Chapter 399 Farewell
The next morning, after breakfast, Aletta went to the airport to meet Lewis.
Walt was also accompanying them on this trip.
Aletta had promised to help him with his illness before, but given the current circumstances, she had to bring him
along.
At the airport, the four little ones were bidding their mommy a reluctant farewell.
Although Lyla already said goodbye the previous night, she still couldn’t bear to see mommy holding her luggage.
She held Aletta’s hand and said in a soft, tender voice, “Mommy, we will miss you. Take good care of yourself over
there!”
Lucas also chimed in. “Don’t skip meals.”
“Okay, mommy knows. I will take good care of myself, and I will miss you too! You have to listen to daddy
obediently!”
Aletta spoke and kissed each of them.
Otto and Nina tugged at her clothes and said, “Mommy, come back early after you finish your work!”
“Yes, I will.”
After bidding farewell to the children, Aletta looked at Jason.
She wanted to say something to him but saw that he had already taken a step forward and embraced her. “Take
care of yourself… and remember the promise you made last night.”
A slight smile curved Aletta’s lips as she nodded. “Don’t worry, I won’t forget!”
Jason tightened his embrace for a moment before letting go.
Aletta stepped back from his embrace and looked deeply at everyone, “Wait for me to come back home!”
After saying that, she pulled her suitcase and walked away while the others watched her leave.
She didn’t turn back once during the security check.
She didn’t want to look back. Otherwise, she might not be able to leave!
Once the plane took off, she hadn’t fully recovered from the emotions of parting.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtLewis sensed her mood and reassured her, “Adjust your emotions. This temporary separation is for a better reunion
in the future. Cheer up!”
Aletta nodded, feeling that Lewis was right.
This was only temporary!
At the airport, Jason returned home with the children after Aletta left.
On the way, he instructed Eaton, who was driving the car, “Contact our subordinates abroad and secretly ensure
her safety. If anything goes wrong, they are the ones to answer!”
Eaton understood Mr. Hill’s concerns and nodded, “Don’t worry, I’ve made the arrangements!”
Jason nodded in response.
After a journey of more than ten hours, Aletta and the others’ plane landed.
After leaving the airport, she went back to her residence with Lewis and Walt.
This place was the home where she lived with the children before returning to her country. It was a three-story villa
that was regularly cleaned by someone.
Once inside, she couldn’t hide her fatigue and said to Walt, “You can stay here for now Pick any room except the
master bedroom, whichever you want.”
Then she looked at Lewis and said, “Lewis, you can consider this place as your own home.”
Lewis nodded.
He wasn’t particularly concerned about where he stayed.
After all, there was no guarantee he could return to the room from his research.
Soon, the three of them freshened up a bit and headed straight to the research institute.
At this moment, inside the Research Lab, many people were busy.
The two figures leading them were Jock and Kirk!
Both of them were stunningly beautiful, as expected.
Jock had a hot figure, and even in her research lab coat, her face was exquisitely made up, exuding a striking
beauty
Beside her, Kirk had a gentle and soft facial feature, wearing a pair of black-framed glasses. She looked quiet and
scholarly, completely contrasting with her passion for studying toxins.
When Aletta saw them, her mood finally brightened a little.
She immediately called out, “Jock, Kirk!”
Then she rushed over to them, extending her arms to embrace the two.
Aletta rushed too suddenly, and Jock was bumped, immediately exclaiming, “Hey, hey, watch out…”
Her gaze was fixed on the container in her hand.
It contained the freshly separated liquid medicine!
Kirk steadied her, seeing the situation, then pushed up her glasses and smiled. “You’re here?”
Aletta nodded, hugging the two of them for a while before letting go.
The two of them also started appraising her. After Jock looked at her, she expressed satisfaction. “Not bad. you look
energetic! And how do you maintain your skin? It’s so tender…”
As she spoke, she pinched Aletta’s face and gently tugged at it.
Aletta pleaded pitifully, “Just normal skincare! Ouch! Jock, be gentle…”
Jock became jealous, “Damn it, I put so much effort into my skincare, but I can’t compare to you!”
Lewis watched their playful banter and then asked, “How is the progress on your end?”
As they talked about this, Jock suddenly became serious and said, “The progress is good.”
Lewis walked over to them and said. “Show me.”
Jock nodded and operated the computer, opening a page with a large set of data immediately appearing…
All of them were workaholics. Without much small talk, they entered work mode!
They were so busy that it went straight into the evening.
During dinner, when they finally took a rare break. Aletta casually took a photo of the food and sent it to Jason.
Within two seconds, he called and asked, “Didn’t you rest for a while first? You’re starting work so quickly?”
Upon hearing the man’s voice, Aletta’s exhaustion suddenly vanished. She responded, “I’m fine, not tired.”
Jason made a soft and gentle sound, “Go back and rest early tonight!”
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm“Okay.”
The two of them chatted sweetly on the phone for a while, and when they had finished eating, they hung up.
Seeing this, Jock leaned over with a gossipy face and asked, “You’re smiling with a lovestruck expression. Who were
you talking to?”
Aletta didn’t hide anything and replied with a smile, “My fiancé…”
Upon hearing this, Jock’s beautiful eyes lit up. “When did you find him? Why didn’t you tell us?”
Aletta smiled lightly, “It just happened recently. If there’s a chance, I’ll introduce you to him.”
“Okay!”
As they ate and talked, they eventually returned to work mode after finishing.
The consequence of being with a group of research maniacs was that Aletta spent three consecutive days without
leaving the research institute. They ate there, slept in the rest area when tired, and even
took showers there.
In the meantime, Aletta had to find time to treat Walt.
In the afternoon, right after she helped Walt remove a needle, she suddenly felt a dizzy spell and her mind became
disoriented. She staggered for a moment.
Walt was startled and quickly supported her, “Do you need to rest? You don’t look well. You haven’t slept much in
these three days, have you?”
This trip abroad allowed him to have a deeper understanding of Aletta.
She was undeniably a workaholic!
Her dedication to research was beyond comprehension!
It was even more terrifying than his own global tours!
Aletta barely stabilized herself and replied calmly, “I’m fine.”
Although she said so, she felt her heart was extremely uncomfortable.
Not only was she struggling to breathe, but there were also constant waves of piercing pain spreading through
her…
Aletta’s face turned extremely pale.
Seeing this. Walt immediately rushed to call Jock and the others.
