Ch. 2191..2200
Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2191-"Neither has Jasper proposed to you nor have you both had your wedding.
It didn't happen three years ago and still hasn't happened.
He didn't even put a decent-enough diamond ring on you.
"Everything is just as it is.
Doesn't he feel ashamed to call himself your husband? How ridiculous."
Jameson gently lifted Alyssa's hand, lowered his gaze, and kissed its back before slipping a brilliant pear-shaped pink diamond onto her finger.
Alyssa wished she could tear it off and throw it into the sea.
But she couldn't move.
Jameson handled her as he pleased.
"Jasper is weak, always second-guessing.
He had you, but he was afraid of everything.
He doesn't deserve you." He pressed the hand wearing the ring against his chest, his eyes burning with passion.
"I'll give you everything he couldn't.
We'll have a romantic island wedding here on Rose Island.
The creatures and the birds will be our witnesses.
"T have a huge field of roses here.
I will pick the freshest and most beautiful at dawn for you.
Aren't these part of the life that you longed for?" "T do long for these…
But only if it's with Jasper." Alyssa stared at Jameson fiercely.
She clarified, "With you, all these are meaningless! "Jameson, so what if you scheme and go to any lengths to do all these? Your heart is just a barren land where nothing grows.
It's where roses will never grow.
Never ever!" The smile froze on Jameson's face.
Accompanied by his usually- paled face, he looked especially frigid, sinister, and sly at this very moment.
That said, he regained his composure soon enough.
He placed a hand behind her neck and lowered his eyes, ready to taste the lips he'd longed for.
"Mrs.
Schmidt…
Where is she?" Fearing that Jameson would have his dream realized, Alyssa blurted a question.
Jameson's chest tightened.
He froze.
Alyssa sensed the sorrow surging in those dark eyes behind his gold-framed glasses.
Immediately, she realized, so she pressed on anxiously, "What in the world happened to Mrs.
Schmidt?" Feeling like his heart was being pierced by blades, Jameson's words filled with pain.
'My mother has passed away." Alyssa's head started buzzing.
“When did that happen?" "That day, after getting on the helicopter, she passed away on the way to Rose Island." The warmth dissipated from Jameson's palms, perhaps out of guilt.
At this moment, he dared not look into Alyssa's sharp, bright eyes.
However, Lyse was a sharp-witted and attentive person.
Being in such close proximity, Alyssa took notice of all the ok . com microexpressions on his face.
Suddenly, it clicked.
Her chest rose and fell as she glared at Jameson.
"That's not right! Mrs.
Schmidt didn't have an episode because she became too agitated from what I said.
It was you…
You did something in secret!" Jameson pretended to be surprised.
"How could it be me, Lyse? You know the condition my mother was in.
Her body was already on the brink of breaking down.
The doctor had said that she might not live til] next year.
At a time like this, of course I'd have to spend the rest other time together with her .
How could I hurt her? She was my mother, my only family member." I'm an instant Alyssa could make the connections between those minute details.
"If so, you should've flown to the hospital and done your best to save her.
But, as you said earlier, you flew straight to Rose Island after picking your mother up.
This shows that you've never even thought of saving her in the first place!"
Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2192-Acold glint flickered in Jameson's eyes, masking the savage fury unleashed by the pain and desperation as his wound was torn open.
"Lyse…
1 know you despise me, but you can't slander me like this…" "I slandered you?
Jameson, you've really gone off the deep end.
You dared to do such a thing but don't have the guts to admit to it? wt Alyssa stared straight at his pale and gloomy face.
There wasn't any fear within her, only a heart-wrenching resentment.
"Mrs. Schmidt looked like she was having an episode because of what I said, but I already felt something was off when she was seizing and foaming at the mouth.
"In the past, you've said that your mother's heart was weak.
But when I checked on her eyes and pulse at the time, she wasn't presenting with symptoms of a heart attack, let alone a seizure.
"Subsequently, red spots started to form on her skin.
Pairing all that with the way you're reacting right now, I have reason to believe that you injected Mrs.
Schmidt with some poisonous substance beforehand.
She was poisoned to death!" Jameson's hand on her waist started to tense up.
The veins on his hands popped, and a menacing gleam presented itself in his eyes.
"Jameson…
hasn't it been enough that you've hurt and killed so many? You even used and murdered your own mother? How could you do that…" "Lyse, do you know that your smarts are both your strength and weakness?" Jameson smiled despite having reddened eyes, making his face look even more twisted and despondent than if he were to cry.
"How could I have done that? Others may not understand me, but you do, don't you?" Jameson grabbed Alyssa by the chin, squeezing her so hard that it seemed like he wanted to crush her bones.
