Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2233

In the blink of an eye, Jasper had been gone for an entire month.

As the president of Beckett Group and someone with such status and power, he disappeared just like that. Only Xavier was left to assist him with attending to urgent matters at the corporation. Even so, there were still a number of documents that had to be approved by Jasper personally.

"The troops" were in a mess while the documents for "the king" had piled up as high as a mountain.

In the end, the truth could not be hidden. Newton and Javier were finally alerted.

Jasper had a close call with death and ended up severely injured in Kontina. He ended up in a deep coma for an entire week. As his grandfather and father, they couldn't believe that they had only just found out about this news.

Their anger over being kept in the dark came like a bolt of lightning. Even as someone who used to be a powerful business leader, they almost couldn't take the news.

After Newton found out about it, he was sent to a hospital that same night.

Javier, on the other hand, rushed to Kontina overnight. Forcefully, he took his unconscious son away via a top- class private plane. Under the protection of Solana City's most outstanding medical team, he brought Jasper back to Solana City for treatment.

It was said that Javier and the Taylors had a huge and messy fight at the hospital.

The relationship between both families became strained, and they almost couldn't reconcile.

Jonah spoke with Javier one-on-one for half an hour in the room. Without his extremely strong bearing as a poised leader and oppressor, they wouldn't have been able to overcome this crisis.

Otherwise, they couldn't even imagine how far Javier would actually go.

Indeed, he did have criticisms against Jasper in the past, and their father son relationship was exceptionally tense.

But at the end of the day, Jasper was still his son. He was his own flesh and blood!

Even though he had gradually accepted the fact that Jasper and Alyssa were together, he couldn't accept the fact that his son had risked his life for a woman time and time again and ended up bruised and battered.

His eldest son, whom he once tried so hard to groom and teach, was now a disabled man.

Jasper was his remaining hope. He had long come to terms with the fact that he would get old eventually and that Beckett Group would have to be passed down to Jasper sooner or later.

The Taylors didn't see Jasper as important. They allowed him to get hurt and put himself at risk again and again. How could he tolerate that?

There should also be a limit to oppressing and bullying someone!

However, Alyssa wasn't aware of all these because the Taylors also hid this from her.

That was because she was already on the plane back to Cyrris when Javier was rushing to the hospital at Kontina.

Alyssa's private plane arrived at Solana City in the afternoon.

After washing herself up briefly on the plane, she changed into a plain, black suit. With a thin layer of foundation, she covered up her sapped look and restored the elegant and dazzling side of her that she used to have.

Yet, her pale lips and bloodshot eyes exposed the terrible condition and extreme sorrow she was in.

That said, she had to hold on as best as she could.

Landon was right. Jasper's efforts would be wasted if she became dispirited and crumbled.

It was yet another chilling winter day.NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

'Ms. Alyssa."

Sean stood at the bottom of the airstairs, the bitingly cold wind blowing against him. He watched as Alyssa descended step by step. Looking at her slender and lonely frame, he was suddenly overwhelmed by an urge to cry. *Sean, thank you for all you've been doing at home during this time." Alyssa forced a slight smile at him. "Don't mention it."

Sean quickly draped the coat that he had prepared over Alyssa's shoulders. Initially, he had wanted to add, Nothing is as important as you being safe.

But he didn't utter those words out loud in the end because Alyssa's most beloved person was still unconscious. The future was still unknown, so he couldn't remind her of her pain.

"Would you like to go home to get some rest first?"

"No need for that."

Alyssa inhaled the cold air deeply into her lungs to wake herself up. "I returned so urgently so that I could go to the detention center and meet with Jameson as soon as possible. I have something I'd like to ask him."

At Solana City's detention center, an electrical barbed wire fence was installed above their tall, heavy, and foreboding walls.

As bright as the sun was that day, the skies above this place were gloomy. It was as if a suffocating layer of fog had weighed down on it.

"This will be all the scenery that Jameson is able to see moving forward, Sean remarked through gritted teeth as he followed behind Alyssa.

"I don't suppose he has much longer to enjoy a view like this, either," Alyssa said in a frigid and emotionless voice as she continued walking forward.

In the visitation room, Alyssa sat in front of the glass divider on her own without any expression on her face. As for Sean, he stood in a corner of the room, keeping a close watch.

A short moment later, the metal door squeaked as it was opened.

Alyssa widened her eyes slightly when Jameson appeared before her.

At that moment, she couldn't recognize him as the person she had known since she was young. He didn't look like the boy who had clung to her and competed with her for half his life.
