Chapter 1074
“If that’s the case, thank you.”
Aria turned around again, her eyes filled with pity. “You’re wee.”
“So that’s how it is! Well, I can rx now!
“Bruce, wake up quickly! We’ll go home immediately when you wake up and never stay in these ces
again.
“Our daughter can already stand up and is already undergoing rehabilitation training. The doctor said
that in two to three months, Lilia will be like a normal child.” Joanna sat by the bed and rambled to
Bruce.

In the evening.
Joanna walked out of the room.
“Mrs. Everett, how’s it going?”
“It’s okay! When Bruce wakes up tomorrow, we’ll return to Greyport immediately.”
“That’s great.
“So what are we going to do tonight? Are we going to stay here or go downtown and stay in a hotel?”
When Leo heard this, he hurriedly said, “Why don’t you all stay here tonight? Just make do for the
night. It’s going to be a hassle to drive another two hours to the city. Too much running around. Don’t
you think?”
“Fine!”
“There is a room upstairs. Let’s all squeeze in together!”
“Okay, that’s it.”
Joanna took Devin and Rose to sleep in one room. Darcy and Carson squeezed on the sofa in the
living room for the night.
The next day.
Joanna woke up early in the morning, feeling really worried about Bruce.
Aria woke up earlier than her and was already doing psychotherapy for Bruce.
“Miss Bridges, how’s my husband?”
“Bruce is awake.”
Joanna was overjoyed when she heard this. She hurriedly ran to the room downstairs. “Bruce…” In the
room.
As expected, Bruce had already woken up. However, perhaps because he had just woken up, a little
unfocused.
his
eyes were
“Bruce, you’re finally awake. You scared me out.” As Joanna spoke, she could not help but throw
herself into Bruce’s arms and cry.
Carson and Darcy heard themotion and hurriedly entered the room to check. Seeing that Bruce
had woken up, they were also very excited.
“Thank God, Mr. Everett is finally awake. We can finally be at ease.”
Bruce’s body stiffened as he was hugged by Joanna. He felt like he had a big dream and a lifetime had
passed.
He subconsciously rubbed his temples. His head hurt a little. There were many things that he could not
remember clearly.
When she saw Bruce’s cold reaction, Joanna’s heart tightened. “Bruce, what’s wrong? Do you not
recognize me?”
Aria quickly exined, “Bruce has just woken up. His memory might be a little chaotic. After all, he has
been unconscious for more than ten days.
*Moreover, his brain has been damaged before. The blood clots in his mind will gather again. In the

future, he might suffer from amnesia.”
Aria gave Joanna a heads-up.
“It’s okay. It’s okay. As long as he’s safe, everything will be fine.”
Joanna asked with lingering fear, “Bruce, do you still remember me?”
Bruce looked at her fixedly for more than a minute before he seemed to remember that Joanna was his
wife.
Then, he pursed his lips and smiled. “Joann…”
When Joanna heard this, her eyes turned red. She smiled with tears in her eyes and buried her head in
Bruce’s arms again.
“Bruce, you scared me. You promised me that you wouldn’t go on business trips again. You can’t go
back on your word.”
When Bruce heard this, he vaguely felt it sounded a little familiar, but he could not remember when he
said it.
After pondering for a while, he could only pat Joanna’s back gently andfort her. “Joann, don’t cry
anymore. Let’s go home…
“Ah… Why did Ie to Melta again?” Bruce’s memory was a little glitchy.
There were many things that he could not remember. His memories were like fragments and were not
coherent at all.
“Mr. Everett, we’ve been so worried about you these days. But now, things are finally looking up.”
Darcy
looked excited.
“Bruce, do you know them?”
Bruce subconsciously stared at Darcy and Carson. After thinking for a long time, he remembered that
they seemed to be his two bodyguards. “Darcy Juke, Carson!”
“That’s great. Mr. Everett didn’t lose his memory.” Carson was excited. “Bring Devin over now and let
Mr. Everett recognize him.”
Rose hurriedly carried Devin over.
Joanna was still a little worried and asked, “Bruce, do you know who this is?”
Bruce’s eyes darkened. A hint of affection appeared on his face. He immediately reached out to hug
Devin. “Come to daddy, little Devin. Let me give you a hug.”
“Devin, call daddy.”
“Daddy…” Devin called out in a childish voice.
“Good boy.”
Seeing this, Joanna finally feltpletely relieved.
“He was indeed Bruce and was only injured and had yet to recover,” said she inwardly.
Aria and Leo looked at each other and heaved a sigh of relief.
“Do you want to stay for a few more days?”
Joanna shook her head. “No need. Lilia is still in Gaprington. We have to go back to pick her up.”
When Leo heard this, he said impatiently, “Then I might as well book the earliest flight to Gaprington for
you.”
When Joanna heard this, she frowned. “Okay, that’s fine. I’m just worried that Bruce’s body won’t be
able
to take it.”
Aría pursed her lips and smiled. “Bruce haspletely recovered. It’s fine.”
“Is that so? His infection has just been cured. Doesn’t he need to rest for a few days?” Joanna looked
at Bruce worriedly.
“As long as he doesn’t do heavybor work or strenuous exercise, there’s basically no big problem.”
“Oh, that’s good.”
“Book the flight to Gaprington immediately. We’ll pick up Lilia.”

