Chapter 406 He Cares About You So Much
Suddenly, Aletta fell silent, and Jason had no idea what she was thinking.
After a while, he took the initiative to bring up the topic. “That night, there were other forces involved,
including Alex’s people.”
Aletta didn’t hide anything after hearing this.
“Indeed. He had been helping with the investigation into Albert’s matter…And Gene has been involved
in this too.”
She thought that since they were all helping her, she should inform them in advance.
It would be best to avoid friendly fire if they happened to encounter each other.
Jason raised an eyebrow as he recalled the previous reports.
So, the other two forces on that night were Alex and Gene?
After chatting with Aletta for a while, Jason noticed her exhaustion. He said, “You should continue
resting. We can talk later.”
Aletta, who was already exhausted, didn’t refuse and obediently nodded. “Okay.”
After ending the video call, Eaton cautiously asked, “Mr. Hill, are we still going?”
Jason contemplated for a few seconds before replying, “Not for
now.”“Understood,” Eaton nodded.
Jason instructed further, “Tell Sam that if they encounter those two groups of forces again, they should
be cautious and avoid conflicts
Eaton was surprised. “Do you know who they are?”
Jason rubbed his temples. It’s Alex and Gene
They all knew Aletta, huh?
Eaton was stunned.
He felt that Aletta was truly remarkable to have so many powerful figures protecting her. She was truly
impressive!
After successfully comforting Jason, Aletta felt much more at
ease.
With her health improving, she returned to the research institute the next day.
Seeing her return so quickly and busy at work, Jock couldn’t help but worry “Aletta, are you sure that
you are okay? Don’t push yourself too hard if you’re feeling unwell.”
Gene also looked at her with concern, persuading her, “Aletta, don’t worry. We’re here, and things are
progressing quickly now.”
Aletta understood their concerns.
But she shook her head. “I’ll be fine. Even if I stay at home, I can’tChapter 406 He Cares About You So Much

sit still. Don’t worry, if I get tired, I’ll take a rest whenever needed.”
Seeing her determination, the others knew that further persuasion would be futile and reluctantly
agreed.
During lunchtime, when Aletta had a moment to spare, she fulfilled her promise and called Jason.
She told him everything that had happened, from what she had eaten for lunch to the current state of
her health.
Her words were carefully chosen to comfort him as much as possible.
Several minutes had passed by the time they ended the call.
After putting down her phone, Jock couldn’t help but come over and pinch Aletta’s face teasingly.
“Are you doing this on purpose? Being so lovey-dovey all the time! Show some care for us single folks
around here, okay?”
Aletta heard Jock’s playful remark and felt somewhat helpless. “It’s not like that. He just worries about
me. He bought a plane ticket and planned to rush over when I had a fever a few days ago.”
Jock’s smile faded slightly.
She asked Aletta, “So you’re not planning to tell him the truth? He cares about you so much, and
you’ve been keeping it a secret. Isn’t that a bit unfair?”

“I know, but it’s just that I can’t do it. Look at my situation. If, by any chance…”
If they failed to develop a cure, she would face death.
Aletta couldn’t even imagine how Jason would cope with that reality.
They had only just reunited, and now they had to face such a cruel fate.
The atmosphere in the room grew heavy, and everyone fell silent.
They found it difficult to drop judgment on the matter.
On the one hand, they believed that when two people were in love, they shouldn’t hide things from
each other.
However, if they put themselves in Aletta’s shoes, they would also be afraid that the other person
couldn’t handle the news if they were facing the possibility of death.
Breaking the sombre mood, Kirk spoke up. “All right, let’s not think about these things right now!
Everything is fine, as long as we develop the cure.”
Gene nodded in agreement and said, “Kirk is right. Let’s focus on developing the cure.”
“Yes,” Aletta nodded.
After lunch, the group returned to the research lab and resumed their busy work.With Gene here, their progress significantly increased.
Over the next two days, their research yielded promising results.

“We have almost identified all the components of the banned drug!”
When Jock said those words, there was an uncontrollable excitement on her face.
Even Kirk’s actions of packing up became slightly brisk.

“Now, there’s only one set of data left that we’re not quite sure about, which is the exact composition of
the drug. Once we figure it out, we can start developing the antidote!”
This was undoubtedly good news.
At that moment, they all felt hopeful, hoping to develop the antidote…
However, another day had passed, and the group suddenly began to feel uneasy.
They had analysed various drugs from different perspectives but couldn’t find a match.
Unless they asked and got an answer from Albert!
After confirming that there was no way to analyse the final ingredient, Lewis’s brow furrowed tightly,
and he remained tense all day.
He couldn’t help but urge Gene, “Don’t you have any news from your side?”Gene’s face was also heavy as he shook his head. “No, Albert escaped and we still haven’t completely
located him.”
Aletta stood by and her red lips were pursed into a thin line.
Chapter 406 He Cares About You So Much
She knew that there was no news from Alex’s side either, which
meant there were no results.
It had been over half a month since she left France.
In other words, she didn’t have much time left!
Another day passed, and Aletta’s condition worsened.
She began to lose her grip on things, unable to even hold cutleries. Everything slipped from her hand,
and her fingers had almost lost their strength.
In the research lab, she could only look and think, she couldn’t work physically.
Even when video-calling Jason, it was either Gene or Walt who helped her to set up the phone.
She was worried about how long she could hide her current condition from Jason.
Jason, of course, had noticed some clues.
He felt that Aletta had become increasingly thin recently.
Although she explained many times that it was because of the beauty filter, he couldn’t help but feel
restless.That day, even the children noticed that something was wrong during their video call with Aletta.
“Mommy, have you not been eating on time recently? You’ve become so thin!”
Upon hearing this, Aletta pretended to be calm. “Really? Have I become thin?”

“Yes,” Jason replied with a deep gaze.

Aletta vaguely responded, “Probably because I got sick before, and on top of that, the workload of the
research has been too heavy recently, so I’m exhausted. I’ll rest properly when I return, and you can
take care of me then.”
