The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 531 - 519

Meanwhile, Nancy was brewing medicine for Joanna in the room. She was frowning deeply as she murmured, "Sir, Madam, please watch over Miss Joanna so she’ll be safe and sound. It’s my fault that I made such a useless prescription...

I made her suffer a lot!"

As she watched the fire for the medicine, she was engulfed with deep remorse. The prescription that her old father, whom she had cut off all ties with, created was indeed miraculously effective. However, its side effects were pretty strong.

During the three days that Miss Joan was unconscious, the ingredient that she prepared for Ace had been used up. Consequently, his condition grew worse, and he could not even get out of bed now. Nancy came up with a lot of methods, but they were all futile. She could not pinpoint the reason either. However, she did not dare to inform Joanna about this. If not, she would make a big scene.

"Nancy!" Joanna snuck up behind Nancy and tried to spook her. When Nancy turned around, Joanna grinned at her. "Were you scared?"

Something was weighing on Nancy, so of course, she was frightened. "Miss Joan, you scared me! Thank goodness you’re finally awake. Come and take this medicine." She poured the medicine she had just brewed into a palm-sized bowl, then blew on it to cool it down. She then handed it to Joanna.

However, Joanna was in no mood to consume the medicine. She asked immediately, "How is Ace doing? Is his medicine done? Is the ingredient enough? If not, you can take more from me." As she spoke, she rolled her sleeves up.

"No, we can’t do that. Do you think your blood is tap water? You can’t keep giving it away," Jovan entered the room and pushed Joanna’s arms down sternly. He then urged, "Take the medicine first. He’s fine at the moment, so you don’t have to worry about him."

"Really?" Joanna was doubtful so she looked at Nancy for confirmation.

"Umm..." Nancy was at a loss for words. She was an honest person by nature, so she could not lie easily like Jovan. However, she could not bear to tell Joanna the truth either.

Joanna immediately sensed that something was wrong." Nancy, tell me the truth. What’s wrong with Ace?"

She felt that something was amiss the moment she woke up just now. Jovan and the other employees in the sanatorium had said nothing about Ace, and even Nancy was hesitant now.

"He, he..." Nancy looked at Jovan helplessly as if asking for his opinion. She felt that the only person who could persuade Joanna was him.

"He’s blind, what could possibly happen to him? He just needs to eat and rest. People will serve him. You should worry about yourself first, so hurry up and take the medicine. " Jovan explained calmly.

"Something’s wrong. Where is he? I want to go and see him!" Joanna demanded.

Nancy was left with no choice but to expose the truth since Joanna refused to take the medicine. "He’s resting in bed in the west wing. His condition wasn’t very good during the few days that you were in a coma. We didn’t want you to worry, so we didn’t tell you."

"Didn’t he recover well? Why did his condition worsen?" Without thinking, Joanna stumbled her way towards the west wing.

Jovan smacked his forehead and shot Nancy an annoyed glance. "I asked you to hide it from her."

After that, he ran after Joanna. 𝗳𝗿𝐞𝕖𝘄𝗲𝕓𝗻𝚘𝚟𝕖𝐥.𝚌𝕠𝕞

When Joanna arrived at the west wing, she heard the sound of glass breaking from a room nearby.

"Get lost! I don’t need your pity!" Someone roared, and soon, two nurses came running out of the room, sobbing pitifully.

"What’s the matter?" Joanna asked them.

"Miss Pierce, you’re awake? That’s wonderful..." The nurses looked at her like she was their saviour, and immediately begged her, "Please go and advise Mr. Moran. His current condition isn’t very good, but he’s refusing to eat or drink. He even prohibited us from taking care of him and drove us out. If this continues, I’m afraid he’ll die of thirst or hunger."

"He doesn’t eat or drink?" Joanna frowned, and thought wearily, ’Why is he throwing a tantrum like a child?"

She told the two nurses, "Okay, you can go now. Leave this to me."

"Thank you very much, Miss Pierce. Please be careful. Mr. Moran has been in a bad mood lately." The young women told Joanna gratefully.

Joanna walked past a spacious and comfortable garden before arriving at the door of Ace’s room. As she pushed it open gently, an ornament flew past her head.

"Don’t you understand? I asked you to get lost. Stop bothering me!" Ace screamed as he leaned against the bed, his pale face looking furious.

Joanna had never seen Ace lose control of himself like this. Others might be scared, but her heart ached for him. Clearly, this man was filled with despair.

"You broke such a lovely ornament... What a waste!" Joanna bent down slowly and picked up the broken pieces of the ornament, then threw them into the dustbin. After that, she walked over to Ace and placed her hand on his gently.

Her touch immediately calmed him down.

"Er... Are you okay?" Ace asked awkwardly. He swallowed slightly, his heart skipping a beat.

Joanna had fainted that day, and he couldn’t do anything to help her. Every day without her seemed like a year, and though he was concerned about her, he could not bring himself to inquire after her or visit her.

It was because he heard someone say, "Joanna will be fine since Jovan is taking care of her."

Hmph! She would be fine since Jovan was taking care of her. On the other hand... Ace needed someone to take care of him, even if he wanted to take a step. If he went to her, he only would have caused her trouble.

"Don’t worry, I’m fine. I was just staying up late every day to play games, so I had low blood sugar. I’ve got my energy back after resting for a few days." She was afraid that he would worry, so she pretended to be cheerful.

Ace looked relieved, and said emotionlessly, "Well, that’s true. You had Jovan to take care of you, so of course, you would be fine."

"Er..." Joanna found the situation amusing. "Didn’t he forget about me? Why did he say something so weird? He’s indeed quite prone to jealousy."
