The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 542 - 530

As a blind person, the scariest thing that could happen was a change in environment, not the fact that he couldn’t see. The little wooden house had always been his shell for the past six months, and hiding within this shell brought him a sense of safety and comfort.

"Please calm down, sir. You have injured your back. That’s why you’ll have to be hospitalized for a short period of time. Don’t worry. We will make sure to take good care of you," The nurse consoled him patiently.

Despite this, Jovan flung his arms like he was in a manic episode and yelled, "Get lost! I don’t need your care! Get lost right now!"

"Where’s my guardian!? Where is she?! I only want her!" The man’s voice was filled with anger and desperation as if he was a child, worried that he had just been abandoned.

The nurse frowned sadly. "I’m sorry, I... I don’t know where your guardian is, either. You were alone in this ward when I came."

Jovan’s face turned pale as a sheet, and he begged the nurse, "I’ll pay you to send me home! I’ll pay you however much you want! She’d be worried if I wasn’t home! Please!"

"Uhm... We can’t do that, sir. Do you perhaps have her number? Why don’t I give her a call instead?"

"Alright, her number is..."

Just as Jovan was about to say Joanna’s number, he suddenly realized something and fell silent.

"Sir? Her number is...?"

"It’s okay. There’s no need to call her," Jovan said as his frustrations suddenly died down.

If she had really wanted to ditch him, there was no use in asking for her to come back. He would certainly not blame her for leaving, as he was content that they got to spend those past six months together, along with all the love and care she provided him.

Suddenly, Joanna pushed open the door to the ward, letting out a sigh of relief as soon as she saw him. "Thank the gods. You’re finally awake! You scared me to death!"

Jovan’s handsome face brightened immediately after he heard her voice.

"You... You didn’t leave? You weren’t thinking of abandoning me?"

Joanna froze, then chuckled. "Silly, do you really think I’m that type of person? If I really wanted to abandon you, I would’ve done so long ago!"

She then held his hand and teased him. "I haven’t even given you a lecture! How could you climb that tree when you’re blind? If I came home any later, would you have wanted to climb the roof instead?!"

"I just wanted to pick some cherries for you because I heard you wanted some. You could eat them once you come home from the marketplace."

"I can pick them if I want to eat them that badly. Your main mission here is to take care of yourself." Joanna was touched, but she wasn’t used to saying melodramatic words.

"Yeah, a burden like me should just stay put and not give you trouble..." Joavn said weakly.

Although he had always been wasting his life away and cared for nothing in his life in the past, the man had never felt so useless before.

"Atta boy!" Joanna patted him on the head and stood up, bringing over the small piece of cake she bought. "Are you in a bad mood? I bought something good for you, okay? I’m sure you’ll feel much

better once you’ve had some!"

"What is it?"

"Open your mouth." Joanna scooped up some cake and fed it to Jovan.

"It’s yummy." Jovan was thoroughly comforted as if he really was a child.

Desserts were truly the key to happiness.

Next to them was the nurse from earlier. She was simply touched and envious of their relationship as she thought, ’This really is... true love!’

Jovan finally fell asleep shortly after, with a faint and sweet smile plastered on his face. Like an actual child, he treated Joanna as the center of his life.

When Joanna was around, everything was sunshine and rainbows. Even the air tasted sweet to him. However, on the contrary, it felt as if the world was ending once she left his side. He wouldn’t even have the will to live on without her.

He knew that it was absolutely insane to feel this way, but he couldn’t help it. Her presence was far too addictive.

Joanna silently watched the man sleep and sighed. She would be lying if she said she wasn’t tired. In fact, she was both physically and mentally exhausted.

Jovan had always been a madman, and his methods were rather extreme. Back then, he had always been an ’all-or-nothing’ guy and loved creating chaos in any situation.

Yet now, he was as tame as a little kitten. He was no longer reckless or arrogant and had placed her on a pedestal. It was as if he had completely turned into a different person.

However, this shift only made Joanna feel more guilty. She found him far too pitiful, as he couldn’t act as freely as he used to. It was painful to watch him being so careful with life.

All of this was her fault.

She was then reminded that she had bumped into Ace earlier that morning, which made her oddly frustrated and annoyed. ’Why is this man walking straight into my peaceful life again? We’re not even supposed to see each other again! Why is he messing with my heart!’

’But... It’s my fault for not moving on completely... I’m such a despicable person!’

The woman soon left the ward and arrived at a dark stairway before lighting a cigarette.

The sparks of flames flickered in the pitch darkness, along with the thin layer of smoke painting the air. The smell of nicotine helped her relax.

For the past six months, she started smoking as she struggled with her mental health. She knew it was a bad habit and would harm her health, but she simply couldn’t help herself.

Just as with her feelings, she just couldn’t stop these disastrous emotions from arising, despite knowing that she shouldn’t.

Just then, two nurses appeared in the same stairway, making idle chit-chat as they lit their own cigarettes as well. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Hey, have you heard? That woman we just admitted is Seraphina Murphy, the eldest daughter of the Murphys! And that man who brought her here is the famous CEO of the Moran group, Ace Moran!"

"Oh my god, you mean the legendary Ace Moran? He looks so cool! And he’s such a great boyfriend!"

"Right? I heard Miss Murphy got into a car crash because she was trying to get a mug..."

"Tsk tsk, just how precious is that mug? Why would the rich lady risk her life just to get it?"

"Who knows? Maybe it has some sort of special meaning... like a gift out of love?"

At the bottom of the staircase, Joanna could hear their entire conversation. Her chest tightened as curiosity attacked her mind, so she asked, "How is that patient? Is she alright?"

The nurses jumped in surprise as soon as they heard someone suddenly speak.

They couldn’t see the woman properly, but one of them responded truthfully, "We... We’re not sure yet. Do you know Miss Murphy too?"

"No, I... I don’t. I’m just curious." Joanna quickly denied.

"Are you blind? It’s Joan. Everyone in our hospital knows that she’s been closely taking care of Van for the longest time. How would she ever know who Miss Murphy is?" The other nurse chimed in.
