The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 797

Aria pondered for a few seconds. “We still can’t develop an antidote for this virus for the time being in our country.”

“Then what can we do?”

“If we want to save him, we can only bring him to Antlen.

“There’s a specialized research team there. They’ll be able to develop an antiviral serum.”

Joanna’s eyes instantly dimmed, and she was at a loss for words after she heard this.

Bruce had just returned less than a month ago.

She did not want him to go overseas again.

“There are also top-notch research teams in our country. Miss Bridges, why don’t we research the antidote in our

country?”

Before Joanna could finish, Aria interrupted her. “The research institute in our country doesn’t have the necessary

infrastructure to study such serum for the time being.

“Moreover, it requires a lot of researchers to study it together. Therefore, if we want to save Bruce, we can only

bring him to Antlen.”

Joanna’s heart ached, and a trace of hesitation appeared in her eyes when she heard this.

Bruce probably wouldn’t be able to return in a short period.

The children were still young. She was worried about leaving them at home for so many days.

Even though many servants were looking after the kids, they were not their parents.

“Bruce’s situation is very urgent. We can’t delay any longer. If we delay for another hour, the organs in his body will

fail at an accelerated rate.

“It’ll be too late by the time all the organs in his body fail.” When Aria noticed Joanna hesitating, she could only

warn her of severe consequences.

Joanna understood. There was no time to hesitate. Although she worried about the children, she was more

concerned about Bruce now.

“Sure. I’ll work with you as long as I can keep Bruce alive.

“I’ll send someone to get a private plane ready now. We’ll send him to Antlen for treatment immediately.”

When Aria heard this, her expression changed. “Not everyone can enter the secret research institute.”

“That’s the Royal Supreme Secret Research Institute. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter.”

Joanna froze and was at a loss for words after hearing this.

What did she mean by that?

Could it be that she intended to take Bruce away alone and not let her follow?

Seeing Joanna’s confusion, Aria hurriedly explained, “However, you don’t have to worry.

“I’ll be there. I’ll take good care of Bruce.”

Joanna took a deep breath and said anxiously, “Then I won’t go to the research institute. I’ll stay somewhere

nearby to accompany him. If there’s anything urgent, I can help at any time.”

Aria said bluntly, “Ms. Haynes, I’m afraid you can’t help much with the antiviral serum research.

“If you go, you’ll cause unnecessary trouble. Don’t worry. I’ll take good care of Bruce.

“I have brain cancer now and don’t have much time left. I have to develop the antiviral serum within a limited time.

“Don’t worry. When the virus in Bruce’s body is cleared, I’ll send him back safely.”

There was nothing else Joanna could say.

Time is tight now. We really can’t delay any longer. Every second we delay will cause immeasurable damage to

Bruce’s body.

“Stay in Greyport and take good care of your children. I’ll do my best to save Bruce.

“You don’t have to worry that I’ll take this opportunity to snatch Bruce away. After all, I’m about to die.

I hate Bruce, but I won’t ruin his happiness.”

After Joanna heard this, she closed her eyes, and tears streamed uncontrollably.

There was no point in crying over spilled milk.

She had no other choices as long as Bruce could live.

Even if she had to give him to Aria, she would.

“Alright then! I’ll get someone to arrange a private plane to send you to Antlen immediately.”

“Yes, as soon as possible! We can’t delay anymore. If we delay any longer, Bruce will not be saved.”

“Miss Bridges, please,” Joanna said as she subconsciously held Aria’s hand tightly. Tears streamed down her face.

Aria also looked at Joanna sadly. She squeezed her hand and said sincerely, “Don’t worry, I will develop the antiviral

serum even if I have to risk my life.”

“Miss Bridges…” Joanna couldn’t speak. She had mixed feelings.

“You’re so sick, and now you have to study the antiviral serum. I’m worried about your health.”

Aria smiled and said righteously, “You don’t have to worry about me. I know my own body well.

“Even if I go through surgery now, I might not be able to recover completely. I might as well give up on myself and

do my best to treat Bruce.”

