The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 470 - 468

Ace lay in the guest room of Carmine Pawnshop. His eyes were tightly closed, and his breathing was slow. He was still in a coma."How long has he been in a coma?"

Joanna forcefully exerted her weak body and rushed to the man’s bed before she asked in concern.

Her eyes inevitably turned red the moment she saw Ace.

It was because she’d never seen him so weak before; it was as if anyone, even a three or four-year-old child, could kill him with great ease.

"You guys are rescued together. It’s already been three days."

Quinton stood at the back with both hands in his pockets while making an honest reply.

"Didn’t you send him to the hospital? I’m sure a more professional hospital can save him, given his condition.

"Why didn’t you send him to the hospital?"

Quinton explained, "The first thing I did was got some people to rush you guys to the hospital, but those doctors were out of options. They claimed that you guys were dying, so I spent a lot of money to get a professional physician to save you. But... you’re now out of danger. Whether he can survive this will completely depend on him."

"Humph! So, we need to thank you for saving us, huh?" Joanna sneered and demanded.

She and Ace turned out this way. It was impossible if she did not hate Quinton.

However, he was her closest family member. She could not hate him at all.

Hence, she was in a great dilemma. She had two different sides fighting against each other in her mind, so she was in excruciating pain.

Quinton was no fool. Of course, he noticed Joanna’s complicated feelings. His handsome face also turned much more solemn.

"Sis, how did he bewitch you? You’re so loyal to him. Didn’t he betray you? Is it worth it to fall out with your brother for a scumbag?"

"I’m not loyal to him. I also won’t fall out with you. I just think that he’s not so bad as to have to pay with his life. Your means were too extreme. You’re just like a cold-blooded monster!"

Joanna’s large eyes were full of tears. At last, she could not hold back but looked up at Quinton with the most accusing glare, expressing her deep agony.

"I sincerely and wholeheartedly accepted you from the moment we were reunited with each other. I felt sorrier for you after I heard about your miserable encounters. I secretly made up my mind to make it up to you properly and to let you feel the warmth of family, so I always trusted you boundlessly. I tried to understand you and even tolerated you...

"I understand your mercilessness, cruelty, and extreme means. Unexpectedly, you schemed against me..."

"Sis, why did you say that? Why did I ever use extreme means on you? I also made up my mind secretly that I want to protect you for the rest of your life!"

Quinton defended himself agitatedly. He was slightly angry.

"I thought you would do the same and tried all means to take revenge just like me after you were harmed by this man. Surprisingly, you feel so much for him. You even risked your life to save him!"

He clenched his fists tightly and stated with deep regret, "I would never order them to release those dangerous animals if I knew that you would jump into the water dungeon..."

"All right, it’s useless to say that now. Nothing can happen to Ace regardless of the price I have to pay because..."

Joanna sobbed and said, "Not only was he my past lover, but he is also my children’s father. I can’t let my dear children lose their father."

"What? Your children?"

Quinton was shocked and surprised. He said excitedly, "So, you have kids. Why didn’t I receive any news? That’s wonderful! Our family has descendants, after all. That’s great..."

"Is it wonderful?

Joanna said pessimistically, "I’m afraid my kids will hate me to the core for killing their father!"

Enter title...

"No, that won’t happen. Sis, don’t worry. The exceptional physician I hired is an outstanding physician with great medical skills. He claimed that Ace will be all right as long as he can wake up in time. This guy will be fine."

At first, Quinton did not plan to let Ace off the hook, but since he was his nephew and the biological father of his niece, he could only let go of his grudge and let him stay alive.

"I hope so..."

Joanna heaved a long sigh. "My mind is a mess now. Please leave me alone. I want to stay with him."

"Okay."

Quinton nodded and patted her shoulder. He said apologetically, "Don’t worry, sis. I was too impulsive. I’ll try my best to make it up to you."

After Quinton left the room, Joanna no longer pretended to be rational or aloof.

She sat before Ace’s bed and held his hand with a heart full of worry and pain. "Ace, you’ve been sleeping for a long time. You should wake up now. Adie, Abby, and I are waiting for you to wake up. So, listen to me. Wake up."

She gained no replies.

Ace’s eyes remained closed. He did not give any reaction.

"Although you’re very aloof and cruel, and you repeatedly tricked me as if I was a fool and that I should hate you forever, I’m born a generous person. All the grudges between us will be put away and forgotten as long as you’re willing to wake up. What do you think?"

Ace said not a word.

He still lay there quietly, showing not a tinge of response.

Consequently, Joanna became a bit despaired. She almost broke down.

"Ace, that’s enough. What should I do so you’ll wake up? Do you want me to leave you forever before you’re willing to wake up?"

Crying and sobbing, Joanna uttered, "All right, you have my word. I’ll no longer pester you as long as you wake up. I won’t appear in your life again. I’ll give you and Seraphina my blessing. I can even give you and Briar my blessing. Is that okay?"

She still gained no replies. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

However, something mysterious happened. After Joanna made that promise, Ace’s tightly closed eyelids moved slightly as if he had made a slight reaction.

Joanna was flabbergasted as she stared at him in a trance. Great bitterness engulfed her heart.

Could it be a signal from God?

They were destined not to be a couple. If they did, they would have to pay with their lives.

If that were the case, she would leave.

"Okay, Ace, listen well. God, please listen to my prayer. Ace, I’ll no longer pester you as long as you can wake up this time. If I break my promise, I’ll pay with my life!"

Joanna put her hands together and made a cruel vow seriously.

At that time, Ace’s fingers moved a bit.

"Come! Help!"

Joanna got up wobbly and shouted at the people who were guarding outside. "Call the doctor now. Ace... has awakened!"

Many things were incompatible in this world, such as water and fire, the night and the day, and she and Ace.
