Jaydon mustered a smile and said, “I’m fine too. I’m just a little worried about you.”
Joanna pondered for a few seconds and said solemnly, “Jay, you don’t need to worry about me. I can handle everything on my own. You’ve already done so much for me. And I really don’t want to trouble you anymore.”
After hearing Joanna’s words, Jaydon fell into complete silence.
In the past, if Joanna had any difficulties, she would tell him.
And now, she was deliberately alienating him.
“So, how is he doing now?”
After hearing this, Joanna took a deep breath. “He hasn’t woken up yet.”
“What did the doctor say?”
“The doctor said that we can only wait patiently. It’s already a blessing that he managed to survive.”
“So, what are your plans?” Jaydon could not help but ask again.
Bruce had such a serious car accident. There were all kinds of speculations online every day.
They were all reporting that Bruce was in a vegetative state and would never wake up for the rest of his life. In fact, it was pretty much the case.
Four of Bruce’s sternums were broken. Moreover, his left arm and right calf were fractured. There were dozens of wounds all over his body, and he had hundreds of stitches.
Coupled with the intracranial hemorrhage, he had a slim chance of survival. With such serious injuries, it was really a blessing that he managed to survive.
“Joann, do you really plan on taking care of him for the rest of your life?”
Even Jaydon thought that Bruce would probably be in a vegetative state for the rest of his life and that there wouldn’t be a day when he would wake up.
Joanna pursed his lips slightly and did not answer.
“Joann, I’m still worried for you. You have to think about your current situation. You have three children take care of, and you’re pregnant with another one.
“In addition, you have to take care of him and manage the Everett Group. Can you handle it?”
Joanna pondered for a few seconds and then forced a smile. “It’s okay. I can do it.
“Besides, with servants helping me, I won’t be so tired.”
Jaydon fell silent again on the other end of the phone.
His heart couldn’t help but ache.
His love for Joanna was definitely no less than Bruce’s.
However, his way of expressing it would be gentler and more tolerant. He was not as possessive as Bruce, and his personality
was not as extreme as Bruce’s.
Jaydon still hoped that Joanna would voluntarily give up on Bruce and choose to be with him. However, he knew that this
was his wishful thinking. novelbin
Joanna didn’t know what to say. She could only reply awkwardly, “Jay, thank you.”
“There you go again. How many times have you thanked me?
“Every time you say thank you, it creates more distance between us.”
“I’m sorry.” Joanna felt even more guilty.
When Jaydon heard this, he could not help but mock himself.
The two phrases Joanna said to him the most were “Thank you” and “I’m sorry”.
“It’s alright. You can hang up now,” Jaydon said with a sigh.
He didn’t want to put Joanna in a difficult position.
When Joanna heard this, her heart ached..
She wanted to say something. But she couldn’t say anything.
“You hang up first.”
“You hang up first.” Jaydon was used to Joanna hanging up first.
Joanna didn’t insist anymore and finally ended the call.
She knew there was no longer any possibility between them.
She didn’t want to give him any hope. Moreover, she didn’t want him to waste any more time on her.

In this lifetime, no matter what happened, and regardless of what the future held for Bruce, she had made up her mind to be with Bruce.
She did not want to waver between the two of them anymore. Through this car accident, she realized her true feelings.
She loved Bruce.
At the moment when the doctor pronounced Bruce dead, she truly fell apart. She was unable to accept this outcome. And finally, she realized just how much she loved him.
Of course, alongside the love, she also despised this terrible jerk. After all, he was so cruel and domineering, with an insatiable desire for control and conquest that no woman could tolerate.
However, Bruce had that kind of enchanting power that made people both love and hate him. When love and hatred coexisted deep within Joanna’s heart, she knew she couldn’t leave him in this lifetime.
Joanna was at the hospital like always.
“How is he doing? Any improvements today?”
“No. Mr Everett is still the same.”
After hearing that, Joanna’s expression darkened. Then she slowly approached Bruce’s bedside.
Bruce was lying on the hospital bed.
Bruce was still lying there quietly. But his complexion had a slightly healthier color. He appeared to have gained some vitality.
“Ouch.” Joanna Haynes had just sat down when she felt a tremor in her stomach.
She was already four months pregnant and could feel the baby moving.
Seeing this, Miranda asked with concern, “Joann, what’s wrong?”
Joanna frowned. “My stomach is hurting as if it was pulled by something.”
“You look so pale. Are you too tired?”
“Maybe.”
“You should see a doctor right away. Don’t take any chances with your health or the baby’s.”
“Well. I’ll go now,” Joanna said. Then she stood up while enduring the pain.
To her surprise, as soon as she stood up, she could feel Bruce’s hand gripping hers.
Joanna was taken aback and quickly lowered her head to take a look.
Just a moment ago, it was her hand holding Bruce’s hand.
But now, the tables had turned, and Joanna clearly felt Bruce gripping her hand tightly.
