Can't Win Me Back

Jasper clearly felt the warmth seeping out of Alyssa's hand. Her breathing grew heavier. He immediately knew that the unpleasant memories had triggered her and left her heartbroken.

He held the back of her head and gently kissed her on the forehead. Then, he offered her some comforting remarks, "Lyse, forget the unhappy memories. Look at me. I'm perfectly fine and healthy now, thanks to my talented wife, who fixed my broken skull!" NôvelDrama.Org copyrighted © content.

Alyssa shook her head in frustration because she knew that Jasper had never made a full recovery. His old injury lingered, but his condition improved only because of the love and care she showered him after they got back together.

His stress levels decreased, which led to improvements in his neurological health, and coupled with medical treatments, he finally stopped relapsing.

However, she was well aware of how he endured the pain when he was stressed out during the day. After putting her to sleep at night, he would secretly take painkillers for relief.

He might think he hid his condition well, but she was attentive to every single detail about him. It was impossible to keep any secret from her.

Javier's pupils dilated in shock. His stiffened expression was filled with resentment.

"M-Mr. Javier, I did not have a choice! I know Sophia Kirkman was your wife, but the man who showed up with her waved a knife in my face and threatened me to falsify the result. I dared not go against their order! Ah—"

Javier angrily kicked the doctor to the ground. "Do not ever refer to Sophia as my wife again, or I'll cut your tongue off! You're being naive if you think I'd let this matter slide because it happened 20 years

ago. One of you has to pay the price for messing with the Beckett family and humiliating us. Since Sophia Kirkman is dead, you shall be punished on her behalf!"

Javier couldn't believe that Ronald had been keeping in touch with Sophia. Not only that, the bastard willingly allowed her to take advantage of him and attempted murder on her behalf.

Sophia played a role in the death of Javier's beloved first wife, Anne, and took her place. On top of that, she and her illegitimate child enjoyed a life of luxury in the Beckett family. Had they not shot themselves in the foot, Javier feared that he might be kept in the dark forever as they pillaged the stocks and assets of Beckett Group.

"That cheating couple!" Newton felt suffocated from the fury inside him and felt sorry for Jasper. "That evil bitch was the reason Jasper lost his mom. Not only that, her lover tried to take Jasper's life! Had it not been for the surgery by Alice... Javier, you would have lost your son to that cheating couple!"

All color drained from Javier's face when a realization dawned on him. He took in the calm on Jasper's face, the amalgamation of his and Anne's best features. Jasper, despite going against Javier all the time and making trouble, remained Javier's flesh and blood at the end of the day.

At that thought, Javier started feeling remorseful.

"Javier Beckett, if you still regard me as your father, you need to tie up the loose ends of Sophia's sins." Newton finally regained normal breathing thanks to Alyssa's massage.

Fixing a stern glare on Javier, he issued an ultimatum, "It's only fair for you to take responsibility for the misdeeds of your family! You have let me down countless times. If you can't get it right this time, I will no longer see you as my son."
