Chapter 40

Chapar 40 No One Can Bully My Mom

Lucas and Lyla’s little faces almost scrunched up when they heard this. “Of course not!”

That evil woman wanted to take their mother’s place and ruined her marriage. It was simplyunforgiveable.

Lyla thought about it and finally decided to join matchmaking bandwagon. “I agree to give Dad achance!”

Otto and Nina were instantly happy and looked at Lucas with eyes full of expectation.

Lucas looked at the two’s eager eyes and could not bear to refuse. It took him some time before hereluctantly said, “If that’s the case… then I’ll give him a chance too.”

While the four little kids were secretly devising their plan, Jason in the ward, swore he could feel a chilldown his back. The man looked up at the air conditioner, but the temperature was not set that low.However, he still adjusted it up by two degrees so that Aletta, who was still unconscious, would not betoo cold.

Eaton happened to return to the ward at this time. When Jason saw him, he asked lightly, “What haveyou found?”

Eaton nodded and reported in a low voice, “The people Ms. Rogers met in the past few days checkedout. Two days ago, Ms. Rogers went to ZL Company to see Ms. Blake, and the two talked for a while. Idon’t know specifically what they were talking. But from the surveillance nearby, it seems that the twohad some arguments.”

Jason’s thick eyebrows were knitted, and then he asked, “What else?”

“There’s also….” Eaton paused for a moment, and his tone a little hesitant.

Jason’s icy gaze swept at him, and the man said with an undeniable commanding tone, “Say what youhave. Don’t hesitate.”

Eaton nodded and hurriedly said, “There’s also the fact that Ms. Bates went to see Ms. Rogers. This isthe surveillance video of the coffee shop.”

With that said, Eaton handed his phone over. Jason raised his hand to take it and clicked on the video.

The video sound was a bit garbled, and it was hard to make out what the two were talking. However,from the picture, one could see that Aletta was neither humble nor overbearing, despite Jenny’s coldand arrogant attitude.

Jason’s eyes were slightly squinted. For some reason, he could not look away. About ten minutes later,when the video ended, he returned to his senses and shifted his eyes to Aletta’s face on the hospitalbed.

The woman was still pale and weak at this moment, a contrast to her lively usual self. It was like seeingtwo different people.

His heart ached a little, and he finally understood what Aletta meant. It could be that, when Bonnie andJenny approached her, they did not say anything good.

With that in mind, Jason’s expression suddenly became very sullen. Eaton noticed the change in hisboss’s mood as soon as he gave the report and could not help trembling. He slowly inched back tokeep a safe distance.

However, at the same time, he wondered. Why was his boss angry? Was it because Ms. Rogerscontradicted Ms. Bates, or was it because Ms. Bates went after Ms. Rogers? He speculated for quite

some time, but he could not figure it out.

It was at this time that Aletta, who had been unconscious for more than an hour, finally woke up. Themoment she opened her eyes, her eyes met Jason’s deep black eyes.

Both of them were equally surprised. Aletta’s head was empty, and she could not readily react.

Jason collected his composure, walked his long legs to the bedside, and asked softly, “Are you awake?How do you feel?”

Aletta stared at him for a time before her senses gradually returned. She remembered that she hadfainted in the restaurant, and hurriedly supported herself to get up.

“I am fine,” she responded c***lly, but the words coming out were barely audible.

Jason frowned, raised his hand, and gently pressed her down, “If you don’t feel well, lie down. Don’t tryto look strong.”

Aletta frowned, wanting to retort. However, the throbbing pain in her head made her unable to say aword.

She closed her eyes, and her heart sank. How could she be so unlucky lately? In just a few days, thisman always caught her in a mess.

The woman cursed herself for being useless and opened her eyes again. Her expression returned tothe usual calm and cold.

“Thank you, Mr. Hill, for sending me to the hospital. I’m fine now. You can leave me. I’ll have my friendcome over later, so I won’t take up your time.”

Jason was quite worried earlier, but the first words he heard when that woman opened her mouth wastelling him to leave. Sure enough, his expression went a little sour. He was actually hoping that whenshe woke up, she would speak in a better manner.

As soon as his hope was dashed, he returned fire and said in an extremely indifferent tone, “I neverwanted to stay anyway. I just want to make sure you’re still alive. After all, I’m the last personcontacting you. If something happened to you, I’ll have to explain myself. It’s very troublesome.”

Aletta frowned when she heard that. Every word coming out from that man’s mouth was venomous. Hemade it sound like she was dying.

She pursed her lips and replied, “Then you have nothing to worry. I’m perfectly fine. I still have decadesto live.”

“Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror before you said that? Even people who have been deadfor a few days. are not as pale as you.”

Jason’s tone was far for warm. The man then dragged the chair next to him, sat down, and said coldly,“If you have the strength to argue with me, why you don’t just shut up and rest. Don’t worry, I’ll leavewhen I’m sure you’re okay.”

Aletta saw that he had already made his decision, and it was pointless to argue. She did not know howto feel about it. If it was a few years back, she would probably be crazy with joy.

Now, there was not even a hint of excitement in her heart. Instead, she had mixed feelings. She triedvery hard to look strong, but every time she fell short, he was there to see her. Last time it was astomachache, this time it was a me ntal breakdown.

The wall she built with great difficulty in the past six years had been stripped to nothing! Aletta did notwant Jason to look down on her, so she again braced herself and got up from the bed.

“What are you doing?” Jason frowned, watching her action.

Aletta said as calmly as possible, “I want to get out of the hospital.”

Jason frowned and said unhappily, “Aletta, you have to take care your body more seriously!”

“Don’t worry about it. It’s just that it’s late and someone’s waiting for me at home.”

If she went home late without notifying her little ones, they would be worried. With that in mind, Alettalifted the blanket and got off the bed. Her legs were still a little weak. However, she tried her best not tolet Jason see it.

The crease on Jason’s forehead went deeper when he saw how determined she was. He was also verypuzzled. What did she mean by someone at home?

To his knowledge, Aletta had cut off contact with the Rogers family, including her foster parents whoraised her as a child. Why would she say that there was someone waiting for her at home?

Jason subconsciously glanced at Eaton next to him. Eaton just finished investigating her today, so hemight have some clues.

Unexpectedly, Eaton shook his head. He did not know that Aletta was living with someone else, unless,it was a boyfriend!

Jason seemed to have thought of this too. His face sank, and he asked coldly, “Who is this someoneyou’re talking about?”
