Chapter 1038
On the other side, Bruce and Aria’s group had arrived in the
southwest of Melta.
“We can’t go any further.”
“The area ahead is heavily affected. Without protective suits, it’s easy to get infected.”
“I’ve already collected some samples and am preparing to conduct research on them,”
Aria said with a serious
expression.
Over the past two days, she had collected several samples
from infected individuals.
Just as they were discussing
12:41 A
their next steps, a tall and
robust man stumbled out of
the quarantine area.
“Who is that?” A few of them
looked around.
They saw an Eprarian rushed out of the quarantine area. Hist entire body was festering, and there were
several drainage
tubes still inserted in him.
Behind him, a few people in
protective suits were
desperately chasing after him.
“What should we do? He
doesn’t seem like a Meltarian.
He looks more like an
Eprarian.”
“Let’s rescue this person first.”

The driver immediately
started the car.
The car rushed towards the
scene, stopping those Property © of NôvelDrama.Org.
Meltarian from chasing after
the man.
The other SUV quickly started and headed towards the
Eprarian.
“Get in the car.”
The Eprarian clearly thought that they were also trying to catch him, so he resisted even
harder.
Bruce had no choice but to get out of the car to knock the
man unconscious.
12:41 A
Half an hour later, both vehicles had quickly escaped from the vicinity of the quarantine area and were
heading toward the city.
The Eprarian had already woken up and was still struggling to resist.

“Keep him down. I’ll inject him with tranquilizer first before
giving him a checkup.”
Bruce, Darcy, and the others quickly held the Eprarian tightly.
The Eprarian was very strong. He was mumbling something in Eprarish while struggling crazily.
12:41 A
Unfortunately, none of them
understood Eprarish and had no idea what he was talking
about.
Aria had prepared tranquilizer doses and injected him with
one.
However, even after the injection, the man continued
to resist.
Aria frowned. “He’s immune to tranquilizer doses? This is unbelievable!”
She quickly took out two more tranquilizers, increasing the dosage to administer another injection.
Five minutes later, the man

gradually closed his eyes.
“He’s probably infected with the plague too.”
“Let me perform a serum test on him.”
Due to the lack of specialized testing equipment, Aria could only use test strips to conduct a simple test
on him.
“How is it? Is the test result
out?”
“This person’s physique is very special. He’s completely
different from the previously collected infected individuals.”
“So what does that mean?”
Bruce asked in confusion.
12:41 A
“Therefore, I suspect that he
might also be a subject of research by Meltarian.”
Bruce furrowed his eyebrows when he heard that. “You mean he’s also an agent?”
“It’s highly possible, but he is seriously injured now and not in a clear state of mind. We’ll have to wait
until he recovers to understand more about the
situation.”
“Well, that’s the only way”
“For now, we need to find a safe place to hide him. Also, we
need more specialized medical
equipment.”
Upon hearing this, Bruce

frowned and pondered for a few seconds. “That’s fine. We
can go to Walston first. I have a house there. It’s about 186
miles from here, so it will only take us three to four hours by
car.”
Aria and another agent
exchanged a glance.
“It seems we have no other
choice.”
Soon, the group drove to
Walston again.
Bruce had a villa here, which was very secluded and secure.
Hence, there was no need to worry too much about staying here.

“What medical equipment do you need? I’ll get someone to
prepare everything for you.”
“Alright, thank you!”

Bruce asked the butler of his villa to help Aria find a private hospital and reserved it
entirely for their use. He hid
the Eprarian in the hospital for
treatment.
After completing these arrangements, his phone finally had a signal.
Bruce checked his phone and found out that Joanna had sent him numerous Messenger
messages.
Bruce hesitated for a moment
12:41 A
but decided to video call her.
The call connected, and on the other end of the video, it was around eight in the morning.
Joanna had just woken up and was preparing to have breakfast with the kids.
When she heard the phone ring, she quickly picked it up. “Hello…”
On the video call, Bruce’s handsome features appeared, and he brought his face closer to the screen.
“Hey, honey, what are you doing?”
Tears welled up in Joanna’s eyes. It had been so many days since she last saw him, and
now

she felt a bit excited. “I just woke up. Where are you now?”
“Oh, I’m at our house in
Walston.”
Joanna was taken aback.
“Aren’t you in the no man’s land?
“How did you get to Walston so quickly?”
“Well, we encountered some
problems here, so we’ll be
staying in Walston for a few days.”
“That’s great.” Joanna’s voice brightened with happiness.
“I plan to…” Joanna began, but then swallowed her words

back.

