Chapter 123
The bodyguard had no choice but to pull open Irvin’s little hand. Then he carried Irvin up
Three hours ago.
Derick covered Irvin’s mouth and nose, and Irvin fainted. Then, he put Irvin into a trash bag and lifted
Irvin to the roof. After that, Derick threw inven into
the cistern
After tinking into the water, Irvin felt the coldness from the water and woke up.
Fortunately, Joanna had sent Davian and Irvin to learn how to swim since they were young. Therefore,
Irvin quickly surfaced after sinking into the water However, Irvin was just a child and did not have good
stamina.
Irvin had been grabbing the water pipe for three hours.
After working for a while, the bodyguards finally rescued Irvin.
“Here he is! He’s out!”
“Irvin!” Joanna immediately rushed forward as if she was on steroids.
Irvin’s body was wet, and his face was pale. He widened his eyes in fear as if he was too shocked to
speak.
“Irvin, it’s mommy!” Joanna quickly pulled Irvin into her arms and hugged Irvin as she wailed.
“Mommy?” Irvin was stunned and scared. After a while, he burst into tears.
Earlier in the cistern, Irvin relied on his willpower to hold on for three hours in the water. He knew he
was safe since he saw his mommy. Thus, Irvin cried in grievance and fear.
“Irvin, baby, it’s alright! It’s all mommy’s fault. I’m so sorry!” said Joanna.
Seeing Joanna cry like this, Bruce’s heart ached. Bruce also got teary eyes as if he could feel Joanna’s
pain. Then Bruce could not help hugging Joanna and Irvin tightly.
Bruce said, “Irvin is weak now. Hurry up and send him to the hospital.”
“Right. Right! I need to go to the hospital!” Joanna hurriedly carried Irvin and walked toward the stairs.
Irvin was cold. He must be sent to the hospital now.
At this moment, Joanna could not be bothered to blame Derick.
A group of people rushed to the hospital.
Twenty minutes later.
Bruce, Joanna, and the others took Irvin to the hospital
Joanna said, “Doctor, please save my child!”
Soon, Irwin was sent to an emergency room.
Irvin was greatly frightened to death. Fortunately, his life was not in danger.
On the contrary, Joanna could not hold on any longer. She closed her eyes and fell.
Bruce cried, “Joanna, are you okay?” Then he caught Joanna and asked a doctor to come over.

Chapter 123
Within a minute, Joanna was also sent to an emergency room.
Bruce’s heart was beating faster. He paced anxiously outside the emergency room.
After a while, the doctor finished the examination for Joanna and walked out of the emergency rooni.
Then Joanna was taken out by the nurses.
Bruce asked, “Doctor, is everything okay with Joanna? She kept trembling uncontrollably just now!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtThe doctor answered, “Oh, no worries. Joanna just suffers from hypoglycemia. Coupled with the
sequela caused by overdosing on sertraline.”
“Sertraline? What’s that?” asked Bruce.
The doctor frowned and replied, “That depends on the prescription. Most women take it to treat
depression.”
Hearing the doctor’s answer, Bruce frowned tightly. He thought, “If so, does Joanna have a severe
depression?
“But how is that possible?
“Joanna is such a strong woman. How come she has depression?”
The doctor said, “Now we are sending Joanna to award and giving her two bottles of glucose IV. She
may need a long time to recover since her hypoglycemia is severe.”
“I understand,” said Bruce.
Joanna was taken into a ward with glucose IV. dripping into her arm.
Looking at Joanna’s pale face, Bruce could not help touching Joanna’s cheek.
Before a bottle of glucose IV. was finished, Joanna woke up from her sleep.
“Irvin? Irvin? Hiss!” Joanna woke up too fast and accidentally touched the needle. It was so painful that
she immediately became conscious.
Seeing this, Bruce immediately went forward to hold Joanna down and said, “Don’t get up. Lie back.
Look at how weak you are.”
Joanna could not lie down and sleep well. She threw the pillow away and said, “I’m going to see my
son. How’s my son?”
When speaking, Joanna already got off the bed. It seemed that she did not care about anything but her
son. Joanna did not even remember to put on her shoes and hurriedly ran toward Irvin’s ward.
“Your son is fine now. He’s just frightened,” said Bruce.
“No, I need to check Irvin by myself.”
Bruce could not stop Joanna, so he could only bring her to see Irvin.
Irvin was sleeping soundly on a bed in the ward with an IV. dripping in his arm. Irvin was unconscious,
but luckily, his life was not in danger.
“Irvin, it’s all mommy’s fault!” Joanna pounced on the bed and gently held Irvin’s hand. Tears ran down
Joanna’s face.
Joanna could not imagine what she would do if Irvin died.
Bruce gently hugged Joanna’s shoulder and comforted her, “Joanna, don’t cry. Irvin is safe now.”
As Joanna cried, she suddenly thought of something. Then she suddenly raised her head and looked
at Bruce with bloodshot eyes.
Joanna asked, “Where’s that bastard Derick? I must kill him!”
Bruce replied, “Derick’s in the photography studio. I’ve got people to keep an eye on him.”

