The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 772

Joanna frowned and asked worriedly, “Tommy, did you go on a business trip to Antlen with Bruce?”

“Oh, yes!”

“Where is he now? Why haven’t I been able to contact him?

“Did something happen? Is he with you right now? Please put him on the phone. Tell him that I have

something important to tell him.” Joanna could no longer care about being angry with Bruce as she

asked Tommy a series of questions.

Tommy pondered for a few seconds. “Well… I’m not with Mr. Everett now, and I’m not very clear about

his status.

“Miss Haynes, why don’t you call Darcy and ask him?”

“I can’t get through to Darcy either. That’s why I could only call you.” Joanna told Tommy.

Tommy frowned. “Miss Haynes, I’m sorry, I don’t know about Mr. Everett.”

When Bruce had been sent to the hospital, he had briefly regained consciousness.

Before Bruce was brought to the operating theater, he had specially instructed his subordinates not to

tell Joanna that something had happened to him.

Bruce didn’t want to scare her.

Therefore, the bodyguards did not dare to tell Joanna the truth.

Joanna felt a tightening in her chest and asked anxiously, “Tommy, where did you go, then?”

“Mr. Everett sent me to Juscela on a business trip. I’m on my way to Juscela now.” Tommy answered.

“Alright, then.” Joanna hung up weakly.

Joanna had a feeling that something must have happened to Bruce.

Otherwise, Bruce would have answered her call. Even if he was busy and missed her call, when Bruce

saw a missed call from her, he would call her back.

Joanna was extremely uneasy and sent a message to Bruce, [Bruce, why can’t I get through to you?

Call me back when you see this message. Devin is sick. I have something important to tell you.]

Joanna had deliberately said in the message that their son was sick and hoped Bruce would call her

back as soon as possible

As long as Joanna could confirm that Bruce was safe, she would not think of anything else.

Bruce could do whatever he wanted to in Antlen if that was the case.

At the hospital, Bruce lay unconscious in the hospital bed for a full day and night before finally waking Têxt belongs to NôvelDrama.Org.

up.

Seeing that Bruce had woken up, Aria immediately went up to him. “Bruce, you’re awake?”

Bruce blinked weakly and looked at Aria in confusion. “Where am I?”

Aria held Bruce’s hand, her eyes especially red and swollen from crying. “Bruce, this is the hospital.”

“Hospital?” Bruce looked around.

There were white colors everywhere, and the air smelled of disinfectant.

“How long have I been unconscious?”

“You’ve been unconscious for a whole day and night. You almost scared me to death.” As Aria spoke,

she couldn’t help but cry bitterly.

Bruce frowned and subconsciously pulled his hand back. “Aria, aren’t you supposed to be having

surgery in the hospital? Why are you here?”

“I was scared out of my wits when I heard you’d had an accident, so I rushed here overnight. Thank

goodness the doctor said the bullet happened to hit the middle of your bone crevice and missed your

vital areas.

“Otherwise, you wouldn’t be able to wake up now.” As Aria spoke, she buried her head in his arms and

cried weakly.

Seeing this, Bruce felt even more disgusted.

Bruce had a bad habit.

Bruce liked to chase after prey and did not like to be treated as one.

Similarly, in love, he liked to be the active party instead of the passive one.

The more Aria pestered him like this, the more disgusted Bruce felt.

Get up. I want to get out of bed…” Bruce pushed Aria away and struggled to get up.

“Bruce, don’t move.

“The doctor has already treated your wound. If you move around, it will affect your wound!

“Tell me what you need.”

“No, I have to hurry back home…” Bruce said as he lifted the blanket and tried to get out of bed.

However, Bruce’s body was very weak. As his wound was inflamed, his high fever was not subsiding

either.

“Bruce, hurry up and lie down. Your health is the most important now. Nothing will happen if you return

after you recover.”

Bruce lay back down weakly and subconsciously asked, “The criminals… how did it go?”

“The police are already investigating. They’ve got a preliminary conclusion. The gang are local

criminals, and the police had some problems with them as well.

“By shooting them, you did a public service to them all. It’s an act of self-defense. I’ve already found the

best lawyer to handle this.

“You should be fine soon. Don’t think too much about anything now. Just rest.”

“What about the products in the car?” Bruce asked.

“The police have taken the car into their custody. Once you sign it out, you can take the car back.” Aria

answered.

When Bruce Everett heard this, he frowned and did not say anything more.

Bruce had destroyed the virus and mixed it with a pile of mummified preserving agents.

The police were not professional biologists. Under normal circumstances, they would not be able to

detect it.

Bruce hissed as he moved his arm and felt a piercing pain.

Bruce probably wouldn’t be able to return home in the short term.

Aria looked at him and said weakly, “Bruce, rest well for a few days. Your body is very weak now. You

can’t continue like this.
