Joanne was lying face down on the bed, staring at Brian. "Do you think this is interesting?"

Brian raised his eyebrows and looked like he did not care much. Joanne immediately understood what he meant: No.

Joanne almost became angry and she struggled. "Then why don't you let me go!"

Brian smiled. "Joanne, when you decided to stay last night, you should have known that you can't go."

"..." Joanne turned her head in anger.

She was going to slip away before Brian woke up. Who knew that she couldn't decide it on her own!

Being depressed for a moment, Joanne used her trump card. "I told you that I have to take the documents back to the police station. The archives need them today, so I have to..."

Before Joanne finished speaking, Brian had already found the documents in her bag and made a phone call.

Someone soon knocked on the door. Brian took the documents and went out to explain to the person outside the door. "Take these to the archives of the municipal police station immediately."

"Ok."

The door of the ward was closed again. Brian returned and said, "I know that you have resigned. It's not necessary for you to take the documents in person."

"..." Joanne looked at Brian with fierce eyes.

"What else is there?" Brian asked.

"..." Joanne shook her head honestly. What else could she have? Was there anything that Brian couldn't easily break her with?!

Brian satisfactorily hooked his lips and sat down on the sofa, patted it, and said, "Come to eat breakfast."

Joanne originally wanted to say that she had no appetite, but her stomach made some sound out of place. She remembered the children in her belly so she obediently walked over, but refused to sit with Brian and chose the single sofa next to him.

Brian did not care, otherwise Joanne might really bite people if she became irritated.

Martha brought the raw porridge, perhaps she thought of Brian's stomach bleeding, so the chef mashed the porridge, the texture of which was not much firmer than liquid. The fish fillet should be put in last, and each piece was complete and delicious, mixed with the aroma of onion and ginger, which was very delicious.

Brian gave Joanne a bowl of porridge and told her to eat. Joanne stared at the fish fillet in the porridge, feeling awkward.

She was afraid that the smell of fish would cause her nausea, and if she vomited, she couldn't hold anything in.

Seeing Joanne hesitating, Brian raised his eyebrows. "Don't want to have porridge?"

She always liked to eat porridge in the morning, especially raw porridge, so there was no reason to refuse.

Joanne pouted, picked up the bowl, and said, "I just don't want to eat porridge with you!"

Brian was not angry but laughed. "Unfortunately, as long as I am still hospitalized, you will have to eat porridge with me."

Joanne groaned and said in disbelief, "You want me to stay with you in the hospital?"

Brian said in a natural tone of voice, "For another two days, then we will go home."

Joanne put down the spoon and shook her head. "Brian, you can't do this, we are divorced."

"You came back first," Brian looked at Joanne and said word by word, "Joanne, I can't let you go."

"..."

Joanne knew that Brian was not joking, and she suddenly felt a headache.

Just then, the phone hanging at the bedside rang again. This time, the voice of Rosalyn was heard in the receiver. "Brian, it's me."

Brian frowned and was going to reject her, when the phone in his hand was suddenly taken away by Joanne. She said into the microphone, "Wait a minute."

After that, Joanne went straight out, and Brian held her hand from behind. "Where are you going?"

"To open the door for the guest."

Joanne looked at Brian in bewilderment. She did not realize that her tone contained a strong sense of jealousy, nor did she realize that she still regarded herself as Mrs. Lambert in the position of the hostess regarding Rosalyn, who came to visit, as a guest.

Brian noticed it, felt satisfied, and smiled as he loosened Joanne's hand.

Joanne only thought that he had changed his face faster than flipping a page in a book. She said, "Bewildering," then went to open the door for Rosalyn.

Rosalyn just heard the voice of Joanne on the phone, so she was not surprised when she saw her open the door. She symbolically nodded to her and went straight into the ward.

She sat down by Brian and asked with concern, "I heard from your assistant that your situation is very serious. How do you feel now?"

"Thank you, much better." Brian frowned and didn't seem to appreciate it. "Why are you here?"

"... I wanted to see you." How could Rosalyn not feel the alienation of Brian? But she still squeezed out a smile and said meaningfully, "Besides, it would be unreasonable if I didn't come here."

Joanne knew what Rosalyn meant immediately.

Everyone had known about the divorce between her and Brian, and the Internet was full of support for Rosalyn to be together with Brian. In the interviews of the previous few days, Rosalyn did not deny that she liked Brian, which caused a stir at the time. Brian did not respond, and she still did not deny it. It was obvious that she had put all of herself out.

Now Brian was sick and hospitalized. She went to the hospital to see him under the lens of the media. It was a good opportunity for speculation.

