Ch. 701..710
an’t Win Me Back Chapter 701-Zoe gasped and took a step back as she watched Alyssa approach with a cold determination.
Despite wearing heels, Zoe was still shorter than Alyssa. However, the height wasn’t the problem. Alyssa had outshined Zoe in terms of her inner qualities and her intimidating air. Zoe was reduced to nothing in front of Alyssa.
“W-What are you doing?” Zoe gasped. She turned white.
“Nothing much. I just want to clear your doubts,” Alyssa replied with a calm smile and took off her surgeon cap. Her dark hair cascaded over her shoulders in a sassy way.
She announced, “Your dear Jasper is out of critical condition. You don’t have to pray for him anymore.
Then, she whispered into Zoe’s ear, “You should just ask for my help instead of praying Since he got hurt because of me, I’ll treat him till he’s recovered. So, please don’t waste your time worrying for him.” Zoe was trembling in rage at Alyssa’s provocation. It seemed that Alyssa had overheard what she said in the corridor.
Just as she was thinking hard on a clapback, Landon joined them, his eyes sparkling with excitement. He blurted out, “Lyse, you know how to perform surgery?” “Of course,” she replied crossly and wiped the sweat on her forehead. She had just made it through a long surgery and wasn’t in the mood to talk.
“No, I mean, you’re cool! You’re the best!” Landon scrambled for compliments.
She gave him, a side-eye and shook her head, saying, “If you studied harder in school, you could use adjectives with more than two syllables.” Alyssa couldn’t help but wonder how someone as lovely as Lauren ended up with a shallow man like Landon, whose only redeeming quality was his wealth.
Zoe quivered in resentment, wishing that Landon would shut up.
Suddenly, they heard urgent footsteps approaching from the corridoi.
He continued, “Abel, meet my daughter, Alyssa, the one I’ve spoken so highly of many times.” Winston proudly pulled Alyssa to his side and added, “It may be hard to believe, but she’s an exceptional doctor. She just completed a ten-hourlong surgery. She freaking cracked open a brain!” Jonah and Landon shuddered upon hearing Winston’s crude description. Abel and the deputy director exchanged looks and turned to Winston in shock.
Abel stammered, “M-Mr. Taylor, is she really your daughter?” Winston furrowed his brow at the strange question. “What’s that supposed to mean? She’s definitely not.
yours!” Abel clarified, “No, no. What I meant was, were you unaware of her reputation?” Winston looked puzzled. “What reputation?” Taking a deep breath, Abel proceeded to introduce Alyssa to everyone with great respect and admiration.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 702-“Your daughter is none other than the renowned genius doctor-Dr. White!” The revelation left everyone in a state of shock.
Alyssa Taylor, in addition to her remarkable skills as a manager at KS World Hotel and a genius designer, was now unveiled as a brilliant doctor. She was nothing short of a superhuman.
Newton and Javier looked shell-shocked. They couldn’t believe what they had just heard.
People of their social standing were well aware of Dr. White’s formidable reputation, as she was highly regarded for her surgical expertise. Receiving treatment from Dr. White was a great honor for anyone.
Despite her widespread acclaim, Dr. White was a mysterious figure who refused to show her face or engage in interviews. Only a select few, like Jonah and Abel, had been privy to her truc identity.
The staggering revelation left Javier gaping in astonishment. Never had he imaginer that the young woman who had lived under his roof for three years possessed such a multitude of talents.
Feelings of inadequacy and powerlessness overwhelmed him. He knew he might never find another daughter-in-law as exceptional as Alyssa.
“Dr. Liverton, good grief…” Alyssa sighed with a wry chuckle. “Why did you have to let my father in? I explicitly told you to keep it a secret.” “Ms. Taylor, in the past three years, you’ve performed several successful surgeries at our hospital and helped us through challenging times. How can I keep this good news from Mr.
Taylor?
“I understand you want to keep a low profile, but you should at least let your dad hear about it!” Abel expressed his admiration for Alyssa.
Winston, a mixture of happiness and anger, couldn’t bring himself to scold Alyssa and instead playfully pinched her cheek. “How could you keep this from me? I should give you a good scolding!” “Winston, you can’t say that in front of everyone,” Alyssa admonished him in a hushed voice, clearly embarrassed.
