The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 50

Instinctively, Roxanne took two steps backward.

Then, she stepped forward again and gripped Bruce’s arm. “Bruce, even… Even if Joanna was the one

who saved you ten years ago, are you going to throw away the relationship we’ve had for years?”

Bruce looked stern and replied drily, “Our relationship has been a mistake since the beginning.”

“No, it’s not! You can’t say goodbye to me for such a trivial thing! I won’t accept this. I won’t!”

Roxanne swung Bruce’s arm desperately as she got all worked up.

“You do love me, Bruce! We are so in love. How can we break up so easily? I waited for you for six

years, and now, you want to part with me?”

Roxanne’s tears streamed down her face, and her slim body was quivering nonstop.

As the bodyguards backed away, Margaret sighed without saying anything.

She had never liked Roxanne from the start.

After all, the latter had a bourgeois mother.

However, Margaret did not want to interfere too much in her grandson’s relationships, which was why

she had always acted indifferent.

Bruce also felt a bit bad.

After all, he hurt Roxanne badly.

“I’ll make it up to you with monetary compensation. Give me an amount.”

He’d agree to it as long as it was not too outrageous.

Although they dated for six years, he never once touched her.

At least he did not harm her or take advantage of her physically.

“No, I’m not breaking up with you. I won’t accept this. I disagree! Have I waited for you for six years

only to be dumped in the end? I’ll never agree to break up with you! If you leave me, I’ll surely make

you regret it.”

Roxanne cried as she backed away. Then, she turned around and ran away.

“Roxanne!”

Seeing her in such a state of agitation, Bruce was worried that she would do something stupid.

Just as he was about to go after her, the door to the emergency room was opened.

A nurse pushed out a bed with Joanna sitting on it.

Seeing that, Bruce immediately approached Joanna. “Doctor, how is she?”

“We already splinted her arm. She has to rest properly. She might have to wear the splint for a whole

month.”

Bruce frowned at this and looked at Joanna’s pale face. He felt his heartache. “Joann, I’m sorry…”

Sadly, Joanna was still unconscious and wouldn’t be able to hear his apology.

“Mr. Everett, please step aside first. We have to bring the patient to the ward.”

“Oh, okay.”

Joanna was wheeled into the hospital room while Bruce stood by the doorway dejectedly.

“Joann, I’m sorry. I only learned that I’ve been wrong all this time. I’ve been so stupid. I’ll slowly make it

up to you for the harm I’ve done to you!”

As he watched Joanna through the glass on the door of the ward, Bruce made up his mind to pursue

Joanna and make her accept him again.

After the nurses were done settling Joanna down, Andy rushed over.

“Mr. Everett, bad news!”

Bruce was startled. “What is it?”

“Ms. Haynes cut her wrist to end herself!”

“What?”

Bruce’s worst fear was that Roxanne would do such a thing. Unexpectedly, she really did it.

“Where is she?”

“In a ward! I’ve just taken her there.”

Bruce rushed over to check after hearing that.

After running out of the hospital, Roxanne slit her wrist on a whim.

While it was impulsive, she also took into consideration the fact that she was at the hospital, a place

where she could conveniently be treated.

She didn’t want to die. She just wanted to pressure Bruce!

In fact, she only planned to cut her skin slightly.

To her surprise, Andy appeared at that time.

Upon seeing her holding a knife to her wrist, Andy was terrorized and rushed forward to stop her.

In a state of panic, she mishandled the knife and cut her artery, causing blood to spurt out.

Now, things turned dangerous for real.

Roxanne rushed into a ward while the doctors hurriedly prepared an operating room.

“The patient is losing too much blood. Go and get more plasma!”

“Stop the bleeding first. Bring me the hemostat!”

Bruce arrived at that moment. A nurse happened to come out of the operating room, so he asked. her,

“How’s Roxy?”

“The patient’s artery has been cut, and she is losing too much blood. She needs a blood transfusion!”

With that, the nurse sprinted to the blood bank.

A chill ran down Bruce’s spine when he heard the nurse. He lowered his head and banged it against

the wall in dismay. “Roxy, how can you be so stupid…”

Soon, Ingrid and Shaun rushed to the hospital after being told their daughter had slashed her wrist.

Clack! Clack! Clack!

Ingrid’s heels clicked loudly against the floor as she ran.

“Roxy! Where’s Roxy?”

“The doctors are saving her…”

“My goodness. Why did Roxy suddenly think of doing something like this? She was fine just earlier!”

Bruce stayed silent as he kept his head lowered with a sorrowful expression.

“Did you reason?”

do something to hurt Roxy, Bruce? Otherwise, why would she try to take her own life for no

Bruce did not say anything. He didn’t try to deny nor explain himself.

Seeing his tacit agreement, Ingrid felt her heart jolt.

When Roxanne came home the day before, she had asked Ingrid what she should do as it seemed like

Bruce was going to break up with her.

At that time, Ingrid thought her daughter was joking.

Now, it seemed like Bruce really did ask to break up.
