The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 1064 Especially with his hands and feet bound, it made Bruce restless and anxious. He did not want to be watched like a monkey by the crowd.

Seeing his intense reaction, the excitement in the scientists’ eyes grew strong.

“Very good.

“This is a miracle. Inject him with a tranquilizer right away.

“Carry him to the lab bench for further dissection!” “Sure.” Upon hearing the conversation at the side, Bruce became furious in his mind.

Immediately, the intravenous tube connected to his arm started injecting anesthesia, and he quickly fell into unconsciousness again.

“You can lift him to the lab bench for a full-body examination.” “Okay.” The radiation lights were turned off. The glass cover slowly opened, and a few assistants carefully moved Bruce to a small cart.

Then, they wheeled him into another operating room.

The scientists began their research around him again, collecting blood samples for analysis.

After a series of examinations, the scientists were delighted, and the excitement shown in their eyes had reached an ecstatic level. “Perfect, his immune system has been destroyed. New cells are multiplying, and once the cell count reaches the standard, we can inject humanoid genes.

“I can’t wait to see the final results of the experiment.” Another scientist from Gaprington frowned and said seriously, “I hope our experiment will be successful this time.” They had already done thousands of experiments, and each time they had failed. Those subjects could not endure until the end, except for one successful case, but even that one did not survive long.

However, it was already a major breakthrough, and after genetic modification, the subject had truly surpassed human limits. He could walk on walls like a gecko and hold his breath underwater for over an hour without breathing.

The current subject had extraordinary physical abilities, and the scientists naturally hoped he could last until the end of the experiment.

Two days later, Bruce woke up in a daze and gradually regained consciousness.

He had already been dissected and connected to various instruments, with his brain hooked up to a detector. However, his heart was still beating normally, and all his organs were functioning normally. “Ugh...” Bruce replied weakly, but his body had no strength left.

He could only lie on the lab bench in despair as his skin gradually started to decay and peel off.

“Joann...Joann...” The figure of Joanna kept appearing in Bruce's mind.

This time, he knew there was no escaping his fate. He could never go back. He had no other thoughts now, just hoping that Joanna could take good care of their children.

On the other side, Aria had already contacted Mr. Thompson and conveyed the latest information. “Mr. Thompson, we need reinforcements now. Bruce's whereabouts are unknown, and he may have unfortunately sacrificed himself! Aria’s voice choked, almost on the verge of tears.

Mr. Thompson fell silent on the other end of the phone.

He did not expect this mission to be so tricky, even his most skilled top agent had fallen into it.

“Bruce has found the secret microchip inside District 17.” Mr. Thompson pondered for a few seconds before saying solemnly, “Think of a way to bring the microchip back to the country as soon as possible.” “Sure, Mr. Thompson.” 1/3 09:35 “I'll send another supporting group to reinforce you.” “Roger that.” After hanging up the phone, Aria could not hold back her tears. Even though three days had passed, she still could not accept this result.

Leo could only repeatedly console her. “Aria, don’t cry anymore! It's not the time to be sad now. We need to bring the microchip back to the country as soon as possible.” Hearing this, Aria burst into tears again, saying with sorrow and despair, “I just can’t imagine that Bruce would leave us like this.

“I'm going to the scene again. No matter what, | will bring Bruce's body back.” “Right now, it's not appropriate for us to show ourselves. The no man’s land is highly alert. We might not be able to do anything there.” Leo also had a heavy and regretful expression.

They wanted to collect the body of their fallen compatriot as well. They were all national heroes, and it was not right to leave the body exposed in the wilderness.

However, the reality was cruel. They could not even protect themselves now. It seemed difficult even to approach the no man’s land, let alone enter District 17.

Aria shook her head stubbornly. “No! | still don’t believe Bruce would die like this.

“As long as | see his dead body, | refuse to accept this outcome,” said Aria, her eyes filled with determination, unwilling to face such a conclusion.