“Alice…” Newton approached her and held her shoulders as he teared up. He scanned the outstanding young woman frein head to toe longingly. “Alice, i teel sorry. The Beckett family has wronged you.” “Grandpa, what are you talking about? Stop it.” “No. Our family was an obstacle in your life,” Newton added. He grew even more remorseful and reluctant He lamented, “Oh, what to do? I don’t ever want any woman near Jasper except for you. I will never approve of anyone else as my granddaughter-in-law!
“Call me greedy and shameless, but I do not want anyone except for Alice!” Winston wore a displeased expression, but before he could speak, Jonah held him back.
Alyssa was flustered by Newton’s antics. She blushed and said, “Grandpa, you’re acting out like a child.” While everyone ignored.
admired and praised Alyssa, Zoe stood on the outskirts of the crowd, ashenfaced and Even Landon did not show her any concern. She was forgotten by everyone.
Newton’s words had struck a nerve with Zoe, fueling her simmering hatred, and she wished ill upon Alyssa.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 703-It was not unusual for patients who underwent major surgeries to be in a coma for ten days. However, Jasper had a good physique thanks to his military background. He woke up on day four.
“Mr. Beckett! Mr. Beckett! Mr. Beckett!” Jasper felt increasingly irritated as someone persistently called out to him. He struggled to open his eyes.
As his vision gradually cleared, he saw Xavier standing before him, appearing disheveled and visibly thinner.
Xavier was agitatedly spamming the emergency button by the bedside. ‘Mr.
Beckett is awake! He’s awake!
“Anyone would wake up if you keep bothering them like this,’ grumbled Jasper, his ears ringing and his mind muddled. “Where am I?” “The hospital, of course! Don’t you know you’ve undergone a life-and-death situation?” Xavier informed him. Tears welled up as he recalled the misfortune that befell Jasper.
“Oh… Lyse!” The first thing Jasper thought about after waking up was Alyssa’s safety. The last scene in his memory was of the attacker aiming the metal stick at Alyssa. He lost the memory of what happened.
next.
fhe He wondered if he managed to protect her. What if he failed to protect her from the attack? The thought was unbearable.
Xavier are sed him down and coaxed him, “Madam is fine! She’s not hurt at all because you saved her.
Don’t worry.” Jasper was till concerned. At that moment, the hospital staff and the attending physician rushed in and helped Xavier restrain Jasper.
“Where’s i yse? I want to see her! Jasper shot up from the bed and trembled in rage. He seemed extremely emotional “Mr. Beckett, would you take a good rest for now? We can meet in Madam when you’re feeling better.
Just look at you now.
“I want to see her now. Right now!” For some reason, Jasper was tensed up His head felt like it might explode at any morment, and his heart seemed ready to leap out of his chest.
Just as everyone was taken aback by his outburst, a melodious voice cut through the tension. “Jasper A hush fell over the room as Alyssa stood at the doorway with a stern expression, her beauty still shining through.
“M-Madam!” Xavier grinned at her as if he had run into a savior.
“Lyse!” Jasper called out to her tenderly, but his trembling worsened. His head was heavily bandaged. He looked rather comical with his affectionate gaze.
She gave a faint smile and spoke coolly, “Please leave, all of you. The patient needs some rest.” Her tone. was professional.
“We’ll leave him to you, Ms. Alyssa,” the attending physician said respectfully and led the nurses out of the room.
Ever since Dr. White’s true identity had become known throughout the hospital, the usually arrogant medical staff showed Alyssa the utmost respect and admiration.
“Madam, I’ll leave Mr. Beckett in your good hands!” The sensible Xavier left the room and shut the door. after him.
Alyssa was glad to see Jasper waking up. However, she was reluctant to show her jov. Instead, she put on a stoic look.
She reminded him, “Jasper Beckett, you’d best avoid excessive movements after the brain surgery. If you don’t listen to me, you might end up an actual fool.” She crossed her arms on her chest with a mocking expression on her face. “If that happened, I would be too embarrassed to admit I was an acquaintance of yours.” Jasper interrupted her words with his next action.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 704-Jasper rolled out of his bed and rushed over to Alyssa.
“You-” she began. He grasped her wrist and spun her around dizzyingly into a hug. She bumped her head against his chest.
“Lyse, I’m so glad you’re safe,” Jasper mumbled repeatedly and rested his chin on her shoulder. He seemed to care more about her than himself even when he was injured.
Alyssa refrained from touching Jasper. She protested, “You’re still injured. Don’t move around. Go back to your bed and rest now.” “No,” he stubbornly refused, tightening his arms around her.
Widening her eyes, she sensed his fast-beating heart. Why? His body was warm and tense, his trembling suggesting something was wrong.