“Okay, Mrs. Everett.”
After that.
Bruce changed into a suit and walked out of the room. With a tall and slender figure, he remained
upright
and robust.
However, there was no hostility or arrogance on his face. His eyes were also very gentle, and he no
longer had the domineering aura from before.
Overall, he looked very refined and elegant, with an air of noble. Just like the first time Joannaid on
him over a decade ago.
“We can go to the airport now. We have a lot of people, so we booked a private ne.”
“Okay.”
“Joann, let’s go now,” spoke Bruce, chivalrously draping his arm around Joanna’s shoulder. “Miss
Bridges, Leo, then we’ll leave first.
“When you guys have some free time, let’s get together in Greyport.”
Aria and Leo nodded as if they were desperate for them to leave. “Sure, goodbye.”
“Have a nice trip.”
“Goodbye.”
“Get in!” Bruce personally opened the door for Joanna.
“Okay.”
In the car.
eyes
Joannaid her head in Bruce’s arms and wrapped her arms tightly around his waist, unwilling to let
go.
She finally heaved a sigh of relief, thinking, “Fortunately, Aria did not cause any trouble this time.”
Bruce’s reaction was a little cold. He only ced his arm on her shoulder indifferently.
However, Joanna did not think too much about it. After all, he had been unconscious for so many days,
so it was inevitable that he would feel ufortable.
After Bruce and Joanna left.
Leo heaved a sigh of relief. “Aria, this might be the bestfort for Bruce. He cares about his family
the most. Now, things will go back to normal for his loved ones.”
When Aria heard this, she could no longer hold back her tears. “Bruce… Bruce…”
“Aria, don’t be sad. Everyone will die. Bruce had a glorious death. He… he died for the organization,
and for us as well…” Leo said with a heavy voice.
“Stop talking, stop talking.” Aria’s heart felt like it had been gouged out by a knife. It hurt so much that
she
could not breathe.
She would rather be the one to die.
“Aria, let’s go in! The microchips have already been sent back. Mr. Thompson and the others are
studying it now.
“No matter what, this mission is consideredpleted.”
Aria’s tears kept falling. A trace of ruthlessness and determination appeared on her face. “No, the
mission is notpleted.”
Leo was totally shocked when he heard this and couldn’t help but stare at Aria.
“The content in the microchips is only the tip of the iceberg. The truth of District 17 has not been
“Also, I’m going to get revenge for Bruce. An inhumanboratory like District 17 shouldn’t exist in this
world.”
“Aria, this is a little unbelievable. To expose a portion of District 17’s secret is already difficult. With our
strength, it’s impossible to shake it at all. We can’t turn the current situation around either.
“Especially this is Melta… Leo said with a severe expression.
