The Unstoppable Comeback Of the Unrivaled Ex-Wife-Chapter 600

"Do you sleepwalk?" "I did when I was a kid, but I haven’t done it in years." Joanna

sleepwalked when she was young, and it scared her parents out of their wits. Her whole family did not even dare to take a deeper breath for fear of frightening her.

Joanna recalled her past and explained, ’My parents tried everything to cure my

sleepwalking. They tried both traditional and modern medical treatments on me. Well, to be honest... My mom even found a traditional trick to cure me."

"Traditional trick?"

"Yes, it’s called spiritual calling. She found an expert on it who came to my house to call my spirit in four different directions... The expert claimed that my energy was too weak, so I was attacked by something evil. That was why I started to sleepwalk."

"That’s pure superstition." Ace was full of disdain.

"Yes, it is, but I never sleepwalked again after that. I don’t know why I started to do it again recently. Could it be... Was I attacked by something evil again?"

"Of course not!" Ace glared at her. Surprisingly, he seemed to be worried about her. He then said icily, "We have to believe in science. You’re strong and lively, so nothing would dare to attack you."

"Yes, that’s true." Joanna nodded. She was not blind-she could see how worried he was about her. Warmth bloomed in her heart like a flower, and joy filled her. She had to hide that warmth so no one could discover it.

"But you’ve been calling me ’Cutie’ all night. Who is that?" Ace asked curiously.

"Er..." She smiled awkwardly. "Cutie was my dog. We were very close, but it disappeared after a while."

Ace’s face sank, and he felt like scolding her. "So, you regarded me as a dog all night?"

"No, I wouldn’t dare." She quickly dodged him and took the chance to put on her clothes.

Amidst the banter, sparks flew and feelings grew.

As he looked at Joanna, memories flashed in Ace’s mind. They were about Joanna...

"Agh..." He groaned, holding his aching head.

"What’s wrong?" Joanna nervously went to him and held his shoulders.

"It feels like someone’s cutting my head open with a knife... Agh, it hurts so much!" Ace sounded agonised.

"Let it go. Stop thinking about it... Close your eyes, and relax." Joanna felt very sorry for him.

She kneeled on the plush carpet and embraced him as if she was coaxing Adie or Abby.

Silence ensued. Ace felt the warmth from her body and smelled her soothing scent.

"I’m sorry." After he regained his wits, he carefully pushed her away.

"It’s fine. I know that... your body isn’t very good right now." Joanna felt a bit awkward as she smoothed her clothes.

"That’s right. It’s all because of you and your brother." His gaze was glued on her as he said icily, "So, keep that in mind. You’ll always owe me!"

Joanna was stunned. She had a glib tongue, but she did not defend herself or argue with him this time. She kept her head low and echoed his words,"

"Yes, I’ll always owe you."

Ace lifted her chin and growled, "So, don’t think you’ll get rid of me that easily!"

"Are you going to persuade her?’ Joanna rolled her eyes and scoffed, ’Stop messing around.

You’re the cause of all this, and if you go in there now, you’ll only aggravate her. I wouldn’t risk it."

"You’re wrong. The so-called ’Night Demon’ is the cause of this tragedy," Ace sneered, then pushed past Joanna into the ward.

"Hey, you..." Joanna tried to go after him, but was stopped by a nurse.

"I’m sorry, I can’t allow you to enter since the patient isn’t comfortable around you. We can’t afford the patient’s condition worsening," the nurse explained carefully.

"No way! He can go in, so why can’t I?’ Joanna spluttered in shock. To her disbelief, the chaos in the ward faded a few minutes after Ace walked in. Eventually, he walked out of the ward, looking as elegant and poised as always.

"Why did you come out?" Joanna peered into the ward and asked suspiciously, "What’s going on in there? Why didn’t I hear anything?"

"She calmed down. The nurse is setting up an IV drip for her and tending to her," Ace

calmly replied.

"What? What did you say to her?!"

"Nothing. I just asked her to rest well and get better... so she can get her revenge."

"What?! Why would you say such a thing? She finally escaped from Benjamin, but you want her to go back and get revenge on him? Are you trying to ruin her?" Joanna asked angrily.

"Who said I asked her to take revenge on Benjamin?" Ace looked at Joanna condescendingly.

"Who else could she take revenge on? I doubt you’d ask her to take revenge on you,"

Joanna said, looking confused. After Ace lost his memory, he’d become more complex and shrewd. She couldn’t read him the way she did before.

"I asked her to take revenge on your brother," he explained expressionlessly.

Joanna’s jaw dropped. She gaped at him indignantly for a few seconds, then snarled, "Are you out of your mind? Didn’t we call a truce? Why are you going after my brother again?

You’re the one who ruined their relationship before this, and now you’re trying to do it again. How can you be so cruel?"

Ace didn’t even flinch at Joanna’s angry accusations. "The grudge between Taylor and your brother would still exist even if wasn’t around; I didn’t have to persuade her to do anything."

"You..." Joanna wanted to argue, but something made her hesitate. In the back of her mind, she knew that there had to be something she was missing here, especially given Taylor’s attitude towards her and Quinton.

Something had made them fall out with each other, and maybe Ace had only added fuel to the fire.

"So, do you know what happened between my brother and Taylor? They used to rely on each other, but now, she seems to hate him. Why’s that?" Joanna asked Ace curiously.

She felt that he probably knew the reason, which was why Taylor felt like she owed him. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"Yes, I do know," he said bluntly.