"It was all because of you…
All because of you!" Jameson's voice, ragged and raw, erupted from him, a mutilated sound filled with anguish.
To outsiders, he was inhumane and evil.
But to Alyssa, he had never raised his voice—not once in all the years they'd known each other.
Yet now, love and hate, despair and rage, melded into a twisted knot inside him.
Suppressed for too long, it festered, rotted, devoured him like maggots feasting on decayed flesh.
He had become a breeding ground for sin, and when he finally wanted to turn back, it was already too late.
He was a monster—his humanity lost.
He had lost all control, and it was too late for any regrets.
"My mother…
Even if I hadn't done it, she didn't have long to live.
She would've suffered horribly.
I just helped her avoid that pain." His burning gaze softened, and Jameson leaned close to Alyssa's ear, brushing his trembling lips against her skin.
"Would you have gotten into the helicopter so willingly if I hadn't? It would've been harder to bring you here.
I only had one shot; I couldn't fail.
"So, [had my mother help me.
Although she's gone, I think…
Even if she knew about my motives, she would definitely, without a doubt, forgive me for the things I did to her because she loved me, her only son." Agony surged within.
Even though Alyssa wasn't expressing her sadness on her face, tears streamed down her cheeks.
"What exactly in the world…
made you like this? You weren't like this 15 years ago…" "The Jimmy from 15. years ago has died a long time ago. With a twisted smile on his face, Jameson wrapped his arms tightly around Alyssa.
Without him even realizing it, his face was also covered in tears.
"But the Jimmy who loves you will never die." The news about Jameson abductirig Alyssa was hidden successfully from her relatives in Cyrris.
Even so, they didn't manage to hide it from Axel.
Along with Amber, Axel rushed to get to the presidential office from the hospital overnight.
Amber didn't dare to say a word along the way.
She simply held Axel gently in her arms as she soothed his trembling back patiently to comfort him.
Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2193-Even though Axel barely showed any emotion on his face, Amber knew he was on the verge of breaking down.
One word from her—a futile attempt at comfort—and his carefully held emotions would explode.
"Jonah…
Jasper…" The moment Axel laid eyes on his family, his body trembled.
His strong, unyielding facade crumbled as tears finally broke free.
"Don't cry, Axel." Jonah went up and embraced Axel.
He patted his back lightly.
" Crying wouldn't solve any of our problems.
The most important thing now is to rescue Lyse." "It was all my fault…
It was all my fucking fault!" Axel gave himself a hard slap.
"I was the one who neglected Lyse…
1 was the one who lost her.
I deserve to die." "Axel, it had nothing to do with you." Jasper walked over slowly, his footsteps heavy, eyes bloodshot and sunken.
"I'm the one to blame.
"I'm Lyse's partner, and I've sworn to all of you that I'd protect her …
Yet, I've messed everything up.
I'm sorry." He had messed it all up.
He'd spoken similar ones before—after Alyssa lost their child—but now, the pain was unbearable, tearing him apart from the inside.
"Lyse?" Miley cried out when she saw Amber, who looked very much like Alyssa.
She ran up to her and held her in a tight embrace.
"Miley, this isn't Lyse.
She's Axel's girlfriend." Jeremy studied Amber's face in shock.
He was also caught in a daze momentarily.
Even so, he put his arm over Miley's shoulders and comforted her in a gentle voice, "We can handle it here.
You're exhausted.
Why don't you go upstairs for a nap?" Seeing that Miley was refusing adamantly, Amber spoke up softly.
" Miley…" Upon hearing that voice, Miley covered her mouth and burst out crying.
"How about if I accompanied you to go upstairs and take a rest?" Amber negotiated with her while imitating Alyssa.
To her surprise, it actually worked.
Because of her appearance, Miley, who was in a muddled state, heeded Amber's suggestion.
With Amber holding onto her, they made their way upstairs slowly.
The atmosphere in the living room was heavy and silent.
As Axel watched Amber from behind, tears welled up in his eyes, and his heart was pained.
The thing Amber hated the most in her life was being Alyssa's substitute.
This was a humiliation that Jameson had engraved deep within her.
Yet now, she had no choice but to be Alyssa to comfort Miley, who was on the brink of collapsing.
"Axel, we've looked into the helicopter that took Lyse away, and found that it flew toward the coastal area in the south." Cyrus waited until everyone's emotions had settled down a little before speaking up in a low voice.
"If I were Jameson, I would surely take Lyse away from land.
I wouldn't live in the woods either, as it would be difficult to escape, and e resources would be limited.
