Chapter 53
“Roxy! You must wake up! What am I supposed to do if you don’t wake up?” Ingrid said and cried out
loudly.
Shaun raised his eyebrows and patted Bruce on the shoulder. “Bruce, you’ve been with Roxy for six
years now! You have a complicated relationship with both of my daughters, so you should think about
how to resolve it. You’ve hurt Roxy before, and she can’t take being hurt again.”
Bruce frowned when he heard that.
Ingrid whimpered, “Bruce, you must be responsible for Roxy! She’s a nice and innocent girl. She’s
different from other women. She already has a relationship with you. You can’t hurt her like that!”
Bruce drew in a breath. He wanted to say that he hadn’t done it with Roxanne, but he swallowed it
back.
It was pointless to talk about it anymore.
After all, they had been dating for six years.
Nobody else would believe him if he said he hadn’t had sexual intercourse with her.
In fact, he hadn’t even touched her.
When he was in need, he spent money on other women.
When they were done and he had paid, they would go their separate ways.
Through the computer screen, Bruce looked sadly at Roxanne.
He was frightened today.
Her life could have ended because of him.
He wasn’t the type of person who wouldn’t take responsibility. Even if something like this happened, he
wouldn’t try to avoid taking responsibility.
He and Joanna were, after all, star–crossed lovers.
He had already hurt Joanna badly, and he couldn’t hurt Roxanne again.
“Mrs. Haynes, Mr. Haynes, don’t worry! I’ll marry Roxy as soon as she wakes up!”
Ingrid was crying. After she heard that, she felt relieved.
“You must mean what you say. No more excuses to put this off.”
“I understand. I’ll propose to Roxy when she wakes up.”
After hearing that, Ingrid and Shaun were relieved.
However, they were still worried about their daughter.
They were worried that she would never wake up.
In the ward, Jaydon carefully helped Joanna lie down and tucked her in.
“Joann, you’re always so soft–hearted. You’d rather be wrong than tell the truth.”
“Don’t say that, Jay. After all, Roxanne is my sister, and I can’t watch her die!”
Jaydon frowned and said angrily, “It’s all Bruce’s fault! That asshole!”
Joanna was a little absent–minded, and her voice was hoarse. “Jay, that’s enough. Please help me
with
the discharge procedure. I want to get discharged.”
“No, you’re so hurt! You have to stay at the hospital for a few more days!”
“No! Lilia’s still at home. I’m worried!”
“Talia is looking after Lilia. When I get back, I’ll check up on her. Don’t worry!”
Joanna shook her head stubbornly. “There’s no difference between me at the hospital and at home,
and I don’t want to see Ingrid again!”
Joann…”
As they were talking, someone pushed open the door.
Bruce came in with a grim look on his face.
In a rage, Jaydon stood up. “What brings you back here?”
Bruce calmly looked at Jaydon. “Don’t worry. I just want to say a few words to Joanna.”
“She has nothing to say to you!”
“Could you please step outside for a moment? I’ll only be here for a minute.”
“No way! Don’t even think of bothering Joann again!”
“This is the last time. I promise! I just want to apologize.”
Joanna took a deep breath. “Jay, please go out first.”
Jaydon glared at Bruce. “I’m warning you. Don’t ever hurt Joann again!”
With that, he stormed out of the ward.
Joanna looked coldly at Bruce. “Bruce, what do you want to say?” Copyright by Nôv/elDrama.Org.
Bruce’s face was gloomy, and he pondered for a short while.
He slightly bowed to Joanna, and he said solemnly, “Joanna, I’m sorry!”
Joanna was surprised and speechless.
She never thought that Bruce would apologize to her.
In an instant, a lot of the anger in her heart went away.
Joanna’s eyes sparkled, and she looked at Bruce with sadness in her eyes. “Have a good life with
Roxanne. Keep me out of your affairs. I just want to have a peaceful life…”
With a hint of hostility in his eyes, Bruce interrupted her and said, “Joanna, 1 just want to ask you one
last thing! Whose child was that?”
“Bruce, I have answered you many times! The child has nothing to do with you and will have no effect
on you whatsoever!”
After Bruce heard that, he took a deep breath and slowly let it out.
Then, he took a black bank card out of his pocket and pushed it into Joanna’s hand.
Joanna was taken aback. “What is this?”
“Here’s 75 million dollars as alimony and to make up for what happened. The password is your
birthday.”
Joanna’s expression changed abruptly, and she pushed the card back. “I don’t need it. Take this
away…”
Bruce stared at Joanna with sharp eyes and said in a hoarse voice, “No, keep it! I’ll be even more
upset
if you don’t accept it. You needn’t feel uneasy. Neither you nor I owe each other anything. Don’t
I won’t interfere with your life.”
worry.
Bruce grabbed her hand and forced the card into her palm. “Take the money and think of it as medical
bills. It’s my way of making it up to you. Take the money and go find a better house. If you don’t have
enough money, just tell me!”
He couldn’t think of any way other than money to make it up to her.
Roxanne had tried to end her life, and he was determined to marry her.
As for Joanna, he was just trying to make up for what he had done.
“Bruce, I really don’t need it.”
After Bruce gave Joanna the card, he turned around to exit the ward.
As Bruce got close to the door of the ward, he stopped and said, “Joanna, Jaydon is a playboy! He’s
not right for you, so stop loving him so much.”
After that, Bruce opened the ward’s door and walked out.
It would be more than appropriate to put an end to their relationship.
Joanna looked at the card in her hands.
Her nose grew sour. She felt like crying, but she couldn’t shed a tear.
“Forget it. Since he insisted, I’ll just keep it!” she thought.
After Bruce left, Jaydon returned and noticed Joanna was dazed. He hurriedly went to her bed and
hugged her. “Joann, what did he say to you? He didn’t hurt you, did he?”
Joanna shook her head dully. “He didn’t say anything. It’s just…” At that, she paused.
She thought, “There are some things that I probably shouldn’t tell him.”
