Ch. 2251..2260

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2251-Alyssa didn't return to her manor in Solana City over the next three days. Not only was Rosie working there, but that place also contained too many memories of her relationship with Jasper.

Simply stepping into the place made her heart feel like it was being tom.

Alyssa didn't dare to return to Heightsnew Villa either. She didn't want Winston to worry or her family members to question her. Thus, she booked a room at KS World Hotel and just made do with that place for three nights.

She had lost Jasper's love. Her heart was despondent, and she felt like a lost boat drifting out at sea.

She no longer had a home.

Jonah, Cyrus, and Sean found her at the hotel on the fourth day.

With the curtains closed, Alyssa curled her small frame up under the covers and slept the day away. She didn't hear the knocks on her door at all.

The three men were terrified to the point that they immediately called the supervisor over to open the door with the master key.

There was complete silence in the suite. Even though it was in the middle of the day, there was not a single ray of light to be seen.

A few pieces of clothing were strewn across the couch, and two sides of a pair of heels lay on opposite ends of the room.

When they saw the mountain of mac and cheese cups on the tea table and the table littered with beer bottles, all three lost it.

*Lyse is just ruining herself!"

Cyrus' heart was so pained that it was difficult to breathe. It felt like his insides were a convoluted mess that was being churned about with a sharp blade. He bellowed, "He's just a freaking man. What's special about him? If he no longer loves her, so be it! Why does she have to torment herself like this?

"If I had known that this would be the case, both of them should've just cut ties completely when they first split up. They shouldn't have gotten involved with one another again! Jasper is the bane of her existence. He should just be single for the rest of his fucking life. Whoever gets involved with him will suffer from bad luck!"

Sean was a subordinate. It wouldn't be appropriate for him to utter such extreme words before Jonah and Cyrus. That being said, he expressed the misery in his heart through the look on his face.

As redness filled his eyes, he walked to the side of the couch and silently folded Alyssa's clothes. He picked up her heels one by one and placed them neatly by the entrance.

Having met the love of his life and becoming a father-to-be, Sean was even more attentive when caring toward others than he used to be. After all, when Alyssa had just gotten divorced, he spent much of his time looking after her daily living.

He finally broke down as he cleaned up the mac and cheese cups and beer bottles. With his head lowered, he gritted his teeth and started crying. His broad shoulders trembled.

Alyssa was the nicest woman in the world.

What kind of evil deed did she ever do in her previous life to deserve such repeated misfortunes in this life that left her all bruised and battered?

The look in Jonah's eyes was dim. He did not say a word. The suit he was wearing over his tall and strong body concealed the slight quiver that he was experiencing from refraining himself forcefully.

Even when Alyssa got divorced and was chased out of Seaview Manor looking all miserable, she had never given up on herself like this.

This time, it was as if her soul and energy had been sucked out of her. The radiance she used to have had now vanished as she fell into the ice cold ravine.

With a frigid look on his face, Jonah strode over and pushed open the door to the bedroom.

It was pitch dark inside. Only a tiny head was vaguely visible while the blanket was rolled into a ball.

Feeling the rage that was about to blow up from within Jonah, Sean hurried forward to stop him. "Mr. Jonah, give Ms. Alyssa some time to rest… She's been absolutely exhausted."

"Is she resting right now? She's torturing and abusing herself!"

Jonah shoved Sean aside. With a frigid air, he stormed toward the bed. "If she's unable to withstand a small blow like this, how will I have the confidence to hand KS Group to her and allow her to take over the Taylor family?

'She is the hope of the entire Taylor family. If she's just going to come apart and spend her days like this, she is only going to disappoint Dad."

He couldn't bear to do anything at first, but after standing by the bed for a moment, he clenched his teeth and flung Alyssa's blanket aside.

On the bed, Alyssa's dark hair was covering her pale face entirely. Her pajamas were scruffy, and she was curled up like a stray cat.

"Alyssa Taylor, what in the world are you trying to do?"

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2252-Alyssa squinted through bleary eyes. After staring at Jonah briefly, she squirmed a little before closing her eyes again.

"Either you forget Jasper or step up and make him fall for you all over again."

Jonah's gaze was fiery, like twin flames dancing in his eyes. "Look at yourself right now. You're just wasting your life away right here!"

"You're really noisy…" Alyssa mumbled, burying her head into the pillow. Her dark hair fanned out across the white sheets, making her seem all the more fragile. "Go away… Let me sleep.' As her older brother, Jonah felt a mix of frustration and helplessness. His heart ached to see her like this.