"That said, even if the helicopter flew toward the south, it doesn't eliminate the possibility that they'd change directions along the way.
But whatever it is, it's still a lead.
We can start by looking into all of Kontina's islands."
Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2194-"Let's look into them, then.
We'll find her.
We'll search the islands one by one!" Axel wiped his tears away.
His eyes had become bloodshot.
"Let me inform Liam to deploy more manpower to Kontina as soon as possible."
"T've informed Liam, even though I really didn't want to." Jonah had an extremely bitter smile on his face as he took a deep breath.
"Now, as we try to keep our family stable, we must also mobilize all the resources we have to track Lyse down.
Liam is already rushing to Kontina.
I'm sure he has the authority to mobilize some manpower." Jasper looked at Jonah with a firm and fiery gaze.
In a concerned voice, he remarked, "With Liam's high status and power, I'm afraid that he'd be criticized for acting on his own accord.
I don't want it to affect his future." "Future, status, and all that don't mean anything!" Axel couldn't bear the agony in his heart.
With tears in his eyes, he exclaimed, "Nothing is more important than Lyse.
"We'll set out tomorrow…
No, let's set out shortly!" "Calm down, Axel," Cyrus said, gripping Axel's arm.
Though he knew Axel's impulsive nature, this was extreme.
"Look at the sky.
It's already dark.
Searching now would be even harder, maybe pointless.
Amber's still around too.
She's weak, and she's been through so much just to be with you.
If you go, at least spend the night with her." At the mention of Amber, Axel fell silent, his regret clear.
"We'll split up tomorrow morning and search the southern coasts and islands."
The muscles in Jasper's jaw tensed up.
He looked at Jeremy.
" Jeremy, please mobilize all your resources to track Lyse down in the other areas.
It'd be best if you could monitor Kontina's airspace for any suspicious crafts.
This is extremely important." "Lyse only walked into Jameson's trap of her own volition for my safety." Jeremy welled up with tears of devastation, and remorse filled his lungs.
"Don't worry, Jasper.
I will ensure Lyse returns to your side, even if it means I'd have to risk everything." In the wee hours of the morning, the air in the presidential office was serious, solemn, and quiet.
With much effort, Amber finally managed to comfort Miley.
After giving her some sleeping pills at the advice of the private physician, Miley finally drifted off to sleep after crying her eyes out.
Amber returned to her room, buried her head under the covers, and sobbed quietly.
Seeing Axel wallowing in self-reproach, she fully empathized with his emotions.
While Jameson took Alyssa away, she and Carl, both of whom deserved to die because of their sins, were merely distractions that Jameson had placed at the church.
He used them as bait to draw the attention of the authorities so that he could execute his actual plan.
She was the one who should be shouldering the responsibility.
Amber Altman was just a cheap imitation of Alyssa.
To save her, the precious Alyssa had gone missing.
Amber shut her eyes tight and wept silently under the covers.
After crying for some time, she felt a corner of the blanket being lifted.
A strong, masculine scent drew near her, and she found her entire body sinking into a warm embrace.
Amber's trembling back was pressed right up against his muscular chest.
She was in Axel's arms.
She could hear his deep breathing and feel the strength of his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him.
He held onto her so tightly.
It felt almost as if her back could snap.
He was suppressing the anguish within him, and so was she.
Amber knew how much he needed to be comforted at this moment.
Yet, she didn't even dare to turn around and face him.
It was Axel who finally turned her around, locking his arms around her tightly.
Her white pajamas starkly contrasted with his black shirt and trousers, an alluring sight.
If it weren't for Alyssa's disappearance, Axel wouldn't have been able to suppress his burning desire on a night such as this one.
He would've made Amber, the woman he dreamed of day and night, wholly his.
Nevertheless, he had no such intention right now.
His mind was occupied, thinking of ways to find Alyssa.
His emotions were ina frenzy.
His thoughts were muddled.
Everything was in a mess.
Even so, he forced himself to keep his spirits up.
"Why are you crying, hmm?" Axel asked as he kissed the tears off Amber's cheeks.
"I'm sorry…" Amber muttered as she buried her face in his chest.
"Don't say that.
It's not your fault, my love," Axel comforted her gently.
He put his palm on her neck and gently massaged her.
"It was us brothers who were too careless.
It was our fault." Amber said, "If it wasn't…
because of me…" "It had nothing to do with you.
Don't think such thoughts anymore," Axel insisted, his tone firm.
His greatest fear was Amber blaming herself, letting guilt consume her until it led to something even he couldn't control.
He loved both Alyssa and Amber.
