Chapter 803
In the office, Joanna opened the files and began to process them meticulously.
Fortunately, she had previously served as the acting president of the Everett Group, and Bruce had entrusted her
with many tasks. Combined with her extensive experience at the Haynes Group, dealing with these tasks was not a
problem at all.
In the blink of an eye, the entire morning passed.
Joanna had not even had time for lunch, focusing intensely on processing dozens of contracts.
Finally, it was already 2 o’clock in the afternoon.
Joanna rubbed her tired eyes and checked the time on her watch.
It should be morning in Antlen by now.
Ring, ring, ring.
“Antlen should be around 7 o’clock now. Aria should be awake by now.
“I’d better call and ask about the situation…”
Setting aside her work, Joanna eagerly dialed Aria’s number.
The phone rang for a long time.
Just as she was about to hang up, Aria picked up the call. “Hello…”
Joanna’s heart tightened, and she quickly said, “Miss Bridges, good morning. It’s me.”

“How is Bruce today? Has there been any improvement?” Joanna wanted to make small talk in the first place.
However, she really could not think of what to say, so she went straight to the point.
Aria hesitated for a few seconds before gently replying, “For the time being, there’s been no change. The toxins in
Bruce’s body need to be gradually cleared, and he won’t wake up so quickly.”
When Joanna heard the situation, she became even more anxious and uneasy. “Are you available for a video call? I
want.., to see how he’s doing.
“I’m really worried about him and I want to see him now.”
Aria interrupted Joanna. “I’m sorry, but phones are prohibited in the research institute.
“Therefore, I can’t talk with you through video call. I’m preparing to go to the research institute now, so I won’t say
more for the time being.
“If Bruce’s condition improves, I’ll let you know.”
With Aria’s words, Joanna had no choice but to say, “Alright then. Thank you for your hard work.”
“It’s nothing, it’s what I should do.”
Joanna did not know what else to say.
“That’s it then. I’ll hang up now.” Aria said and directly ended the call.
Joanna still held the phone and stayed for nearly a minute.
She had no idea about Bruce’s current condition, nor did she know Aria’s true intentions.
Other than cautiously trying to please Aria, she really had no other way.
After hanging up the phone, a blissful and infatuated emotion appeared on Aria’s face. She reached out and gently
stroked Bruce’s cheek, greedily moving from his forehead down to his chest…
Bruce was still unconscious, lying on the white, soft bed as if asleep.
In this state, he resembled a perfectly carved Greek sculpture, handsome and flawless.
“Bruce, I love you. I really love you.
“No one loves you more than I do.
“I just want you to be with me, even if it’s only for a short time, I’ll be satisfied.
“Bruce, have you forgotten our promise? That year, under the sycamore trees, we vowed to love each other for a
lifetime, unwavering until death.
“Why did you… change your mind so easily? Do you know that all these years, I have kept myself pure for you?”.
As Aria spoke, she could not help but press her face against Bruce’s chest, warm tears falling drop by drop onto
him.
Then she curled up in his embrace and began kissing him passionately, greedily wanting to merge with his body.
Of course, Bruce was still in a coma, like a living dead, without any reaction or response.
But even so, Aria still felt very satisfied, even if it was just hugging and kissing. She felt like she owned him.
She loved him so much.
She even wanted to give herself completely to him before her impending death.

But…
Bruce coldly rejected her love, and even if she was on the verge of death, he still refused to accept her.
So, she used this method to keep him by her side.
“Bruce… I love you, I really love you…
“Will you let me be your woman?
-“You love me, don’t you? Love me wholeheartedly, just once, please?”
Aria clung to him tightly and could not stop fussing over Bruce.
At this moment, she felt very satisfied.
Even without any substantial breakthrough, just being able to intimately embrace him was enough to make her
content.
“Bruce, I really can’t bear to part with you. I want to be with you forever and ever.
“God is so unfair, reuniting us just to separate us for the rest of our lives.
“I really can’t bear to leave you, I truly love you!
“Can we never be apart? Bruce, will you hate me?
“Will you hate me for being so selfish? But…” Aria kept murmuring in his ear.
Bruce did not seem to have any reaction. He had been infected by the virus and was in a state of unconsciousness.
Previously, when he was in a coma, there would be some level of consciousness in his brain, but he could not wake
up.
However, this time, he had no consciousness at all.
