Chapter 1073 “How did he get infected again?” Joanna's heart skipped a beat.
Without any doubt, she was certain that Aria had done it. After all, Aria had done it before. Darcy frowned and said solemnly, “Well... we're not so sure either.” “Where is he now?” “He's in Mortland Town now. Miss Bridges is trying to find a way to detoxify Mr. Everett.” Joanna rushed to the parking lot and urged, “Take me there quickly.” “Will do.” At Mortland Town.
Joanna was burning with anxiety along the way, and her heart was a mess. She knew that Aria would not let go so easily.
As expected, something happened again.
Two hours later.
Carson parked the car in front of an old house.
“Mrs. Everett, this is it. Let's get out!” Joanna took a deep breath and looked around.
This place was very remote. There were almost no pedestrians on the street. Houses spaced far apart. One had to go a really long way to see another house.
It was a small town unique to the countryside of Melta.
“Rose, Benny, wait in the car with Devin,” Joanna instructed worriedly.
“Okay, Mrs. Everett.” Joanna got out of the car and walked into the house under the lead of Darcy and Carson.
Leo and Aria were already waiting at the door. Upon seeing her, Aria greeted Joanna with a formal and unfamiliar tone, “Ms.
Haynes, you're here.” Joanna replied equally coldly, “Miss Bridges, long time no see.
“Where is Bruce?” Avria’s gaze was wandering, and her voice carried a hint of loneliness. “Bruce is in the room.” Joanna glanced at her. A hint of disgust and hatred lashed across her eyes.
“It seemed that she wanted to forcefully separate me from Bruce again. This shameless woman was really evil,” thought Joanna.
However, she could not fall out with Aria now. She had already experienced Aria’s methods and ruthlessness.
“Ms. Haynes, please follow me!” Joanna followed Aria into the house.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtAfter entering the house, Aria brought Joanna to a bedroom.
“Click!” The door opened.
Joanna quickened her pace and entered the room excitedly. “Bruce...” In the room.
Bruce was lying peacefully on the bed. His face was a little pale as if he was unconscious.
“Bruce!” Joanna practically threw herself to the side of the bed and Bruce's embrace.
They had been separated for more than two months. God knew how she had survived the past two months. Tears welled up in her eyes.
“Bruce, wake up, it's me!” Joanna was too agitated and shook Bruce's body.
“Ms. Haynes, Bruce is very weak now. Don't shake him like this.” Aria quickly stopped her.
1/3 09:00 When Joanna heard this, she could only suppress her emotions and sit up straight, not daring to shake Bruce brutally anymore.
“What's going on? Why is he infected again?” Leo quickly explained, “Don’t worry, we've already injected Bruce with the antidote vaccine. He'll wake up in a day or two.
“When he wakes up, he'll be the same as before. There won't be any big problems.” Hearing it, Joanna looked at the two in disbelief.
“What virus did he get this time?" Leo frowned and said hesitantly, “Well, | can’t explain it to you. Anyway, don’t worry. Bruce is fine now.” Joanna's eyes darkened.
“Then can | bring him back to Greyport after he wakes?” “No problem! After Bruce wakes up, he can go back with you.” When Joanna heard this, the suspicion in her eyes intensified.
She was really confused now. Her heart was in a mess, and she could not make sense of it.
“What the hell were they doing?” wondered she.
Seeing the look of disbelief on Joanna's face, Aria guessed her concerns and explained in a low voice, “Don’t worry, Bruce won't have any problems this time.” “Really?” Joanna asked in disbelief.
“If Aria did something to Bruce, why would she let me take him away so easily? “There had to be a conspiracy,” thought Joanna.
However, she could only suppress the dissatisfaction and suspicion in her heart. Nothing else mattered as long as she could bring Bruce Everett back safely.
“Of course it's true.” “That's good.” “Bruce...” Joanna's eyes turned red as she touched Bruce's face.
Bruce's cheeks were smooth and radiant.
Joanna's heart skipped a beat. She vaguely felt that something was wrong.
Bruce was a very rough man who didn’t care much about his appearance. He had never done skincare before. Moreover, he was born with strong hormones. If he didn’t shave for three days, he would grow a beard.
In addition, he was already 32 years old this year. It was obvious that his skin could not be too smooth and tender.
But now, his skin was like a peeled egg. It was very delicate and smooth to the touch. His facial features were deep and clear.
To be honest, he was much more handsome than before.
Joanna's eyes were filled with sorry and complicated emotions. She vaguely felt that something was a little strange, but she couldn't say what was strange.
The person lying on the bed was Bruce. Even the scar on his forehead was the same.
“Ms. Haynes, let Bruce sleep. Why don’t we go out first?” Joanna shook her head sadly. “No, | will stay with him. | don’t want to go anywhere.” “Alright! Let's go out first!” As he spoke, Leo called Darcy and Carson and left the room together.
After everyone left, Joanna could not hold back her tears anymore. They kept falling. “Bruce, wake up quickly.
“When you wake up, we'll go home. We won't be separated again.” As Joanna spoke, she held Bruce's hand tightly and subconsciously placed it on her face.
But soon, she realized that something was wrong.
2/3 09.001 Bruce's hands were also very smooth and tender. Joanna's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly checked Bruce's palm.
Then, she got up and walked to the other side of the bed to check his left hand.
Bruce was left-handed, so his left hand would be rougher than his right hand.
After she checked his left hand, Joanna's eyes widened, and she subconsciously took a step back.
Bruce's left hand was also smooth and tender.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“No... This isn't Bruce. This isn't Bruce.” Joanna gasped, her eyes filled with fear.
Bruce played golf all year round and liked to race and ride horses. Therefore, his palms and joints had many thin calluses.
Moreover, he often practiced boxing. His joints were very broad, and his hands were not good-looking at all.
Especially the second knuckle on the middle finger of his left hand. The calluses on it were thicker. The skin there had been ground into thick calluses from many years of signing contracts.
But now, his hands were slender and smooth, and his skin was very soft and tender.
“Boom!” Joanna's mind exploded. Various expressions appeared on her face, and shivers ran down her entire body.
She quickly took a closer look at Bruce's face. He did look exactly like Bruce.
“What's going on?” Joanna was still in disbelief.
“Are you surprised? Do you think Bruce is different from before?” Aria had quietly entered the room again somewhen.
Joanna was shocked and turned to look at her vigilantly.
Avria took a sip of lemonade and said calmly, “He is Bruce.
“As he was infected with a virus, | immersed him in a specially made potion for three whole days. This caused his original skin to shed away. So it looks like he has changed his skin.” Joanna's face was filled with disbelief.
“If you don't believe me, you can take a look at him and see if it's true.” When Joanna heard this, she lifted the blanket skeptically and checked Bruce's body.
Sure enough, the skin on his arms and chest was shedding. Large patches of dead skin were shed as if a snake was shedding its skin.
“Oh, so that's how it is.” Joanna heaved a sigh of relief and dispelled her doubts.
“I know what you're worried about.
“Don't worry! | won't ruin your relationship with Bruce again. | wish you the best. You will grow old with Bruce and be united forever.” As Aria said that, a glimmer of light appeared in her eyes.
Joanna's gaze wandered. Her heart was still filled with suspicion and vigilance toward Aria.
“Stay with Bruce. I'll go out first. He'll probably wake up tomorrow,” said Aria.
