Chapter 448
Chapter 448 Should I Carry You Over?
Aletta was so lethargic that she slept heavily through the night.
When she woke up the next day, it was already past ten in the morning.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she felt a wave of soreness overwhelming her, like a landslide.
Indeed, one shouldn’t indulge themselves too much.
Aletta thought to herself as she turned her head slightly, only to see the culprit sitting by the bedside,reading a document while holding her hand.
Despite being engaged in his work, he didn’t let go of her hand?
Aletta blinked and felt a warm sensation in her heart, involuntarily tightening her grip.
Jason immediately sensed it.
He put down the document and looked at her, a smile playing on his lips. “Awake?”
He had always been good-looking, but this smile of his made Aletta momentarily lost her focus.Blushing slightly, she nodded and asked, “Did you sleep well?”
Upon hearing her question, Jason nodded, “Yes I did, what about you?”
His counter-question brought certain images to Aletta’s mind, making the warmth on her face evenmore apparent.
She coughed lightly and pretended to be calm as she replied, “Me.too.”
Jason made a sound of acknowledgement and patted her head, saying, “Let’s get ready, it’s almosttime for lunch.”
“Alright.”
Aletta turned over and got up on her bed.
Her legs inexplicably weakened, almost causing her to fall when she tried to get off the bed.
Jason was startled and quickly supported her, asking, “What’s wrong?”
It would have been fine if he hadn’t asked, but once he did,
Aletta’s face turned red.
The events of last night echoed clearly in her mind.
She tried to restrain herself and keep her expression calm.
However, with her legs feeling weak, she felt embarrassed and couldn’t directly tell him what hadhappened.
She touched her nose and shook her head, saying, “Nothing to worry, I did not proportion myself right.”
Jason realised her awkward expression.
He chuckled and asked, “Do you want me to carry you over?”
Aletta playfully slapped him and said, “No need!”
Without looking back, she went into the bathroom.
After a quick wash-up, Aletta and Jason descended the stairs hand in hand. The chef had alreadyprepared several dishes, steamed hot and placed them on the table. Aletta’s appetite was instantlystimulated.
Aletta glanced over the living room. She did not see Lewis, Jock, and the others, but only Eaton.
She couldn’t help but wonder, “Where are the rest of them? Have they not woken up yet?”
Eaton cleared his throat and reported, “Early this morning, the president arranged a differentaccommodation for them, mentioning that none of them should disturb both of your dates…”
Aletta, not feeling awkward upon hearing what Eaton said, looked at Jason in surprise. “From what Iunderstand, the president allows you to live within the League?”
Jason nodded, holding her hand as they entered the restaurant and said, “The President is a goodperson.”
Aletta found the situation quite miraculous.
That old-fashioned president actually agreed to this matter!
But… Being able to be together with Jason was a good thing!
She didn’t want to be separated from him either!
After they both took their seats, Aletta remembered to ask about what happened last night.
Jason didn’t hide anything from her and directly said, “The hunters have all been captured, includingthe one who almost entered the research room last night. The Medical League lost. some manpower,but it’s not a major issue. The injured ones have already been treated by numerous members throughjoint efforts.”
As he spoke, he served Aletta a bowl of hot soup.
Aletta nodded.
The advantage of being in the league was, there were many doctors, and their medical skills wereexquisite. The necessary medications for treatment were also plentiful, hence there was no need toworry at all.
She took a sip of soup and asked, “So, the issue with the hunters has been completely resolved?”
“Yes.”
Jason nodded and started to pick up food for Aletta. He calmly said, “After dealing with matters herelast night, the personnel withdrew from the league, and then we searched the island for the remnants ofthe hunters.”
He paused for a moment and suddenly glanced at the little woman beside him, saying, “Mr. Alex’s teamalso helped quite a bit.”
Upon hearing that name, Aletta couldn’t help but feel surprised.
“That guy came? When did that happen?”
Eaton, who was beside her, helped answer, “The day we arrived on the island, Mr. Alex and we wereon the same boat.”
On the same boat?
Doesn’t that mean he arrived several days ago?
She was surprised that she hadn’t heard Alex mentioning this!
However, Aletta probably understood the intention Alex came.
Must be due to her condition.
She opened her mouth but didn’t know what to say for a moment…
Jason noticed her silence and immediately spoke, “He is staying in a hotel on the island. If you want tomeet him, I can take you there later!””
Upon hearing this, Aletta raised an eyebrow, her face showing a hint of novelty.
It seemed as if this statement coming from Jason’s mouth, was something unimaginable.
After all, every time he met Alex, they would fight and couldn’t coexist peacefully!
She thought he wouldn’t want to see Alex!
To be fair, Jason indeed didn’t want to meet him.
But, Alex helped Aletta when she needed it.
Moreover, this was not a trivial matter, so it couldn’t be neglected…
Eaton, on the other hand, remained calm and said, “Master, Mr. Alex left the island early this morning!”
At this moment, on the vast blue ocean, a large ship was sailing forward.
Alex stood on the deck, blowing in the sea breeze, staring in the direction of the island that was longout of sight.
He maintained this position for a full hour, hardly moving at all.
Vincent, who was beside him, almost thought Alex had turned into a statue!
He sighed, “We’ve come all this way, and yet Ms. Rogers is nowhere to be seen. Did somethinghappen to her during the turmoil within the league last night? Perhaps she got injured.”
Alex replied coldly, “With the amount of manpower, they couldn’t protect her well? Besides, if she reallygot hurt, you would have told me earlier!”
Vincent was speechless.
“At the very least, let Ms. Rogers knows what you have done. for her,”
They had spent a considerable amount of time last night dealing with the hunters.
Alex clearly didn’t want to do that.
“Is it necessary? Speaking up will only add burden on others. Besides, what I do has nothing to do withher. I don’t want her to feel indebted to me,” he said.
Vincent remained silent, “…”
So, it turned out that Alex had chosen the path of expressing deep affection?
You couldn’t tell at all from his usual sharp-tongued behaviour!
Moreover, this kind of role in a TV drama is usually the cannon fodder second male lead, who nevergets a chance with the female protagonist!
Alex sensed Vincent reproach him.
He suppressed his brows, glancing coldly in his direction, and said, “Do you have nothing better to do?Why are you lingering here?”
Vincent dared not stay any longer and quickly left his sight.