“Jasper, you’re not quite yourself now. Please let go of me. You should-Mmph-” She was cut off when Jasper sealed her lips with a kiss. His heart raced, and his breathing was ragged.
He inched closer to her while she strumbled backward until her back was pressed against the wall. Having nowhere to escape to, she was subjected to his aggressive kiss.
Jasper closed his eyes and kissed her passionately, like an exhausted traveler who had come across an oasis. He forced her lips open, and their tongues intertwined.
Her body flushed as he pressed against her and kissed her. His breathing stabilized after a while, and the trembling faded. Even his uncontrollable desire was reigned in.
Still, he kissed her as forcefully and as deeply as before, and he would have continued doing so all day if not because she was out of breath.
After the kiss, they were sweaty and panting. Jasper’s patient outfit was drenched and clung to his solid chest. He might as well not wear anything.
Even his pale lips became rosy. Was he trying to kiss his way back to recovery?
“You bastard! How dare you attack me right after you woke up?” she cursed him out harshly as she struggled to gather herself after the kiss.
He replied. “And I’ll only attack you.” After the kiss, he felt much refreshed. The bothering frustration no longer lingered.
His eyes deepened. He boldly pressed hirnself against her and lifted her chin as he remarked, “But it doesn’t hurt, does it?” “Get lost! Get into your bed!” She looked away as her heart raced.
“I won’t.” “Are you not even listening to me now?” she blurted out.
After a pause, he grinned and replied, “Of course, I’ll listen to you, but…” He swallowed hard and tickled her nose with a hot breath. “… only after I have enough of the kissing.” Before she could react, he pinned her wrists against the wall. He showered her with aggressive kisses once again.
It was after dusk when Alyssa freed herself from Jasper. She limped exhaudly to Abel’s office, sweaty and in a daze.
She and Jasper did nothing more than kiss, but it somehow felt as though they had scored a home run.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 705-After knocking, Alyssa entered the office. She greeted Abe “Ms. Alyssa, you looked flushed. Are you feeling unwell?” he asked with concem.
“Ah, I’m fine,” she reassured him while silently cursing out Jasper. She took a deep breath and touched her burning cheeks. “Are Jasper’s CT scan results out yet?” “Yes.” Abel retrieved the scan results from his drawer and handed it to her gravely. She scrutinized the results under the office lights, her expression turning troubled as her heart sank.
“Ms. Alyssa, you can tell what’s wrong, can’t you?” Abel looked worried. “But the surgery was a huge success. Only three doctors in the country have succeeded in performing this surgery sur “Is this what you call a success?” she wondered, feeling frustrated. Her trembling hands lungs d by her body, ruffling the scan results.
She groaned, “In my opinion, the surgery was a failure because of the complications!” The only thing she couldn’t bear was the taste of defeat, especially when it concerned … sper’s health.
Clutching her sleeve, she felt a pang of heartache.
Knowing that she was prideful, Abel comforted her, “It was a complicated surgery. I’m not surprised at the complications at all, so please do not blame yourself. Saving Mr. Beckett’s life is itself an achievement!” “No wonder he was emotional when he saw me just now…” Her voice trailed off.
She clenched her fists indignantly and inquired, “Is there any way to treat the complications?” Abel sighed. “We can only suppress his symptoms with sedatives. That’s the best option for the time being. However, the patient could better manage the symptoms if he remains calm and emotionally stable.” Emotionally stable? Did his emotions stabilize after kissing her?
She gritted her teeth and blushed in embarrassment. Treating someone as thick-skinned as Jasper was no easy task.
At midnight, two scantily dressed women in thigh-split dresses were entertaining Jameson in a treeriou lounge at The Millenaturn, they mostly served him alcohol and kept him company.
Everyone at The Millennium knew that Jameson was a clean freak, so the escorts knew better than to get Amidst the play of light and shadow, Jameson slumped on the couch and leaned back. His neckline breathtakingly graceful, like a work of art.
One of the escorts, who was too engrossed in watching him, accidentally spilled a few drops of wine on the tip of Jameson’s spotless shoes.
Her face drained of color as she apologized profusely to him, “M-Mr. Schmidt, I’m so sorry!” He slowly opened his eyes without looking at her. “Clean it up.” “Y-Yes!” Feeling relieved, she immediately knelt and shakily wiped his shoes clean with her dress.
“Now, get lost,” he instructed her irritatedly and massaged his forehead, “Okay!” The woman retreated and stumbled out of the door.
