Chapter 460 One Percent of Her Pain
Soon, it was evening.
Eaton was observant, understood that everyone was occupied, and voluntarily assisted by delivering dinner to
several individuals.
Jock gazed at Aletta, who appeared weak and almost powerless, and kindly inquired, “Would you like to have a bite?
Eating something will give you the strength to continue later.”
Aletta instinctively wanted to shake her head and refuse.
She had no appetite whatsoever and couldn’t eat anything at all.
However, the thought of Jason being by her side made her nod and say, “Alright.”
Even though she couldn’t eat, Aletta tried her best to have a few bites. She didn’t want the man beside her to worry
about her. Seeing her agreement, Jock promptly went to fetch the meal.
Meanwhile, Jason carefully supported Aletta, who was almost devoid of strength, placing a cushion behind her back
to make her more comfortable. Then, he took the food from Jock and fed Aletta.
Aletta was not being fussy.
She was in too much pain to exert any strength. She couldn’t even hold the chopsticks herself.
However, it was confirmed that she couldn’t eat a lot. Even with Jason personally feeding her, Aletta could only
drink a small bowl of soup and eat a few bites of rice.
“I can’t eat anymore,” Aletta shook her head, declining Jason’s offer to continue feeding her.
Aletta’s fragile appearance, resembling a delicate porcelain doll, made Jason uneasy. He thought of ways to divert
her attention.
“How about chatting with the kids?” he suggested, setting down the bowl and reaching for his phone.
After Jason mentioned their four children, Aletta’s face brightened momentarily, showing a hint of liveliness.
However, it quickly faded away, leaving her gaze dim.
Aletta hesitated for a moment, shaking her head. “Forget it. I definitely looked terrible right then. If the kids saw me
like that, they would worry.”
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtJason smiled at her reassuringly. “It’s okay. We’ll talk on the phone; they won’t see you through video.”
“Alright,” Aletta finally nodded.
Soon, Jason dialed the phone number, and the four children answered in no time, their young voices filled with
enthusiasm.
“Daddy, what’s up? Why did you call us?”
In a gentle tone, Jason replied, “Mommy wanted to talk to you.”
Upon hearing “Mommy,” the four children’s voices immediately brightened. “Oh? Why isn’t Mommy video-chatting
with us? We want to see Mommy…”
Aletta recognized that spoiled voice as Lyla’s.
Her lips curved into a smile as she said, “Mommy was busy and couldn’t hold the phone right then. Just listen to
your voices.”
The four children had no doubts. “Oh, that’s how it was. It was late, and Mommy was still working so hard!”
“Did Mommy eat well?”
“Remember to rest well, Mommy ~”
Aletta’s heart warmed, and she responded with a smile, engaging with each of them. During the gap in the
conversation between Aletta and the children, Jason took the opportunity to feed her some more food.
After she managed to eat about half a bowl of rice, Aletta raised her hand to stop him, shaking her head. “I really
can’t eat anymore.”
Observing her reaction, Jason didn’t insist any further.
They chatted with the children for over twenty minutes, and Aletta began to feel the familiar sensation of pain
returning.
Aletta maintained control of her tone as she addressed her loved ones, saying, “Mommy needed to go and work
now. Is it okay if we stop here for today?”
“Okay! Bye-bye, Mommy. Take care and don’t work too hard! Love you!”
“I love you too…” Aletta smiled in response.
After the call ended, Jason watched her closely and asked, “Feeling unwell again?”
Aletta nodded.
Upon hearing this, Lewis and the others immediately approached and told Jason, “Help Aletta lie down with
support.”
Jason nodded, cradled her in his arms, and carefully laid her back down.
As time passed, and the outside sky turned completely dark, a new wave of pain came rushing in…
The pain was even more intense this time, making it harder to endure.
Aletta bit her lips until they bled. Jason’s gaze darkened, and he reached out to free her bitten lip from his grip while
gently coaxing her, “Don’t bite. Open your mouth…”
In her dazed state, Aletta heard his voice and followed his instructions.
However, a sharp surge of pain overwhelmed her, and she couldn’t help but bite down again, this time on Jason’s
hand before he could retract it.
Jason’s brow furrowed briefly, but he didn’t pull his hand away.
If it could prevent Aletta from biting herself, it was worth it!
Moreover, the pain he felt was incomparable to what she was enduring.
Aletta was in so much pain that she lost all rationality. She had no idea she was biting Jason’s hand. As the pain
escalated, her grip grew more robust.
However, Jason didn’t even furrow his brow.
Jock and the others noticed and hurriedly found something to replace Jason’s hand, as Aletta’s bite was becoming
severe and his hand was nearly bleeding.
Fourtiers
Throughout the process, Jason observed, afraid Aletta might lose control and bite him. The entire ordeal lasted for
an unknown amount of time.
Jason didn’t dare to leave Aletta’s side even for a step. It was the first time he realized just how slowly time could
pass…
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmJock and the others had worry written all over their faces.
They witnessed Aletta’s suffering, and it pained them as well.
After all, they considered Aletta, so they shared her agony. But now, they could only rely on Aletta’s willpower to
endure. They couldn’t share her pain.
At midnight, Aletta completely lost strength and fell into a deep unconsciousness.
Upon seeing this, Jason’s heart sank, and he looked at Aletta, who appeared frail, and his expression became
panicked.
Lewis and the others quickly approached to examine Aletta’s condition.
“How is she?”
Jason calmly asked from the side.
Jock reassured him, “She just fainted. No life-threatening danger.”
Jason’s heart sank, but he raised his hand to stroke Aletta’s forehead, damp with sweat gently.
After a moment, he looked at Lewis and asked, “How many more times will she have to go through this process?”
After witnessing this one, he was already struggling to bear it.
Lewis sighed and informed him, “It’s hard to say for sure… If she was lucky, this could be the last time, but if she
was unlucky, she might have to endure it several more times.”
Lewis also worried that Aletta might not hold up in the future.
The painkillers applied to Aletta had a short duration, indicating the solid destructive nature of that damn X-1.
“She’s completely drained of energy now, and it will be very dangerous when the time comes…”
Jock and the others were also concerned and asked, “Will the President be able to help?”
Lewis shook his head, “I’m not sure. I’ll discuss it with the President.”
Jock couldn’t bear to see Aletta suffer like this and volunteered, “I’ll go with you.”
“I’ll come too,” added Gene.
Lewis nodded, accepting their offer.
Knowing they were all going, Kirk said, “I’ll stay and watch over Aletta.”
