The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 508 - 496

Nancy was an outstanding physician, in addition to her meticulous studies of medical science through the years. Although she was not a divine physician, she could be considered the top medical expert in the world.

She inspected Joanna’s injury carefully before she prescribed herbs for Joanna based on Joanna’s body condition.

Joanna obediently consumed the medicine. Consequently, her injury, which was supposed to only heal in half a month, was almost cured in less than three days.

At first, she could not move at all. After that, she could get out of bed and move around alone. Even her attending doctor claimed that it was a miracle.

"Nancy, thank you for your medicine. It’s too magical. I can get out of bed on my own now."

Joanna rested for three days before she felt energetic again. She felt like she was reborn. She then carefully asked Joanna, "Did you help me keep it a secret from my brother?"

While tidying up the room for Joanna, Nancy said confidently, "Miss Joan, don’t worry. I told Mr. Pierce that you’re in a bad mood recently, so you’re leading a secluded life away from others. You don’t want to see anyone. He claimed that he could understand your feelings and asked me to take good care of you. He’ll take care of Adie and Abby."

Hearing that, Joanna felt much relieved. "I did such a silly thing and got hospitalized. If he knows, he’ll definitely give me a good scolding me. So we can’t let him know. What’s more, I can’t contact him anytime soon."

"Miss Joan, did you fall out with Mr. Pierce? You just got reunited with him for only a few days."

"It’s because what I want to do may make him very unhappy, or we may fall out with each other again if I’m not being careful. What’s more, it may push me into an abyss, so..."

Joanna heaved a long sigh with a worried expression.

Nancy knew Joanna’s character very well, so she neither raised any more questions nor tried to dissuade Joanna from that. On the contrary, she said firmly, "Miss Joan, you always have a sense of propriety. You never make us worry, no matter what you decide. So, forge boldly ahead if you think this is the right thing. I’ll always support you."

"Thank you, Nancy. You’re always my strongest support."

Joanna’s eyes became watery as she looked at Nancy.

Sometimes, what she wanted was not great help but her family’s understanding. It would make her realize that she was not going alone on the bumpy and dangerous vast road ahead.

Nancy’s encouragement gave Joanna courage. That night, she secretly supported her not-fully- recovered body and walked out of the ward while the doctors and nurses retired to rest. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

She was about to go to a near place. It would only take a few steps. She was going to Ace’s ward on the same floor as her ward.

She should have gone to see Ace early during the three days that she was recuperating there.

However, she did not have the courage to visit him or let others learn that she did.

Hence, she held on until she could get out of bed on her own. She then secretly went to see him when the others were asleep.

She had heard from the nurse that Ace’s ward was at the end of the corridor. At that moment, the door of the ward was slightly ajar...

Joanna gradually became nervous. She held her breath and slowly walked to Ace’s ward. She then gently opened the door.

The luxurious ward was spacious and clean. A light relaxing fragrance lingered in the air.

Ace was lying flat on the hospital bed with his eyes tightly closed. His long and thick eyelashes lit up under the light of the orange lamp on the bedside cabinet. They even cast mottled shadows on his face.

He had suffered a severe fall. His head was wrapped in a thick bandage, and his left arm and right leg were in casts. He appeared like a mannequin that was torn apart and reassembled. He looked in an extremely sorry state.

Joanna became speechless.

At the same time, her eyes instantly became watery. Stinging tears blocked her vision.

Ace turned out that way because of her. His old injuries were still not cured, but now he gained new injuries. His injuries were just like deep shackles, and they oppressed her so much that she could not catch her breath.

’You silly man! You’re a smart and rational person. Why did you sacrifice so much for me?

’I owe you so much now. I’m afraid I can’t even repay you even if I pay with my life.’

Ace fell into a sound sleep, so he did not notice that Joanna was right beside him. He might be in a bad dream, given that he furrowed his brows slightly. His handsome and cold face appeared to be in pain.

"Silly man, you’re sleeping, but you’re still on guard. Can’t you relax a little?"

Joanna dragged over a chair and sat beside his bed, staring at his charming face greedily. After that, she inevitably extended her hand to gently rubbed his furrowed brows. Her slim fingertips were rather warm.

She wished that he could be happy and relaxed. Even while dreaming, she wanted to see him happy.

That was what she mentioned to Nancy. It was the thing she was about to do.

It was true that it was destined she had to leave him. But before leaving, she wanted to come up with ways to cure him. She decided to heal both his body and mind.

Her decision was against her brother’s wishes, so she could not let her brother learn about it.

This decision might very likely push her into an abyss, but she would not retreat.

It was because she had to be worthy of the love Ace held for her. She wanted to leave without owing him anything.

Ace was a very vigilant person. After he got seriously injured, his vigilance grew.

The touch on his brows jolted him from his dream. He grabbed Joanna’s wrist and said in an extremely tender manner, "You. I finally caught you. You can’t leave now!"

"Wha..."

She did not expect him to be so vigilant. He woke up just with the lightest of touches. Consequently, her mind went blank because she did not know what she should do.

He stared at her with his deep-set eyes. They were as dazzling as the stars and as vast as the ocean. He then continued to say gently, "You know what? I was running a nightmare. I dreamed that I fell from a high place and hit my head against a rock. My head bled vigorously, and my limbs were torn apart

from the fall. I wanted to reassemble my limbs, but they were so broken that no matter how I tried, they wouldn’t stick to me. After that, a halo appeared before me. It was so dazzling that I couldn’t stare straight at it. A woman’s figure was in the middle of the halo. I guessed that must be you..."

Joanna was at a loss for words.

She pursed her lips in silence.

Ace’s eyes appeared so energetic, so she could not tell if he was blind.

"I thought I must have fallen to hell, but I knew that I was in heaven the moment I saw the figure in the halo. My heaven is where’d you be..."
