Ten minutes later.
Bruce calmed down and prepared to return to the company. Just as he was about to start the car, his
phone rang.
Beep, beep!
He picked up his phone and saw it was a number from Antlen.
Bruce frowned but still answered the call. “Hello…”
Aria’s gentle voice came from the other end of the phone. “Bruce, it’s me, Aria.”
“I know,” Bruce replied coldly.
“It’s been so long now. The organization has urged us three times. We really can’t delay any longer,”
Aria said awkwardly.
Bruce replied in a deep voice, “I know. I’ve booked a flight for tomorrow.
“I’ll leave tomorrow afternoon and be there by noon the day after tomorrow.”
Aria heaved a sigh of relief when she heard Bruce’s words. She said, “Okay, I’ll pick you up at the
airport then.”
“No, thanks!” said Bruce.
Aria was stunned and subconsciously fell silent.
Bruce pondered for a few seconds, then asked, “Have you gone to see a doctor?
“Your illness can’t be put off any longer. You’d better go to the hospital for treatment as soon as
possible! The longer you delay, the more serious it will be, and the less hope there is for treatment.”
Regardless of whether it was for public or private reasons, Bruce hoped that Aria could live well.
It had nothing to do with love. It was just out of concern and sympathy between friends and colleagues.
Not to mention that they had once been in a relationship, even if he had never loved her.
Bruce did not want such an outstanding young biologist to die too early.
Aria sighed and said solemnly, “I’ve said it before. I can only relax and undergo treatment after the
mission is completed.
“I just can’t calm down right now.”
Bruce did not say anything more when he heard her words. “Alright, that’s all for now.”
Just as Bruce was about to hang up…
Aria hurriedly added, “By the way… there’s something else I want to tell you.”
“Tell me,” said Bruce.
“The organization wants us to form…” Aria could not help but want to stop saying something as she
spoke.
The organization expected Bruce and Aria to work together as husband and wife.
In this way, it would not arouse the suspicion of the outside world when the two interacted. It also
added another protective barrier to Bruce’s identity.
Aria was naturally happy to accept such an arrangement. However, she had witnessed Bruce’s
dedication to Joanna. She was not sure whether he would.
Therefore, she did not dare to say it out loud.
“What does the organization want?” Bruce asked in confusion.
“Forget it. I won’t talk to you for now. I’ll tell you when you reach Antlen!” said Aria.
“Alright then! Let’s do this for now!” Bruce said and hung up the phone.
Aria also hung up weakly.
