that Bruce had indeed just undergone surgery.

“Officer, please consult with our senior officer first. Mr. Everett has just had surgery,” the officer suggested.

“Alright! I’ll make a call…”

As the officers entered the hospital, the bodyguards quickly notified the lawyer to come.
