Can't Win Me Back



It was no wonder Axel hadn't been around recently. It turned out that he had accompanied Amber for her plastic surgery.

"I found one of the best plastic surgeons in the world," Axel said.

He walked over and stood next to Amber. They gazed deeply into each other's eyes, as if all they could see was one another.

He explained, "Initially, we wanted to restore her original face completely. But the previous procedures she had undergone had changed her face so much, even altering her bone structure. Because of that, even the best surgeon could only restore about 80% of her original look."

Alyssa exclaimed in surprise, 'Oh my word... She's already so gorgeous at 80%. Wouldn't she be a goddess at 100 %?"NôvelDrama.Org © 2024.

Everyone laughed, turning the atmosphere into a livelier one.

"It's okay if my original face can't be restored," Amber said with a bright smile. "I'm just happy to have a fresh start."

Her new look wasn't as strikingly beautiful as before, but it exuded a gentle elegance. Her face now radiated enthusiasm and warmth-qualities that had been rare for her in the past.

"Honestly, I love you no matter how you look," Axel said softly. "You don't have to go through all this. It hurts me to see you endure surgery." He gently kissed her. "But I respect your choices. Whatever you want, I'll support you."

Tears welled up in Amber's eyes as she tiptoed to kiss him back. Even though it was winter, the spring she'd waited for over a decade had finally arrived.

With Sean's help, Alyssa got into the car. They had just pulled away when her phone rang.

"Mrs. Rosie!" she answered cheerfully.

Ever since returning to Cyrris, Alyssa had been reluctant to reach out to Rosie, worried she might burden her with anxiety, especially given her relationship with Jasper.

Madam, are you still in the hospital?" Rosie asked, her voice filled with concern.

"I just got discharged today. Don't worry. I'm doing well."

"Madam..." Rosie paused. In a low voice, she asked, 'Have you... Have you met with Mr. Justin?"

Alyssa tensed up at the mention of Justin. She answered, "I have. He has been recuperating in the hospital ward right next to mine and visiting me frequently during my stay at the hospital."

Rosie hesitated. "I see..."

"Mrs. Rosie, is there something you wanted to say?"

"Madam, could you come to your house in Solana City? I have something to discuss with you."

Alyssa's Rolls-Royce pulled up the front of the private manor.

Given her limited mobility and the emotional weight of returning to the place she and Jasper had once shared, Alyssa decided not to get out of the car. Instead, she asked Rosie to meet her inside the vehicle.

Soon, Rosie hurried out of the manor and joined Alyssa in the car.

"I've missed you so much, ma'am!" Rosie said as they embraced.

Alyssa smiled tenderly at her. "Me too."

After exchanging a few kind words, Alyssa's expression grew serious. 'Mrs. Rosie, is this urgent because of Mr. Justin?"

Rosie's face turned grim, and she nodded firmly, her brows furrowing with worry. "Madam... Mr. Justin watched over you in the hospital, and he even asked me to make soup for you. What are his intentions?"

Sean scoffed. "Isn't it obvious? What else could he want other than to pursue Ms. Alyssa?"

Rosie gripped Alyssa's hand tightly, her worry evident. "Madam, you mustn't get involved with him. In fact, you shouldn't even get close to him!"

Alyssa's curiosity was piqued. "Mrs. Rosie, is there something wrong with Mr. Justin?"

Rosie hesitated, clearly conflicted. But for Alyssa's safety, she finally blurted, 'I think... he's mentally unstable!"
