Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2239

Even considering Justin's health, Newton's actions seemed extreme. When he heard that Justin's condition had improved, there was no sign of relief on Newton's face. Instead, he looked anxious and fearful.

What was Newton afraid of?

Was he worried that Justin's return would jeopardize Jasper's place as the heir?

Newton still controlled a third of Beckett Group's shares and held key businesses. Jasper also owned shares and was the acting president. Even if Javier favored Justin, it wouldn't be easy for Justin to take over the company, would it?

As someone seasoned and used to upheavals, what was Newton afraid of?

Justin remained in his wheelchair as he left the hospital. Sheryl and his bodyguard helped him into his luxury Bentley. Just as the car began to move, Alyssa suddenly rushed out and grabbed the window as it rolled up.

Justin's bodyguard hit the brakes immediately. Sheryl, startled, glared at Alyssa's cold expression. "Ms. Alyssa, why would you throw yourself at someone's car like that? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"

Justin raised his hand, signaling Sheryl to stay silent. He smiled warmly at Alyssa. "Is there something you wanted to talk about, Ms. Alyssa?"

Alyssa ran her tongue over her teeth. "I do."

Sheryl and the bodyguard stepped out while Justin invited Alyssa into the car.

Inside was a faint scent of medicine mixed with a light fragrance. Alyssa frowned. The scent stirred something uncomfortable inside her; it was a somewhat familiar scent. However, the smell vanished almost as soon as it reached her, leaving her no time to place where she'd encountered it before.

"Go ahead, Ms. Alyssa." Justin's voice was low, and he turned his face to her.

"Justin, you've lived in Mosgravia for so many years. To treat yourself, I'm sure you've interacted closely with many pharmaceutical companies and medical facilities, right?" Alyssa inquired in a low voice.

Justin nodded. "I've had my share of interactions. When your father had his stroke previously, Jasper even flew to Mosgravia to ask me for his medication."

"I'm sure you've heard of RC Biotechnology Research Institute. They're quite reputable in Mosgravia's pharmaceutical industry."Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Justin's gaze deepened, his dark eyes gleaming in the dim light of the car. "I've heard of them."

"In that case, I'd like to get your help.' Alyssa took out Jasper's blood test results, which she had been carrying. and handed them to Justin.

*Jasper is unconscious due to a drug he ingested. We've identified that the drug contains several banned substances. None of the medications here match its composition, so I suspect it's an illegal substance from overseas.

"I've heard about RC from Jameson more than once. RC's base is in Mosgravia, so I believe this drug came from them.

*Justin, you saved Jasper's life during the kidnapping, and now you've returned for him. I can see that you and Jasper share a deep bond. You want him to wake up, don't you?"

Staring at Alyssa's exquisite-looking face, Justin's voice turned hoarse without him even realizing it. "Even though we're only half brothers, Jasper and I grew up together. Of course I'd hope for him to be well. It's not just for his sake, but yours too."

There was a hint of affection in his voice that sent a chill down Alyssa's spine. She instinctively avoided his foggy gaze.

"If Jasper never regains consciousness, will his pampered rose wither away?" Justin asked.

"I'm not a rose, so I will never wither."