The key person involved had to be the one to solve the problem. Persuasion coming from anyone else was meaningless.

Jasper was the only one who could help her with overcoming her troubles.

'Ms. Alyssa, if you're hungry, you can get the chef at the hotel to whip something up for you. Is there anything you'd like to eat? Why must you have instant mac and cheese?"

Sean was extremely worried. "It's not good for your health to have so much mac and cheese cups. What would you like to have? I'll make it for you."

"Mac and cheese cups are yummy… I like it,' Alyssa answered in a monotonous voice. She was not completely disheartened yet. She was still capable of answering questions thrown at her.

Cyrus was well aware that Alyssa was a drama queen. Instead of employing a conventional approach, they needed to go with something more unexpected.

So, he walked to the side of Alyssa's bed, leaned into her ear and whispered like a devil, "I found out who came in contact with Jameson."

A few seconds later, Alyssa sat right up in bed suddenly. She widened her eyes and asked, "Who were they?"

"My goodness… You stink!"

Cyrus pinched his nose and pretended to be disgusted. "The cleaner will think that it's a crime scene when she comes in tomorrow morning and call the cops immediately."

Sean burst out laughing when he heard Cyrus' exaggerated response.

"Go take a shower and have a proper meal. I will tell you my findings if you do as I say."

As expected, this tactic worked.

Alyssa crawled out of bed swiftly. Barefooted, she stumbled toward the bathroom.

Looking at Alyssa from behind, Jonah's frown deepened. He noticed that she had her arms crossed in front of her chest and was leaning forward by her hips slightly. He also saw that her skinny legs were trembling.

"Lyse, what's wrong?" he asked in a worried voice immediately.

*I'm fine… I'll take a shower. I'll be quick," Alyssa replied in an especially soft voice.

It was obvious to Jonah that there was something off about the way she breathed. His chest tightened. He walked toward her quickly.

"Lyse, are you feeling unwell? I'll take you to the hospital right now."

'I'm no-' In the next second, Alyssa felt an intense cramp in her stomach, as if there was a spiky ball rolling around in her abdomen.

Right after that, her muscles tightened. She bent forward suddenly and threw up a mouthful of fresh blood.

"Lyse!" Jonah and Cyrus yelled and rushed forward immediately.

Sean was scared out of his wits. As quickly as he could, he picked up his phone and called for help.

Alyssa fell into Jonah's arms. Her vision went dark and fresh blood pooled in her mouth. Bit by bit, she lost consciousness.

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2253-Today, after undergoing a full-body checkup, Jasper was cleared to return home for rest, having met the conditions for discharge.

After lunch, Xavier brought a suit set over and helped Jasper change into it piece by piece.

When it was time to tie his necktie, Xavier was naturally reminded of those countless sunny mornings when Alyssa tied Jasper's ties for him.

Alyssa was good with her hands and knew how to tie Jasper's tie in all sorts of ways.

Every time she finished, Jasper would wrap his arms around her waist, pulling her close before pressing a deep kiss against her lips.

Xavier wondered if there would ever be a chance to witness that beautiful scene again. He was discontented. He uttered, "Um, Mr. Beckett…"

Jasper was silent. He lowered his eyes slightly and stared at Xavier with a frosty gaze.

Just as Xavier was about to muster up his courage to talk about Alyssa, someone in a white lab coat strutted into the room.

"Mr. Jasper, you look rather good today."

The smile on Sheryl's face reached her eyes. Casually, she walked before Jasper. "Congratulations on getting discharged from the hospital."

As she said that, she held out both hands and presented him with a bunch of creamy white tulips that she had hidden behind her back.

Looking emotionless, Jasper hesitated for a bit before taking the tulips from her. "Thank you, Dr. Gillis."

"Mr. Newton and Mr. Javier are on their way to pick you up. They're both really worried about you."

Sheryl curled her light pink lips upward. "Mr. Justin isn't feeling very well today, so he sent me to pick you up. After all, I'm a doctor. I can help you out if there's anything you need help with."

With a neutral expression, Jasper responded in a deep voice, "That's nice of Justin."

Standing behind Sheryl, Xavier observed her closely without making a sound. For some reason, he always felt really uncomfortable when she saw her. He'd feel as if something was weighing on his chest, making it difficult for him to breathe.

There was a familiar yet foreign feeling. It was a strange feeling that he couldn't explain.

