The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 549 - 537

Since Jovan couldn’t see, she behaved more comfortable around him.

"Then why change clothes?" Jovan’s expression seemed uneasy as he pursued the question.

"Well... Because my clothes were dirty." Joanna told a white lie, not revealing her encounter with Ace. Otherwise, being the jealous prick he was, Jovan would certainly overthink.

"You’re lying." Jovan frowned, obviously aggravated. "You said that you would never lie to me, but now you’re treating me like a fool!"

Joanna realized that the man must know something. After all, many people came and went from the hospital. Being an old acquaintance there, it was inevitable that someone would end up telling him some kind of information.

"You say I lied to you, then tell me, what did I lie to you about?" the woman asked carefully.

"Dr. David told me about the drowning incident around the lake. You jumped to save a life, so you’re changing because your clothes are wet, not that they’re dirty!" Jovan replied seriously.

Joanna felt relieved and responded. "That’s right, I lied, but I just didn’t want you worrying. That Dr. David sure has a loud mouth. Looks like we have to change hospitals, or I’d have no privacy at all."

She did intend to transfer Jovan to another hospital before this conversation. Now that Seraphina and Ace were staying on the same floor, she was bound to bump into them again.

Jovan was quite a sensitive person, after all, and he might end up causing a commotion if he were to find out.

"This matter can’t be solved just by transferring hospitals. You haven’t even realized the main problem here!" Jovan seemed so oddly serious that Joanna found him unfamiliar.

"What is the main problem then?"

"You’re not treating me as your closest, most trusted person!"

"How... did you come to that conclusion? We are dependent on each other now, is that not considered close and trustworthy enough?"

"I’m being serious here!" Jovan was truly mad this time, emphasizing his words to Joanna with a frown.

"If you treated me as your closest, most trusted person, you would have shared this matter with me first! You hid the truth from me just because you didn’t want me to worry. But be honest. You just think I’m too weak to face the outside world! That I need to be taken care of... I may be useless, but I am still a man with pride! Do you think I’d be happy about this?"

"I really didn’t think this through." Joanna sincerely apologized. "I’m sorry, I didn’t know that you would care so much about these little details. I promise you that in the future if there is anything, I will share it with you first, and I’ll never hide anything from you."

"If you really feel sorry, then tell me, is there anything else you’re hiding from me?" Jovan asked the woman intently.

"I..." Joanna paused and carefully observed the man’s expression. She was not sure if the man was deliberately testing her reaction.

’Does he already know about me meeting Ace?’ She wondered.

"Is it so hard to answer?" Jovan chuckled coldly. "It looks like you really are hiding something from me."

"I don’t mean that, I..."

"Didn’t you just say that you wanted to transfer me to a hospital? I agree." Jovan sighed deeply. "We have too many acquaintances here. There’s too much gossip spreading about. I prefer to go to a place where no one knows us so that we can live with ease."

"Right, I think so too. Then I’ll go through with the transfer procedure now."

When Joanna held the documents and went through the formalities to help Jovan transfer to another hospital, Jovan’s attending doctor, David, was very surprised.

"Joan, why do you suddenly want to transfer Van to another hospital? He’s now in the critical period of his recovery, and he can’t endure the stress of moving to another hospital."

David was one of the doctors with the most medical experience in the surrounding cities. Besides, he was amiable, humble, and responsible.

When they first arrived at that town, they came because of David’s medical skills, not to mention he was also the one treating Jovan’s illness. Hence, they established a very good friendship.

"There’s a special condition, so we need to leave for a while for the time being. When the time is right, we’ll come back again."

Joanna gave David a rough explanation because she could not go into the details. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝒆𝔀𝒆𝙗𝓷𝒐𝙫𝒆𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝓶

"If you want to transfer to another hospital, you’ll have to change his attending doctor. You’re aware that every doctor’s concept of medicine is different. I think Van’s case isn’t too serious. As long as he recuperates patiently and keeps in a good mood, he’ll slowly get better. At least, I can guarantee that he can walk again."

David adjusted his glasses and reminded Joanna seriously, "If you transfer him to another hospital and get another doctor, I can’t guarantee that they won’t use extreme treatment on Van after the check-up results are out. The consequences will be a bit serious by then."

"What is the extreme treatment?"

"It’s like using muscle regeneration hormones or transplanting new limbs on his body."

"They can’t possibly do that!!!"

Joanna could tell they were unreliable methods, and she expressed her deepest objection.

Injecting muscle regeneration hormones or a limb transplant didn’t seem very much like what an ordinary doctor would do.

"So, I suggest you not transfer him to another hospital. After all, we have such good cooperation now. Both you and Van accept my treatment methods. You can’t give up at such a critical time. Don’t you think so?"

David twirled a pen with his fingers and slowly established his point, trying to persuade Joanna with reason.

"Doctor Wilson, you’re right, so I won’t apply for a transfer then. I’ll help to discharge him from the hospital first. We’ll then come back and let him stay here again after a period. Is that possible?

After pondering over it, Joanna compromised.

Jovan’s waist injury was almost cured, so he merely needed regular physiotherapy and some ointments for the wounds. They could do those kinds of things at home.

In short, it was fine as long as they did not have to keep staying in this hospital. It would cut off all possibilities of meeting Ace.

"Yes, you can do that. But I think Van needs to be hospitalized for another week before his waist injury is cured. Do you have any urgent affairs? Why do you want to leave in such a hurry?"

"I..."

Joanna bit her lips and tried her best to come up with an excuse. "Van and I have difficulties sleeping in beds that aren’t ours. We can’t sleep well here, so we’re low in spirits and hard to hold on."

"All right. I’ll approve it for the time being since you’ve already made up your mind."

When David knew that he couldn’t dissuade her, he had no choice but to sign the discharge application form.

That day, Joanna packed up her things and pushed Jovan out rapidly, ignoring that night had fallen.

"No, darling! Are we running away? Do we have to be in such a hurry?"

Sitting in the wheelchair, Jovan became confused.

He heard the hospital’s clock just now. It was midnight... at the moment.

He could not figure out why they had to leave the hospital at this hour. Would they have to catch the last bus or ride something else?

"Yes, we’re in a hurry."

Joanna closed the door behind her and pushed Jovan to the elevator. She kept looking around in a sneaky manner as if she was a thief.

Most of the people were asleep if they were leaving at this hour. So, the probability of meeting the people they should not meet was at its lowest.

"Can you tell me why you are in such a hurry?"

Jovan wanted to get to the bottom of it.