“You leave too,” Jameson added.
The remaining escort fearfully scrambled to exit the lounge.
As soon as they left, Carl cautiously entered the lounge and informed Jameson, ‘Mr. Schmidt, Ms. Altman has arrived.”
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 706-Jameson’s eyes finally lit up in anticipation. He ordered, “Let her in.” “Sure, Mr. Schmidt!” Then, Carl left the room. Soon, the silence was broken by the sound of clicking heels.
“Jimmy,” Amber Altman called out to him tenderly as she strutted over. He squinted at her with a grin, like he was admiring a piece of art.
Amber was the manager of Millennium. Each step she took was full of seduction. However, she maintained an air of sophistication.
Her looks were the biggest surprise of all. Jamseon’s heart raced the moment she showed up. She resembled Alyssa, with her dark hair, rosy lips, confident smile, and features he had painstakingly worked on over the years.
However, what she could never replicate was Alyssa’s charm and personality.
“Amber, come here,” he called to her, gesturing for her to approach. She obeyed, and he pulled her into an embrace.
“Jimmy…” Amber reached for his tie knot with her slender fingers and tugged on it affectionately. Thirsty for him, she leaned in for a kiss.
“Have you forgotten my warning to you?” He suddenly put on a stern look, his demeanor cooling down.” You resemble Alyssa in your looks, but you are not Alyssa.
“You’re just her replacement, so act like one. I am reserving my kiss for Alyssa.” “Got it. I’m sorry, Jimmy. I’ll take note of it next time,” she apologized and withdrew her hand as if her passion had been doused.
Among all of Jameson’s staff, only Amber was allowed to address him as “Jimmy”. Many assumed it was due to Jameson’s affection for her, but she alone knew it was because of her resemblance to Alyssa.
She bit her lips in heartbreak. She had been with Jameson since he was 15 in Kontina. He had never once forgotten about Alyssa.
She wanted to understand what kind of woman Alyssa was for Jameson to have loved her for so long.

Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 707-“The spy you planted in Taylor General Hospital has some new updates.
News of Jasper regaining consciousness quickly reached the Beckett family.
Newton and Javier hurrie to the hospital.
Upon seeing Jasper, Newton broke down, hugged him, and fought back tears.
He moaned, “Oh, my deal grandson, you’re giving me a heart attack!” “Grandpa, I’m so sorry for worrying you,” Jasper replied. He felt sorry for Newton.
“How do you feel? Do you still have a headache? Where does it hurt?” Newton refrained from touching Jasper’s head when he thought about the major surgery to stitch Jasper’s head. Right now, Newton was more careful with Jasper than with himself.
“I’m doing fine,” Jasper reassured Newton, Knowing what was on Newton’s mind, Jasper grabbed his hand to touch his own head. ‘Feel my head. Isn’t it pretty solid?” “Oh, you idiot!” Newton teased him. He gently and cautiously touched Jasper’s head with a wide grin.
Javier was there to visit Jasper as well. His relationship with Jasper could be described as awkward.
Javier had lost sleep when Jasper was in a coma, but he put on a sour face when Jasper was awake.
Javier always struggled to say anything nice to Jasper.
Newton patted Jasper’s cheek. He felt scared when he recalled the perilous situation, and he warned Jasper, “You’d better not give me another scare! I know you were protecting Alice, but you shouldn’t have.
exposed yourself to danger.
“It’s normal to want to be good to your woman, but you need to be healthy and strong to protect her. You don’t want to turn into ashes before you win her over.” Javier and Jasper were dumbfounded by Newton’s remark. Jasper cleared his throat and said, “Grandpa, can’t you say something more encouraging? Why the talk about death right after I’ve woken up?” “Sigh. You know what I mean. Right, my grandson?” Then, Newton whispered into Jasper’s ears as if sharing a top secret. “Let me tell you a secret- your wife is extraordinary.” Jasper blushed at the mention of “wife”.
Newton revealed, “She was your surgeon. It took her ten hours to remove all the blood clots in your brain!” “Lyse was my surgeon?” Jasper was stunned.
“It’s a shock, isn’t it? I never expected Alyssa to be the renowned ‘Dr. White.’ Goodness, what do we do now? She’s an incredible woman. Now, I worry that she’s out of your league,” Newton punctuated his worry with a sigh.