Joanne wondered whether she, as Brian's ex-wife... should take the opportunity to leave or not.

Before she put this idea into action, Brian's voice came from behind. "Joanne, come back!"

Joanne had chills on her back and went back to him.

Originally, she wanted to be as far away as possible from Brian, but he pulled her over to him. His hands wrapped around her waist and he whispered in her ear, "There is a guest here, it's very impolite to leave now, remember?"

Her ear was surrounded by his breath, both familiar and ambiguous. Joanne subconsciously looked at Rosalyn, catching the murderous smoldering under her eyes.

Right, people thought that she and Brian had divorced and completely broke up, but now they looked nothing like ex-husband and ex-wife.

Joanne suddenly thought that if her previous guess was correct-that Rosalyn was cooperating with Rowdy-then Rowdy would soon know that she and Brian had not broken through Rosalyn. Then Rowdy would doubt her use of fake divorce to lie to him.

Next, she would receive a call from Rowdy, or a threat.

In other words, the more intimate she was with Brian, the more she could provoke Rosalyn to be angry, thus she would be more likely to contact Rowdy after she walked out of the door.

Thinking of this, Joanne put on a delicate and pretty smile, relying on Brian. "Who said that I am leaving? I am going to pour water for the guest. Are you thirsty?"

Brian stared at Joanne with surprise. "She suddenly became so obedient, there must be a reason."

Before Brian answered, she went back and poured two glasses of water. She put one glass in front of Rosalyn, then drank the other one and gave it to Brian. The action was so intimate and she thought that there was nothing wrong with that.

If she and Brian were still husband and wife, there was nothing wrong with drinking from the same glass of water.

But the matter of them being divorced was well known, and such behavior was too intimate!

Rosalyn took the glass of water, took a sip shallowly, and at the moment of bowing her head, her eyes were cold and almost killing.

She thought that Joanne would no longer appear next to Brian, but she now clearly had the identity of Mrs. Lambert!

"Miss Rosalyn," Joanne suddenly spoke, "thank you for coming to see Brian." Then she naturally held Brian's hand and looked at Rosalyn in a provocative manner.

Rosalyn's heart was already full of anger, but she was an actress after all. She didn't even appear to be stiff for a moment, and she smiled. "I thought Miss Scott would not be here." There was something hiding in the words.

Joanne tilted her head. "Why?" she asked with a hint of an innocent expression, as if she really couldn't understand Rosalyn's warnings and hints.

Rosalyn almost smashed her teeth.

Brian had seen enough of this, so he asked her to leave. "Miss Rosalyn, I have something talk about with Joanne. If there is nothing else, you can leave."

"I am also waiting for the report." Rosalyn found an excuse for herself. "Now the report should have come out, I should go."

Brian did not care about why Rosalyn had to do the inspection, and he said faintly, "Take care."

Joanne loosened Brian's hand and took Rosalyn to go out politely.

Before going out of the ward, they did not speak tacitly. When they arrived at the elevator, Rosalyn finally became fierce and stunned. She stared at Joanne with a beautiful look. "What the hell are you doing!"

Joanne smiled and said, "You thought that I would not be here? I always thought that you would not do it. I didn't expect that your true intention was to force me to divorce him."

Rosalyn was not annoyed and angry after she was exposed, she just smiled coldly. "I did not expect that you'd still have hope."

"Regardless of whether I have hope or not, you have no chance," Joanne smiled brightly and harmlessly as she said word by word, "because-he is not interested in what has been used by other people."

No matter how good her acting was, Rosalyn couldn't hold her anger in. "Joanne! Are you not afraid of me withdrawing the loan?!" The sharp voice was close to a roar.

Joanne shrugged slightly, turned, and walked back to the ward.

Of course, she was afraid that Rosalyn would call Oscar to withdraw the loan, but what she needed to figure out now was whether Rosalyn and Rowdy were collaborating.

She believed that there would be an answer soon.

As Rosalyn stared at Joanne's back, her eyes could almost spurt fire from the anger. The elevator door soon slid open. She stepped into the elevator with one step at a time, and found the phone from her bag and dialed the number of Rowdy.

"You said that Joanne didn't dare to lie to you. Oh, you were too naive to trust her!" Her voice was almost stiff and shivering. "Do you know where she is now? She is with Brian!"

Rowdy asked slowly, "Is Brian in the hospital?"

"Yes, Joanne is also in the hospital." Rosalyn felt hateful when just thinking of it. "She didn't look like she had divorced Brian at all!"

Rowdy on the other end was silent for a long time, then smiled with interest. "She dares to lie to me?" then after a pause, "It is better like this."

This was even more interesting.