He loved them differently, but his love for them was equally fervent and irreplaceable.
They held each other in silence, sharing a deep kiss in the quiet of the night.
"Axel," Amber whispered, resting her head on his arm her fingers tracing the lines of his f his face.
"Yes?" Axel answered in a raspy voice, which was both gentle and sexy at the same time.
"After Ms.
Alyssa comes back safely, there's something that I'd like to do." Although Axel wanted to tell he that she could do whatever she wanted, he still asked out of curiosity, "What is it?" "T' like to get plastic surgery done." Amber's eyes shimmered with unshed tears as she closed them.
"I'd like to get my old face back.
I want to be me again…" Axel's chest tightened.
He couldn't help but tear up as he tightened his hold around her.
"Sure.
I'll be with you, every step of the way as you find yourself again."
Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2195-Alyssa's cell phone was long gone.
There was no television or computer in the room either.
She had no idea how many days had passed since arriving on this island.
Having been injected with a high dose of tranquilizer, although she was awake, she was almost paralyzed from the neck down.
In this state, she was like a hopeless yet appealing live mannequin.
The silence in the luxurious and chilly room was suffocating.
Even the wind and waves couldn't be heard.
Clearly, this room was quite some distance away from the sea.
It was a gilded cage that Jameson had crafted for her.
Alyssa's limp body lay on the light yellow bedding.
She was no longer wearing the outfit she had on when she came.
Instead, she was forced to change into a thin, red-colored lace nightgown.
Like a delicate rose, she seemed to wither, inch by inch, losing all signs of life.
A female helper on the island had dressed her in that nightgown.
Despite Jameson's cruelty toward everyone else, he had never forced himself on Alyssa.
He truly loved her to the core.
At the same time, he truly couldn't bear to see her cry.
Alyssa looked out the window, lying completely still.
The deep orange skies of dusk dimmed gradually as the sun set.
The beautiful colors eventually disappeared entirely and were replaced by a heart-wrenching darkness.
Her swollen eyes glistened with unshed tears.
She bit down hard, willing them back.
After a while, a knock came at the door, followed by familiar footsteps.
"Lyse, it's time to eat." Jameson entered, carrying a tray to the side of the bed.
His voice was unusually gentle.
"I made your favorites," he said.
Alyssa turned her pale face away.
Even though she was paralyzed, every nerve in her body was filled with hate and resistance against Jameson.
He stood over her.
The smooth silk fabric highlighted Alyssa's graceful figure.
Her dark hair was spread out on the pillow, contrasting her frail and pallid face.
Yet, this sight made him feel all the more to possess her.
"You haven't eaten or drank anything since you got here.
Your body won't be able to take it if you go on like this." Jameson placed the tray down on the bedside table.
He turned to his side and sat down next to her.
With his chilly hands, he held her ankles.
Inch by inch, his trembling hands traveled upward.
The hoarseness of his voice revealed his level of restraint.
"There's no use being mad at me.
Why would you torment yourself like that? "Since you've never considered ending your life, and you're constantly thinking about escaping me, all the more you should be eating your meals well and making sure you're in good health.
Don't you think so?" "Hah…" Alyssa's eyes were bloodshot.
Her chapped lips curled into a smirk of disgust.
"I'm no different from a dead person.
I can't move at all.
Is there a difference between eating and not eating?" "Lyse, you're being sneaky again." Jameson smiled, his eyes overflowing with tenderness.
"We grew up together.
No one knows you better than I do.
You're trying to use reverse psychology on me so that I will stop using any tranquilizers on you.
Then, you'll find a chance to fight back and escape from me.
"If possible, I really wouldn't want to drug you, Lyse.
But you're too intelligent.
You will think of a way to escape if I'm slightly distracted.
I put everything on the table to get you.
No matter what, I am not going to lose you.
Never." Jameson's breathing was heavy.
As his warm hand reached beneath her gown, he could feel her trembling in fear.
He was stunned.
As much as he yearned to have her, he clenched his teeth and retracted his hand.
"In my eyes, everything that you do is trash." Alyssa's nostrils flared in rage.
She continued without even looking at him, "I won't be going anywhere.
Fuck off.
I don't want to see you." Right after Alyssa said that, she suddenly felt the world spun before her eyes.
Jameson scooped her limp body up by the waist, and she found herself in his arms once again.
She was being confined in a firm hold, with her body pressed right up against his.
"Have some chowder, will you?" With a smile on his face, Jameson om Iowere his eyes, pressed his forehead against her forehead, and touched his nose against her nose.
If he disregarded the burning hatred within Alyssa's eyes, they were just like a pair of intimate lovers.
