The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna) novel Chapter 746

Chapter 746 

“Well, let me get in touch with the City Hall’s officers now.” 

“Okay, reschedule for three in the afternoon preferably.” 

“Understood, Mr. Everett. I will call the officers right away,” Mr. Jameson nodded hurriedly. 

Bruce had to find a solution as he had not foreseen such troublesome circumstances today. 

“That’s it, then.” He then hung up the call. 

Seeing him distressed and absent-minded, Joanna could not help but ask, “What’s wrong? What happened?” 

With a sigh, he said, “Mr. Jameson is stuck in traffic and may not arrive soon.” 

“Oh, there’s no need to rush!” She comforted him instead. 

“Honey, I have an urgent matter to attend to now. I have rescheduled the remarriage procedures with Mr. Jameson for three o’clock in the afternoon.” 

She was startled by his words, wondering what could be more important than completing the marriage procedures. 

However, seeing how burdened he looked, she agreed. “Alright! If you have something important, go ahead and take care of 

it!” 

He smiled gently, leaned over, and kissed her on the forehead. “You take care, eh? I will be back soon. Love you.” 

“Okay! I love you too.” Even though she was unhappy on the inside. 

However, she did not dwell on it, nodding as she said, “Go ahead. Come back soon!” 

“Don’t let your imagination run wild, eh? Just wait for me.” 

“Got it.” He then kissed her forehead again. 

He checked the time to find it was already past nine. 

Aria probably had not left for the airport yet. 

Therefore, he supposed it would be better to meet her at the hotel. 

He quickly grabbed his car key and put on his suit jacket, then hurriedly left the hospital ward. 

After Aria’s departure, there might not be a chance for them to see each other again in this lifetime. Despite the circumstances, he felt compelled to say his farewell to her. 

It was past ten o’clock. 

Hilbert Hotel. 

Bruce personally drove to the Hilbert Hotel. 

Ding dong, ding dong. 

Aria was packing her luggage when she heard the doorbell ringing. 

“Coming. I’m coming.” She hurriedly went to open the door. 

Through the peephole, she saw Bruce standing at the door with a gloomy expression. 

She hurriedly tidied her hair, then slowly opened the door. “Bruce.” 

“Mm…” he responded heavily. Meanwhile, his gaze was filled with deep sympathy and compassion. 

“Come in.” 

He furrowed his brows, walking in with long strides. “Aria, are you really leaving? Just like that?” 

She smiled gently. “Yeah. I’ve already packed my things and Leo has already arranged the car. You know, there are some urgent matters at the research institute that I need to attend to.” 

He looked at her pale face, feeling even more distressed. “Aria.” 

As their eyes met, both of them struggled to find the right words. 

“Have you thought about staying here for treatment? Greyport boasts some of the finest neurologists in the world, and I can take care of all the arrangements for you. The chances of a successful cure are significantly higher if we detect the condition early.” 

A hint of disappointment flashed in her eyes as she thought he wanted to share his feelings. 

It turned out that he was just concerned about her health. “There’s no need. I have to return to Antlen as soon as possible. My colleagues there can’t wait any longer. I already talked to the organization a few days ago, requesting that your mission be postponed to next month. Also, I mentioned your desire to retire. Unfortunately, they rejected it. I did my best to fight for you, but, unfortunately, it was no use. But don’t worry, when there’s an opportunity, I will continue to fight for you.” 

After saying that, she looked sadly at him in the eyes. 

He felt even more distressed upon hearing her words. “Let’s not worry about all that right now. Your health comes first. Listen, you must seek treatment immediately. Don’t miss the critical window for treatment, or the condition may worsen with time.” 

As he spoke, he held her hand tightly. “Come on, let me take you to the hospital right now. Don’t take this lightly, eh? You must take responsibility for your own body!” 

She smiled gently at him, allowing him to hold her hand. “Bruce, thank you, but I really don’t need to go to the hospital. I know my condition better than anyone else; Even if surgery is required, I have to wait until this mission is successfully completed! RA-3 Bio-virus project represents the efforts of me and several other biologists. You know, the research data was preserved with great effort, so I will regret it for the rest of my life if I fail to bring it back.” 

He could not bear to listen any further, looking at her with a serious expression. “But you can’t just focus on work and neglect your health. Does the organization know about your condition?” 

“Bruce, I can hold on!” She gazed at him tenderly, as if she wanted to soften his heart with her eyes. 

She added, “The doctor said that I can hold on for at least another six months. After the mission is completed, I will work with the doctor and undergo surgery as soon as possible. We are at a critical moment now, and I don’t want the organization to know about my condition. If they had known, they would not have sent me to Greyport. I must wait until the virus copy is safely returned before I can seek treatment in peace.” 

He spoke with even more seriousness, “No, nothing is more important than your life! Everything else is secondary. You know, one’s life is the most precious. Aria, please, listen to me and accept treatment. As for the virus, I will take care of it as soon as possible.” 

“Bruce, no!” She struggled slightly, gazing softly at his face. 

Her bright eyes were filled with unshakable affection, conveying her feelings for him. 

He looked away, avoiding her gaze. 

“Weren’t you and your wife going to proceed with the remarriage procedures today? All done?” 

“Um… not yet!” 

“Is it because of me?” she asked softly. 

This question made him uneasy. 

Facing her endless tenderness and passionate gaze, he became even more anxious. 

Right now, he was only concerned about her health. 

“Aria, I’m just worried about your health! My marriage registration with my wife is scheduled for three o’clock this afternoon, so I have to go back soon.” 

She was completely shocked. 

Originally, she thought that he had canceled the marriage registration for her sake. 

Yet it turned out that he had merely postponed it. 

At the thought of this, her heart ached. A few seconds later, she blacked out, collapsing forward. 

He hurriedly held her up. “Aria, what’s wrong?” 

“I’m fine… um…” she said weakly, though she could no longer stand straight. 

He became even more anxious now. “Arial Aria! I will take you to the hospital right away!” 

She weakly leaned into his arms and said, “Bruce, there is really no need. I am fine…” 

*Fine? You are fine? Say no more. You must go to the hospital for treatment now.” 

As he spoke, he bent over to carry her in his arms.
