Chapter 369 I’m Here, Don’t Be Afraid

The incident happened too suddenly, and Aletta had no time to react. She watched Jason rushing towards her. And the next second, his momentum brought them both crashing to the ground. Aletta’s mind went blank.

At the same time, something hit the nearby car. It was the sound of a silenced bullet hitting the vehicle! Eaton and the hidden. bodyguards quickly realized what was happening. They swiftly drew their guns and counterattacked in the direction of the bullet’s source–fast, accurate, and decisive.

The figure in black not far away seemed caught off guard and was hit in the shoulder. Seeing that Eaton and the others were about to pursue, the person had no choice but to give up and disappear into the chaos of the crowd.

“Chase the person! We can’t let the person escape!”

With the danger eliminated, Eaton made a decisive decision and ordered the bodyguards to give chase. He rushed towards Jason and Aletta, calling out, “Sir, Ms. Aletta, are you both okay?”

Aletta’s blank mind gradually cleared as she was called. She quickly asked Jason, who was still on top of her, “Jason, are you alright?”

Before the person on top of her could respond, Aletta suddenly felt that the spot she was touching was sticky. She blankly raised her hand, only to see it covered in blood.

Her heart skipped a beat, and she was stunned. Jason… had he been shot?

Aletta’s voice tensed up, “Jason, how are you? Where are you injured? You’re bleeding…”

“I’m fine, don’t be afraid,” Jason reassured her with slightly labored breath. He called out, “Eaton.”

Eaton immediately reacted and helped Jason up, his face filled with worry as he looked at him.

Aletta got up from the ground and hurriedly checked his arm. His clothes were torn, and indeed. He had been grazed by the bullet. Blood was seeping out…

The injury wasn’t severe, but Aletta’s breathing almost halted. If they had been a few seconds slower, the bullet might have pierced Jason’s heart. If Jason hadn’t reacted and she hadn’t noticed, the bullet would have gone through her body as well.

Thinking of this, Aletta broke out in a cold sweat right then and there. She felt chilled to the bone.

Seeing Aletta’s pale face, Jason reached out and held her. Comforting her, “It’s alright now, don’t be afraid.”
