The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 1260

Just as Bruce had a splitting headache and was burning with anxiety, the nurse in charge of Joanna

hurriedly called out to the doctor, “Mr. Clayton, Mrs. Everett has an abnormality. Quickly come and take

a look!”

When the attending doctor heard this, he hurriedly entered the ward with his assistant to treat Joanna.

Joanna’s heart stopped again.

Actually, if it were any other patient in her condition, there was no longer any point in treatment or

resuscitation.

However, she was Bruce’s wife. They could only try their best.

When Bruce heard this, he looked even more pained and nervous.

“Cough, cough… Cough, cough…” His chest felt stuffy, and his throat immediately tasted blood and

bitterness.

Bruce knew that he was going to vomit blood again. He swallowed two mouthfuls of saliva with difficulty

and suppressed the blood in his throat.

“Bang, bang, bang!”

“Damn it! Can you stop hurting?” Bruce slapped his head hard, wishing he could smash his head into

pieces.

He had never felt so much pain before.

“Mr. Everett, don’t be like this. You have to be strong!” Darcy stepped forward to persuade him.

Two hours later, the doctor finally came out of the emergency room.

When Bruce saw this, he staggered and stood up. “Doctor, how’s my wife?”

The doctor’s expression was solemn as he said carefully, “Mr. Everett, you’d better be mentally

prepared for now.

“Although Mrs. Everett was resuscitated, at this point, the best thing that can happen to her is that she’ll

be a vegetable. She might… might not wake up.

“You have to be mentally prepared!”

When Bruce heard this, he got another wave of dizziness.

Although he was mentally prepared, he was still unwilling to accept this outcome.

“We’ll go prepare the follow-up treatment plan first. Mr. Everett, you can change into a sterile suit and

go in to take a look at Mrs. Everett,” said the doctor.

“Okay!” replied Bruce.

Later, Bruce was disinfected and changed into sterile clothes. Text property © Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org.

Then he walked into the intensive care unit.

On the hospital bed, Joanna lay lifelessly.

“Joann, I’m sorry. I’m such a useless man. I…”

Bruce buried his head in front of the bed in frustration. He was extremely haggard and dispirited.

There was an indescribable feeling in his heart.

The repeated blows had already riddled his heart with holes.

Humans were really too insignificant in front of fate.

In the past, he felt that he could control everything and do whatever he wanted.

Now, he knew how arrogant he had been in the past.

“Joann, can you wake up? We’ll never be apart again…” Tears welled up in Bruce’s eyes and fell

uncontrollably.

His heart ached even more as he stroked Joanna’s cheek. There was an oxygen tube in her nose and

an IV drip in her hand. Surrounding her was all sorts of medical equipment.

Actually, Joanna was completely relying on nutrient solutions and high-tech technology to survive.

It was no different from the living dead.

In her situation, the chances of her waking up were only 5%.

“Mr. Everett, you can’t stay in the intensive care unit for too long. You’d better come out as soon as

possible after watching Mrs. Everett.”

Bruce stayed for another five minutes. The doctor urged him a few more times, so he could only

reluctantly come out.

“Mr. Everett, there’s a gentleman here to see you,” said Darcy.

“No, I won’t see anyone!”

“Mr. Everett, that gentleman asked me to give this to you.” As Darcy spoke, he handed a maple leaf to

Bruce.

Bruce frowned as he saw the maple leaf. This was the secret signal for the meeting between National

Defense Bureau agents.

Most of the agents did not know each other and did not have any contact information.

Besides, the organization wouldn’t tell the agent anything about anyone else.

Therefore, when a meeting between agents came, there would be a signal or code word.
