The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 548 - 536

The beautiful figure didn’t even raise her head. She skillfully undid the baby’s clothes and pumped his chest, then went to mouth-to-mouth artificial respiration in one swift motion.

After several cycles of compression and respiration, the child finally coughed out some water and slowly regained consciousness.

"He should be fine now, but it’s better if you take him to a doctor for a checkup." The figure finally sighed in relief and said to the young mother.

"Thank you, thank you, you saved me and my baby’s life!" The young mother hugged her baby and thanked them, then rushed off to the hospital.

Ace was simply drenched, and his hair was still dripping wet as the water trickled down his perfectly defined features. His long fingers brushed through his thick hair. Despite the exhaustion, he was rather happy with doing a good deed.

’It’s true that good deeds breed good feelings!’

"Hey, wait a minute!"

Seeing that the figure was about to leave, Ace called out to the woman.

"Who? Me?" The figure turned around.

As the two got a good look at each other, they both looked rather upset, their expressions twisting.

"It’s actually you!" Ace looked the woman up and down with disdainful yet conflicted eyes. "The gold digger who tried to seduce me. I thought you were useless, didn’t think you’d be a righteous soul. Color me impressed."

"Oh, you arrogant sod! I suggest you get your eyes checked. If you aren’t going to use them, donate them to someone who needs them more than you." Joanna glared at him and huffed.

As the old saying goes, habits die hard. The man was able to infuriate her in a million ways she could never have thought of, then and now.

’I just saved someone! Why did I have to bump into him too?!’

"You’ve failed to seduce me, and now you’re getting irritated?" Ace’s impression of the woman in front of him was obviously much better after the incident, so his tone was also more relaxed than before.

"Yeah, yeah, I am seducing you. Every fiber of my being is trying to seduce you. If you’d to keep your chastity, hurry up and stay away from me," Joanna said while squeezing the water out of her clothes and hair.

She had shoulder-length hair, which was usually used to tie it up. However, it was now let down on her back, complementing her fair face. Even the water droplets on her skin seemed to be enhancing her beauty even further.

Ace then gazed at the woman, slightly in a trance, "You..."

"What is it now?"

Joanna’s nose was tall, and her cherry lips seemed naturally tinted with a sweet red. If one were to look at her for an extended period of time, they would soon succumb to her temptation as well.

The man couldn’t help but feel a bitter taste in his mouth, letting out a few dry coughs. "You look familiar, I think I’ve seen you somewhere."

Joanna was speechless as she put up a fake smile. "What an old-fashioned line. I didn’t think you, of all people, would say that. Are you also trying to seduce me?"

Ace wasn’t quite lying. He did sense a familiar feeling when looking at her. He just couldn’t recall who she was, no matter how much he thought about it.

Even then, he didn’t explain himself but instead took a step closer to her. "Then tell me, did I seduce you?"

"Ahem!" Joanna took a few steps backward, letting out a few dry coughs as well. "Sir, you don’t have to be so awkward, you know? Did you get water in your brain when you dived into the lake?"

"Don’t change the subject. Just say yes or no." The man spoke as if he were an experienced hunter, not giving her the slightest chance to back out, as if he were trying to peer through the depths of her heart.

"Yeah, yeah..." Joanna took a deep breath and averted the man’s deep gaze. She started spewing a bunch of nonsense instead.

"Oh, Sir, my admiration for you is like a tsunami, whose waves fill my heart with love as they crash on the shore! I simply cannot wait to appear before you with a bouquet of flowers, where I can finally worship you for the beauty that you are! You have truly seduced me, oh my Prince Charming!"

Ace was silent.

Joanna continued. "Are you happy now? You don’t have to act out the dominant CEO trope anymore. It’s just so awkward!"

The man was even more confused now.

Joanna didn’t even allow him to speak. "Still not satisfied? I’m a professional *ss kisser kissing, you know? I can go on for three whole days if you’d like."

Ace’s face darkened as he gritted his teeth. "That won’t be necessary."

’This woman... is completely abnormal!’

’I just wanted to probe the truth out of her, but I realized... she simply has no limits!’

"Is there anything else? If not, I’m really busy, my Prince Charming!"

Joanna just couldn’t wait to get away from the man, as she was a person with almost no self-control. The longer she stayed with him, the more her heart would long for something more. Thus, she absolutely didn’t want anything else to happen.

Besides that, she was also soaked to the skin during such a late night, and she was freezing.

"It’s okay. You can go." Ace didn’t seem like he was interested in looking into her anymore. In his opinion, the woman was just far too ’crazy’ to read.

Joanna had merely gone a few feet away from him when the man’s voice came from behind her again.

"Hold on!"

"What is it again?"

"It’s a little cold. Put this on." Ace gently draped his dry jacket on the woman, half-joking.

"Take good care of your body, you righteous gold-digger, or you won’t have the strength to seduce anyone!"

"Yeah yeah, thank you, I’ll even thank your whole family, Sir." Joanna silently balled up her fists and deliberately said in an impatient voice.

"Why are you at the hospital? Are you a staff member here, or is your family sick?"

"It’s none of your business. Go away!"

Although Joanna walked away indifferently, she couldn’t bring herself to give up his jacket in the end. In all honesty, she was still completely addicted to her love for this man. She simply couldn’t convince herself to push him away, especially after loving him for most of her life.

Thus, she decided that this jacket would be her last act of caprice.

After returning to the ward, Joanna went to the lounge next door to change her clothes.

After about a week of treatment, Jovan was able to sit up. As he heard the woman panicking, he felt a little worried and quickly asked, "Is something wrong?"

"Nothing, I was just changing," Joanna said while walking out of the lounge.

She had already changed into some loose casual clothes, then draped Ace’s jacket over the chair.
