Chapter 1268
Jennie was at the Aroma Cafe at one o'clock. She had specially dressed up to be beautiful and alluring.
She had arrived early and had been waiting for a long time.
After waiting for about ten minutes, there was a slight snick.
The door of the private room was pushed open.
Bruce walked in with a gloomy expression.
Although he was still tall and sturdy, it was difficult to hide the heaviness and defeat in his body.
Jennie subconsciously stood up and looked at Bruce in surprise. "Bruce, long time no see..."
He was almost unrecognizable.
He was no longer the high-spirited, cold, and noble young gentleman he used to be.
However, he was still very manly and could make her heart race. Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.
"Jennie, long time no see!" Bruce's voice was a little hoarse.
Jennie had also become more mature. She was no longer the delicate and arrogant young lady from
before. "Bruce, sit!
"Why did you ask to meet me today?"
Bruce sat down opposite her and said bluntly, "There's something I need your help with!"
Jennie's eyes flickered as she looked at him deeply. "Just tell me. As long as it is something I can do, I
will definitely help you."
Bruce frowned slightly and said solemnly, "I need a few ships that can travel far. It's best if they have
military equipment to resist pirates."
When she heard this, her hand froze while she was pouring the coffee.
"Also, we need a group of experienced sailors and captains."
"Bruce, are you going out to sea?" Jennie asked subconsciously.
Bruce had several private yachts.
Each yacht was worth tens of millions of dollars. It was enough for him to go out to sea. Why would he
ask to borrow a ship from her?
"Can you get them for me?" Bruce asked in a deep voice.
"Yes, I can. But what do you need a ship for?"
"I'm going to South Elmerton!"
There was a short silence. Jennie was shocked when she heard that.
As far as she knew, the Everett Group did not have many businesses in South Elmerton.
"Bruce, why are you going to South Elmerton? Besides, now that something like this has happened to
Joanna, can you leave?"
"Don't worry about anything else. I need you to help me with this right now."
Jennie pondered for a few seconds and agreed readily. "Alright, no problem. I'll help you with it!"
"Thank you, Jennie.
"I won't let you help for free. I'll pay you double."
"Bruce, you're treating me like an outsider."
"I still need the navigation chart for South Elmerton, as well as all the equipment needed to go out to
sea."
"I might not be able to help you with anything else, but don't worry about this."
Bruce and Jennie chatted for more than an hour.
Then, he bade farewell and left.
The next day, Joanna was taken into the ambulance and was about to be sent to the hospital in the
capital.
Bruce escorted her all the way to the capital and settled her in the hospital.
"Joann, goodbye!
"I'll come and pick you up as soon as I get back," Bruce said as he caressed her cheek.
Joanna was still lying there lifelessly and did not display any reaction.
"Don't worry. When you open your eyes, everything will be fine. Have a good sleep and wait for your
husband to come back." The more Bruce spoke, the sadder he became. His tears could not help but
fall.
If the heavens were to take pity on him and let him return safely, he would never leave her again.
"Mr. Everett, the plane is about to take off."
Bruce hid his tears and reminded the butler worriedly, "You must take good care of Joann. Don't let
anything else happen to her."
"Mr. Everett, don't worry. We will definitely take good care of her."
Bruce's eyes were moist as he looked at Joanna affectionately.
Joanna was safely sent to the hospital in the capital.
He, on the other hand, was about to embark on the journey to South Elmerton.
He didn't know if they would ever meet again in their lives.
"Goodbye, my wife!" Bruce waved his hand and turned to walk towards the airport.
This time, he only brought six bodyguards with him to South Elmerton.
Of course, there were also a large number of bodyguards and mercenaries who had already flown to
Fort John from different countries.