“I want to see him, dead or alive. I'll definitely find him.” Seeing Aria so persistent, Leo did not try to persuade her further.

After all, he had not witnessed Bruce's death himself. However, even if Bruce had not been killed, the outcome would not be any better.

Being caught by District 17's special inspection team only had two possible outcomes, being shot on the spot or being taken back to the research institute for experimentation.

Leo had already seen the contents of the microchip that Bruce gave him and had a general idea of the research process.

Frankly speaking, being shot on the spot would be better than being subjected to research.

“I hope... that Bruce is only taken away.” “You mentioned that as a possibility. District 17's inspection team is aggressively capturing agents from various countries to conduct research on them. Bruce is probably the same...” Aria paused, her face paling, and then she hesitated to continue.

If Bruce were captured and taken to District 17, being shot on the spot would be preferable. At least it would be a quick death without suffering.

If captured, what awaited him would be inhumane torture, just like the typical case of the agent from Eprary.

When they rescued that agent, he was in a state of delirium, with his body covered in sores and his organs failing. Ultimately, his immune cells died, and his death was extremely miserable and painful.

Before he died, no one knew what kind of torture he had suffered. So, compared to being captured and taken to District 17, a quick death would be better.

Suddenly, Leo thought of something. “Aria, didn’t Bruce entrust you with the plan before? What are you trying to do? In any case, you should inform his family.” Avria’s expression became serious. “I want to wait a little longer. Lstill don’t believe that Bruce would die like this.” “Alright then!” “Leo, you can start the plan so that we won't be caught off guard.” “Alright, | understand.” “Bruce, | hope God bless you.” Aria silently held her hands together and began to pray.

At Sherane Bay Villa, Joanna had been restless, unable to eat or sleep peacefully for several days.

2/3 09:35 She had been nervous and had bad feelings about Bruce's situation for the past three days. Coupled with her inability to contact Bruce, she was growing more anxious at the moment.

[Bruce, give me a call when you receive the message.] [The children and | are very worried about you. Where are you now? Can you come back before Christmas?] [I'm planning to take Lilia to Gaprington to remove her orthopedic device. | hope that the day she stands. up, you can be the first to see her.] Every day, Joanna persisted in sending him messages, hoping that once Bruce's phone had a signal, he would receive her texts.

And she hoped that as soon as he read the messages, he would call her back.

She was starting to worry to death.

“Mommy, are we going to Gaprington tomorrow? | have packed my things.” Lilia looked at her mother obediently.

“Yes, we'll set off tomorrow.” Joanna squeezed out a slight smile and affectionately patted her daughter's head.

Lilia had been wearing the orthopedic device on her legs for over half a year, and it was almost time to remove it. After taking off the device, with no unforeseen circumstances, she would need to undergo rehabilitation training, and then she would be able to walk like a normal child.

During this period of time, it was only this matter that could bring some comfort to Joanna.

Davian let out a sigh, worriedly asking, “Mommy, when will you and Lilia come back?” Joanna pondered for a few seconds. “It's hard to say for the time being. It depends on what Doctor Carl says. We might have to stay in Gaprington for rehabilitation training. In any case, this time, we won't come back until Lilia's legs are better.” “Oh, alright then.” Irvin, who had also stopped being mischievous for once, said, “Mommy, can you and Lilia come back to accompany us before Christmas?” “Definitely, we'll be back before Christmas, don’t worry.” “Lilia, | hope you can fully recover this time. These are the shoes | bought for you.” As Davian spoke, he handed over a pair of leather shoes he personally picked for Lilia.

Lilia happily accepted them, saying, “Thank you, Davian.” “Lilia, | also prepared a gift for you. Look, this is a limited-edition ballet dress. Didn't you want to learn. ballet? When your legs get better, you can start learning ballet.” “Thank you, Irvin.” mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWLII0fiflO& 1 mmMwWLIII0fifl0&1 mmMwWL1i10fif10&1 mmMwWLIiI0fiflO&1