Right at this moment, Xavier's cell phone rang. It was an urgent call from the company, so he left to take it.

Jasper and Sheryl were the only ones left in the hospital ward.

Jasper turned and faced the mirror. He was trying to do up his own necktie.

Nevertheless, it was still a mess even after a few minutes. He couldn't figure it out at all. A thin layer of sweat formed on his temples as his brows knitted tightly together. Out of frustration, he blurted, "Lyse, help me."

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2254-The room was silent.

Sheryl heard the name "Lyse" clearly. Alarm bells started ringing in her head.

Didn't Justin wam that this type of medication could interfere with a person's emotional processing? It was meant to erase all traces of Jasper's passionate devotion to Alyssa so he would never yearn for the woman he ance loved. So why would he mention Alyssa's name now?

Jasper stared at his reflection in the mirror, surprised to see himself standing there alone. He had convinced himself he didn't need anyone else in his life.

Yet, for some strange reason, the moment he said "Lyse", it felt as if a hole had formed in his heart. An echo reverberated through that void, one he couldn't ignore.

He didn't realize that her name echoed because he couldn't forget her.

While Jasper stood lost in thought, soft hands suddenly glided across his broad shoulders and around his neck. A light fragrance drifted to his nose.

Looking down, he met Sheryl's eyes, filled with tenderness. The intensity in his dark gaze dulled immediately.

"It looks like you're not too familiar with tying neckties, Mr. Jasper."

Sheryl traced her fingers gently around his dark gray necktie. In a captivatingly sweet voice, she offered, "Let me help you. Mr. Javier and the others will arrive soon. It won't be nice for them to see you like this."

Even though she was in heels, Jasper was still taller than her. She tiptoed intentionally so that they could lean closer to one another. Their breaths intertwined, and their noses were almost touching.

Jasper frowned slightly. He was about to speak up when heavy footsteps sounded at the door.

He looked up immediately, only to see Julien standing there with an icy look on his face, watching all that was before his eyes. Jasper and Sheryl looked especially intimate from where he stood. They looked as if they were about to kiss.

Julien's sharp eyes widened, blood boiling as rage surged.

"Oh, Dr. Lovelace."

Sheryl turned around. She beamed at Julien, who had a gloomy look on his face. She explained in an innocent tone, "Please don't misunderstand. Mr. Jasper didn't seem to know how to do up his necktie, so I was just helping him out a little."

Julien smirked coldly and stormed right toward Jasper.

In the next second, he raised his hand and slapped Jasper's face.

Jasper's head snapped to the side, a burning red handprint blossoming on his cheek.

Sheryl immediately stepped between them.

Sheryl stood in front of Jasper immediately. "Dr. Lovelace! How could you hit someone for no reason?"

"Bugger off. I'm not a gentleman." Julien's face fell. He touched the roof of his mouth with his tongue. "Say another word and I'll hit you as well!"

"Why, you- In frustration, the color drained from Sheryl's face. Julien shoved her aside roughly.

*Jasper, it's only been a few days since you woke up. Are you that desperate to replace your old lover with someone new?"

Julien's eyes reddened with anger. He was burning with fury. "Did that small issue with your brain awaken that jerk within you? You're having an emotional disorder, not amnesia. Don't you know that Ms. Alyssa Taylor is your girlfriend?

*Even if you no longer have any love for her, don't you still have your morals? How could you be getting involved with another woman in broad daylight when you have an actual girlfriend? Are you even human?"

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2255-Sheryl took a deep breath. Maintaining that same gentle posture of hers, she said, "Dr. Lovelace, you're mistaken. I was just helping Mr. Jasper with his tie. I'm afraid you're being overly sensitive and making a mountain out of a molehill.' "He can do it himself. Or, if not, he has Mr. Hall. Why would it even concern you?"

Human attraction was fascinating. Julien's initial impression of Sheryl was unfavorable-he found her insincere. Furthermore, he had heard from Jonah about the Beckett family dynamics. Justin and Jasper, bom of different mothers, had a strained relationship. Given Sheryl's allegiance to Justin, Julien became increasingly wary of her.

"Dr. Lovelace, I've set things straight with Ms. Alyssa."

Jasper pursed his lips so tightly that they turned pale. In a deep voice, he clarified, "We have gone our separate ways.' A shocked expression came across Julien's face. He stumbled a step backward. "What did you say?"

Stepping aside with a seemingly calm look, Sheryl lifted the corners of her lips very subtly.

