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 herwith great interest as the reflection of the scene outside the window played on the glass.
As Aletta approached, exuding a fragrant and delicate aura, a slight smile formed on Jason’s lips. Heturned around and looked at her, in a good mood, asking, “Were you awake?”
Aletta nodded, glancing at the scenery outside the floor-to-ceiling window. Compared to the artificiallighting 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. Sheobediently 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, rubbedher 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 freshenup. 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, shenoticed 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 thisafternoon. The antidote experiment is complete, 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 couldrecover sooner, we could go back early!”
Jason nodded, feeling happy as well but more concerned. He embraced Aletta, softly asking, “Wereyou afraid?”
Aletta looked up at him and shook her head, saying, “Of course not. I was a doctor too, and I knew Icouldn’t shy away from treatment. The sooner we started, the sooner I could overcome it.”
Speaking up to this point, her tone couldn’t help but reveal a hint of regret. “But I had planned to takeyou out for a walk today. I didn’t expect plans to change.”
Jason chuckled lightly, holding her tighter, and said, “There’s no rush for those things. We can gosightseeing 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 aroundJason’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, gentlysmiling.
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 beforeheading straight back to the World Medical Alliance.
In the afternoon, inside the research laboratory.
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 upcoming treatmentplan.
The process was relatively straightforward,administering the antidote into Aletta’s body. During thisperiod, Aletta needed to remain in the research laboratory for observation.
This approach aimed to prevent any unexpected physical conditions and enable immediate observationand treatment if necessary.
After finishing his explanation, President Thomson emphasized, “The medication will start taking effectwithin approximately half an hour to an hour. When that happens, you must honestly communicate yourfeelings 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 backfor now? The treatment process may be lengthy, and waiting here could get boring.”
The others glanced 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, accompanied by a few individuals, she entered the research laboratory.
Jason stayed outside, watching through the glass.

President Thomson and the others wasted no time and proceeded directly to administer the medicationto Aletta after completing the disinfection process.
Watching Aletta’s slender figure surrounded by a crowd of people as if she were an experiment, Jasoncouldn’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, hewished 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 anothermysterious force intervened. When our people moved earlier, the opposing side interfered and laterdisrupted 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 currentlypinpoint Professor Peter’s exact location.”
He said quickly, “However, Sam will definitely do everything possible to replace 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. Asfor the mysterious force you mentioned… It seems my previous suspicions were correct. Besides theHunters, other entities may be behind this so-called Professor Peter!”
“That’s likely,” Eaton agreed, nodding.
Jason glanced at him with a sombre expression and said, “You know what to do, right? I won’t allowanything or anyone threatening Aletta’s safety, be it Professor Peter or that so-called mysterious force!”