After the initial shock, Jasper looked determined. “I will try my best to be a successful man who can protect her and make her happy.” “Pfft. She’ll consider herself lucky if you don’t end up causing her more problems, Javier scoffed when he was reminded of his loss. “Back then, I advised you to stick with the marriage, but you insisted on divorcing Alyssa to date Liana. It’s too late now.” Jasper frowned. He wanted to retort, only for Newton to cut him off. Newton blasted Javier Tsk, why are you getting grumpier the older you are? Why bring up Liana?
Jasper might not be perfect, but he did leave that toxic relationship, unlike some who are still infatuated with the wrong person. You are in no place to lecture him when you can’t even get it right.” “Dad, how could you- Javier was incensed. His phone suddenly buzzed, interrupting the argument.
Javier checked his phone and instantly brightened. Justin had called him from abroad.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 708-“My dear son! You finally called!” Javier exclaimed with a smile. He was uncharacteristically warm and friendly.
Jasper blinked, taken aback by the warmth in Javier’s tone. He had never enjoyed such a cordial conversation with his father, and Javier had never addressed him as “dear son.” Javier seemed to reserve his paternal affection for Justin alone, and that stung Jasper. He couldn’t help. but wonder if Javier considered Sophia his one true love and Justin his sole son The overt favoritism was outrageous, leaving Jasper at a loss for words.
“Dad, how are you?” Justin asked. He had a distinctive chest voice and was loud enough to be heard by Jasper.
“I’m good. How about you? Are you recovering well at Mosgravia? Any relees?
Javier questioned. He had flown to Mosgravia last year to visit Justin but was too busy to do the same the year “I’m doing well, Dad. Please don’t worry about me,” Justin answered. Then, he shifted the topic with concern, “I heard that Jasper’s hospitalized. How is he doing? Is it a serious case?” Jasper furrowed his brows, touched by Justin’s concern but also bewildered by Justin’s updated knowledge of his younger brother’s life after years of living abroad.
Javier informed Justin, “Jasper underwent a major surgery. He was in a coma for a few days, but he’s awake now.” Justin wondered, “Are you visiting him at the hospital now?” “Yes, your grandpa and I are here in Jasper’s room.” “Can you pass the phone to Jasper? I’d like to talk to him.” Javier agreed and handed the phone to Jasper, saying, “Justin wants to speak to you Jasper took the phone hesitantly and said, “Hey, Justin.
“Jasper, I’m worried after hearing that you were badly injured. I wish I could fly home to visit you, but Justin sounded genuinely concerned.
*Justin, I’m fine. Your health condition doesn’t allow for long flights, and I wouldn’t want you to suffer fo my sake, Jasper reassured him with a smile Tm on the mend now, so please don’t worry Justin then inquired, Was Ms. Alyssa your surgeon?” Jasper was “Alveun was my sister in law, but you got a diver this year or surprised that she’d put aside the operate on you Head’s very teenus “Even though both of you are divord, you should be on greet terms with a kind and noble soul like Alyssa Justin sanded a little regretful Alyona” Jasper pressed his lips, wondering how bustin had kept tale on events in Cys despite living in Mengravia for yours.
He admitted, “Justin, our divorce was my fault Imissed out on a remarkable wornan. I did this to myself, He clenched his fists with determination. “But I am determined to win her back, even if it takes my entire life to do so. She was my wife, and she will be my wife again” Javier was struck by Jasper’s unwavering commitment. He believed Alyssa was a fine woman. However, to him, it would be unwise of Jaspest to upend his life for a woman’s sake.
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 709-“Bravo! Great speech!” However, Newton excitedly patted Jasper on the shoulder, nearly causing Jasper to barf.
Justin fell silent for a moment, then chuckled and offered encouragement, saying. “Good, I’m glad you’re determined. I wish you all the best in winning Alyssa back.” “Thank you, Justin,” Jasper muttered, but Justin’s mention of winning Alyssa back left him feeling uneasy.
Newton took the phone and cheerfully greeted Justin, ‘Justin, how’s life abroad?
I’ve heard the beaches are fantastic! When will you show me around and soak up some sun?” “Grandpa, there’s no place like home,” Justin replied with a laugh. “Considering your age, I’d rather not have you take the long journey to Mosgravia. Perhaps we can meet in Solana City once I’m feeling better.” Jasper felt miffed but kept his composure.
“Hahaha! That’s great, too. I so wish you could come home and reunite with your family!” Newton sighed. and added, “Don’t push yourself too hard. I’m aware of your health condition, and I won’t blame you for staying abroad. I can visit you from time to time.
