The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 745

Bruce’s heart ached as he asked in a deep voice, “When did you find out?”

Aria hesitated for a few seconds before whispering, “About two months ago.”

He was once again speechless, not knowing how to comfort her.

They fell into silence once more.

After a long while.

She took a deep breath, then she said with a slightly trembling voice, “So, I took this opportunity to come to Greyport, specifically to see you. I wanted to tell you what I’ve kept buried in my heart for many years. I’m afraid that if I don’t say it now, I’ll never get the chance.”

She spoke while holding back her sobs.

As he listened, he felt as if his heart was being torn apart. “Aria, with the advancements in medical treatment nowadays, you’ll surely be fine. Don’t worry. I will find you the best neurologists in the world. You have to stay positive, eh? I’m sure you’ll recover…”

She smiled sadly. “I do hope so. Well, that is why I was hoping you can come and see me tomorrow. I’m afraid that we won’t see each other ever again.”

Hearing this, he had an indescribable feeling.

“Alright, I will definitely come to see you tomorrow.”

“Okay… Then it’s settled!” After finishing her sentence, she hung up the call without waiting for him to say anything.

Some believed that the most precious things in life were often the ones we could never possess or those we had lost forever.

She wanted to leave a deep imprint on his heart, to make him remember her forever.

Her love and devotion for all these years would find meaning and purpose as long as she continued to reside in his heart.

“Bruce, if I can’t become your wife, then let me be your everlasting memory!”

After hanging up.

Restlessness consumed him, prompting him to pace back and forth in the corridor while chain-smoking several cigarettes in

succession.

Even though he had quit smoking, the turmoil in his heart now made him crave the relief that cigarettes could provide. He could not believe that Aria had been diagnosed with brain cancer.

He knew how horrifying this condition could be. Even with the best neurologists from around the world, the chances of a complete cure were only 10%.

He never imagined that she would fall seriously ill.

Over the years, although they had not been in touch, they both kept tabs on each other through the organization they worked for.

She had been dedicated to her studies in the field of biology and had achieved considerable success.

Within the organization, there was no hierarchical structure, but she was primarily responsible for coordinating members in different locations. He used to have a handler, through whom all communication about missions and assignments was conducted.

Yet, unfortunately, that handler had tragically lost his life half a year ago. The organization then assigned a new handler to
