Chapter 394 Defenseless Coquetry
Lewis nodded.
Previously, he had doubted it, but now he had to admit that Albert was the mastermind behind this whole situation.
His appearance in Germany was not accidental.
Accelerating the reaction of the substances inside Aletta's body was his true purpose!
Seeing Aletta's troubled expression, Lewis remained calm and patted her shoulder.
"Aletta, time is of the essence now. I have a suggestion, would you like to hear it?"
"Go ahead," Aletta snapped out of her thoughts and looked at him. attentively.
Lewis nodded, providing a solution to the problem, "We need to pursue a dual strategy for this matter. One is to gather the remaining team members and form separate research teams to expedite the development of the cure and increase efficiency. The other is to have Gene find out the whereabouts of mentor Albert. He is the one who targeted you, and he definitely holds the formula. Obtaining it from him would be the fastest way. Moreover, if he happens to have the cure, we won't have to go through all the trouble!"
Aletta had no objections upon hearing this, "I'll follow your lead!"
"Alright, I'll inform the others about the situation right now."
As he spoke, Lewis took out his phone and sent messages to the others.
In the group chat, upon hearing that Aletta's condition was deteriorating, Jock replied, "I'll fly to Yargsbourgh immediately and gather the team to accelerate the research."
Kirk added, "If possible, I think we shouldn't be too scattered. It's better to concentrate in one place so that when we develop the results, we can administer the antidote to Aletta promptly."
Gene suggested, "We can gather in Yargsbourgh. Aletta has a research institute there, and it's also closer to the World Medical League. It will be convenient for our operations."
After reading the messages. Aletta immediately responded, "If you don't find it troublesome, I can make arrangements on my end."
Jock replied, "There's no trouble at all. Your life is more important. But I never thought mentor Albert would be the culprit. He looks. decent but secretly engages in such beastly acts!"
Kirk commented, "You never really know a person's true nature! All we can say is that he hid it too well, even from us." Gene reassured, "Aletta, don't be afraid. I'll use my father's influence to find people for you! Once we capture him, we'll make him suffer and get justice for you. Anyone who dares to bully you is truly asking for trouble!!!"
Seeing this scene, Aletta's cold heart regained a hint of warmth.
"Thank you all!"
After observing for a while, Lewis finally spoke, "Alright, enough with the useless talk. Let's all get moving. Time is precious to us now, every minute counts."
Each person in the group sent an "OK" emoji before disappearing.
After settling this matter, Aletta regained her spirit and began analyzing the formula and data of the drugs alongside Lewis.
They were so busy that it was already 10 o'clock in the evening.
Jason had a social engagement tonight, but after it ended. he decided to come to the research institute to pick up Aletta.
However, when Aletta saw him, she had no intention of going back.
"I might have to stay up late tonight. You can go back first." she said.
Jason frowned upon hearing her words. "Is what you're researching that important?”
"Yes, it's very important." Aletta answered without hesitation.
However, Lewis, who was standing beside them, spoke up. "It's not that important You can go back and rest!"
Aletta was taken aback and subconsciously glanced at Lewis
There was a meaningful look in Lewis's eyes as he said. "Maintaining a good mental state is crucial for conducting research Staying up late will only lower your efficiency."
Aletta thought to herself. "What right does a person who frequently stays up late have to say such things!"
However, Lewis didn't allow any room for objection and said, "Go back and listen to me!"
Aletta was stunned, finally realizing what he meant.
Could it be... that staying up late would also accelerate the effects of the drugs?
But she couldn't ask this question for the time being. Helpless, she could only agree and go back with Jason first.
"I'll change my clothes first. Wait for me," she said to the man by her side as she turned around.
Jason didn't notice anything unusual and nodded, responding gently, "Okay."
Aletta quickly went to the dressing room.
Just as she entered, she received a message from Lewis. "Your immune system is weakening, and you shouldn't overexert yourself. Adequate rest is necessary! Otherwise, you won't be able to hold on."
Aletta was about to reply when another message came in from him.
"There's one more thing! Your condition will definitely worsen in the near future. Have you figured out how to handle it with your family? I'm going to Yargsbourgh to meet them, and I suggest you come with me! This way, we can monitor your condition closely. With our abilities, even if we don't manage to develop a cure in the end, we'll find a way to buy you more time. However, this process will be painful and agonizing for you!"
Upon reading these words, Aletta froze inside the changing room.
She had never imagined that things would turn out so dire.
However, she couldn't escape from the problem at hand.
Should she tell her family the whole truth?
Should she reveal that her health was deteriorating and that she might even... die?
She couldn't fathom how her grandparents and four children would react upon hearing this news.
And what about Jason?
They had only recently reconciled, and now she would have to confront him with such a situation.
Aletta suddenly regretted agreeing to be with him so quickly.
If they weren't together, he wouldn't have to bear all of this!
With these thoughts, tears welled up in Aletta's eyes.
The internal struggle and pain were tearing at her heart...
At that moment, someone knocked on the door of the changing room.
Jason's deep voice softly entered, "Aletta, are you okay? Why are you taking so long to change?"
Hearing his tone. Aletta's nasal congestion intensified.
She forced back her tears and suppressed all her emotions before speaking. "I'll be ready in a moment."
Quickly, she changed her clothes and walked out of the room.
Jason was waiting for her outside the door.
As soon as he saw her, he noticed her slightly reddened eyes.
His voice became heavy as he asked, "What's wrong with your eyes? Have you been crying?"
Aletta didn't expect him to be so observant and quickly smiled, "How is that possible? I was just feeling a bit sleepy in there and yawned a few times, and tears came out."
"Really?"
Jason furrowed his brows, not believing her.
He reached out and held her chin, examining her closely.
Aletta blinked her eyes, not struggling, allowing him to look at her. "Of course, it's true!" she said.
But Jason still felt that something was off.
Aletta was afraid he would see through her, so she reached out and hooked her hand around his neck, kissing his lips lightly.
With a hint of coquetry in her tone, she said. "I'm so tired. The research data
consumed so many brain cells. Can we go back? Tonight, come back with you to Hill Villa!"
Her soft tone. falling into his ears, was like a direct stab to his heart.
Jason couldn't resist.
His gaze deepened as he held her waist and replied. "Alright, I'll take you back! But Aletta, don't forget what you promised me before! No matter what happens, you can't keep anything from me!