"We've gone our separate ways," Jasper repeated in an even colder tone.

"What the heck… You bastard!"

Julien charged forward and grabbed Jasper by his collar. The knuckles on his hands turned white. "Lyse wasted her youth, lost a child, and sacrificed so much for your sake.

"Her heart is shattered, and her body has crumbled from all that stress. She threw up blood just an hour ago and was sent into the ICU. She's still unconscious as we speak!

"Even if you don't love her, don't you feel any sense of responsibility? How could you say that you no longer want her? What the hell is wrong with you?"

He had been trying his best to trivialize this matter these few days so as not to make Alyssa sad or remind her of her sorrow.

He knew that the people around them were anxious, terrified, and worried. These worrisome emotions would only amplify her suffering and, consequently, make him feel even more terrible.

Despite everything, anyone who had witnessed the growth of their relationship could understand the pain of losing a loved one.

How could they accept it? They used to be so passionately in love. Right now, Jasper was saying that he no longer loved her. How could anyone take that?

Upon hearing that, Jasper frowned deeply. As bizarre as it was, a plethora of emotions surged within his eyes. "She… threw up blood? Because of me?"

*Jasper, you should pay Lyse a visit if you still have a heart."

Julien took a deep breath to force himself to simmer down. All of a sudden, he released his grasp on Jasper's collar.

"Even if you no longer have any feelings for her, the memories you share are still in your mind, aren't they? She was once someone you vowed to protect. You went through so many difficulties to be with her. Yet, you're leaving her now… Do you truly not feel any pain in your heart?

"Are you not afraid that it would too late for you to regret it one day?"

After saying that, Julien turned around and stormed off.

Too late to regret…

Suddenly, Jasper's vision turned blurry. He was overcome by an immense pain. In that instant, he felt as if his head had become an oversized balloon that was about to pop!

"Mr. Jasper, what's wrong? Where does it hurt?"

Sheryl rushed forward to hold him, but was brushed off fiercely by Jasper, who was breaking out in cold sweat." Nothing. I'm fine!"

Her hands froze awkwardly in mid-air. Dissatisfied, she balled her hands into fists.

After leaving the hospital ward, Julien ran to the balcony, fuming. He dialed Jonah's number.

"Hey, Julien." Jonah's voice was tender as usual with a hint of tiredness.

*Jonah… I…

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2256-Initially, Julien had suppressed his emotions the best he could.

Yet, the moment he heard Jonah's rich-sounding voice, he broke down.

"T can't take it anymore…

I feel really bad for Lyse!" "Don't cry, my love." Jonah quickly comforted Julien in a warm, slightly throaty voice, "I know you care for Lyse.

So do we.

Don't worry.

She had acute bleeding in her stomach, but she's already awake now.

"According to the doctor, it was caused by her irregular eating habits on top of being too heartbroken and consuming too much alcohol.

Moreover, Lyse already suffers from gastritis.

It's a condition that she developed as a result of having irregular meals when she used to work as a medic on the battlefield." Julien was astounded.

"Lyse…

has been on the battlefield?" "She was with Doctors Without Borders at Luminara that year when they were at war.

She saved a good number of citizens and soldiers from the Peacekeeping Forces." Jonah's voice contained heartache and an inexplicable feeling of pride when he mentioned these.

"Oh my god…

How is it that you Taylors have such big hearts? Luminara's political situation was unstable.

Not only was there war, there were also a number of terrorists wreaking havoc.

As a woman, Lyse went to such a faraway place and dove into dire straits every day.

How was it that all of you could bear to see her do that?" Jonah stayed silent for a moment.

Then, he took a deep breath and answered in a shaky voice, "We couldn't bear to see her there either.

But she was so fixed on pursuing Jasper that she wanted to follow him wherever he went.

None of us were able to stop her." Julien was mind-blown.

He exclaimed in shock, "Lyse…

went to do such dangerous work because of Jasper?" "Jasper used to be a soldier with the Peacekeeping Forces.

He was once dispatched to Luminara for an important mission." Jonah's voice tensed up.

'"Lyse only applied to go to Luminara so that she could see him.

She almost didn't make it back…" "Jasper doesn't deserve her…

That brat doesn't deserve Lyse's love at all!" Julien's captivating, sharp eyes turned red with anger.

He slammed his fist onto the railing on the balcony.

"After he regained consciousness, he's become an absolute asshole! I happened to bump into him being all lovey-dovey with that Dr.

