Chapter 457


    Chapter 457 Were You Afraid?


    From the moment Jason got out of bed, he sensed it. He didn’t move, though. Instead, he watched her


    with great interest as the reflection of the scene outside the window yed on the ss.


    As Aletta approached, exuding a fragrant and delicate aura, a slight smile formed on Jason’s lips. He


    turned around and looked at her, in a good mood, asking, “Were you awake?”


    Aletta nodded, ncing at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Compared to the artificial


    lighting of the previous night, the view then was noticeably more expansive and impactful.


    Just as Aletta was about to enjoy it fully, she noticed the man. beside her staring down at her feet,


    furrowing his brows slightly. He said, “Why weren’t you wearing shoes? The floor was cold!”


    “I wanted to surprise you,” Aletta replied with a smile.


    Before she could finish her sentence, the next second, the man scooped her up in his arms. She


    obediently wrapped her arms. around his neck, allowing him to hold her.


    Jason carried her back to the bed and then fetched her shoes. Aletta obediently put them on, rubbed


    her sleepy eyes, stretched her body, and finally asked, “When did you wake up?”


    “It’s been a while,” Jason raised his hand, tidying up her slightly dishevelled hair. He said, “Go freshen


    up. I went to notify the hotel to deliver breakfast to the room.”


    Aletta nodded and said, “Okay.”


    After that, Aletta quickly got up and went into the bathroom to freshen up. When she came out, she


    noticed that breakfast hadn’t arrived yet, but Jason was on the phone.


    Aletta noticed he was using her phone and heard him say, “Alright, got it.”


    Ending the call, Aletta walked over and immediately asked, “Who was it?”


    Jason’s tone became slightly heavy as he said, “It was Lewis. She wanted me to bring you back this


    afternoon. The antidote experiment isplete, and the treatment may begin this afternoon.”


    Upon hearing this, Aletta’s eyes lit up with joy. She said excitedly, “Really? That’s great! If I could


    recover sooner, we could go back early!”


    Jason nodded, feeling happy as well but more concerned. He embraced Aletta, softly asking, “Were


    you afraid?”


    Aletta looked up at him and shook her head, saying, “Of course not. I was a doctor too, and I knew I


    couldn’t shy away from treatment. The sooner we started, the sooner I could ovee it.”


    Speaking up to this point, her tone couldn’t help but reveal a hint of regret. “But I had nned to take


    you out for a walk today. I didn’t expect ns to change.”


    Jason chuckled lightly, holding her tighter, and said, “There’s no rush for those things. We can go


    sightseeing anytime. In my heart, you’re more important than anything else!”


    After speaking, Jason leaned down and kissed Aletta’s forehead.


    Jason’s tenderness made Aletta’s heart melt. Without hesitation, she tiptoed, hooked her arms around


    Jason’s neck, and gently pressed her soft lips against his, sharing a good morning kiss.


    Jason naturally didn’t refuse her; he immensely enjoyed Aletta taking the initiative.


    They passionately kissed, but Jason didn’t take it any further because breakfast arrived.


    He adjusted his breath, panting slightly, and Aletta looked at his rare disheveled appearance, gently


    smiling.


    Jason felt a bit helpless. After going out to collect the breakfast, they ate together.


    Once breakfast was finished, they checked out of the hotel and took a brief stroll in the vicinity before


    heading straight back to the World Medical Alliance.


    In the afternoon, inside the researchboratory.


    Aletta’s friends, as well as President Thomson, were present.


    As Aletta entered, President Thomson greeted her, saying, “You’re here?”


    “Yes,” Aletta nodded and approached them.


    President Thomson wasted no time and got straight to the point, discussing the uing treatment


    n.


    The process was rtively straightforward,administering the antidote into Aletta’s body. During this


    period, Aletta needed to remain in the researchboratory for observation.


    This approach aimed to prevent any unexpected physical conditions and enable immediate observation


    and treatment if necessary.


    After finishing his exnation, President Thomson emphasized, “The medication will start taking effect


    within approximately half an hour to an hour. When that happens, you must honestlymunicate your


    feelings without concealing anything. Understand?”


    “Yes, I understand,” Aletta nodded in agreement.


    She hesitated momentarily, then looked at Jason beside her and said, “Otherwise… Could you go back


    for now? The treatment process may be lengthy, and waiting here could get boring.”

    The others nced at her upon hearing this but remained silent.


    They understood that Aletta was trying to persuade Jason to leave.


    After all, the treatment process could potentially be quite painful.


    And how could Jason not perceive her intentions?


    Jason’s gaze was deep and affectionate as he gently replied, “I’I stay here with you.”


    Seeing his determination, Aletta knew there was no way to send him away.


    In the end, she reluctantly agreed, “Alright.”


    Soon, apanied by a few individuals, she entered the researchboratory.


    Jason stayed outside, watching through the ss.


    |Mouchers


    President Thomson and the others wasted no time and proceeded directly to administer the medication


    to Aletta afterpleting the disinfection process.


    Watching Aletta’s slender figure surrounded by a crowd of people as if she were an experiment, Jason


    couldn’t help but feel uneasy.


    His face turned grim, his lips pressed tightly together, and a faint hint of coldness appeared in his eyes.


    Eaton, witnessing this, didn’t know what to say.


    After a while, Jason suddenly asked, “Has there been any news from Sam regarding Professor Peter?”


    Knowing that the suffering his beloved was currently enduring originated from this Professor Peter, he


    wished he could eliminate him immediately!


    Naturally, Eaton understood his young master’s thoughts and quickly reported, “We’re still tracking him.


    We can confirm that the Hunters’ people took Professor Peter away. However, it seemed that another


    mysterious force intervened. When our people moved earlier, the opposing side interfered andter


    disrupted our tracking efforts.”


    Upon hearing this, Jason’s eyes narrowed slightly, “A mysterious force?”


    “Yes,” Eaton nodded, “It seemed that they anticipated our actions, which is why we can’t currently


    pinpoint Professor Peter’s exact location.”


    He said quickly, “However, Sam will definitely do everything possible to find out.”


    Upon hearing this, Jason’s gaze darkened noticeably.


    His tone turned cold and stern as he said, “If we’re short on human resources, deploy more people. As


    for the mysterious force you mentioned… It seems my previous suspicions were correct. Besides the


    Hunters, other entities may be behind this so-called Professor Peter!”


    “That’s likely,” Eaton agreed, nodding.


    Jason nced at him with a sombre expression and said, “You know what to do, right? I won’t allow


    anything or anyone threatening Aletta’s safety, be it Professor Peter or that so-called mysterious force!”
