Chapter 679
The other bodyguards hurriedly went forward to check on Bruce.
Bullets whizzed past Bruce’s scalp, and a fragment from one of them pierced into his skull. His tongue was now
bleeding, and his consciousness gradually blurred.
When Joanna heard the gunshots, she was even more frightened. “Bruce…”
The children were also frightened. “Bruce!”
The bodyguards formed a circle, surrounding Bruce, Davian, and Irvin.
“Joann, there’s a criminal. Hurry up and hide!”
Joanna could not care less. She hurriedly stood up and ran toward Bruce. “Bruce, Bruce!
“How’s Bruce?” Joanna asked anxiously.
“Mrs. Haynes, Mr. Everett is injured. We have to send him to the hospital quickly!”
Joanna had already come to Bruce’s side. When she saw the blood on Bruce’s head, she was even more frightened.
“Bruce, Bruce, nothing must happen to you!!”
“Mrs. Haynes, let’s take Mr. Everett to the hospital now.”
“Take Davian, Irvin, and Lilia home. I’ll go to the hospital with Bruce.”
“Yes, yes…
“Davian, Irvin, Lilia, quickly follow me into the car.”
“Joanna, we want to go to the hospital with you!”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Be good and go home quickly.” Joanna did not have the time to comfort the children. She instructed the
bodyguards to send the children home first.
Soon.
Bruce was carried into the car and rushed to the hospital.
In the car.
Bruce felt groggy and disoriented, as if he was caught in a whirlpool, spiraling downward.
Memories rewound like a fast-forward tape, crazily playing back in Bruce’s brain.
This gave Bruce a splitting headache, and he almost could not hold on.
Joanna was so frightened that she hugged Bruce tightly. “Bruce, you have to hold on. We’ll arrive at the hospital
soon.””
“Joann, my head hurts. My head hurts.”
Bruce’s head hurt so much that he was about to faint.
“We’ll arrive at the hospital soon. Bear with it.”
“Go faster, faster…
15 minutes later.
The driver drove Bruce to the hospital as fast as he could.
“Doctor, come out quickly! Mr. Everett is injured!”
The doctor and a few nurses had already received the call in advance and hurriedly pushed a stretcher over!
“Hurry up
and carry Mr. Everett onto the stretcher.”
Soon, Bruce was sent to the operating room.
Though Bruce’s head was not directly hit by a bullet, it was grazed by a fragment. One piece of bullet fragment was
deeply embedded into his skull.
“Hurry up and get the bullet fragment out.”
“Okay…” The nurses hurriedly made the preoperative preparations.
Outside the operating room.
Joanna’s hands were covered in blood. Her mind was blank, and she was in a daze.
“Bruce, please be alright, please be alright…”
The last time he had a craniotomy, the surgery was very risky. The doctor had issued two critical illness notices.
It was not easy for him to survive.
Unexpectedly, his head had to be operated on again.
This time, Joanna really did not know what would happen.
“Joann, don’t worry too much. Mr. Everett is lucky. He’ll definitely be fine.”
“He was just grazed by a bullet fragment, so there shouldn’t be any major issues.”
Joanna could not listen at all. Her entire body was covered in cold sweat.
“Joann, don’t be so nervous. It’ll be terrible if you hurt the fetus.” Miranda put her arm around Joanna’s shoulder
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmand comforted her.
Two hours later.
The lights in the operating room finally went out.
Joanna immediately stood up.
“Doctor, how is it?” Joanna asked nervously.
“I’ve taken the bullet fragment out and bandaged Mr. Everett’s head. Mr. Everett is still in a coma. He might not
wake up so
soon.”
“Is he alright? Will his life be in danger?”
“Don’t worry too much for the time being. His life is in no danger.”
“Oh, that’s good, that’s good…” Joanna finally felt relieved.
“However, Mr. Everett might…”
“What is it?” Joanna asked.
“I can’t say for sure yet, but Mr. Everett will probably have other sequelae. You have to be mentally prepared.”
Boom.
When Joanna heard this, her heart sank even further, and she staggered.
Joanna thought to herself, “Bruce will have other sequelae?
“Will he completely remain in a vegetative state this time? Will he completely become a fool?”
“Bruce, nothing must happen to you!” Joanna said.
Joanna could not hold back her tears and started sobbing. It was already difficult enough, and she really could not
bear any more hardships.
She was really afraid that Bruce would die. It was very soon.
