The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 672
"She’s injured?" Ace’s calm expression immediately disappeared, and he sounded agitated as he asked urgently, " When did this happen?" "Just now...
She joined a competition organized by some kindergarten and fell off a high platform.
It’s pretty serious." Owen had watched the live broadcast of that competition out of boredom.
After seeing Ace’s reaction, he became even more curious about Ace and Joanna’s relationship.
He smirked and said teasingly, "She’s a mother with two kids, but you’re interested in her.
You both must have a very interesting story...
Maybe you’re the father of her kids." "Nonsense," Ace scoffed arrogantly, ’’I’m not so vulgar to have kids with a frivolous woman like her." The corners of Owen’s lips curved upwards into a knowing smile.
" Didn’t you lose your memory? How would you know? Did you ask your family about it?" "No, I didn’t," Ace argued stubbornly.
"My family would have brought the kids home if they were related to me instead of not mentioning them at all." "Maybe they have their concerns." Owen shrugged and continued, "Anyway, there’s no point in guessing.
I’ll give you a full check- up when you’re recovered and see if I can help treat your brain.
If it goes smoothly, everything will come to light." "Okay." Ace nodded because that was the only possible solution now.
Meanwhile, his mind was fixed on something else.
The minute Owen left, Ace pulled the needle of his drip out, changed into clean clothes, and left the hospital secretly.
Elijah was waiting for Ace in a car downstairs.
He saw Ace’s pale face and frowned in concern.
"Sir, isn’t it bad for you to leave the hospital now?" "We’re leaving. Hurry up and start the car," Ace ordered icily.
"Okay, I’ll start the car now..." After starting the car, Elijah gripped the steering wheel and asked hesitantly, "But... where are we going? The company?" Ace’s eyes narrowed menacingly, and he stopped himself from strangling Elijah.
"Didn’t I tell you I’m going to Joanna?" "Ah, did you say that? You just ordered me to come pick you up." Elijah tried to defend himself when he sensed Ace’s murderous aura.
Ace closed his eyes, clenching his fists as he bit out, "Have I made myself clear now? I’m going to Joanna!" "Oh, you want to see Miss Pierce. What a surprise! I’m sure you have different feelings for her.
Well, you should have told me earlier...
She’s staying in the same hospital as you." Elijah tried to emphasize how special Joanna was to Ace, and yelped when Ace whacked him.
"You’re losing your mind. Don’t you have enough on your plate? I don’t mind giving you more work!" Ace shot Elijah a cold glare.
"It’s alright, I have enough work. I’ll take you to her now." Elijah parked the car and opened the door for Ace before they walked into the hospital.
Joanna had indeed sprained her waist, and was quickly rushed to the orthopedics department, which happened to be on the same floor where Ace was warded.
After ages of wandering around, Ace was right back where he started.
At that moment, a lot of Joanna’s relatives and friends had gathered in the ward, including Clara and Justin.
All of them rushed there when they heard the news.
Hence, Ace could not get close to Joanna.
He wasn’t thick- skinned enough to approach her under such circumstances.
When a nurse came out of the ward, Ace gave Elijah a meaningful look, and Elijah immediately understood.
Elijah went up to the nurse and pulled her to a corner.
"Miss, I would like to ask you something.
How is the patient in that ward?" The nurse looked at them cautiously.
"Who are you two? Are you her family? If you’re not, I can’t tell you anything because our patients’ information is strictly confidential." "Yes, we’re her family. Mr.Moran here is the patient’s husband," Elijah said confidently.
"Husband?" The nurse scrutinized Ace in disbelief.
"Why didn’t you go in if you were her husband? You’re hiding here in the dark like a creep." "Why are you so stubborn? Just answer our question. You..." Ace massaged his temples and sighed exasperatedly, then pulled Elijah aside before he got into a fight with the nurse.
After that, he said to the nurse seriously, "Yes, I’m her husband but we got into a fight and I was too cowardly to go see her.
But I’m very worried about her, so...
Can you tell me how she is?" "Umm...
sure." The nurse gave in because of Ace’s handsome face.
"The patient is out of danger now, but her waist is seriously hurt.
She needs to rest for two to four weeks, and she’ll be fine if she recovers well.
If not..." "If not?" Ace asked urgently.
"She may end up paralyzed for the rest of her life," the nurse said hesitantly, and upon seeing Ace’s terrifying expression, quickly fled.
"Paralyzed forever? That’s horrible!" Elijah exclaimed in horror after the initial shock wore off.
He looked at Ace and said carefully, "Don’t worry, Mr. Moran. The medical staff always exaggerate and try to create worst-case scenarios. Miss Pierce is strong and healthy, so I’m sure she’ll recover soon." Ace was frozen to the spot for a long time, and after a while, he swallowed and said calmly, "Let’s go." "where are you going now?" Elijah glanced at Joanna’s crowded ward.
"I don’t think we should go in since it’s so crowded." "I’m feeling a little dizzy, so I want to go back and lie down." Ace stumbled a bit, looking crestfallen.
He had suffered a great blow, but he didn’t know if it was from his condition or Joanna’s.
"Where is he? How can he go missing?" When Susan arrived at the ward and found that Ace was missing, she condemned the medical staff and made a scene.
Right after that, Ace and Elijah soon walked in, and she sighed in relief.
She then asked angrily, " Where did you go? You’re going to be the death of me!"
