Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2272

Even though Alyssa's head was in a muddle, she continued mumbling Julien's name as she cried and begged him not to leave.

How could there be such a foolish woman?

Leaning against Remy's chest, Alyssa groaned in pain. Her tears soaked through his shirt. The warm sensation dispersed the endless wintriness in his chest.

"Lyse..." Remy blurted her nickname in a clear voice.

Yet, Alyssa had lost consciousness and did not hear him.

Remy held tight to an injured Alyssa as he trodded toward his vehicle.

He uttered her name in his heart once again. For some reason, a pain throbbed in his head. Intense emotions surged in his chest. He had never had this feeling before, and it was challenging for him to hold those emotions back.Content protected by Nôv/el(D)rama.Org.

Remy gritted his teeth as he watched the woman in his arms, who was bruised all over and bleeding from her head.

At the same time, his heart felt like it was about to shatter and end up a bloody mess.

Just like in Kontina, after Remy intercepted Alyssa, he sent her to the nearest hospital for emergency care. That being said, the difference was that he didn't leave this time. He continued lurking in the hospital.

In the wee hours of the morning, Remy stood on the hospital's rooftop, feeling the cold breeze blowing against his upright body.

"Good work, Remy, I'm on my way to the hospital now. You may leave." Justin's candid voice was as usual, and his crisp-sounding voice revealed his satisfaction.

Remy gathered his collar and lit a cigarette. Standing against the wind, he put his phone by his ear. In a deep and hesitant voice, he said, "Sir."

"Yes?"

"This time, Ms. Alyssa almost lost her life."

Remy clenched his teeth. In a low voice, he continued, "Was I too heavy-handed? After all, she's just a helpless woman."

Justin chuckled perfunctorily. 'Remy, are you feeling bad for her?"

Remy's pupils constricted. He answered immediately, "No. But I'm afraid that if I were to take action too tactlessly, there might come a time when I miscalculate a move and end up hurting her for real. Ultimately, Ms. Alyssa is also someone you care for, isn't she?"

Justin fell silent on his end. All Remy could hear was the sound of wind blowing.

"I believe that you know what you're doing, especially when it concerns her."

Remy knitted his brows together tightly. An inexplicable feeling rose in his heart. Justin's words were too cryptic.

"Do you know why I care about Alyssa?" Justin asked out of the blue.

Throughout all these years, Remy and Justin's relationship was just like a relationship between an employer and an employee. Justin would show him concern and interact with him, but he would never share his feelings with him.

Justin's heart was a deep, dark dungeon. No one could get close to him, and those who did would definitely be consumed.

"It's because my younger brother, Jasper, is deeply in love with her. At the same time, she's also in love with him." Justin laughed. His cackles were frigid and chilling.

"Her love awakened Jasper's ability to love. She's the light that rescued Jasper from his traumatic childhood and lit up his pessimistic life. Her older brothers became his friends, and her family became his family.

"The one and only reason is because he had Alyssa."

Remy spaced out. At that moment, he saw many figures surrounding him, both men and women. Although it felt familiar to him, he couldn't call out their names.

*Jasper was lucky. He managed to get what others couldn't even if they spent a lifetime trying."

Justin continued laughing. However, his laughter grew cold gradually, its sound piercing through Remy's eardrums like a sharp blade. "But what right did he have to get all these? Why can't I be the one who has all these?

"Sir..."

"So, I want Alyssa to leave him for good. I want him to be alone."
