Chapter 89
The two of them were furious and looked like they were at the edge of fighting each other.
“Stop arguing. Calm down, you both…”
Seeing that they were about to fight, Joanna panicked completely.
Beep.
At this moment, Bruce’s phone rang. This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.
Bruce took a look. It was a call from the butler, Henry.
Henry had always been a sedate guy and wouldn’t call him easily unless it was an emergency.
Bruce frowned and answered the call.
“Hello, Mr. Everett. Your grandmother is in the hospital. Please come over quickly!”
“What happened to Grandma?”
“She has a sudden cerebral infarction. Come as fast as you can!”
“Okay, I’ll be right there!” After hanging up, Bruce panicked.
He didn’t have the time to deal with Joanna anymore and went to the hospital hurriedly.
After Bruce left, Jaydon sighed with relief. “Joann, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
“What exactly is Bruce trying to do?”
Joanna sighed, not knowing what to say.
“My head is a mess right now. I want to be alone for a while.”
“Alright, go back to your room and have a rest.”
“Jay, you can go now. I need some space.”
“…Alright then, call me if you need anything.”
“Okay.”
After Jaydon left, Joanna called out Davian and Irvin.
Then, she carefully watched the video edited by Davian.
She had a vague impression of the servant who sent her to Bruce’s room and that servant seemed to
be one of her grandfather’s nurses.
Unfortunately, this nurse had already left the Haynes family.
“What exactly was going on? Why did she do this?”
Joanna was puzzled and immediately checked the nurse’s information.
She had to find out why this nurse did this.
Bruce rushed to the hospital.
“Where’s Grandma?”
“She’s in the emergency room.
“Mr. Everett, you can’t go in now!”
Bruce was stopped by a nurse and started pacing outside the door.
“Grandma looked just fine back then. Why did she suddenly fall ill?”
Henry said with a serious expression, “After Mr. Everett left the engagement banquet, Mrs. Everett had
a relapse on the way back.
When Bruce heard this, he stared at the emergency room door in fear.
Needless to say, his grandma must have been angry with him!
His grandma had already talked to him about his marriage countless times!
Beep beep beep!
Just as Bruce was feeling frustrated, his phone started ringing again.
He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from Roxanne.
Bruce was even more upset. He did not want to answer her call at all.
After a while, Andy’s phone rang.
“Mr. Everett, Miss Roxanne is calling me.”
Bruce replied coldly, “Don’t answer the call.”
“Yes, sir.” Andy did not dare to answer it.
An hour later, the door of the emergency room finally opened.
A doctor walked out.
“Doctor, how’s the patient?”
“Fortunately, the infarction is not very serious. She has already been rescued but she hasn’t woken up
now.”
“However, the patient has shown signs of a stroke. She can’t be agitated anymore.”
Bruce’s heart turned cold. “Alright, I understand. Please do your best to treat Grandma.”
“Mr. Everett, I will.”
As they were talking, the nurse pushed Margaret out of the emergency room.
“Grandma…” Bruce quickly went up to her.
Margaret was lying on the wheeled stretcher with an oxygen mask on and had yet to wake up.
Bruce’s heart broke when he saw this and he grabbed his grandmother’s hand.
He only had his grandmother as his only relative and had relied on her since he was young. In front of
his grandmother, he was like a child who refused to grow up, a completely different person from the
vigorous and decisive shark in the eyes of
outsiders.

At the Haynes’s house.
Roxanne called Bruce dozens of times, but he never picked up.
She angrily threw the phone to the ground.
Ingrid also looked anxious. “How is it? Is Mr. Everett still not answering your calls?”
“No!”
“Do the Everett family think we’re some kind of a joke?
“Even if Joanna didn’t set him up on purpose six years ago, what does this have to do with your
marriage with him?”
Roxanne’s heart sank. She knew that Bruce did not love her and did not want to marry her at all.
Therefore, he used this as an excuse to escape.
The more Ingrid thought about it, the angrier she became. “No, let’s go find him now!”
“Mom, don’t cause any more trouble!”
Ingrid glared at her and said angrily, “How can this be called causing trouble? We’ve already informed
our relatives and friends at the engagement banquet. Everyone knows!
“Now he’s suddenly saying that he wants to cancel the engagement. Isn’t he treating us like we’re
some kind of a joke?”
“Mom…” Roxanne was so mad that she began to cry, but there was nothing she could do,
“Roxy! You have to learn to be smart this time! You can’t hurt yourself so badly like last time!”
“You have to be clear that the purpose of this is to cause trouble, not to actually risk your life.
“If something really happens, how could your father and I live anymore?
“This kind of thing requires your mother to do it personally!”
Ingrid took out her phone and called Henry, the Butler.
After her call was finally picked up, she gasped, “What? Mrs. Everett is in the hospital?”
“Go to the hospital and see what’s going on right now!”
Roxanne was also shocked. “Is Mrs. Everett in the hospital?”
“That’s right! Don’t ask so many questions. Hurry up and go to the hospital!”
