The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife by Zara Gibbon

Chapter 1048

It was the next day.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

The hospital called Bruce before he woke up.

“Hey, Jason.”

Jason’s anxious voice came from the other end of the line. “Hurry up and come to the hospital. There’s a situation

here. We’ve already found a translator and got reliable information from that Eprarian.”

When Bruce heard this, he quickly jumped up from the bed. “Okay, we’ll rush over immediately.”

“Okay, as soon as possible.”

Bruce got out of bed, quickly got dressed, and asked Aria and Darcy to go to the hospital.

“Bruce, what’s wrong?” Aria asked solemnly.

“Let’s go to the hospital now.”

“Oh, okay.”

Twenty minutes later, they rushed to the hospital.

In the ward, the Eprarian had already regained some consciousness. A translator was standing beside him.

The Eprarian was saying something and the translator pricked up his ears and listened attentively.

“What did he say?”

The translator said solemnly, “He said that there’s an underground Dark river in District 17 that leads to the

research base.”

When Bruce and Aria heard this, they were excited. “Ask him where the exact location is.”

The translator asked the Eprarian again.

“He says there’s a grove about ten miles west of Karchi Lake. It’s a river that drains sewage, and all the wastewater

from the research institute is discharged from there.”

The Eprarian panted heavily and looked at Bruce weakly, then he mumbled a few words.

Bruce did not understand and quickly asked the translator, “What did he say?”

“He said he and five other colleagues were captured and sent to District 17. There were also many children from

Ziviet and Elmerton inside. All of them were caught for research.

“Their organization copied some of the information they found into a microchip. Now, that microchip is hidden in a

tree near that Dark river. He asked you to find the microchip and not let their efforts go to waste.”

“Uh…” After saying that, the Eprarian let out his last breath, straightened his body, and closed his eyes.

Not only were Bruce and the others investigating this matter, but agents from other countries were also

investigating it

Although they did not cross paths, their goal was the same. They wanted to expose the conspiracy of Meltarian and

maintain world peace.

“Hey, don’t die yet…”

“No, he can’t hold on any longer.”

Bruce, Aria, and the others felt a wave of regret.

However, they had finally obtained some crucial information. This was already a major breakthrough for them.

“Bury him properly!”

“Don’t worry! We’ll bury him properly.”

Bruce and Aria walked out of the hospital with heavy thoughts.

“In that case, let’s find this microchip first.” Aria looked at Bruce seriously.

“Pack up. We’ll rush to no man’s land tomorrow and find that microchip he mentioned.”

“Okay.”

“Bruce, we’re going to no man’s land tomorrow. Do you… have anything to say to me?”

Bruce didn’t say anything. He just lit a cigarette and looked ahead sadly.

This Eprarian had said a lot of key information.

Now, he had to find the microchip and enter District 17 according to the way he provided. No matter what, he had

to investigate the secrets of District 17 and expose the ugly faces of Meltarian to the world.

In particular, a lot of children were lost in a lot of places a while ago. Unexpectedly, they were all sent there for

human research.

“Aria, are you ready for the plan I told you about?”

Aria listened and stared blankly at Bruce. “Bruce, are you sure you want to activate that plan?”

Bruce blew out a smoke ring and said heavily, “Aria, if this mission fails, help me carry out the original plan.”

When Aria heard this, she looked at him even more sadly.

“Bruce, you really love your wife.”

“…” Bruce didn’t say anything.

He did love Joanna very much. He also loved his children very much. He was willing to give up everything for them.

“Don’t worry. If that day really comes, I’ll definitely do as you say.

“Now, everything’s almost done. Just implant the microchip and it’s ready to go.”

“Okay, thank you.”

“You’re welcome.”

Bruce didn’t say anything else. He went straight into the distance.

Aria could not help but stare at Bruce’s tall back for a long time.

She really couldn’t control her heart.

If possible, she was really willing to give up everything in exchange for being with

him.

“Beep, beep, beep.”

Aria was in a daze for a long time. She could not help but call Joanna.

“Hello, who is that?” Joanna answered the call.

Aria said lightly, “It’s me, Aria.”

When Joanna heard this, her tone was a little cold. “Why are you calling me?”

“Ms. Haynes, I called you because I want to talk to you.”

“I have nothing to talk to you about.”

“I’m talking to you about Bruce. Don’t you want to hear it?” Aria’s tone carried a hint of oppression.

It was as if she was Bruce’s real wife and knew Bruce better than Joanna. Joanna tried her best to suppress her

anger but did not hang up.

“Yesterday, Bruce reprimanded me and asked me if I called you.

“I think it’s ridiculous that a man like him would stoop so low for you.”

Joanna said coldly, “What are you trying to say?”

Aria said calmly, “I don’t want to say anything. I’m just telling you that there’s nothing between me and Bruce.

Please don’t be mad at him anymore. He’s so sad now. I don’t want to see him so sad.”

When Joanna heard this, the anger that had subsided instantly flared up again. The matter between her and Bruce

was not for others to criticize. Even if there were arguments and conflicts between them, it was between the two of

them. There was no need for others to feel sorry for him and defend him.

“Miss Bridges, I want to remind you not to forget your identity.

“Bruce and I are husband and wife. How we get along is our business. You don’t have to defend him!”

“Oh, Joanna, you have no idea how lucky you are. I would be pleased to have such a husband if I were you.” Aria did

not hide her envy for Joanna.

“Too bad. He’s my husband now.”

“Since you’ve already gotten him, you should cherish him. You shouldn’t throw a tantrum at the slightest

provocation. You have to understand him, feel sorry for him, and love him…”

“Aria, you’re funny. How I treat him is my business. Does it have anything to do with you?” Joanna was so angry that

her lungs were about to explode.

Aria’s tone made it seem like she was closer to Bruce than Joanna.

“The matter between you and Bruce has nothing to do with me. I just can’t stand your behavior.

“I really don’t understand. What’s so good about you that Bruce loves you so much?

“Just because you gave birth to four children for him? Come on! Every woman can have children. You’re not the

only one who knows how to have children. So, don’t think that you’re better than others.

“Many women are fighting for the man you don’t cherish,” Aria said bluntly. Joanna’s face turned pale. She was so

angry that her heart ached. “Aria, what identity are you using to accuse me?”

Aria said confidently, “I’m reminding you as Bruce’s friend.”

“So, what’s your motive? Bruce?”

Aria sneered. “I just feel sorry for Bruce. I feel sorry for him for being so humble to a woman. I don’t want to see

him like this. If you can’t love and trust him 100%, then you’re even less worthy of being his wife.”

“Whether I’m worthy or not is not up to you to decide.

“What do you mean by calling me now? Did Bruce ask you to make this call?”

Aria neither defended nor denied.

“Looks like you’ve really put in a lot of effort for Bruce.”
