The Return of His Unrivaled Ex-Wife

Chapter 1098

“Exactly! I also believe entering through the underground dark river is too risky. Unless we are left with no other choice, we must not resort to this method,” Leo said firmly, his expression showing resistance.

Aria added determinedly, “Right now, we can take the initiative to test the waters. Create some provocations that will catch the attention of those scientists in District 17. After our people are captured and taken to District 17, we can gather accurate information and establish communication with the outside. We’ll have the upper hand with a coordinated effort from within and outside. But first, we must prepare a meticulous and comprehensive plan.”

Joanna felt her heart skip a beat. Her mind was tangled in a whirlwind of thoughts.

At this moment, there seemed to be no better option, so they had no choice but to follow Aria’s lead.

With a firm nod, Jaydon agreed, “Then it’s settled!”

“We’ll head back now and share this information with the others. When we’re ready to move, we’ll contact you again.”

With a worried expression, Joanna exclaimed, “Please be careful out there!”

“Understood, and you take care too,”

“Yeah,” Joanna replied.

“We’ll take our leave now,” Aria and Leo stood up, ready to embark on the next phase of their plan.

Joanna intended to stand up, but her body felt weak, “Jay, why don’t you see them off?”

“Will do,” Jaydon replied.

Aria firmly declined, “No need! You rest up and take care. Leo, let’s go.”

After they left.

Joanna was still weak and dizzy as if she had caught a severe cold.

Jaydon asked worriedly, “Joann, are you okay? Should I take you to the hospital for a check-up?”

“I’ll be fine, just feeling a bit dizzy. It’s probably just a cold. I’ll take some cold medicine later, and I’ll be okay,” Joanna replied.

“Alright, take some cold medicine and get a good night’s sleep. Don’t put too much pressure on yourself. Look at how tired your eyes are,” Jaydon said.

“Jay, my mind is in turmoil, and I’m frightened,” Joanna replied, collapsing on the sofa like a worn-out wind-up toy and utterly exhausted.