Gillis, the female doctor who hangs around Mr.

Justin.

I gave that brat a slap and scolded him for being a jerk.

Then, he actually told me that he and Lyse have gone their separate ways!" As Julien said that, tears started streaming down his face again.

He choked with even more emotion, "Jonah, truth be told…

With the way Jasper is acting right now, I'd very much rather have him dead! tt "Julien…" "Lyse could only watch as he distanced himself from her even though he was just right before her eyes.

She even has to bear with him getting close to other women.

"Jonah, who in the world is able to bear with that feeling of falling from heaven to the depths of hell? I really regret saving him.

I should've drugged him and made him comatose at the very beginning.

That'll be a million times better than the current situation!" "Julien, don't forget that Jasper only turned out like this because of Lyse." Jonah's breathing became heavier.

"It all depends on their fate.

If they're still meant to be together, Jasper will surely find his love for Lyse again.

"If this is where it ends, this outcome might turn out to be for the best.

All are good as long as they are alive and well" Julien pulledak.com hàndkerchief out and wiped his tears.

When I'm done with work…

I'll visit Lyse at the hospital." "No worries.

It's fine if you're only able to make it another day.

Lyse is still weak and needs to rest properly anyway." "Jonah, it'syour ! !

birthday the day after tomorrow."

Julien sniffled.

A blissful smile came across his face as he looked at the wedding ring on his ring finger.

"You know me.

Unlike you, I'm not always able to come up with unique surprises.

Just tell me what you want…" Jonah chuckled softly.

It was as if he could feel his fervent breath even through the phone call.

He replied, "In that case, don't work overtime the day after tomorrow." Julien blinked.

"That's all?" In a deep and gruft voice, Jonah elaborated, "Then cleanO 11 yourself up and Wait for me." "Fuck, I knew it! You're a bastard!" Julien cussed.

At the same time, he blushed.

He had already lost his heart to Jonah.

The skies lit up with a bright red glow as the sun set.

Driving a white Ferrari alone, Sheryl arrived at Seaview Manor.

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2257-In the study, Justin sat at his desk, engrossed in the art of calligraphy.

The ink flowed gracefully over the paper, inscribing the words, "Spring adds new life and new joy to all that is." His strokes flowed like a river.

They looked to be full of life and endless vigor.

"Mr. Justin, Jasper has been discharged." When Julien came to Sheryl's mind, she became enraged.

"That Dr. Lovelace is such a hindrance.

Because of Alyssa, he slapped Jasper and shoved me at the hospital today!

He's not a man at all, that bugger!" With a slight smirk on his face, Justin spread

out a new piece of writing paper.

"Why, does it make your heart ache to see Jasper getting hit?" "No, I just think that he's being too nosy.

I was just worried that he would mess your plan up." Sheryl had a gloomy look in her eyes.

"With someone like this by Jasper's side, provoking and stimulating him over and over, I'm worried that it would invoke his curiosity about Alyssa.

His subconscious feelings for Alyssa might be woken up if this continues." "Get in touch with this person tonight." Justin retrieved a document from his drawer, and placed it on his desk.

Sheryl walked over to him quickly.

She picked it up and took a glance.

She frowned.

"A member of Cloudtop? Hasn't this organization been disbanded? Why are you looking for this person? oy Justin narrowed his dark eyes slightly.

"Keep reading." Sheryl flipped through a few more pages.

When she saw the photo of the man in the document, that familiar face came like a bolt from the blue.

She exclaimed, "Julien? He's a member of Cloudtop? " "They look very much alike, don't they? I was also extremely shocked when I first saw this photo." A petrifying gleam came across Justin's eyes.

Looking deeply engrossed, he continued, "But that's not Julien.

His name is Blake Holland.

He used to be a core member of Cloudtop and the right- hand man of Cloudtop's person-in-charge at the time, Jonah.

He was also his first love." Sheryl's eyes filled with awe and utter admiration.

"Mr. Justin…

Y- You're incredible! How did you know of this person's existence?" "It was because I once tried to take over Cloudtop.

If Jonah hadn't taken over during that crisis and saved the day, Cloudtop would've already become mine." Justin sighed, exhaling a hint of helplessness.

"Jonah outsmarted me.

I do concede defeat in that battle." Sheryl scoffed, "But he can't always be the winner.

You have to make sure he's completely defeated this time!" "Back then, I assumed that Blake would be Jonah's Achilles' heel.

