Chapter 773
“Aria, where’s my phone?” Bruce looked around for his phone.
“Oh crap,
I have to make a call’ quickly…” Bruce said.
Aria’s expression changed as she said weakly, “Oh, your phone can’t be turned on. Perhaps… it’s out of battery.”
Aria had seen the message Joanna had sent Bruce.
However, Aria had already deleted it.
Aria didn’t want Joanna to confuse Bruce further.
Bruce froze.
“Aria, you are so weak. You should quickly go and receive treatment.
“You don’t have to take care of me here. You should take care of yourself.”
Aria smiled and said in a carefree tone, “I’m fine. I’ll hold on for as long as I can.
“I… don’t want to undergo surgery.”
Bruce looked at Aria in confusion when he heard this. “Why?”
Aria didn’t say anything and just looked at him with a pitiful expression.

“The sooner you’re treated, the better your chances of recovery. If you drag this on, you’ll just be heading for
death.”
A trace of sadness appeared on-Aria’s face. Aria pretended to be strong and said, “Even if I undergo surgery, I
might not be able to survive.”
Bruce choked after he heard this, and for a moment, he didn’t know how to comfort her.
Aria smiled and spoke almost as if she was talking to herself, “I just want to cherish each of the remaining days I
have in this limited life of mine.
“I’ve asked the doctor. If I don’t undergo surgery, I can probably last for another three months.
“However, if I go through with the surgery and they find it’s malignant… I may not even last a week.
“So, I don’t want to do the surgery.”
Bruce sighed. “You’ll die if you don’t do the surgery. Even if there’s only a 10% chance, you should not give up.”
Aria let out a chuckle. “Even if I undergo surgery, I might not be able to live. Moreover, I have to lose all my hair
and become terrifyingly ugly.
“Instead of that, let me enjoy every day I have left.
“Even if I die, I want to maintain my most beautiful appearance.” As Aria spoke, she lowered her head weakly. Her
tears were about to fall, making one’s heart ache to look at her.
Bruce felt extremely stifled.
Bruce did not know what to say to persuade Aria to go for treatment.
Aria took a deep breath and said faintly, “Bruce, in the last moments of my life, I… I really want you to be by my
side.” As Aria spoke, the tears in her eyes fell.
“Don’t worry. I won’t ruin your relationship with your wife.
“After I die, you can return to your wife’s side. I just want you to pity me and treat it as my last wish.
“I don’t have any other wishes. I just want to die in the arms of the man I love.” As Aria spoke, she was already
crying bitterly.
Seeing this, Bruce’s frown deepened.
Bruce knew that he could not agree to her request.
Otherwise, the misunderstanding with Joanna would only deepen.
Bruce merely sympathized with Aria. He did not love her.
However, seeing Aria crying so sadly and begging him so pitifully, Bruce could not directly reject her either.
“Aria, let me think about it,” Bruce said.
“Alright, I’ll wait for you to think about it.”

When Aria heard this, her eyes darkened. Aria immediately guessed that he was going to call Joanna.
“Bruce, your phone might be broken. It might not be working!
“Why don’t you use my phone?”
“I don’t think so. Please help me find a phone.” Bruce insisted.
“Oh, then wait a moment. I’ll go now.” As Aria spoke, she slowly stood up and was heading out when she paused.
“Bruce, are you going to call your wife?” Aria asked.
“Yes, I need to let her know,” Bruce answered.
“I think it’s best if you don’t tell her about your situation. Otherwise, she’ll be scared.
“If she knew how badly injured you were, she’d be worried. She has to take care of four children and terrifying just
thinking about it.”
When Bruce heard this, he frowned and felt that Aria was right.
It was better not to tell Joanna about his current situation. Bruce didn’t want to scare her.
However, Bruce still had to tell Joanna that he was safe.
Soon, Aria passed him a phone.
Bruce made the call, and there was a beeping sound.
