Chapter 400Chapter 400 I Missed You
Upon hearing that Aletta was in trouble, Jock and the others immediately put aside their tasks and
came to check on her.
“What happened?”
Lewis asked with a serious expression.
Aletta clenched her chest and said, “It’s the same as last time when it happened…’
Before she could finish her sentence, her vision darkened, and then she collapsed backward, her
whole body going limp.
Just before passing out, she only managed to hear an anxious cry, “Aletta!!!”
When Aletta woke up again, it was already the next day.
As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Walt sitting alone in a chair by the bed.
“You’re awake?”
Walt noticed the movement and immediately asked, “How do you feel? Are you feeling better?”
Aletta struggled to sit up from the bed and replied, “I’m fine…”
As she spoke, memories of her fainting spell returned to her. She asked Walt, “How long have I been
unconscious? And where are they?”
Walt gestured towards the direction of the Research Lab. “You were unconscious for one night. After
they made sure you were okay last night, they went back to their work.”Aletta nodded, “I sec.”
Then she tried to get out of bed.
Seeing this, Walt hurriedly stopped her, “Tell me what you need, and I’ll get it for you.”

the Research Lab later.”
Upon hearing this. Walt’s expression became somewhat complicated.
“You… have a health issue, why didn’t you say anything? I overheard them saying that you… might
only have a month left!”
His tone was somewhat strained, “You’re in such a serious condition, why are you still treating me?”
“It won’t take up much time.”
Aletta calmly stood up and replied, her gaze carrying a warning, “But you must not tell Grandpa,
Grandma, or the children about my health issue. No one is allowed to say anything.”
Walt fell silent for a few seconds and asked, “Doesn’t Mr. Hill know either? He had a video call with you
last night and said the children wanted to talk to you. I answered the call…”
Aletta’s heart skipped a beat, and her voice turned slightly heavy, “Did you slip up?”
“No.”
Walt quickly denied, “I said you were asleep, and your phone was left on the table.”
Aletta breathed a sigh of relief.Thank goodness…
She warned Walt, “He shouldn’t say anything either! I came all the way abroad for treatment, so you
have to keep it a secret for me! I’ll definitely be fine after a month!”
Seeing her speak with such conviction. Walt didn’t know what to say for a moment.
Aletta didn’t waste any more words and turned to enter the bathroom to freshen up.
While washing her face, she noticed that her complexion was surprisingly pale, so she instinctively
applied some lipstick to add color to her lips and checks.
When she came out, she took out her phone and initiated a video call with Jason.
It connected shortly after, and the handsome and unrivaled face of the man appeared on the screen.
His features were gentle as he said, “Are you awake?”
“Yeah.”
Aletta smiled brightly, “You sent me a video last night? Sorry, I was asleep and didn’t hear it.”
Jason smirked and didn’t mind, “It’s okay. The little ones missed you and wanted to talk to you.”
“Oh, I missed them too…,” Aletta’s expression was somewhat regretful.
Jason reassured her, “We can talk again tonight.”
Aletta nodded.
Jason raised an eyebrow and his voice deepened slightly as he asked, “Besides missing them, is there
anything else?”Aletta blinked innocently, pretending to be clueless, “Nothing else. Is there something else? Oh, I also
miss Grandpa and Grandma!”
“What else?”
Jason propped up the phone on the table and calmly stared at her.
Aletta tilted her head and said. “There’s also Donovan. I miss him too!”
Jason couldn’t help but burst into laughter
This woman, she’s definitely doing it on purpose!
“Aletta!”
He called out her name with a warning tone, his expression appearing somewhat dangerous.
Seeing him like this. Aletta couldn’t help but chuckle, finally stopping. her teasing.
“I haven’t finished my sentence yet, don’t be so impatient! There’s someone else I want to mention, a
person named Jason!”
Jason finally heard what he wanted to hear. and the momentary danger from earlier disappeared.
replaced by a profound gaze.
In the past, he was cold-hearted and couldn’t understand the painful feeling of separation and farewell
depicted in movies.
Now, with someone he cared about, he realized how difficult it was just to be apart.
In just a few days, he had the impulse to go abroad and bring her back!However, Jason restrained himself in the end. He just raised his hand and lightly brushed the screen of
his phone, as if caressing her head.
Then he said, “Be good, I miss you too. Take good care of yourself and don’t make me worry.”
Upon hearing these words, Aletta’s heart skipped a beat, and her nose felt a bit sour.
She lowered her gaze, disguising her emotions, and said, “Yes, alright.”
After chatting for a while, they hung up the call.
Afterward, Aletta went straight to the Research Lab.
Jock and Kirk saw her coming and immediately asked with concern, “Aletta, how do you feel today?”
Aletta honestly replied, “I’m very tired and my body feels weak.”
Jock and Kirk were not surprised at all.
Lewis spoke up, “I told you back in France, you can’t overexert yourself. Your body is not the same as
before, and if you don’t rest properly for a few days, it will lead to a weakened immune system! The
pain in your heart is also a signal of organ problems! So, from now on, you have to listen to us, don’t
get too involved in the research, just do what is necessary and leave the rest to us!”
Upon hearing this, Aletta hesitated a bit. “But having one more person means having more strength,
doesn’t it?”
Lewis’s tone was stern, “Yes! Your medical skills can indeed help us a lot, but your body can’t handle it
anymore! You’re a patient now, you
have to follow the doctor’s orders *Jock and Kirk joined in the persuasion
“Aletta, please listen to Lewis! Although it will slow down our research progress without you, it’s not
something that can’t be compensated for. We can work a bit harder and spend more time And besides,
Gene has already found some traces of the mentor It everything goes well, we’ll determine their
location in a few days, and once we successfully capture the person, our progress will be even faster!”
Upon hearing this. Aletta’s spirits lifted. “You’ve found the whereabouts of mentor Albert?”
Lewis answered. “Yes, he’s in Germany Gene has already gone there with his team!”
Aletta immediately felt much more at ease. “Good, then I’ll listen to you and rest properly”
“That’s right ”
Jock and the others were satisfied.
They then continued with their busy work
At the same time, in the CEO’s Office of Hill Group in France.
Eaton hurriedly came in from outside to report, “Mr. Hill, Sam has found Albert’s whereabouts He is
indeed in Germany, but… it’s not easy to capture him. It is said that he’s hiding in one of Hunter
Group’s strongholds. The stronghold is vast in scale, with professional assassins and mercenaries
stationed there. It would take a major effort to capture him!”
Jason’s eyes chilled upon hearing this, “Then let’s move! It’s just a stronghold, assign more people and
bring him back alive as Aletta instructed!”