"It's fish chowder, made from fish I caught from the sea this morning.
The fish was slaughtered live, so it's really fresh.
"Do you remember the time when you took me fishing by the lake at Heights new Villa when we were kids? You looked so adorable when you went into the water in your red rain boots to catch fish.
From that time on, you have been impressed on my heart…
I will never forget it." Such loving words, but all they did was make Alyssa's stomach church.
Jameson's heart broke for her as he brushed his fingers against her cracked lips.
"You must be parched.
Here, have some water first." He picked up the glass and Rut the rim against her lip's, lips, tilting tilting some water into her mouth.
Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2196-Jameson failed to get even a drop of water into Alyssa's mouth.
The water flowed from the glass and downward along Alyssa's chin to her neck.
"You're being really bad, Lyse.
But this is who you are." Jameson narrowed his eyes a little.
He filled his mouth with water, then grabbed her chin to force her mouth open.
"Mmph!" Suddenly, he pressed his lips onto hers, releasing the warm water, little by little, into her mouth.
Yet, this was not enough.
He lingered, refusing to pull away as he carefully tasted this sweetness.
At the same time, the look in his eyes gradually became dazed as his eyes filled with gratification.
Alyssa's eyes, on the other hand, turned red with anger.
She clenched her fists tight and couldn't stop shaking in his arms.
She wanted to bite down on his misbehaving tongue, but as if anticipating her move, he pinched her jaw, preventing her from closing her mouth.
She was powerless against him.
Jameson heaved, finally pulling away from her lips reluctantly.
In the next instant, Alyssa spat the water out, spraying every drop onto his face.
"Lyse." Jameson's face was wet, dripping with water.
The look on his face finally fell.
"You must be fuming.
You're going nuts, aren't you? Kill me, then.
Kill me if you can!" Alyssa roared.
Tears filled her reddened eyes.
Jameson's gaze deepened.
He slowly wiped the water from his chin.
"Lyse, you know I'll never let that happen.
But if you wish, you can spend the rest of your life in torment." "Jameson…
You've actually gotten it wrong." Alyssa laughed bitterly.
The sharp gaze in her eyes was like a sharpened blade.
" I've never thought of running away.
What I was thinking about was how I can kill you." "In that case, all the more you should be eating well and resting up.
Otherwise, how will you be able to make your wish come true?" Jameson curled the corners of his lips upward again and took the bowl of chowder over.
"Eat, then come and kill me after.
But if you fail to kill me, all you can do is to marry me." "What are you talking about…" Alyssa was flabbergasted.
She felt a sharp pain in her heart.
"T have been preparing for our wedding in the past few days.
The setup is almost done." Jameson gave her a gentle peck on the corner of her lips again.
His eyes filled with pleasure.
"Soon, we will be husband and wife, and I won't touch you until then.
I hope to make it a special occasion for you.
I want our first night to be our wedding night…" Terrified and furious at the same time, Alyssa's heart wrenched, and her body quivered all over.
'Who says that I will marry a murderous devil like you? If that's the case, I will surely choose to die.
I'll give you my word!" Jameson beamed.
He bragged, "In the Old Testament, God killed more people than the devil did.
So, I believe that my actions aren't exactly unforgivable.
God will forgive me, and after all those people I killed go to heaven, so will they."In the end, Alyssa didn't have anything to eat.
She simply had a few mouthfuls of water, enduring until the middle of the night with much difficulty.
Extreme hunger drained all the energy from within her.
Her head was spinning, and the hopeless feeling that death was near started to grow.
Despite the physical agony, the prospect of marrying Jameson eclipsed her current suffering.
With her body curled up, she felt as if her soul was floating in the air.
Her senses were fuzzy.
While she was in a state of confusion, she heard Jameson talking on the phone with someone.
Her eyelashes fluttered, and she forced herself to open her eyes.
Jameson stood by the window with his back against her as he held his phone right by his ear.
"So? Have you decided?" It was Justin on the other end of the call.
However, Alyssa didn't know this as she could only hear Jameson's voice.
"Sir, that medication is too strong.
I'm afraid it will be too strong for Lyse's body." Jamesonspoke with a respectful, cautious, and concerned tone.
Though, I'd have to admit that the medication is, to acertain extent) a perfect strategy since it can wipe out her memory of Jasper.
"But…
I love her.
I still can't bear to see her suffer."
Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2197-A medication that could make her lose her memory? Alyssa heard that part about losing her memory.
In an instant, she broke out in a cold sweat.
Her heart throbbed painfully.
