Chapar 40 No One Can Bully My Mom
Lucas and Lyla’s little faces almost scrunched up when they heard this. “Of course not!”
That evil woman wanted to take their mother’s place and ruined her marriage. It was simply unforgiveable.
Lyla thought about it and finally decided to join matchmaking bandwagon. “I agree to give Dad a chance!”
Otto and Nina were instantly happy and looked at Lucas with eyes full of expectation.
Lucas looked at the two’s eager eyes and could not bear to refuse. It took him some time before he reluctantly said, “If that’s the
case... then I’ll give him a chance too.”
While the four little kids were secretly devising their plan, Jason in the ward, swore he could feel a chill down his back. The man
looked up at the air conditioner, but the temperature was not set that low. However, he still adjusted it up by two degrees so that
Aletta, who was still unconscious, would not be too cold.
Eaton happened to return to the ward at this time. When Jason saw him, he asked lightly, “What have you found?”
Eaton nodded and reported in a low voice, “The people Ms. Rogers met in the past few days checked out. Two days ago, Ms.
Rogers went to ZL Company to see Ms. Blake, and the two talked for a while. I don’t know specifically what they were talking.
But from the surveillance nearby, it seems that the two had some arguments.”
Jason’s thick eyebrows were knitted, and then he asked, “What else?”
“There’s also....” Eaton paused for a moment, and his tone a little hesitant.
Jason’s icy gaze swept at him, and the man said with an undeniable commanding tone, “Say what you have. Don’t hesitate.”
Eaton nodded and hurriedly said, “There’s also the fact that Ms. Bates went to see Ms. Rogers. This is the surveillance video of
the coffee shop.”
With that said, Eaton handed his phone over. Jason raised his hand to take it and clicked on the video.
The video sound was a bit garbled, and it was hard to make out what the two were talking. However, from the picture, one could
see that Aletta was neither humble nor overbearing, despite Jenny’s cold and arrogant attitude.
Jason’s eyes were slightly squinted. For some reason, he could not look away. About ten minutes later, when the video ended,
he returned to his senses and shifted his eyes to Aletta’s face on the hospital bed.
The woman was still pale and weak at this moment, a contrast to her lively usual self. It was like seeing two different people.
His heart ached a little, and he finally understood what Aletta meant. It could be that, when Bonnie and Jenny approached her,
they did not say anything good.
With that in mind, Jason’s expression suddenly became very sullen. Eaton noticed the change in his boss’s mood as soon as he
gave the report and could not help trembling. He slowly inched back to keep a safe distance.
However, at the same time, he wondered. Why was his boss angry? Was it because Ms. Rogers contradicted Ms. Bates, or was
it because Ms. Bates went after Ms. Rogers? He speculated for quite some time, but he could not figure it out.
It was at this time that Aletta, who had been unconscious for more than an hour, finally woke up. The moment she opened her
eyes, her eyes met Jason’s deep black eyes.
Both of them were equally surprised. Aletta’s head was empty, and she could not readily react.
Jason collected his composure, walked his long legs to the bedside, and asked softly, “Are you awake? How do you feel?”
Aletta stared at him for a time before her senses gradually returned. She remembered that she had fainted in the restaurant, and
hurriedly supported herself to get up.
“I am fine,” she responded c***lly, but the words coming out were barely audible.
Jason frowned, raised his hand, and gently pressed her down, “If you don’t feel well, lie down. Don’t try to look strong.”
Aletta frowned, wanting to retort. However, the throbbing pain in her head made her unable to say a word.
She closed her eyes, and her heart sank. How could she be so unlucky lately? In just a few days, this man always caught her in
a mess.
The woman cursed herself for being useless and opened her eyes again. Her expression returned to the usual calm and cold.
“Thank you, Mr. Hill, for sending me to the hospital. I’m fine now. You can leave me. I’ll have my friend come over later, so I won’t
take up your time.”
Jason was quite worried earlier, but the first words he heard when that woman opened her mouth was telling him to leave. Sure
enough, his expression went a little sour. He was actually hoping that when she woke up, she would speak in a better manner.
As soon as his hope was dashed, he returned fire and said in an extremely indifferent tone, “I never wanted to stay anyway. I just
want to make sure you’re still alive. After all, I’m the last person contacting you. If something happened to you, I’ll have to explain
myself. It’s very troublesome.”
Aletta frowned when she heard that. Every word coming out from that man’s mouth was venomous. He made it sound like she
was dying.
She pursed her lips and replied, “Then you have nothing to worry. I’m perfectly fine. I still have decades to live.”
“Why don’t you look at yourself in the mirror before you said that? Even people who have been dead for a few days. are not as
pale as you.”
Jason’s tone was far for warm. The man then dragged the chair next to him, sat down, and said coldly, “If you have the strength
to argue with me, why you don’t just shut up and rest. Don’t worry, I’ll leave when I’m sure you’re okay.”
Aletta saw that he had already made his decision, and it was pointless to argue. She did not know how to feel about it. If it was a
few years back, she would probably be crazy with joy.
Now, there was not even a hint of excitement in her heart. Instead, she had mixed feelings. She tried very hard to look strong,
but every time she fell short, he was there to see her. Last time it was a stomachache, this time it was a me ntal breakdown.
The wall she built with great difficulty in the past six years had been stripped to nothing! Aletta did not want Jason to look down
on her, so she again braced herself and got up from the bed.
“What are you doing?” Jason frowned, watching her action.
Aletta said as calmly as possible, “I want to get out of the hospital.”
Jason frowned and said unhappily, “Aletta, you have to take care your body more seriously!”
“Don’t worry about it. It’s just that it’s late and someone’s waiting for me at home.”
If she went home late without notifying her little ones, they would be worried. With that in mind, Aletta lifted the blanket and got
off the bed. Her legs were still a little weak. However, she tried her best not to let Jason see it.
The crease on Jason’s forehead went deeper when he saw how determined she was. He was also very puzzled. What did she
mean by someone at home?
To his knowledge, Aletta had cut off contact with the Rogers family, including her foster parents who raised her as a child. Why
would she say that there was someone waiting for her at home?
Jason subconsciously glanced at Eaton next to him. Eaton just finished investigating her today, so he might have some clues.
Unexpectedly, Eaton shook his head. He did not know that Aletta was living with someone else, unless, it was a boyfriend!
Jason seemed to have thought of this too. His face sank, and he asked coldly, “Who is this someone you’re talking about?”