She wanted to tell him that she planned to go to Melta with Grace to find him and see what
he was up to.
However, she realized that if she told him now, he would likely refuse. It would be better to go first and
then talk to him
about it.
“Honey, do you miss me?” Bruce asked.
“Of course! How could I not
miss you?” Joanna replied, her
heart full of affection.
“Where are you now? This room looks strange,”
“I’m currently in Venturas,” Joanna answered truthfully.
When Bruce heard this, he frowned and looked unhappy.
Needless to say, she must have gone to see Jaydon again.
Although he knew that they
wouldn’t do anything out of
line, he still felt very happy.
Seeing his change of
expression, Joanna smiled and asked him, “What’s wrong?”
“Nothing! You go about your business.”
“Don’t think too much about it.
I’m here to see Grace. She is hospitalized and I’m here to
see her.”
“I don’t believe you,” Bruce retorted
“Hello, Daddy.”
In front of the camera, the faces of Davian and Irvin suddenly appeared.
Seeing the children, his heart was finally settled. It seemed that Joanna did not come alone to meet
Jaydon.
“Daddy, when are you coming back?” Davian asked worriedly.
“It will take some time,” Bruce replied.
Irvin sweetly chimed in, “Daddy, we miss you so much.
12:42 A Chapter 1038
Please come back soon. We’re
missing you like crazy.”

“When you come back, don’t forget to bring us gifts,” Davian added.
Bruce chuckled, “You two little rascals. Do you miss me, or do
you just want me to bring you gifts?”
“Of course, we miss you, but we also want gifts!” the
mischievous duo replied,
sticking out their tongues playfully.
“Are you behaving well at home? Have you been listening to Mommy?”
“Of course!”
12:42 A
“What are you talking about?
The two of you were so naughty yesterday that Mommy was scared to death.”
Joanna could not help but
scold the children with a stern
face.
“What did they do?” Bruce asked with concern.
“Well… it’s nothing serious, just being mischievous,” Joanna did not dare to tell Bruce the truth
in case he was worried.
She also didn’t want him to get angry at the servants again if he found out the truth.
“Alright! That’s it then. We’re going out for breakfast now.’

“Okay.” Bruce reluctantly
agreed, feeling like he still wanted to talk more.
After hanging up the phone, he sighed while his mind was still preoccupied.
Joanna heaved a long sigh of
relief. She was in an intense
internal struggle.
She wasn’t sure what Bruce was
doing recently.
Therefore, she really wanted to fly over to see what he was doing.
However, there were so many children to take care of at
home, so she could not leave them behind. Also, she had

promised to take care of Jaydon’s daughter.
After much thought, she
decided she couldn’t go
herself, but she could let Grace
go over.
Grace had been eager to find Darcy, and now that he was in
Walston now. It would be
convenient for her to go there
and check on Bruce’s activities
too.
With that in mind, Joanna immediately called Grace.
Beep, beep, beep.
“Hello, Joann.”
“Grace, are you feeling better

today?”

“Yes, I’m feeling much better
now.”
“By the way, you’ve been wanting to go to Melta to look for Darcy, right?”
“Yes,” Grace replied with a melancholic expression.
“I just spoke to Bruce, and they are currently in Walston now.”
“I’ll give you an address. You can go to find him now.”
“Really?” Grace’s face lit up with excitement.
“Of course,” Joanna said with a smile.

“However, just don’t tell Darcy that you’re going. I’ll give you the address, and you can go directly to
them. Also, while you’re there, you can see what my husband and his team are up to.”
Grace instantly understood Joanna’s concern. “Yes. I understand!”
Previously, Joanna did not
agree to let Grace go before
because the team was in the no
man’s land and it was too dangerous there.
As for Walston, it was a prosperous and developed region, with relatively good public safety.