What medication was that? Why would there be memory loss involved? What in the world was Jameson going to do to her? "Ms.
Alyssa is a stubborn woman straight down to her core.
If you're not going to have her take the medication but instead try to move her with your sincerity, making her feel touched or making her loyal to you will just
be a pipe dream.
"If that were possible, Jasper would've lost a long time ago.
Would this have dragged on till today?" "But Lyse had a miscarriage in the past.
Her physical condition hasn't been the same since she recovered from it."
Bitterness filled Jameson's eyes.
The pain in his chest made him inhale sharply, as if it was his child whom Alyssa had lost.
"It's still okay if all that medication does is wipe out Lyse's memories.
"However, there are many prohibited components in it.
RC Research Institute's clinical trial report clearly states its effects are volatile.
It might even cause serious side effects! "At the end of the day, Lyse is just a feeble woman.
What if the medication harms her body? I love her…
I can't bear to see her suffering and being in misery when she's by my side."
Alyssa widened her bloodshot eyes.
She felt as if her heart was being tugged at on both ends, each by Jameson and the person he was on the phone with.
She fought hard to keep her breathing stable while she perked up her ears and tried her best to listen.
She knew the person who called Jameson had to be the mastermind manipulating the entire situation secretly.
However, due to the distance, she still couldn't hear the other person's voice no matter how hard she tried to focus.
"Please, Sir…
Please let me make my own choice this time!" Jameson begged.
In a frigid voice, Justin's every word was like a nail to Jameson's heart.
"If I allow you to make your own decision, you will only regret it because of your own foolish decision.
"You must make Alyssa take the medication.
This is an order from me to you." Suddenly, Justin sniggered.
“Unless you feel like you've gotten what you wanted and will no longer obey me, you may forget what I said." Jameson's heart dropped.
He curled his fingers inward tightly, his fists trembling.
"You were the one who gave me this life that I have.
I will never ever betray you, Sir." He knew his glory days were over.
Justin held all the power, and crossing him meant danger—not just for him but for Alyssa too.
So, he remained obedient.
The wheel of fate had started turning 15 years ago when he was exiled from Solana City.
Now, there was no way out.
Sir, please … "Jameson pressed his hand against the window, leaning heavily on it to keep himself from collapsing.
"If Lyse and I get married…
could you spare her from the medication? I beg you…
" It was complete silence on the other end of the call.
Alyssa watched Jameson from behind, terror swelling in her chest.
Could such a medication really exist?
One that would erase all memories, even of the person she loved most?
She clutched the blanket, tears soaking her hair and pillow.
How could she forget Jasper? They met when she was 11.
She had admired him ever since, enduring 13 years of hardship to return to him.
How could she forget? Alyssa squeezed her eyes shut, pressing her hands to her aching heart.
The emptiness within her chest throbbed painfully —she missed him so much.
Seeing as you're so keen on winning her over, I shall give you this change.
Whether it was because of extreme sorrow or the effects of the tranquilizer, Alyssa was in a deep sleep for a long time.
When she lifted her heavy eyelids, Jameson was still the person before her eyes.
Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2198-"Lyse, you're finally awake!" Jameson held Alyssa's soft hands tightly as he caressed and kissed them longingly.
He had been so anxious that he was on the brink of tears.
"You've been sleeping for 24 hours.
You really scared me to death.
I was afraid that you were unwell! "T got a doctor to come over while you were asleep and got you injected with glucose.
You can't keep going on without food.
No matter how much you hate me, you shouldn't torture yourself.
Is it even worth it this way?" As a doctor, Alyssa knew she couldn't hold up much longer.
This bastard, Jameson, was right.
Even if she wanted to kill him, she needed to gather enough strength to do so.
"I'm craving meat," Alyssa uttered without looking at him.
After five days, Jameson finally invoked a normal response from her.
The quiver in his eyes reflected the joy within him.
"Sure…
I'll have the kitchen staff prepare something for you now.
It'll be ready soon.
Hold on, Lyse!" Less than an hour later, the kitchen staff prepared an entire spread of delectable dishes.
While Alyssa sat in a wheelchair, two female helpers pushed her into the bathroom and attended to her.
They washed her up, groomed her, and changed her clothes.
A little color returned to her face when she emerged from the bathroom.
Even so, her cheeks were still sunken, and she looked frail.
Jameson's gaze was deep and zealous.
He strode forward, leaned down, and put his arms around her waist to pick her up ina princess carry.
As he held her tightly in his arms, a look of hatred flashed across Alyssa's eyes.
Nevertheless, her limbs were devoid of any strength to resist him.
Jameson carried her carefully to the dining room.
