The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 816

Joanna looked out of the car window. The scenery outside was indeed getting more and more

desolate. They were al

already far away from the town. It had been a long time since they had encountered a village or a

pedestrian.

“This place seems to be abandoned. After driving for so long, I haven’t seen a single family, let alone a

village.”

“Why did Aria bring Mr. Everett here?”

Joanna frowned even more when she heard that.

Whatever the purpose was, all in all, it was definitely not a good thing.

Now that Aria had cancer, it was very likely that she wanted to die here with Bruce.

Thinking of this, Joanna became even more uneasy. She wished she could grow wings and fly to

Bruce’s side.

Half an hour later, they arrived at Koada Town.

Joanna followed the location and finally met up with Darcy.

“There’s Darcy and the others in front. You can stop now.”

When Darcy and the others saw a car approaching, they hurriedly waved at it. “Miss Haynes, you’re

finally here.”

The car stopped.

Joanna hurriedly got out of the car and asked anxiously, “Darcy, how is it?”

Darcy then unfolded a map. “This is a map of the local area. We’ve already searched these places

marked in red. There’s no trace of Mr. Everett.

“For now, we can only continue to search north. We’ll search region by region, and every place we

have been will be marked with a red line.”

Cherron looked at the map and frowned. “Huh? There are still so many places. How long will it take to

find them?”

“Well, I think we’ll need another three to four days to search through all the surrounding areas,” Darcy

said as he circled a few landmarks with his pen.

“It’s just that this area is very barren. There’s not even a gas station. We’ll have to go to the gas station

62 miles away when we need to refuel the car.”

When Joanna heard this, she became even more frustrated.

If they continued searching like this, how long would it take them to find Bruce?

Although the 31 miles range was not too big, it was not easy to find someone immediately.

“Bring me the map. Let me see it.”

Darcy immediately handed the map to Joanna. “Miss Haynes, here you go!”

Joanna took the map, unfolded it on the hood of the car, and began to study it in detail.

Many of the landmarks on it had been circled in red by Darcy.

Joanna studied the map carefully for a while. Now, they could only try their best to narrow down the

area.

“The map shows the strait line starts here. There’s no way they’re going there.

“And there are mountains nearby, so it’s not convenient for cars to drive. Therefore, there’s a high

chance that they’ll head north…”

As she spoke, Joanna saw a small landmark at the bottom of the map. “Hey, what is this place?”

“Oh, this seems to be a pastoral area, but I heard that there was a plague twenty years ago, and many

villagers died.

“After that, it was abandoned and became a forbidden area.”

Joanna listened and stared at the place named Mutland for a long time.

Since there were villagers living there, it proved that there were conditions suitable for human survival

there.

Even though it was abandoned now, many pieces of equipment from the past had been preserved. It

was most suitable for hiding or living in seclusion. It was far more convenient than exploring an

unfamiliar environment.

“Let’s go look around this place!”

When Darcy and Cherron heard this, their faces were filled with disbelief. “Miss Haynes, this place is

desolate and remote. Aria shouldn’t have brought Mr. Everett here, should she?

“I suggest that we look for these places first. After we finish searching these places, if we don’t find

them, we’ll go there to

look.”

“That’s right! Mutland is quite far away. Why should we give up what’s near and seek what’s far?”

Joanna shook her head subconsciously when she heard that.

She had a feeling that Aria would definitely bring Bruce here.

If she was Aria, she would definitely find a convenient and remote place.

“Listen to me. Let’s search here first.”

“Benny, Tommy, you guys search around here. Darcy and I will go to Mutland.”

“Well, okay.”

“Then that’s it. We’ll split up and take action’ immediately.”

“Okay.”

They did not say anything else and got into the car.

They split up and took action.

In the ranch, Bruce tried to sit

1.

Aria left the house and went outside to get the third antiviral serum.

Five minutes later, Aria walked in with a syringe in her hand.

Bruce subconsciously glanced at her and then at the syringe in her hand. “Aria…”

Aria smiled gently at him. “This is the third serum. I’ll inject it into you now.”

Hearing this, Bruce squeezed out a stiff smile. “Okay, thank you!

*

Aria lifted the blanket and put his arms in suitable positions. “Relax. Don’t be nervous. The injection will

be quick.”

Bruce lay weakly on the pillow and looked at Aria without blinking.

Aria took out the disinfectant iodine and began to wipe his arm gently. “After the virus is injected, you’ll

be very sleepy.

“However, you don’t have to worry. This is a normal drug reaction.

“Originally, I had to stop for two days before I could inject you, but you’re in such a hurry now, so I could

only inject you first.”

As Aria operated, she talked to him to distract him.

“It’s okay. I can handle it,” Bruce replied indifferently. At the same time, his eyelids seemed to weigh a

thousand pounds.

The next second, a crystal pendant suddenly appeared in front of him.

The heart-shaped pendant swayed back and forth in front of his eyes in a regular pattern.

His eyelids became heavier every time the pendant swayed.

In less than ten seconds, he felt his eyelids so heavy that he could not open his eyes.

“Bruce, you’re very sleepy now. You need to sleep.

“Just relax. Just relax a little more. Don’t think about anything. You just need a good night’s sleep.”

Aria’s voice, accompanied by the swaying of the crystal pendant, produced a huge hypnotic effect.

Bruce’s eyelids grew heavier and heavier until they finally closed completely.

His entire body felt like sinking into the clouds and kept falling. His body also became weaker and

weaker, and he felt more and more weightless.

“Bruce, continue to relax. Relax a little more… This is property © NôvelDrama.Org.

“You need to sleep. Relax your nerves. Empty everything. Empty everything again. Don’t think about

anything. Your mind is blank right now…”

Bruce’s eyes had completely closed as he entered a state of light sleep.

“Okay, you’re totally relaxed now.

“Then do as I say, okay?”

Bruce’s consciousness entered a light sleep state. He couldn’t hear anything but Aria’s voice.

His brain and consciousness involuntarily followed her voice and issued instructions to cooperate.

“Bruce, I’m going to ask you a question now. You just have to tell me what you saw.

“Is there a door in front of you?”

As soon as Aria finished speaking, a door immediately appeared in Bruce’s mind.

“Open the door…” Aria’s voice carried a hint of warm temptation as she put the crystal pendant in front

of him away.

She knew that he had already entered a hypnotic state.

Now she was going to purge him of all memories so that he would remember only what she looked

like.

“Open that door and you’ll see your wife.”

Bruce listened and followed the voice that was reminding him. He slowly walked toward the door.

“That’s your wife. Please remember her face and walk over to hug her.”

Bruce had already entered a hypnotic state. As if he was dreaming, he was about to push open the

door.

The nerves in his brain jumped.

“No, am I dreaming?” Bruce suddenly stopped as he walked toward the door.

“No, I’m not dreaming. I’m… hypnotized.

“I can’t be hypnotized by her. I definitely can’t…” Bruce talked to himself in his mind.

Bruce’s consciousness tightened, and he suddenly regained a trace of consciousness from the

hypnosis state.

However, the cerebral cortex sent an uncontrollable command for him to open the door.

“No, I can’t follow the instructions.”

Bruce used all his strength to bite the tip of his tongue.

The sharp pain on the tip of his tongue woke him up a little more. He began to pinch his fingers again,

trying to keep himself awake from the pain.

Hypnosis was very effective on people with weak consciousness.

It was hard to hypnotize people with strong willpower. Some people were strong-willed and were not

easily affected or controlled by brain waves.

As a top talent of the National Defense Bureau, Bruce was naturally strong-willed.
