In the ward.
Bruce came to the bed nervously. “Honey, are you feeling better?”
“I’m alright!”
“That’s good. That’s good.” Bruce’s eyes were red as tears fell.
Seeing this, Joanna smiled gently. “Silly, why are you crying?”
“I’m just too worried about you, really, Bruce said. As he pressed her hand tightly against his face, he
gently stroked Joanna’s face.
Joanna had been unconscious for nearly two months. He was really about to break down. Especially
when he thought Joanna was dead, he was already prepared to die with her.
Joanna blinked slightly. “Is this… Greyport?”
“That’s right! We’re already back at Greyport.”
“Oh,” Joanna replied lightly and looked at Bruce affectionately and gently.
She could no longer remember what happened before she fainted.
She only remembered that the car had crashed into the water and she lost consciousness. When she
regained consciousness, she had already returned to Greyport.
Therefore, she had no impression of what happened after no man’s land. She also did not know that
Bruce had killed the few hundred people in District 17 and completely blown it up.
Naturally, she did not see his most cruel and bloody side. What she saw now was only a fragile crybaby
filled with childishness.
“Boohoohoo…” Bruce wiped his tears and sniffled as if he had suffered a great grievance.
He did not cry when he was captured in District 17. He did not cry when his stomach was cut open. He

Joanna reached out and gently caressed his face. “Ha, why do you like to cry so much now?”
“Honey, let’s never be apart again, okay?”
“Alright, we’ll never be apart!”
“Ok. Boohoohoo…”
“Silly, stop crying. You’ll make a fool of yourself if you do.”
“Go ahead and laugh if you like! I’m just… I’m just boohoohoo…” Bruce sniffled and choked up.
Who said that men did not cry easily?
It was just that they had not reached the point of sadness.
Moreover, a man would forever be a boy at heart. No matter how successful a man was, he would still
retain a trace of childishness in his heart.
Only when they gave up all their feelings without holding back would they be so sincere and reveal
their weakest side.
Other than the person he loved the most, no one else would have the chance to see his vulnerability.
“Knock! Knock!” There was a knock on the door.
Hearing the knock on the door, Bruce used Joanna’s hand to hold back his tears and said in a sobbing
voice, “Come… Sniff… Come in.”
Mr. Carter and Dr. Down pushed the door open and walked in.
“Mr. Everett, Mrs. Everett’s test results are out.” After Dr. Down finished speaking, his expression
immediately became awkward.
“Is Mr. Everett still crying?” he wondered. “Mrs. Everett is already awake. Why is Mr. Everett still crying
like a child?”
“How are the lab tests?”
Dr. Down’s back was tense. He quickly replied solemnly, “Oh, Mrs. Everett’s physique is very special.
It’s simply a special case.”
“How so?”
“When I examined Mrs. Everett’s body previously, Mrs. Everett’s brain

nerves were already close to death. But now, they have miraculously returned to normal. This is really
a medical miracle. It has already broken through the limits of medicine.”
When Bruce heard that, his brain froze.
“I think we can hold a medical research conference to specially study the special case of Mrs.
Everett…”
When Bruce heard this, his face darkened. “You can’t tell anyone about what happened here, let alone
reveal a word to anyone.”
When the two attending physicians heard this, their faces tightened and they hurriedly nodded. “Oh,
okay, I understand!”
“By the way, is the fetus okay?”
“No problem. The fetus is developing very well.”
“Alright, I understand.”
“You can leave now!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Yes.” After the two doctors finished their report, they quickly left the ward.
After the doctor left, Joanna looked confused and asked in confusion, “Fetus? What fetus?”
“Silly, you have a new life in your belly now. We’re about to have our fifth child!”
Joanna choked and subconsciously touched her abdomen.
Her abdomen was very flat and did not bulge too much.
“I… I’m pregnant again?” Joanna’s face was filled with shock. She could not believe it.
Bruce nodded heavily. “Yes! This is our fifth child.”
Joanna blinked twice in a daze and subconsciously touched her abdomen.
She really could not believe that she was pregnant again.
She was stunned for a long time.
Joanna then asked worriedly, “Then can we keep this child?”
Bruce was stunned.
The child was conceived at no man’s land.
At that time, Bruce had already been genetically modified. In scientific terms, his current genes were
already half-human and half-beast.
What if a freak was born?
To be honest, he didn’t know how to face it. Even if it wasn’t a freak, it definitely wouldn’t be a healthy
child.
For example, Lilia was born with a disability. To be honest, Lilia had suffered a lot in life. Not only did
the children suffer, but the adults also suffered.
Joanna thought of this and looked at Bruce worriedly.
Under normal circumstances, she would definitely keep this child.
