Chapter 1224
Davian and Irvin had returned from school. "Mommy, why do you have so many people to drop us off
when we go to school lately?"
"Well, it hasn't been very safe recently. Daddy was afraid that something would happen to you, so he
sent more people," replied Joanna.
"What could possibly happen?
"Don't let so many bodyguards pick us up in the future. It won't be good if our classmates see it,"
Davian muttered.
Every day after school, more than ten bodyguards would pick them up at school. Every time, it would
be grand and eye-catching. It also caused them to be discussed by their classmates in school.
Joanna sighed. "There's nothing we can do now! Daddy and Mommy are just thinking about your
safety.
"Bear with it. When you're in middle school, I'll send you overseas to study."
"Ah, again? Forget it! We want to study here!" The three children looked at Joanna in horror.
The last time Joanna said that she was going overseas to find a school for them, such a big thing
happened.
Now, they didn't want to go anywhere but just wanted to study at Greyport.
"Hehe, when the time comes, Daddy and Mommy will accompany you. You won't have to worry that
way."
Indeed, life was too tiring now.
Bruce had also said that he would choose to retire when he was 35 years old. In another year or two,
they could enjoy another lifestyle.
Joanna was talking to the children when a servant came in to report, "Mrs. Everett, Miss Bridges is
here!"
"Why is she here? Let her in!"
"Will do."
Ten minutes later.
The servant led Aria in.
Joanna frowned but still greeted her, "Miss Bridges, why are you here?"
Upon she saw Joanna, Aria's expression turned slightly awkward. "Ms. Haynes, I'm here to deliver
medicine to Bruce. Where's he?"
"Oh, he's in surgery now and might not be out for a while. Original from NôvelDrama.Org.
"Leave the medicine here!" Joanna's attitude was neither cold nor indifferent. She automatically
distanced herself.
She was not a petty woman.
This was because she still had a lingering fear for Aria. Even if Aria had good intentions, she still felt
estranged.
Aria pondered for two seconds. "I'll wait for him!"
"Erm, is there anything else you need from him?" Joanna asked subconsciously.
"Yeah. A little." After Aria finished speaking, she looked at Joanna coldly.
"Alright then! Just wait here."
Joanna didn't say anything else. She didn't want to stay and socialize with Aria. After having the
servant serve coffee, she brought the children to the inner courtyard.
"Mommy, why is that woman here again?"
"She's here to deliver medicine to your daddy," replied Joanna.
"There are so many doctors. Why should Dad take her medicine?" Davian's face was filled with
confusion.
The children were almost nine years old and had gradually become aware of the relationship between
adults. They began to feel disgusted toward the women around their father and kept feeling that those
women were up to no good.
"Children shouldn't meddle in the affairs of adults, and they shouldn't talk about adults," Joanna
casually lectured Davian.
She did not want the children to be involved in the relationship between adults.
"Don't worry! Daddy loves Mommy so much. He won't give other women a chance," added she.
Irvin replied, "That's hard to say. All men like beauties. As long as they're men, it is ingrained in their
nature to seek new prey."
"Shut up. Don't talk bad about Daddy. Daddy won't do that." Lilia spoke up for Bruce unhappily.
Joanna smiled. She had gone through so much with Bruce. If she didn't even have trust in him, their
marriage would really be a failure.
An hour later.
The door of the operating room was opened.
"Ouch!" Bruce got out with a grimace on his face.
"Not gonna lie, doing these medical beauty treatments can be quite painful," said he inwardly.
Seeing Bruce come out, Aria hurriedly came over to him. "Bruce!"
Bruce took a glance at Aria. "Why are you here?"
"I'm here to bring you medicine."
"Oh, thank you."
"What happened to your face?"
"I've just undergone a repair surgery." Bruce's face was filled with pain, and there were still some blood
spots on his face.
"What are you going to do next?" asked Aria again.
"What do you mean?"
"I already know about the clone. He seems to be dying."
"Alas!" Bruce sighed heavily.
He had done his best.
If he really couldn't keep Boris alive, then he could only let nature take its course. He had already tried
everything he could.
"You don't have to be sad. As long as you're fine, there's no need for him to exist," Aria comforted him
gently.
Bruce's eyes flickered, and he didn't reply to Aria.
He was a very conflicted person.
Sometimes, he could be ruthless. And sometimes, his heart would soften. He was a person who had
both a devil and an angel inside him.
Joanna hurriedly came over to him at this time. "Bruce, you're finished?
"How is it? Does it hurt?"
When Bruce saw Joanna, he became weak in a second. "How could it not hurt? It's almost killing me."
When Joanna heard this, her heart ached terribly. She hurriedly said to Bruce, "My dear husband
suffers so much. It broke my heart too!
"If you can't do it, don't force yourself. You look great like this," Joanna said, touching Bruce's face with
a tender hand.
"Honey, it hurts," Bruce said as he pouted, looking weak and helpless.
Aria watched from the side, and it made her feel kind of sad.
"When you truly love someone, you can't even hide your expression. In front of everyone, he was an
indestructible tough guy in front of everyone, but in front of Joanna, he became a crybaby," she said
inwardly.
