The Return Of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife (Joanna)

Chapter 1085

“Then I’ll make arrangements to meet with the leader of the Eprary agents as soon as possible.”

“Well, alright.” Aria nodded solemnly.

Leo did not say anything else. He turned around and left.

“Bruce, I won’t let you die in vain. I will definitely avenge you.” Aria’s eyes darkened and she couldn’t

help but cry.

It had been almost two months since Bruce’s incident.

She no longer dared to hope that Bruce would still be alive.

What she could do now was to complete his unfinished task, completely destroy District 17, and seek

revenge on his behalf.

At the same time, something happened in District 17.

Several of the world’s top scientists were currently working intensively on humanoid genetic

modification research.

“We have to speed up the progress of the experiment now and strive to complete the experiment in half

a year.” Ron looked at the results of the experiment with a serious expression.

Another scientist, Mairesi, added, “Subject 807 is experiencing rejection issues at the moment. I

suggest we observe the situation. Progressing so rapidly might lead to failure.”

The two of them were the main leaders of this experiment, with others serving as their assistants and

support. So their opinions occasionally differed.

“It’s precisely because of the abnormal rejection that I’m concerned that Subject 807 might not hold up.

That’s why we must accelerate the progress and see how far he can endure.”

Ron knew very well that once a subject experienced rejection, it essentially meant failure.

His goal now was to expedite the process only to see how far the subject could go and pave the way

for the next experiment.

“I don’t approve of this,” Mairesi retorted with a serious expression.

Selina, the female scientist, couldn’t help but agree. She said, “I agree with Mairesi’s suggestion.

“Although this subject is experiencing rejection, he’s situation is completely different from the other

subjects. He still has a chance for improvement, and his self-repair genes are highly active.

“It wasn’t easy for us to get this far. If we fail again, we’ll have to start all over again.”

“That’s right. I also suggest we take it slow and focus on studying the rejection issue.”

Seeing that several scientists proposed the same, Ron reluctantly nodded and said, “Alright. Let’s

follow your suggestions and observe for a few more days.

“Additionally, let’s check on subjects 804/805, and 806.”

“Subject 806’s experiment failed, and the subject was declared brain dead yesterday.

“Based on current observations, subject 804 won’t be able to hold on much longer. Subject 805 won’t

have any major problems for the time being. He can probably hold on until the second generation of

genetic modification.

“According to the current data, only Subject 807 has the highest chance of success.”

After Ron heard this, he nodded solemnly. “We need to continue searching for another group of

subjects. The stronger, the

better.”

“Got it.”

At the same time, the monster was inside the glass chamber.

The monster fell into a coma again. And a new round of experiments was about to begin.

The nuclei in his body had already divided and replicated many times. Each division felt like going

through a painful cycle of life and death.

The monster was covered in wounds and was unrecognizable. Its body was covered in scars from

surgery and the characteristics of mutation after genetic modification.

His once dark brown irises were now blood-red. The spine on his back seemed to protrude slightly,

resembling bone spurs. Large patches of his skin had also peeled off, revealing new scales-like skin

underneath.

Meanwhile, Joanna was at Sherane Bay Villa..

It was already Christmas Eve.

“Ah…” Joanna woke up from her nightmare once again..

She dreamed of the monster again.

After waking up, Joanna took a few minutes to regain consciousness. Recently, she had nightmares

almost every night.

Especially about that monster, she had already dreamed about it several times.

Joanna whispered, “Bruce, where are you now? How are you doing now?

“I’m really worried about you. If you’re still alive, come back quickly, okay?”

Joanna ran her fingers through her hair as tears welled up in her eyes.

She thought inwardly, “Something must have happened to him.

“Otherwise, he would have returned long ago. Who could trap him?”

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door.

“Who is it?” Joanna sat up dispiritedly.

Lilia’s voice came from outside the door. “Mommy, aren’t you up yet?”

“Well, I’ll be up soon.” Joanna ruffled her hair and got up to open the door listlessly.

Outside the door, Lilia carefully observed her mom’s expression. “Mommy, did you and Daddy have a

conflict?”

“No.”

“Then why are you sleeping in this room? Why aren’t you sleeping in the same room as Daddy?”

“I haven’t been sleeping well these few days, so I’m in this room for some peace and quiet.”