Joanna instantly gritted her teeth in hatred. Her entire body was trembling. Joanna murmured, “This
crazy bastard. I will definitely make Derick pay the
price!”
Joanna thought, “It’s okay if they hurt me. However, if they hurt my children, I will fight them to death!”
Ingrid was still “negotiating” with her two cousins.
Today, Ingrid’s two cousins finally showed who they really were.
They forced Ingrid to take her clothes off and took many indecent photos of her. Then, they played all
kinds of “games” with Ingrid..
They kept making it rough for Ingrid. Moreover, they did not care about Ingrid and only cared about
their pleasure.
Ingrid used to like these exciting “games.” However, ever since each of her two cousins asked Ingrid for
2 million dollars to keep their mouths shut, Ingrid could not enjoy the moments with them anymore.
After the negotiations, Ingrid could not even stand straight. Her lower abdomen hurt terribly.
Just as Ingrid was about to go home, her phone rang.
Beep. Beep. Beep.
Ingrid took out her phone and saw that there were several missed calls. Oddly, they were from an
unknown number.
Ingrid picked up the phone and asked, “Hello, who is it?”
An anxious female voice came from the other end of the phone, “Mrs. Haynes, has Derick gone home
yet?”
Ingrid hated it when people spoke to her without introducing themselves. Thus, Ingrid immediately
pulled a long face and asked, “Who are you? Why don’t you introduce yourself first?”
“Oh. Umm, I’m Derick’s girlfriend!”
When Ingrid heard this, sty said in a softer tone, “Oh, you’re that star.”
“Mrs. Haynes, when I was with Derick, a few men in black suddenly took Derick away! I didn’t know
what to do, so I’m calling you now!”
Hearing this, Ingrid frowned and asked, “What? Some men in black took Derick away? Who are they?”
The girl cried over the phone, “I don’t know. They said Mr. Everett sent them. In a word, they’re fierce.
“Derick hasn’t called me back until now. I’m afraid that something will happen to him. All I can do is to
call you, but I couldn’t get through your phone for a long time.”
Ingrid’s body went cold, and she felt a premonition of something horrible. Then Ingrid replied, “Oh,
okay. I got it.”
After hanging up the phone, Ingrid hurried to the garage. She ignored the pain in her legs and lower
abdomen and called Shaun as she walked.
After the phone went through, Ingrid said anxiously, “Hi, hubby!”
Shaun asked, “What? Have you lost all your money?”
Ingrid replied, “No. Is Rick home?”
Shaun answered, “No, Rick’s not home.”
When Ingrid found out her son was not home, her heart beat faster. Ingrid said, “Someone just called
me and told me that Bruce had taken Rick away!”
“Bruce took Rick away? Why would Bruce do so?”
Ingrid replied, “How would I know?
Chapter 123
“Hurry up. Get Roxy to call Bruce and ask him what’s going on!”
“Oh, oh, on it
Roxanne listened from the side and felt nervous, “Dad, what happened?”
Shaun replied, “Your mother just called and said Bruce had taken Rick away. Hurry up and call Bruce.
Ask him what’s going on.”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmWhen Roxanne heard this, she did not dare to waste time. Then she hurriedly called Bruce.
Buzz. Buzz. Buzz.
Bruce’s phone vibrated.
Bruce took a look at it. After seeing it was a call from Roxanne, he immediately hung up.
After that, Roxanne called over ten times. Bruce was annoyed and finally picked up, saying, “Yep?”
“Bruce, did you take my brother away?”
“What about it?” Bruce’s voice was cold.
Roxanne could tell Bruce was in a bad mood from his tone. Thus, Roxanne asked carefully, “Why did
you take Rick away? Did he make you angry?”
“Rick didn’t mess with me!” said Bruce.
“Oh, that’s good. Where is Rick now?”
“Rick’s with me.”
Roxanne asked, “Then where are you?”
Bruce subconsciously glanced at Joanna as if he was asking for Joanna’s opinion.
Joanna gritted her teeth and did not say a word.
Thus, Bruce replied, “Rick’s done something stupid. He’ll probably be in jail for the rest of his life!”
BOOM!
On the other end of the phone, Roxanne felt like she had been struck by lightning. Roxanne could not
believe what she had heard.
Thus, Roxanne asked again, “Bruce, what did you just say?”
Bruce said, “Enough. I’m hanging up now!” Bruce did not answer Roxanne and directly hung up the
phone.
Soon, Derick was brought to the hospital’s underground parking lot.
At this moment, Derick was still only in his pants and was tied to a stool. Derick looked terrible with his
swollen face.
“Joann, I’ve brought you Derick!”
“Pong!” Joanna stepped forward and kicked Derick’s chest. Her eyes were full of anger.
“Plop!” Derick fell along with the stool. The back of his head hit the ground heavily.
Derick shouted, “Ah! Help!”
Joanna was furious. Then she picked up a folding stool and smashed it at Derick crazily.
Joanna shouted, “You bastard! Why did you do that to a child? Why did you hurt my child like that?”

Bruce said, “You don’t have to spend time saying all these to him. Derick is guilty of murder. Just send
him to jail! He will be sentenced to twenty years!”
Soon, Ingrid, Shaun, and Roxanne rushed to the hospital’s underground parking lot.
The three of them rushed over.
“When Ingrid saw Derick’s miserable state, her heart ached. She said, ““Oh, Rick, Who beat you up like
this?“” Then she yelled at the others, ““Are you
crazy?”
“Joanna, you fucking bitch! How dare you kidnap my son!”
Joanna said, “Hmph, I kidnapped Derick? Ask him what he has done.”
Shaun felt nervous and quickly went forward, asking, “Rick, what have you done?”
Derick was still tied to the stool. He was only wearing underpants and was very weak. Derick only said,
“Dad. Mom. Please help me!”
