The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 162

Suddenly, Margaret seemed to have thought of something. Her expression froze as she said, “By the

way…”

“Bruce, are you going to donate your bone marrow to her daughter?”

“Yes!” Bruce nodded subconsciously.

“I already know about the child’s health condition.”

“And then?” Bruce asked in confusion.

Margaret breathed a sigh of relief as she said earnestly, “I do not recommend you donate your bone

marrow to her!”

Bruce was stunned and speechless. He looked at Margaret with disbelief.

Margaret took a deep breath slowly and said, “Donating bone marrow is harmful to the human body. I

am worried that it will cause damage to your body!”

“No, it won’t. Donating bone marrow is not harmful to the human body…”

Margaret stared at Bruce and said in doubt, “Who said so?”

“Those who said that it is not harmful to the human body are lying. They are afraid that no one is willing

to donate the bone marrow if they knew about

it.

“Furthermore, I already know about the child’s health condition! Not only that she is suffering from

leukemia, but also thalassemia and heart disease!

“There may be various sequelae in the future too. Even if her leukemia is cured, she would still be

disabled for life!”

Margaret sighed deeply as she spoke. “She might not be fully recovered even after you donate your

bone marrow to her!

“I have already sought advice from the specialist. After the specialist analyze her case, they suggest

that it would be better for her to give up on her

treatment!”

Bruce drew his lips together as he frowned and said, “Grandma, how could say so? She is my

biological daughter, my flesh and blood! How could I not save her and see her die before me?”

“Bruce, she is the Everett family’s flesh and blood too. How could I bear to see her suffer? I want her to

be healthy again too.

“However, from a rational point of view, her treatment is insignificant. She would only suffer more if she

lives!

“The specialist has said that even if her leukemia is cured, she might need to perform heart transplant

surgery in the future.

“Based on her condition, she might not even be able to live till she is seven. Therefore, even if you

donate your bone marrow to her, she might only live

for another two to three years at the most!

“So, do you think it is meaningful for you to do so now?” Margaret’s face turned serious after she

finished her words.

She would rather give up a sickly person!

Even though Margaret was not a person who favored boys over girls, she was worried that this sickly

person would drag her grandson down!

Lilia was suffering from so many kinds of illnesses. Today, she might need someone to donate bone

marrow. However, she might need someone to donate a heart for her in the future!

Joanna’s blood type was not a match with Lilia’s blood type so as the rest of them. Only Bruce’s blood

type was a match with Lilia’s blood type.

Margaret was afraid that it would be a neverending story for her grandson in the future.

Although Margaret did not bear to see her great granddaughter suffer, she could not bear to see her

grandson suffer even more!

Bruce’s face darkened as he stood up and said, “Grandma, I am going to save my daughter no matter

what!

“I have not fulfilled my duty as a father ever since she was born. Therefore, I can’t give up on her today.

Even if the surgery is not successful, I will still give my best shot.”

“Bruce, if she could jump around and be healthy again, I will definitely not going to stop you from

donating your bone marrow.

“But, look at her situation now. It is indeed pointless for you to do so. Furthermore, it will be harmful to

your body too!

“Now that you need to donate your bone marrow. In the future, you might also need to donate your

white blood cell or even other organs!

“I will be worried…” Margaret was trying her best to stop her grandson.

“Stop it, Grandma! I am not going to give up on Lilia no matter what!”

Bruce turned around and walked away as soon as he finished his words.

Upon seeing such a scene, Margaret choked herself in anger. “Stop right there! Are you trying to drive

me to the grave now?”

“Grandma…”

“Ahem!” Margaret was so agitated that her face turned pale instantly. She almost fell off her wheelchair

at that moment.

Bruce was terrified. He came over hurriedly to help her up. “Grandma, are you okay?” asked Bruce.

“Get the doctor now! Hurry up!”

“Mrs. Margaret!” Korbin and the nurses were shocked upon seeing such a scene..

One of the nurses took out the oxygen mask hurriedly and prepared to give it to Margaret.

Margaret held onto Bruce’s hand tightly as she panted heavily and said, “Bruce, promise me that you

will not do anything stupid!

“I know that you are soft–hearted. But, it is not the time to be soft–hearted now! There will be too much

trouble in the future! The Everett family is depending on you too…”

”

Bruce was so flustered at that moment. He said, “I know, I know. Grandma, please don’t say anything

anymore!”

“Korbin, keep an eye on Bruce. Do not let him donate the bone marrow no matter what!”

“Yes, Madam!”

As soon as Margaret finished her words, her head tilted to a side, and fainted!