Hearing that, Lilia was surprised. “Mommy, if you’re not sleeping well, shouldn’t you have Daddy

accompany you?”

Joanna smiled at her daughter. “It’s precisely because I don’t sleep well that I’m afraid it might disturb

your daddy’s sleep. That’s why we’re sleeping in separate rooms. Sweetie, you shouldn’t worry about

grown-up matters.”

“Is that really the case?” Lilia asked worriedly.

Lilia was very sensible.

Despite her young age, she was so clever.

In particular, she was most worried that her daddy and her mommy would be separated.

“Alright. Don’t worry, sweetie. Your daddy and I haven’t argued or had any conflicts.”

“Alright then.

“It’s Christmas Eve today. Mommy, get up quickly.”

Alright.”

After Joanna finished washing up, she changed her clothes and went downstairs.

“Good morning, honey.” Bruce smiled.

“Good morning.

“Where are Davian and Irvin?”

“They’re playing outside.”

The sound of soccer being kicked came from outdoors.

“Are they playing soccer?”

Bruce nodded. “That’s right. These two little guys have gotten addicted to it lately. They play on the

lawn every day.”

“Well,” Joanna replied faintly.

Miranda walked over and handed over the Christmas Eve dinner menu. “Mrs. Everett, here’s the menu

for the Christmas Eve dinner. Take a look. Is there anything else you want to add?”

Joanna took the menu and glanced at it. It was similar to previous years. “Just go with the usual

arrangements.”

“Alright.”

Today, everyone in Sherane Bay Villa was in high spirits.

A small portion of the servants were on leave, but most of them were still here to celebrate Christmas.

Davian and Irvin ran in from outside after they finished playing soccer. “We’ll exchange gifts tonight.

“Look at our new clothes. Do they look good?”

“Yes.” Joanna squeezed out a smile.

They now look like a family reunited.

However, only Joanna knew in her heart that the most important person in the family was missing.

In the blink of an eye, it was already night.

They had finished a sumptuous Christmas Eve dinner.

The children were even more jubilant. “Merry Christmas!

“Daddy, Mommy, Merry Christmas! Congratulations and give us the gifts.”

Bruce smiled and handed out gifts to each of them.

The servants also came over with joyful greetings.

“Merry Christmas, Mr. Everett. Merry Christmas, Mrs. Everett.”

“Merry Christmas, everyone.” Joanna and Bruce distributed gifts to everyone in the house.

Every year, Christmas was also the happiest time for the servants. That was because, during

Christmas, Bruce would give out gifts, starting from at least a value of two thousand dollars.

Everyone, regardless of age or gender, received a gift when they met him.

“Alright. Christmas Eve dinner is over, and we’ve finished exchanging gifts. Let’s all go to bed now.”

“We’re not sleeping. We’re staying up all night tonight.”

“Sweetie, hurry up and go to sleep,” Joanna replied. She urged the children to go to sleep.

It was already past one in the morning.

Although it was still very lively, the children were still young. It was best not to let them stay up late.

“Well. I can’t take it anymore. I’m going to sleep,” Lilia said. She could not help but yawn. Then she

walked toward her room with her walking stick..

Devin was already asleep. There was no need to care about him. Only Davian and Irvin were making a

fuss and refusing to sleep.

Bruce looked at Joanna with concern. “Honey, you should rest too.”

“Yeah.”

“Today is Christmas Eve. Let’s not separate into different rooms. We should all be together as a family,”

Bruce said and held Joanna’s hand. This content is © NôvelDrama.Org.

Joanna did not reply, but she silently followed him back to the bedroom.

“Honey…”

Joanna didn’t wait for him to make a request and said directly, “I’m preparing to book a plane ticket

tomorrow. Are you sure you want to go to Melta with me?”

“Yeah. If you and the children go over, I’ll be worried. I’ll definitely go with

you.”

When Joanna heard this, her eyes flickered.

She thought inwardly, “If he goes with me, will I not have to take the children with us?” She had wanted

to take the children before because she was worried that leaving them at home with him would cause

harm to them.

However, if he went to Melta with Joanna/ the children would not be in danger and could stay at home

in

peace.

After all, Joanna did not know what was going on at Melta this time. It was too inconvenient to bring the

children along. Moreover, if something dangerous happened, the consequences would be

unimaginable.