After hearing this, Joanna felt even more ashamed.

“Miss Bridges, I thank you on behalf of Bruce.”

“You’re treating me like an outsider.

“After all, we both love Bruce deeply. Even after I pass away, I’ll be much more at ease with you looking after Bruce

for me.”

Joanna choked and was at a loss for words as if a needle was poking her heart.

If not for the fact that she had a favor to ask of Aria, Joanna probably couldn’t help but get angry after hearing her

words.

But now…

“Alright, I’ll arrange the plane now.”

Beep, beep, beep.

Joanna sniffled, suppressed her grief, and dialed the butler’s number.

When Gael received Joanna’s call, he was extremely nervous. “Hello, Madam.”

“Gael, please arrange for a private plane to Antlen immediately.”

“Arrange for a private plane?” Gael was stunned.

“Yes, please arrange it immediately.”

“Alright.”

“By the way, how is Mr. Everett now? Is he out of danger?”

“Not yet. We have to send him to Antlen for treatment immediately.”

When Gael heard this, he became even more worried. “Send him to Antlen for treatment?

“What illness is so serious that he has to go overseas for treatment?”

“I can’t explain it to you right now. Prepare the plane immediately. We can’t delay any longer. We have to send

Bruce overseas immediately.”

“Alright. I’ll get someone to arrange it immediately.”

“Okay, that’s it.

After hanging up, Joanna felt as if countless devil claws were tearing at her heart. She was miserable and helpless.

“Miss Bridges, I’ve sent someone to arrange it.

“Now, let’s get ready and head to the airport.”

“Okay.”

Then, Aria negotiated with Director.

Director also agreed with it and sent Bruce to the airport in an ambulance.

“Watch out.

“Don’t touch the patient’s body. Be careful.”

A few nurses in protective clothing pushed Bruce into the ambulance.

Bruce was wrapped in a protective bag with an oxygen mask on his nose and an IV drip on his wrist.

Seeing that Bruce was pushed out, Joanna’s tears instantly burst out. She suddenly pounced forward. “Bruce,

Bruce…

“Ms. Haynes, don’t get close to him.

“The virus infected by Bruce is infectious. Don’t get close to him.” Aria held Joanna back, not letting her get close to

Bruce.

“I’m not afraid. I want to see him. Bruce, you must wake up. The children and I will wait for you here.

“You have to come back. The children and I can’t live without you,” Joanna said. She still couldn’t help but want to

get close to Bruce.

She was afraid that she would never see him again after this farewell.

“Ms. Haynes, don’t go near him.

“Don’t worry. Bruce will come back. I’ll do my best to save Bruce. If you’re infected by the virus, it’ll be even more

troublesome.”

Darcy and Carson also started persuading, “Miss Haynes, it’s better not to get close.”

“Mr. Everett will be fine. You have to believe in Miss Bridges’ ability.”

Joanna covered her mouth, unable to control her emotions.

Aria patted her shoulder. “Ms. Haynes, we can’t delay now. We’ll leave first. When we reach Antlen, I’ll contact you

at any time and update the situation to you.”

“Yes, please. You must save him. As long as you can save him, I’m willing…” As Joanna spoke, she could not help but

feel a sharp pain in her heart.

If Aria could save Bruce, then she was willing to let go of Bruce to Aria.

“Don’t talk nonsense. The most important thing now is Bruce’s life. Everything else is secondary. Don’t overthink or

be too pessimistic.

“Besides, I don’t have much time left. I won’t fight with you for Bruce anymore.”

“Miss Bridges, thank you.”

Aria smiled. “Take good care of her. We’re rushing to the airport now.”

“Sure. We’ll leave Mr. Everett to you

Aria didn’t say anything else and got into the ambulance.

“Beep, beep, beep, beep!” The ambulance headed in the direction of the airport.

“Darcy, let’s go to the airport to send them off too. We have to make some other arrangements for them too.”

“Okay.” Darcy drove Joanna to the airport.

Along the way, Joanna kept crying.