To my surprise, he was actually merciless enough to kill his own 11.

lover" Justin placed his calligraphy pen on his desk.

Then, he removed the paperweight, picked up the piece he had just written, and admired it carefully.

"This time, will Julien be his Achilles' heel? I'm really, curious, so l'dlike to!

giveit alshot. "sheryl had long become an entirely different person.

After being groomed by Justin, she was way quick-witted than she used to be.

She understood him immediately.

"Tl get you.

I'll make arrangements tonight."

"Thank you." "I will do anything born you sheryl took a deep bow, and exited the study.

The look on Justin's pale face turned as cold as a frozen lake.

He picked up a lighter, then set the paper on his desk, which he had just written on, on fire.

Seven words— "Spring is when life's alive in everything" —went up into flames.

The dancing fire was reflected in his eyes, as if he were a demon and hell all at once.

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2258-Thanks to timely treatment, the acute bleeding in Alyssa's stomach didn't turn into anything serious. She was sent to a regular ward to rest that same evening.

Jonah stayed by her side the whole time, looking after her. Cyrus, the workaholic, applied for time off from work. That night, he stayed back to look after Alyssa.

After hearing the news, Silas and Rose wanted to visit her. However, Jonah prevented them from doing so.

He was well aware that Alyssa was currently heartbroken and devastated. She would only force herself to smile and appear energetic when she faced them.

She was too drained. Staying at the hospital now actually gave her a chance to rest and prevented her from hurting herself before she came around.

*Cyrus… Can you tell me now?" Alyssa leaned back against the headboard weakly as she blinked. Her eyes were swollen.

Cyrus welled up with tears. In a pained voice, he remarked, "You're really rebellious, Lyse."

*I've always been rebellious."

With a frown on her face, a smile broke on Alyssa's face. As alluring as her smile was, she was pale and weak. She added, "Otherwise… why would Jasper and I end up the way we are right now?

*Jonah, Cyrus… please don't blame him, okay? He didn't do anything wrong. I was the one… I was the one who lost him. It's all my fault.."

Before she could finish speaking, her eyes misted over.

"You didn't do anything wrong. Neither of you did anything wrong."

Jonah wrapped his warm and calloused hands over Alyssa's tightly clenched fists. His quivering chest filled with sorrow, and his heart pounded heavily. "That said, Lyse, can you promise me that you will always look ahead no matter what?

*Jasper and love are not all that you have in your life. You have Dad, and the rest of us, your siblings. Lyse, what are we to do if you crumbled? I'm sure that Mom, even in the afterworld, wouldn't want you to wither your life away. Don't you think so?"

Mom…

A slight twinkle finally returned to Alyssa's dull eyes. She was reminded of Jennifer's imprisonment in Kontina. The authorities had chased Jennifer and displaced her. She'd only managed to escape after overcoming numerous challenges.

She eventually arrived in Belbanks, met Winston, got to know him, and fell in love with him. Finally, they became one. And that was how she came into existence.

Even after going through all that unimaginable suffering, Jennifer persisted and survived. She did not fall apart.

If Alyssa herself became dispirited and dejected for the rest of her days, she wouldn't be worthy of being Jennifer's only daughter.

She was Alyssa, not Catherine Earnshaw or Juliet. Even if her partner died, it didn't mean that she had to follow suit.

Moreover, Jasper was still alive.

Wasn't she the one who said that the most important thing was for him to still be alive and well?

*Jonah… I get what you mean. I will get better… Just give me some time. I will get better," Alyssa repeated over and over through her chapped lips.

Each time she said it, Jonah's heart wrenched.

"Out of all the people whom Jameson met with, I found someone who captured my attention," Cyrus said in a deep voice, breaking the sorrowful atmosphere.

Alyssa leaned forward immediately. "Who is it?"

"The private physician by Justin's side, Sheryl Gillis."

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2259-Jonah knitted his brows together while an icy gleam flashed across Alyssa's eyes. They exclaimed in unison," Sheryl?"

With a serious look on his face, Cyrus nodded. "Two days before Jameson's death, Sheryl gave free medical care to all the inmates at the detention center.

"Not long after that, Jameson died of a heart attack. Even though there isn't any evidence to prove that Sheryl murdered him, out of everyone who came in contact with Jameson before he died, she was the one who was qualified and capable of doing something like this.

*After all, it's really unexpected for her to show up at the detention center out of the blue, isn't it?"

Alyssa leaned back against the headboard again. She lowered her eyes.