“After all, it’s just a ten-hour flight on a private jet, How tiring could that be?” After a brief chat, Newton finally hung up.
Javier’s eyes brightened as he asked, “Dad, did Justin say he’s coming home?
Is that true?” Newton had a twinkle in his eye, but before he could respond, they were interrupted by Ben, who knocked on the door and announced, “Ms. Alyssa, Mr.
Landon, and Ms. Lauren have arrived.” “What? Is Lauren here too?” Javier exclaimed.
Alyssa and Landon entered, with Landon confidently holding Lauren’s hand. He showed no sign of embarrassment as if they were officially dating.
Meanwhile, Lauren bashfully hid behind Landon with flushed checks. Alyssa, who had followed the couple into the room, felt a tinge of frustration and helplessness but knew it wasn’t right to break them up.
“Landon, what’s going on?” Javier stared at their intertwined hands in shock.
“Dad!” Landon greeted Javier with a grin, surprising everyone.
Alyssa almost choked and shot a disapproving look at Landon. He had always referred to Javier as Uncle Javier” or “Mr. Javier,” but now he had called him “dad”.
Javier stiffened and questioned Landon what do you mean?” Landon inhaled deeply and raised his and Lauren’s interlocked hands. He launched into a rehearsed speech “Dad Lauren and I are deeply in love I’m head over heels for your daughter. My love for her is deeper than the ocean and higher than the mountains Alyssa and Jasper cringed at Landon’s cheesy speech Landon please stop. This is so embarrassing Lauren interjected, unable to bear listening to Landon’s words Her face turned deep red, and she squeezed his hand tightly
Can’t Win Me Back Chapter 710-So, I solemnly ask that you Lauren in the future * the past will host to Treat Lauren better that sews Awake he the over woman love Lauren abcess “We are dating sen Alyssa gered at Lesson thinking thing to that Beckett day make you a Meanwhile Jasper shot at kataster than that stand bed treat Lauren better than Jas tended Lyse was at thething he wo Throughout the lengths sech as too chly but his eyes brimmed with sincerity. One could tell that he had a wasting to let his telines out Newton smiled med way, thinking. Quite the tooth talke Javier, a businessman with three decades of experience was flustered by a younger apponent for He humedly regained his composure and it on a stem look He cleared his throat and began, Landon, I don’t doubt that, but as a father, I wish as a father, I wish to see a daughter marry a respectable man and build a loving family. I have no choice but to be honest with you. Please don’t take it personally.” “I know what you are about to say,” Landon collected himself and looked dead serious “You dont have to say anything to me. I know everything about Lauren We have bared our hearts and soule to each other She’s the woman I want “What? You scoundrel! Have you sullied my granddaughter Newton pointed a trembling finger at landen Landon waved his hand frantically in an attempt to clarify “Grandpa, you’ve misunderstood me! I’ve never been intimate with Lauren We’ve bared our hearts and souls but not our bodies Please don’t take it thes wrong way!
Initially confused by the conversation, Lauren blushed and hid in Landon’s arms upon hearing this explanation.
Alyssa smiled at the sight of Lauren seeking comfort in Landon’s embrace She tually felt at ease If it was Lauren’s destiny to be with Landon, she would choose him even if she had to go against the world. It reminded Alyssa of how she had stubbornly chosen to be with Jasper years ago.
Landon’s unexpected confession of love left Javier stunned. Since it was not the appropriate occasion for further discussion, he chose to keep his silence.
Lauren ran over to Jasper and blinked worriedly. “Jasper! Landon told me that you were hurt in the head.
How are you? Does it still hurt?” Jasper gently caressed her face and replied, “No, it does not hurt. Alyssa saved me, and she’s taking great care of me.” Even though Jasper was Lauren’s brother, Landon was envious when he saw Jasper touching Lauren.
“Thank goodness. Lauren sighed. Suddenly, she grasped Alyssa’s hand and begged, “Alyssa, can I ask you for a favor? Can you please stay by Jasper’s side? Take care of him until he’s out of the hospital.
“If you’re by his side, I’m sure he’ll feel happier and recover more quickly.” Alyssa’s heart skipped a beat. She pursed her lips at Lauren’s request.
Jasper stared at Alyssa with his puppy eyes. The two siblings were equally good at earning sympathy.
I Finally, she broke into a smile and replied, “Of course. I will take care of Jasper, He was hurt because of 1. I’ll look after him until he’s fully recovered.” “Woohoo! That’s wonderful!” Lauren clapped with joy.
