The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 243

Ingrid rolled her eyes and said angrily, “Don’t let us in, then! See if we care!”

“Hubby, let’s go!”

Shaun had no choice but to start the car again and drive them away from the house.

In the car, the two of them argued non–stop.

“What do you think we should do now? What did Roxy do? Some mother you are… it’s all your fault for not traching

her well!”

“I didn’t teach her well? Why couldn’t you have disciplined her too? Stop pushing the blame onto me!

“Bruce Everett, that bastard, how dare he detain Roxy! We can’t let this matter lie. I’ll go to his company to look for

him later!”

When Shaun heard this, he was even more worried. “Save your breath! Can’t you see Mr. Everett is taking us less

and less seriously?

“Even if we go to his company to cause trouble, it might not be useful!”

Ingrid tried to keep a lid on her temper and shrieked, “If you think all my solutions are rubbish, why don’t you come

up with a few yourself?”

Shaun fumed. “If it were up to me, we should have called the police!”

“But you refused point–blank to let me! What else can I do but watch Roxy suffer!” Here, Shaun’s heart ached so

much that he nearly cried.

Roxanne had been the apple of his eye since she was young. He could not bear to see her suffer even the slightest

bit.

Ingrid was so angry that she took two deep breaths. Her eyes darted around slyly. Suddenly, she thought of an idea.

“Why

don’t we…

“Why don’t we… what?”

Ingrid pursed her lips and shelved her aggressive attitude. “Why don’t you give Joanna a call?

“Let her tell Mr. Everett that we intend to fetch Roxy back no matter what!”

When Shaun heard this, his face fell. “This… will this work?”

He had made it clear several times that he wanted to sever his father–daughter relationship with Joanna!

Joanna had been hospitalized for many days, but he hadn’t even asked about her. If he recklessly asked her for a

favor now, there was no way she would agree to it.

Worse still, she had been the intended target of the hired hitman!

“You won’t know unless you try. Go on, give it a go!” Ingrid had run out of suggestions too.

“That wench is currently the hot favorite of Bruce! A single word from her is worth far more than a paragraph from

anyone

else.

“Ask her to speak on Roxy’s behalf. We have this in the bag!” As she finished speaking. Ingrid gritted her teeth in

anger.

She awfully resented the fact that she had to beg for a favor from Joann.

Shaun thought about it. Indeed, there was no better way. “Alright! Let’s go to the hospital now!”

“Mm…

Shaun and Ingrid arrived at the hospital half an hour later..

“Don’t come up with me. Wait downstairs!”

“As if I wanted to follow you!”

Shaun sighed and bought a random fruit basket at the entrance of the hospital.

He walked into the hospital with the fruit basket and asked the nurse about the floor Joanna was on.

He then proceeded straight to that floor and headed directly to the nurse’s counter.

“Hello, may I ask which ward Joanna Haynes is in?”

“Sorry, we can’t reveal the patient’s information.” The nurse stared at Shaun with an air of vigilance.

After the previous incident, the entire hospital was on high alert.

Shaun smiled and explained quickly, “Ma’am, I’m Joanna Haynes’s father. I’m here to visit her.“,

When the nurse heard this, she sized him up again. “Oh, you’re Ms. Haynes’s father?”

“Yes, yes, yes. I’m Ms. Haynes’s father. My name is Shaun Haynes!”

“Alright, come with me!”

“Thank you!”

The nurse brought Shaun to the door of Joann’s ward.

The bodyguard at the door stopped them. “What are you doing?”

“This is Ms. Haynes’s father. He’s here to visit her.”

The bodyguard looked at Shaun. After confirming that there was no mistake, he let him in into the ward.

Although Bruce had given the order to not let anyone enter the ward, Shaun was Joann’s father after all. They did

not dare to stop him.

Shaun stepped into the ward.

After two days of recovery, Joanna had finally gotten over the worst of her illness.

However, she was still extremely weak. She lay on the bed sleeping, hooked up to a ventilator.

“Joann, Daddy is here to see you!”

Ms. Chain and Nancy recognized Shaun. When they saw him, they greeted him, looking shocked. “Mr. Haynes, why

are you here?”

“Oh, I came to see Joann! How’s she doing?”

“She just fell asleep. Why don’t you wait for a while?”

“It’s fine, it’s fine. I want to talk to her, that’s all.” Shaun didn’t listen to her and went to the head of the bed.

“Mr. Haynes, she just fell asleep. You should wait…”

Chapter 243

Shaun was preoccupied with Roxanne’s situation so he had no time to waste. “I have something urgent to talk to

her about. It won’t take long!”

Before Ms. Chain could stop him, Shaun called out to the bed, Joann, Joann!”

Joanna heard the noise and slowly opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, Shaun’s chubby face came into view, accompanied with a flattering smile.

“Joann, you’re awake!”

“Dad, why are you here?”

“Daddy’s here to see you!”

When Joanna heard this, she was a little puzzled.

Her father had never given a rat’s ass about her. Why would he think of visiting her suddenly?

However, she couldn’t help but feel a little touched that he had come.

“Dad, I’m fine…”

“Oh, I’m glad to hear of that! Thank god you’re fine…”