"If Sheryl was really the one who did it, that would mean that Justin was acquainted with Jameson. Justin sent Sheryl to get rid of Jameson because he's worried that he would confess something when he goes to court to be put on trial. So, he decided to silence him in case it implicated him."

Alyssa was always a sharp-witted person. Her associative abilities were relatively superb. Just through a few words and a few bits and pieces, she would be able to make bold and shocking guesses.

Jonah's eyes widened in shock. "Justin and Jameson knew each other? Their paths have never crossed, though." Cyrus seconded, "After finding out that Sheryl had come in contact with Jameson, I immediately looked into her background. She and Jameson are total strangers, and her background didn't intersect with Jameson's either." Alyssa asked, "Why did she provide charity medical services for no reason, then? Cyrus, as you said, this was very unexpected.

"Not only did she provide free medical service, she also became a prison medic and a special advisor. The procedures have been completed and the city council has approved of it. She will be taking up the roles officially next month."

Cyrus frowned deeply. "Indeed, there are a lot of coincidences in all of these. Lyse, I wish that we could arrest the killer so effortlessly. But we need to have direct proof in order to make an arrest. We can't do that through mere speculation.

'Justin left Solana City for almost 20 years. We have completely no information on what he's been up to out there or who he's in touch with. He, on the other hand, is well aware of our situation here."

Alyssa shook her head. She massaged the area between her brows as it throbbed. Those painful memories crashed into her like waves.

"When Jameson took me captive on Rose Island, I happened to overhear Jameson speaking with someone on the phone. They were talking about the medication that Jasper took.

*Jameson spoke to the man he referred to as 'Sir' respectfully. As such, it is evident that this 'Sir' was the mastermind in control of Jameson. He had him control Schmidt Group and conduct experimentation on live humans.

"He's well-versed in pharmacology. At the same time, Justin is also very deeply connected with people in the field of drug manufacturing in Mosgravia. Could all these be mere coincidences?"

A terrifying silence befell the hospital ward.

Cyrus couldn't quite wrap this extremely complex and perplexing idea around his head. "Lyse, I know bad guys won't say they are bad people. But what is his purpose in doing these things?

"He's the oldest son in the Beckett family, born of Mr. Javier's first wife. Status-wise, his is higher than Jasper's. Now that he's returned to Beckett Group, if he wanted to, there's a possibility that Jasper might even struggle against him for leadership.

"So why would he get up to so much mischief? If he wanted power or status, it would be over once he returned and fought for it. If he engages in these immoral deeds, if he's not careful, it would be the end for him. Isn't the cost a little too high if he loses everything?"

Alyssa closed her bloodshot eyes and panted heavily. "Yeah. That's something that I haven't been able to figure out."

'That might be so, but things are different now."

Jonah had a grave and worried expression on his face. "For one, it has been too long since Mr. Justin left the Beckett family. Jasper has gained control over Beckett Group bit by bit, and built up a wide network in Solana City. He also has Mr. Newton's support. It won't be that easy for Mr. Justin to seize power.

"If it were in the past, he would still have the Dutton family's support. But his mother is no longer around, and the Dutton family has collapsed. Without any external support or Mr. Newton's favor, he must be in an extremely dire situation."

Alyssa was still young. When the Dutton family had their downfall, she wasn't old enough to remember it yet. At this moment, she was filled with curiosity.

*Jonah, do you know much about the Dutton family's downfall?"

At that very moment, outside the hospital ward, Jasper stood silently at the door. In fact, he had been standing there for nearly half an hour.

Can Not Win Me Back Chapter 2260-"Back then, the Dutton family was a wealthy family who was as highly regarded as the Beckett family is today. Mr. Javier's first wife was the second daughter of the Dutton family, Caroline Dutton. Their marriage was ordained by Mr. Newton personally and was publicly known as a marriage alliance between corporations.

"It is said that both parties barely met a few times before their marriage, so there was no opportunity for them to date romantically. In other words, their marriage wasn't built on love. Back then, the marriage alliance Mr. Newton forged with the Dutton family was only to salvage the Beckett Group, which was embroiled in some financial turmoil at the time."

As Alyssa listened to Jonah's elaboration, she looked unperturbed. "Marriage alliances between wealthy families are commonplace. Winston even wanted to have Taty marry into the Schmidt family previously."

