Chapter 305
Joanna held Jaydon tightly, feeling heartbroken. “Jay, you must stay strong!
“Doctor, please come quickly! We need help!”
Soon enough, the doctor and nurses arrived.
The doctor administered a sedative to Jaydon and then tended to his wounds.
The nurses quickly cleaned up the ward!
After receiving the sedative, Jaydon quickly fell asleep.
“Mr. Grimm’s legs must not sustain further damage. He needs to be well taken care of.”
“Yes, I understand,” Joanna replied with a heavy heart.
She anxiously asked the doctor, “Doctor, will Jay’s legs be able to recover?”
The chief orthopedist looked solemn. “At the moment, it’s uncertain. Mr. Grimm’s central nervous system has suffered severe damage. In the medical field, the nervous system is the most difficult to heal.”
Joanna felt like she had been plunged into an icy abyss upon hearing this.
“What are the chances of a cure?”
“It’s hard to say. The likelihood of a full recovery is only 10%.
“The patient also needs to actively cooperate with the treatment and subsequent rehabilitation, which will be a lengthy process.
“For now, we need to find a way to help the patient overcome their emotional barriers and actively cooperate with the treatment.”
Alright, I understand!” Joanna replied.
After the doctor finished speaking, they went straight into their office without saying anything else.
In the corridor, Joanna sat absentmindedly in a chair with her mind blanked.
It was really it was truly an unexpected turn of events!
She never imagined that Jaydon would encounter such a tragedy.
It wouldn’t be easy to help him overcome his emotional barriers.
Lost in her thoughts, Joanna was startled by a stern and composed voice.
“Ms. Haynes!”
Hearing this, Joanna looked up.
She did not know when Tim had arrived. At this moment, he was standing before her with a grave expression.
Joanna felt a pang in her heart and quickly stood up, “Mr. Grimm, hello!”
Tim furrowed his brow and said with a sorrowful tone, “During this period, Jay’s mood has been extremely low, and no matter how much we try to console him, it doesn’t seem to work.”
Joanna instinctively bit her lip, feeling an immense heaviness in her heart.
Jaydon was her best friend and the person who had been the kindest to her.
If it weren’t for Jaydon, she wouldn’t have made it this far.
Tim adjusted his gold–colored glasses, and his face filled with sadness, “Ms. Haynes, I hope you can spend more time with Jay at the hospital.
“I guess you’re the only one who can talk him out of it. I’m counting on you.”
After a moment of contemplation, Joanna replied solemnly, “Mr. Grimm, please rest assured. I will stay by Jay’s side and accompany him.”
“Jay is the child I love the most, but unfortunately, he’s also the one I feel the most distant from.
“As his father, it deeply saddens me to see him go through such a hardship,” Tim said sorrowfully.
Hearing Tim’s words, Joanna felt an overwhelming sadness.
However, she didn’t know how to comfort Tim.
“Good things come to good people, and Jay will surely recover,” Joanna said, trying to offer some reassurance.
Tim said, “I hope so!
“I’m leaving now. Please stay here and accompany Jay”
“Okay!”
Tim left with his butler and assistant without saying much more.
The door to the ward opened.
Jaydon had been in a deep sleep for over two hours before he slowly regained consciousness.
Joanna had been by his side the entire time, and as she noticed Jaydon’s neck move, she quickly leaned in to check, “Jay, are you awake?”
Jaydon weakly opened his eyes, taking a moment to regain his awareness. “Joann…”
Joanna looked at Jaydon tenderly, her gaze filled with warmth. “Are you hungry? Would you like something to eat?”
Jaydon hesitated for a moment, then shook his head with a sense of desolation. He immediately closed his eyes again.
He had no appetite for anything at the moment. He felt utterly disheartened.
“Jay, get up and eat something!”
“I bought this spaghetti myself. Have some!”
Jaydon’s face was clouded over. His voice was hoarse as sand rubbed against the edge like gravel. “Joann, you don’t have to stay here.”
Joanna quickly reassured and comforted him, “Jay, I’ve said I will be by your side until you recover.
“I spoke to the doctor. They said you have nerve damage, but it still has a good chance of healing.