When they sat at the dining table, he sat her on his lap and continued to hold her in his arms.
He didn't even care that his straightened suit was all crumpled up.
"Lyse, your mobility is limited.
I'll feed you." Looking at her tenderly and affectionately, Jameson cut the steak into small pieces and fed them to her patiently.
Everyone on Rose Island knew Jameson's patience was reserved for Alyssa alone.
Alyssa lowered her moistened lashes.
Piece by piece, she finished the entire steak.
The light in her eyes had faded, replaced by an emptiness, a darkness that mirrored still water.
"Be good," Jameson whispered, his fingers grazing her cheek, his eyes misting.
"Eat well so that you'll look good in your wedding dress when you're a bit plumper.
Though, of course, you're also very beautiful now." Alyssa shuddered when she thought about that drug that could wipe memories away.
She no longer dared to be overly resistant against Jameson's idea of wanting to marry her.
At the same time, she wasn't going to comply.
All she could do was to remain silent.
She had always been proud and strong, but even she had limits, and they were being tested.
"Go rest.
I'll take you to the rose garden I cultivated later.
plan to have our wedding there.
Jameson picked up a napkin and m gently wiped the food residue from the corner of her mouth.
Alyssa remained expressionless and silent.
Nevertheless, this was already enough for Jameson to jump for joy inside.
To him, she had finally given in after five days and five nights of torment.
As much as she still hated him, she couldn't bear the torment any longer.
Even so, he still didn't have the guts to take her off the tranquilizer completely.
At most, he could only reduce its dosage a little.
At this moment, a helper hurried over.
"Mr.
Schmidt." "What's the matter?
Jameson asked goldly as hefed m Alyssa some fruit juice.
"We have a visitor on the island."
Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2199-Alyssa trembled uncontrollably in Jameson's arms.
A twinkle of hope lit up in her eyes.
Could it be her brothers? Was it Jasper? They found her, didn't they? Emotions surged fiercely within her, and tears of anguish filled her eyes.
She was this close to bursting out in tears.
However, after being drugged by Jameson, her limbs were limp and devoid of energy.
Escaping his grasp was impossible.
"A visitor?" Jameson's elegant face paled instantly.
"Just one?" "Yeah.
A man." Upon hearing this, Jameson didn't let his guard down.
Instead, he felt as if his heart were being constricted by a thorny vine.
The pain made his heart cramp.
In the next second, before he could respond, a series of heavy, chilling footsteps echoed through the dining room as the man strode in confidently.
"Mr.
Schmidt." The man's voice was deep and hoarse, like golden sand under the bright sun.
Alyssa's heart raced with anticipation as she looked up.
That glance was a seismic event for her.
Her moist pupils constricted.
Staring at the familiar-looking man, whose face was deeply etched into her heart, blood rushed through her throbbing veins, and her chest heaved.
"Damien…
Damien!" Alyssa yelled out with all her might.
Her eyes had turned red.
Her immense heartache, longing, the fear she had been suppressing for so long, and all her emotions erupted instantly.
She came undone and cried her eyes out.
She collapsed into a state of utter disarray, losing her composure as a graceful scion.
Before her eyes stood a man who looked exactly like her fifth brother, Damien.
He was expressionless, his eyes devoid of any emotion.
He seemed like a cold, icy AI robot.
Remy glanced coldly at the crying Alyssa.
Then, with an indifferent gaze, he turned to Jameson, saying, "Sir had me come over to assist you." "Have you really come to help me?" Jameson's voice was tense as he stared at the man whose face was revealed to Alyssa.
"Why bother? You are no longer the Mr.
Schmidt revered by many.
" Remy raised an eyebrow slightly.
His tone was frigid, and his truth more piercing than any sarcastic comment.
"Having an extra hand is beneficial for you, isn't it?" Jameson felt a stab of pain in his heart.
He knew better than anyone what this face meant to Alyssa.
Justin had observed and strategized well.
He wouldn't make a wrong move.
Therefore, there was only one possibility—Justin intended for Remy to reveal himself to Alyssa! As Alyssa stared deeply at Remy, she could taste the bitterness of the tears that had flowed into her mouth.
He worked for "Sir", which meant that he was the subordinate of the mastermind behind Jameson.
If Remy was truly Damien, why was everything about him different except Fb.
his face? Even his voice, his tone, and the look in his eyes were all different.
But she was certain she didn't misrecognize him.
Amber had undergone plastic surgery to look like her.
Even so, she still looked slightly different under careful scrutiny.
After all, plastic surgery was not the same as copying and pasting.
Everyone had their natural skin tone.