"Mrs. Beckett only had one son, Mr. Justin. Even though the relationship between Mr. Justin's parents wasn't great, there weren't any malicious rumors at the time either. After all, the Becketts benefited from the Duttons power, and Mrs. Beckett gave birth to a son. Even if Mr. Javier has any objections about anything, there's no way that he would've shown it.

"This harmonious relationship went on until Mr. Justin turned four."

Cyrus listened intently, as if he were listening to a story. It was the same for Alyssa. She quickly prompted, "What happened after that?"

The look in Jonah's eyes dimmed. "One night, Mrs. Beckett used a shotgun to end her life by the pond in Seaview Manor."

Alyssa's eyes widened in shock. She started breaking out in cold sweat. "She took her own life with a gun? But, why?"

"Damn! That's real brutal of her!"

Cyrus was greatly astonished. "Most people would either choose to jump from a building, slit their wrists, or take sleeping pills when they try to take their own lives, just so that they won't die a painful death. I can't believe that she actually dared to shoot herself. She was really determined to die!*

Jonah furrowed his brows. With a tad of helplessness in his voice, he said, "Truth be told, no external party knows what Mrs. Beckett's cause of death was. That said, our father is an extremely nosy person. Back then, he even had that buddy of his, Mr. Victor, who was a busybody. So, as much as the Becketts tried to keep everything under wraps at the time, there were people who managed to catch wind."

"When Justin was four…

Suddenly, a glint flashed across Alyssa's eyes. Her chest tightened. "That year, Jasper's mother happened to be pregnant. Could it be that Mrs. Beckett took her own life because Mr. Javier had an affair?"

Cyrus couldn't help but feel terrified. His head went numb.

"A four-year-old child should be old enough to know what was going on, right? If Justin's mother's death was really because Mr. Javier had an affair, wouldn't Justin want to seek revenge on Jasper when he grew up?

"In that case, he might have returned with ulterior motives this time. Jasper might be in danger!"

Alyssa's thoughts were in a whirl. She also happened to have the same thoughts as Cyrus.

"It seems like it isn't that simple."

Jonah fell into deep thought. In a low voice, he continued, "When I was young, I once mentioned to Dad that Mrs. Beckett was really strange. She didn't seem too willing to meet people.

*After getting married, Mr. Javier never brought her out in public. Even in private, she rarely left home, and I've never heard of her having any close female friends either. In other words, she kept a really low profile and was really mysterious.

'Once, when Dad accompanied Mom to the hospital, they even bumped into Mrs. Beckett. She didn't seem to be doing well mentally. Her face was pale, and had a dazed look about her.

'She just took a brief glance at them before scurrying off. Since then, they never saw her again. On top of that, Justin had just been born not too long before that."

"Maybe it was something like depression."

Alyssa pressed her lips together and pondered. "Quite a lot of women who failed postpartum care ended up with symptoms of postpartum depression. It's possible that she never recovered from it.

"With Mr. Javier's affair to top that off, her condition worsened and caused her to take her own life in the end." Jonah chimed in, "That's possible too."

'But what did Mrs. Beckett's suicide have anything to do with the Dutton family's downfall?"

The baffled look remained in Alyssa's eyes. "Didn't the Duttons still have Mrs. Beckett's older brother to manage their family business?"

"That was because he got involved in a number of homicides."

"Hold up!"

As a criminal investigator, Cyrus' eyes lit up when he heard the word "homicides". He interrupted, "I think I've heard a senior of mine from the bureau mention that 30 years ago, the chairman from the Dutton family murdered two of his lovers overseas.

*After he returned to the country, he raped and murdered a young woman who was only 16 years of age. He even dismembered her body, then drove a luxurious sports car out to discard the parts. When he was arrested, not only was there absolutely no sign of terror or remorse on his face, he even smiled creepily at the cameras! *According to that senior of mine, throughout decades of his career arresting vicious criminals, that man from the Dutton family was probably the sickest of them all.

"Yes. Mrs. Beckett's oldest brother was the one who committed all that."

Jonah let out an extended sigh. This topic made him feel uncomfortable physiologically and psychologically." After Mr. Dutton was imprisoned, there wasn't anyone who led Dutton Group. In the end, their competitor acquired them, and their corporation fell apart. That was how it ended."

Upon hearing that, an intense chill spread throughout Alyssa's chest. Through gritted teeth, she remarked in a rage, "What an animal!"

Outside the door, Sean hurried over with a lunch box in his hands.

He jumped in fright and almost dropped the lunch box onto the floor when he spotted Jasper standing motionless, like a statue, at the door.