“Don’t lose hope. Lilia couldn’t walk since she was born! I thought she would never be able to walk in her lifetime!”
Joanna continued, “But there’s always hope. There is a doctor in Gaprington who can treat Lilia’s leg condition. She is too young now, but she can undergo corrective surgery next year!”
Jaydon’s eyes flickered with a slight heaviness.
He didn’t believe Joanna’s words at all.
Joanna paused for a moment, then continued, “You see, even congenital disabilities can be treated successfully, let alone your condition, which was caused by a car accident. So please, don’t lose hope!”
Jaydon replied, “Joann, I know you’re trying to comfort me.”
“No, I’m telling the truth!”
Joanna insisted. “Even if you can’t walk in the future, there are advanced prosthetics available. With them, you can still walk like a normal person.
“Jay, you have to believe in yourself” Joanna held Jaydon’s hand tightly, her beautiful eyes shining with encouragement.
Jaydon felt even more heartbroken as he looked into Joanna’s eyes.
“Come on, eat something! You need to take care of your body,” Joanna urged.
“I don’t want to eat!” Jaydon’s mood plummeted to the lowest point, unaffected by Joanna’s persuasion.
For two consecutive days, Joanna remained in the hospital, taking care of Jaydon and giving him encouragement and confidence.
However, her efforts seemed to have little effect, as Jaydon’s emotions remained incredibly low and depressed.
After all, this was not an ordinary setback that could be resolved with a few words of comfort.
Joanna felt helpless. At this rate, Jaydon’s health would only worsen.
On the third day, Joanna made a significant decision after careful consideration.
She wanted to marry Jaydon and take care of him for the rest of his life.
“Jay, do you still love me?” Joanna asked.
Jaydon was stunned. His dispirited eyes trembled slightly.
From the moment he laid eyes on Joanna when they were teenagers, Jaydon had deeply fallen in love with her.
However, they were both underage at that time, and it was merely an innocent infatuation.
It wasn’t until their university years that he truly fell in love with her.
His feelings had remained unchanged ever since.
Joanna gathered her courage and looked deeply into Jaydon’s eyes. “Jay, if you still love me, would you…. let me be your wife?”
Jaydon had always loved her.
She was unsure how to comfort him, but if she could uplift his spirits, she would marry him.
Jaydon furrowed his brows slightly, expressing his sadness. “Joann, you don’t have to do this.

I am now in this state and can’t provide you happiness. Don’t pity me, and don’t joke about your own happiness.”
Joanna trembled as she listened and said camestly, “No, I’m not pitying you!
“I genuinely like you, truly… love you.” Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.
Her eyes flickered involuntarily as she spoke.
For Jaydon, there was gratitude and appreciation in her heart.
In the past, she had carried a burden and couldn’t accept Jaydon’s love.
Now, when Jaydon was at his most vulnerable, she felt it was necessary to offer him the support she could provide.
“Joann, you really don’t have to sacrifice yourself like this! I know the person you love is Bruce.”
Joanna held his hand tightly, gazing at him with warmth in her eyes. “No, it’s not true. I really love you!
“In the past, I felt that my divorce and having children made me unworthy of you, so I couldn’t accept your love.
“But now, as you said, life is unpredictable, and fortunes can change in an instant.”
Joanna continued, “There are some things that, if not done now, may never have a chance in the future! That day, you told me that if it was your last day, you wanted me by your side.
“After I went back, I kept thinking about that question. If my life had only one day left, I would want you and my children by my side.“”
Jaydon listened silently, and a glimmer of light flickered in his eyes.
He didn’t really believe what Joanna said!
After all, her ex–husband was Bruce.
Regardless of character, Bruce was indeed his strongest rival. Whether it was in terms of looks or family background, he stood out from the crowd.
It would be difficult to be attracted to another man after loving a remarkable man like Bruce..
“Jay, if you still love me, I’m willing to marry you! I want to be your wife, to take care of you for a lifetime, and to love you for a lifetime.”
“Joann, you really don’t have to do this…” Jaydon tried to pull his hand back.
“What do I need to say to make you believe?”
“I’m already a disabled person now, I can’t give you happiness!”