It was impossible to transform one person into another.
So, why did this man look exactly like Damien? If he wasn't Damien, who !!
else could he be? "It's been a long journey.
I'm hungry." Remy couldn't be bothered to take another look at Jameson.
He casually pulled out a chair by the dining table and plopped down on it.
"Mr.
Schmidt, I'm a guest here.
You should prepare a fresh spread of food for me, don't you think? I'm not eating someone else's leftovers. m With a gloomy gaze in his eyes, Jameson commanded a helper ina frosty voice," Go prepare a table of fresh dishes." Remy chimed in, "I hate the sea.
I don't eat fish or any seafood."
Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2200-Alyssa's heart pounded fiercely.
Damien had never liked the sea.
He found its vastness and mystery unsettling, always leaving him feeling inexplicably depressed.
He preferred towering mountains, enjoying the thrill of climbing to their peaks and their majestic view.
Ironically, he lost his life to the sea, dying in a manner he had always dreaded.
Additionally, Damien disliked eating fish, finding the process of removing bones tedious.
Yet, whenever Alyssa had fish, he would patiently and carefully remove all the bones for her.
He had got to be Damien.
He must be.
"Damien! I'm Lyse.
Don't you recognize me? Damien!" With tears in her eyes, Alyssa called out to him repeatedly to jog his memory.
"You've got the wrong person, Ms.
Alyssa." Remy couldn't care less.
He even felt that she was being noisy.
I am an orphan.
I am on my own, so I don't even have siblings.
"Mr.
Schmidt, one tends to hallucinate after facing the sea for a long time.
You should get Ms.
Alyssa's head checked." Jameson tasked his people to take Alyssa back to her room.
In the dining room, the two men, with vastly different dispositions, faced each other.
Remy devoured his meal with gusto while Jameson, sitting across from him, looked pale and sinister.
They seemed to come from different worlds.
"How long are you staying here for?" "Until you get married." When Remy finished his meal, he straightened his back and picked up a napkin to wipe his mouth.
He briefly exuded the air of a nobleman before returning to his cool demeanor.
"If you and Ms.
Alyssa can marry, I will leave this place." With a gloomy gaze, Jameson asked, "And if we can't?" Remy lowered his eyes, remaining silent as he took a leisurely sip of water.
"You'll take my fiancée away from me and bring her to Mr.
Justin, won't you?" Jameson's shoulders shook slightly beneath his suit.
"If you truly love Ms.
Alyssa, as you claim, this is probably the best course of action," Remy replied.
Remy stood up abruptly.
"If you and Ms.
Alyssa become husband and wife, you can forget what I said.
Mr.
Justin will give his blessings to both of you." With that, he turned and left without hesitation.
Jameson watched his tall, proud figure, still carrying the remnants of his dashing demeanor as a flight captain.
Jameson was stunned.
All of a sudden, it all became clear to him.
Justin was a cunning man, skilled at manipulating people based on their personalities.
He sent Remy here as a backup plan and to stabilize Alyssa's emotions.
Would she still contemplate running away with a "Damien" like this by her side?
Would she still want to escape? Jasper and the Taylors searched tirelessly throughout Kontina for five days, combing through islands, coastal areas, and cities.
Liam had also mobilized his resources to support their efforts.
During the day, they surveyed the islands, large and small, searching for any sign of Alyssa.
But when night fell, darkness engulfed them.
They couldn't see the landscape, let alone search for people, and wild animals posed a constant threat.
The situation was perilous.
Despite this, Jasper refused to retreat.
He relentlessly searched for any trace of Alyssa.
Time was of the essence.
The thought of Alyssa being held captive by a monster like Jameson filled him with a sickening dread.
He couldn't allow himself to slow down, even for a moment.
Cyrus and Liam were on the brink of collapse, but Jasper kept pushing on.
The others feared he'd collapse before they even found Alyssa.
On the sixth day, everyone, including Jasper, was utterly exhausted.
"If we continue like this, we might even take a year to find her.
We don't have enough manpower.
This isn't enough to cover every corner of the country!" Liam slammed his fist on the map on the table in anger.
Rage and hatred interweaved within him, and his eyes had turned red.
After toiling for a few consecutive days, even Cyrus a tough criminal investigator, developed a high fever.
He relied on ibuprofen to keep going.
It was too much.
The search area was too vast, and they needed far more support.
But this was Kontina, not Cyrris.
Their resources were limited.
Even as president, Jeremy needed the royal family's approval to mobilize military troops.
Just as they were at their wits' end, Miley led a dainty, familiar andOm beautiful woman into the room.
