Chapter 1237
Joanna ignored him as usual. No matter what Bruce said, she looked like she was not involved.
"Alas..." Bruce sighed helplessly.
"Joanna, can we talk about this?"
As Bruce spoke, he forcefully grabbed Joanna's shoulder, wanting her to look into his eyes.
Joanna angrily moved away and refused to let him get close.
This instantly angered Bruce and he forcefully held her in his arms. "Joanna, turn around!
"It's just a small matter. Is it worth being so angry about? Are you going to be like this all the time?"
If it was in the past, he would have pushed her down forcefully and started to have sex with her until
she begged for mercy.
But now that she was pregnant, he dared not force her. Moreover, he had to work hard to restrain
himself every day. He could not release his desires, so he would naturally be bad-tempered.
One had to know that he had never been an ascetic man. Ever since he was with Joanna, he had been
forcefully restraining himself.
"Owww..." Joanna frowned, and a sudden pain came from her stomach.
Bruce panicked and quickly let go of her. "What's wrong? Did I hurt you?"
"Oww..." Joanna instantly broke out in cold sweat from the pain. She covered her stomach with a
painful expression.
"Wait for me. I'll call the doctor over immediately." Bruce hurriedly went to call the doctor.
A few minutes later, the doctor hurried over.
"Mr. Everett, what's wrong?"
"Joann suddenly has a stomachache. Hurry up and see if it's anything wrong with the baby!"
When the doctor heard this, he hurriedly went forward to examine Joanna.
Bruce watched nervously from the side. He was so frightened that his palms were sweating.
He kept asking the doctor, "How is it? If you can't treat her, send her to the hospital immediately.
"Joann, don't be afraid. I'm here!"
Bruce held Joanna's hand nervously as if she was about to give birth.
The doctor broke out in cold sweat. "Mr. Everett, please be quiet.
"It's not that serious. Don't be too nervous!"
"Then why does her stomach suddenly hurt?"
"The baby in Mrs. Everett's belly is a little affected. She'd better stay in bed and recuperate for the next
few days. She can't be agitated, and she can't have too many emotions."
"Oh, okay."
"I'll prescribe some pregnancy stabilizer later and give Mrs. Everett an injection."
"Okay, okay!
"No matter what, nothing must happen to her and the baby."
Joanna lay weakly on the bed, looking a little gloomy.
This was how people who liked to sulk were. They would suppress everything in their hearts and this
way would easily cause them internal injury. In addition, Joanna had previously suffered from
depression, which made her more prone to relapse during pregnancy.
The doctor injected Joanna to stabilize the fetus and instructed her to stay in bed and recuperate.
"Honey, I'm sorry! Hit me!" Bruce sat at the head of the bed and carefully held Joanna's hand.
Joanna closed her eyes, unwilling to look at him.
Bruce could be soft and hard. He was flexible. He immediately put on a cute expression. "Joann, are
you really going to ignore me?
"You know that I've undergone craniotomy before. I don't have enough brain cells, so I don't think
before I speak. Why are you angry with me? Alas, in my heart, no one can compare to you.
"We've been through so much together. Let's not fall out over such a small matter, okay?"
Joanna closed her eyes and listened. She couldn't help but feel her eyes sore.
He was always like this. He hurt her and then comforted her.
Still, he'd suffered so much and nearly died several times. Sometimes, she'd better not be too hard on
him.
However, this bastard refused to change his ways. She could not forgive him too quickly.
"Tell me, how can I make you forgive me?
"No matter what, can you not hurt yourself?"
Bruce was trying to comfort Joanna when Darcy called.
Beep, beep, beep.
"Darcy, what's the matter?"
Darcy's heavy voice came from the other end of the line. "Mr. Everett, bad news."
"What is it?"
"Um, Boris... He just had a sudden crisis and couldn't be resuscitated. He's already passed away."
When Bruce heard this, he felt a chill in his heart and suddenly stood up from the stool.
"Lock down the news first. Don't let it leak out. I'll rush to the hospital immediately."
"Okay!"
After hanging up, Bruce's heart was completely tense. "Joann, Boris is dead. I have to rush to the
hospital immediately to take a look. C0ntent © 2024 (N/ô)velDrama.Org.
"Be good and wait for me at home. Don't let your thoughts run wild."
After saying that, Bruce bent down and kissed Joanna's forehead. Then, he left in a hurry.
When Joanna heard this news, her eyes suddenly opened. Her heart was in a mess.
If Boris died, it meant that Bruce was dead. If things went wrong, Bruce's identity would completely
become illegal.
Although she was angry with Bruce, she was just angry after all. They hadn't come to the point to break
up.