“Grandma! Grandma!”

“Where is the doctor? Call the doctor!”

Five minutes later.

The family doctor rushed over hurriedly.

After the doctor did a thorough checkup for Margaret, his expression turned serious.

“Mr. Everett, Mrs. Margaret is suffering from heart failure now. I am afraid that she has to be transferred

to the hospital overseas for further treatment! We don’t have such medical instruments in our country

for the time being!”

Upon hearing what the doctor said, Bruce said anxiously, “Then we will send Grandma to the hospital

overseas for further treatment now!”

“Yes, Sir!”

Soon…

The Everett family deployed their private plane to send Margaret to Melta.

Margaret was seriously ill now. Of course, Bruce had to tag along with her to take care of her.

Everything happened so suddenly that Bruce did not have time to inform Joanna about it.

The next day.

Bruce did not go to the hospital!

Joanna waited at the hospital for one whole day. However, Bruce was nowhere in sight.

On the third day.

There was still no news of Bruce.

Two more days and it would be the surgery. Bruce should be staying in the hospital for observation by

now.

But until now, he was still nowhere in sight. It had already been two days since he last visited Lilia.

On the fourth day.

Joanna could not take it anymore. She made a call to Bruce immediately.

Doo!

“Hello, the number you have dialed is temporarily unavailable. Please try again later!”

“Bruce, why are you not answering the call?”

Joanna did not know what was going on. So, she made a call to Korbin, the butler of the Everett family,

hurriedly.

However, regardless of Bruce or Korbin, both their phones could not get through at all!

She had no other option now.

Joanna could only make a call to Andy.

“Hello, Andy!”

“Anything that I can help, Miss Haynes?”

“Where is Bruce?”

“Oh! Mr. Everett had gone to Melta!”

“Bruce? Went to Melta? Why is he there?” Joanna’s heart skipped a beat. Somehow, she had a bad

feeling about this.

“Well, Mr. Everett did not say anything about it. He just told us that he had something urgent to attend

to. Hence, he had to make a trip to Melta immediately!”

“When is he coming back?”

“I am not sure either.”

Joanna was stunned upon hearing the news.

Did he bring the kids to Melta on purpose?

“Bruce! Did you…”

When Joanna came to think about it, she felt a chill down her spine. Hence, she did not dare to think

further about it.

Could it be that Bruce had brought the children to Melta and totally given up on saving Lilia?

In the ward.

Joanna seemed to be a little out of her wits.

Lilia had not seen Bruce for days. So, she asked curiously, “Mommy, why didn’t Daddy visit me for the

past few days?”

“Lilia, Daddy is…” Joanna hesitated. She did not know how to tell Lilia about it.

“Is Daddy busy working?”

“Yup. Daddy will come over to see you after he finishes his work.”

“Well, when will Daddy finish his work then?”

“Maybe a few days later!”

Joanna was still out of her wits when Jaydon came to visit them.

“Joann!”

“Jay, why are you here?”

“I am here to see Lilia. How is Lilia now?” asked Jaydon with concern.

Joanna frowned as she said, “Lilia will undergo the surgery on coming Monday!”

“Have you gotten everything ready for the surgery?”

“Everything is ready!”

Jaydon then asked with concern, “Did Bruce agree to donate his bone marrow to Lilia?”

Joanna was speechless.

She had already lost contact with Bruce for three days..

She did not know if he had changed his mind.

Or did he plan to make her stay by agreeing to donate the bone marrow so that he could take Davian

and Irvin away from her?

Based on Bruce’s personality, it was absolutely possible for him to do such a thing!

Especially Margaret! She was a smart and ruthless woman. Lilia was suffering from such a critical

illness, Joanna bet that Margaret would definitely not going tot her grandson take the risk!

“Why aren’t you talking?”

Joanna sighed as she said, “I don’t know either!”

“Where is he? Don’t tell me that he did not agree to do so.

“He agreed to it before. But, I am not able to contact him now!”

Jaydon was so angry upon hearing it that he said, “I knew it. I knew that this jerk is unreliable!”

“This is not the thing that I am worried about now!”

“What else are you worrying about now?”

“He took Davian and Irvin away. I…” said Joanna as she blamed herself for being such a fool.

She really should not be so soft–hearted in the first place. She should not agree to let Margaret take

Davian and Irvin away.

But then again!

Once the children’s identity had been exposed, based on Margaret’s personality, she would definitely

think of ways to snatch the children away from her

by all means!

It was over! Everything would be over now!

She would not only lose her daughter but also Davian and Irvin!
