Chapter 368Chapter 368 Will You Go on a Date with Me?
Upon hearing this, Lewis seemed to remember something and hurriedly said, “I forgot to tell you
something!”
“Last night, Gene sent a message saying that ‘X–1‘ has a six–month incubation period. The people
who died earlier, according to the examination results, had been taking the drug for more than six
months! So, we still have a lot of time!”
Upon hearing this, Aletta’s spirits lifted, and she confirmed, “Is that true?”
Lewis nodded earnestly, “Yes, the time for developing the antidote is more lenient now, but we still can’t
slack off. The sooner we develop it, the better.”
“Right,” Aletta agreed.
After all, that drug was not a mature technology and was purely harmful to people. It was harmful with
no benefits while inside the body. But because of this news, the tension that had been hanging in
Aletta’s heart finally relaxed a bit.
In the evening, Jason came to pick up Aletta.
As she got into the car, there was a slight excitement on her face.
Jason couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you so happy today? Did the research make progress?”
Aletta smiled and said, “Yes, there has been progress. It went much smoother than yesterday!”
Jason nodded in response, “That’s good. I’ll take you out for dinner first.”“Sounds good,” Aletta happily agreed.
On the way to the restaurant, she looked at the brightly lit surroundings and suddenly asked Jason,
“After we finish eating, do you want to go for a walk?”
She felt a bit guilty for keeping him waiting for two days.
Jason didn’t mind, but still replied, “We can do that. If you want to go, we’ll go.”
Aletta raised an eyebrow and said, “Alright, let’s go.”
She already had a place in mind.
After dinner, the two of them arrived at Marienplatz. A famous attraction in Germany.
Th€ connection to th€ §ource of thïš dat@ r€§t$ in n0v3lebookWalking on the streets, one could feel the historical heritage and cultural accumulation of this place.
In the center of the square, there was an exquisitely carved Marian Column, with a golden statue of the
Virgin Mary on top.
Mary held a scepter in her left hand and cradled the Holy Child in her right, emitting an aura of solemn
purity.
The square was crowded with people, and Aletta occasionally bumped into passersby.
Jason quickly grabbed her hand upon seeing this.
Aletta was startled and looked at him.
Jason confidently said, “To prevent us from getting separated!”
Aletta thought, “I’m not a child.”However, with the bustling crowd around them. It would indeed be troublesome if they got separated.
So, she didn’t bother to struggle and placed her hand obediently in the warm palm of the man.
The two of them strolled around, occasionally enjoying street performances and admiring the
architecture. It was a simple and comfortable time, making them feel incredibly content!
Later in the evening, Aletta felt a bit tired and found a cafe by the roadside to rest.
Jason sat across from her, accompanying her in enjoying this relaxed moment.
After a few minutes, a young German man approached them and politely asked, “Beautiful miss, may I
ask if the gentleman next to you is your boyfriend? If not, I wonder if I have a chance to pursue you?”
Aletta hadn’t reacted yet. But Jason, who was sitting across,
already had a dark expression on his face. In standard German, he said, “No chance. She’s my wife.”
“Sorry for the disturbance.”
The man’s face showed a slight regret, but he didn’t linger and quickly walked away.
Aletta found it amusing as she looked at Jason.
Then, she shifted her gaze to Jason and calmly asked, “When did I become your wife? I wasn’t aware.”
Jason didn’t expect Aletta to understand and was slightly surprised. “You also know their language?”
Aletta said, “I’m not very good at it, but I can understand some. There was a German person, Lucas at
the Yargsbourgh research institute. And I used to learn the language with him.”
Jason suddenly realized, but he remained calm.He calmly looked at Aletta and said, “I didn’t say it wrong. You were before, and you will be in the
future!”
Aletta didn’t know what to say when she heard this. She realized that ever since this man openly
pursued her, he had become shameless…
After finishing their coffee, they returned to the hotel. As soon as they entered the room, a video call
from the four little ones came Mommy, is everything going well at Germany? Did you go on a date with
Daddy?”
Upon hearing the voices, Jason naturally followed Aletta and sat on the sofa.
Looking at the four adorable little ones, Aletta’s gaze softened. And she replied, “Things are going well.
As for the date… we just went out for a walk, does that count?”
Lyla rested her chin on her hands, looking obedient and cute.
Upon hearing Aletta’s response, she immediately grumbled, “Oh no, what a waste of a great
opportunity! Daddy shouldn’t have missed it!”
Jason deliberately said, “Your mommy is busy with work and doesn’t have time, so I can’t help it.”
Otto chimed in, “Once the work is done, you can take the opportunity to play for a couple of days.
Daddy should seize the chance!”
Lyla agreed, “That’s right! Relationships need cultivation!”
Lucas and Nina didn’t say anything, but they agreed wholeheartedly.
Aletta was a bit speechless. These four little ones practically had their thoughts of matchmaking written
all over their faces!After chatting with the four little ones for a while, the video call ended.
Jason took the opportunity to ask, “How many more days do you have for your research with Lewis?”
Aletta thought for a moment and replied, “One more busy day, and it should be done. The remaining
work, I can continue researching in France. However…”
She paused and said to Jason, “I might not have time to go out. The project in my hands is quite
important.”
Jason contemplated for a few seconds and smiled, “So, you’re willing to go on a date with me, but you
don’t have the time?”
Aletta hurriedly said, “I didn’t mean that, I didn’t…”
“Just consider it as you admitting it.”
Jason pinched her cheek. “You can make it up to me later.”
Aletta remained silent.
The next day, Aletta spent another busy day in the research lab.
In the evening, when they finished, Lewis unusually put down his work and said to Aletta, “I’m leaving
tomorrow. Let me treat you to a meal. I haven’t properly entertained you during these days.”
Aletta smiled when she saw him and said, “It’s not easy to get you out of the lab voluntarily! II somehow
feeling a bit proud.”
Lewis said, “Hmm, you should feel proud. Not everyone gets this treatment.”The two of them left the lab and headed out. On the way, Aletta sent a message to Jason, informing
him to come later.
During dinner, the atmosphere between the two wasn’t particularly lively. But it wasn’t awkward either.
Lewis didn’t forget to remind Aletta, “Afterward, every other week. Remember to extract your blood
cells and observe the changes in the drug within your body. Send me the data as soon as possible.”
“No problem.”
Aletta nodded and sincerely thanked him, “Thank you so much, Lewis. I really appreciate it this time.”
Lewis didn’t like these formalities and waved his hand, “It’s nothing. I’ve always enjoyed research, and
now I naturally hope to develop the antidote as soon as possible to help you overcome this difficult
situation.”
After dinner, the two of them left the restaurant together.
Lewis jingled his car keys and asked, “Do you want me to drive you?”
Aletta shook her head with a smile. “No need. Someone will come to pick me up.”
Upon hearing her words, Lewis didn’t insist and bid farewell, leaving.
Aletta waved to him and waited for Jason on the side of the street.
About two minutes later, a black car arrived.
Jason stepped out of the back seat and called her name, “Aletta, over here!”
As soon as Aletta heard his voice, she immediately stepped forward.But at that moment, Jason suddenly sensed danger. With the corner of his eye, he caught sight of a
dark figure not far behind Aletta. Holding a gun and aiming at her back.
Jason’s pupils contracted, and he shouted sternly, “Be careful!”
At the same time, he threw himself towards Aletta, disregarding his own safety…
