“It might swell up tomorrow. After the swelling subsides, you’ll slowly see the effect,” said the doctor.
“How many more times do I have to do it?” asked Bruce.
The doctor replied respectfully, “Mr. Everett, you only need minor adjustments and skin repair, and it
will show results as early as one week. Achieving the best effect may take two to three months.”
“Fine!”
“Remember, this is the anti-inflammatory solution. Apply it every morning, noon, and night.”
“Okay, okay. I understand.” Joanna took the solution seriously.
“Ouch, honey, it hurts…” Bruce whined at Joanna, looking as delicate as a baby.
“Oh, it’s okay. It’s okay. I’ll blow on it for you!” Joanna gently breathed on his face as if he was a child.
“Does it still hurt?”
“It doesn’t hurt as much.”
“Humph…” Joanna smiled gently and angrily, knowing that Bruce wanted her to show sorry for him.
“Love might have a shelf life.
“However, psychological dependence could be infinitely firm and lasting. As time passed, the
dependence would become stronger and stronger.
“Bruce got a boyish soul.
“Under the indestructible armor, there was a childish seed that hadn’t sprouted. He couldn’t leave you
anymore when he was willing to take off the armor and show you his childish side.
“Therefore, most of the time, rather than deliberately nurture love, you might as well spend more effort
to nurture his dependence on you. Only by relying on you from the bottom of his heart can he not leave
you,” thought Joanna.
Aria stood at the side and watched. The more she watched, the more she felt sad. It was extremely
piercing to her eyes.
“Bruce, I have something to discuss with you.”
“What’s the matter?” Bruce looked at Aria, and he changed from a crybaby to an overbearing boss.
“Ugh…” Aria subconsciously glanced at Joanna.
The meaning was clear. She didn’t want Joanna to know.
“It’s okay. Just say it,” said Bruce.
Aria’s eyes flickered. “Hmm, let’s… let’s talk about it another day!”
Joanna understood the underlying meaning and felt a little awkward. “It’s fine. You guys continue
chatting. I have to make dumplings for the children.”
As she spoke, she gave Bruce a trusting smile and turned to leave.
“What is it?” asked Bruce.
“Let’s talk in the office!”
Bruce’s scalp tightened, but he did not refuse. He directly brought Aria to his private office.
“This is the latest intelligence!” Aria said as she handed over a piece of paper.
Bruce frowned. “What is this?”
“Our comrades have discovered this mutated virus and mutated creatures in South Elmerton.”
Bruce took a look at it, and his heart skipped a beat.
District 17 had been eradicated, and all the devices and experiments inside had been blown up.
Logically speaking, the root of the virus had been removed, and the mutated animals had all died.
Why did it appear again?
“What does that mean?” asked he.
Aria’s face darkened as she said solemnly, “Do you still not understand?”
Bruce gasped. “You mean that someone is still continuing the experiment on District 17?”
“Yes.”
Boom!
Bruce’s mind went blank, and his head hurt subconsciously. He still had two microchips in his brain,
and so far, he had not been able to take them out.
Especially when he recalled what happened to District 17, he shuddered.
“Why are you telling me this now?”
“I just want to tell you that once this virus spreads, it will definitely harm the entire world.” Aria looked
worried.
Bruce’s hawk-like eyes turned cold. “So?”
Aria pondered for a few seconds and said solemnly, “So, I’ve already applied to Richard to investigate
this matter personally.”
When Bruce heard this, he was totally shocked and looked at Aria in disbelief.
Richard had already assigned Aria to be his subordinate. Aria and her agents were all his subordinates.
“If she took the initiative to apply to investigate this matter, wouldn’t she be passively pulling the
mission to me?” said Bruce inwardly.
