Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2301

At this very moment, an angel and a devil were locked in a heated debate in Alyssa's mind.

"Alyssa, did you see what that jerk did? He's just a fickle-minded asshole who hasn't changed his ways. Just give up on him soonest. Don't stoop so low!"

"Lyse, you must not give up on him! Jasper only changed because of his brain injury. It's not that he wants to ignore you. Don't let your mind wander!"

"Heck, stop making excuses for this asshole's behavior. Even if he doesn't love Lyse anymore, he still has memories from when they were deeply in love, right? But he's pushing all those memories aside, spending his time with another woman instead. He's heartless!"

"That's not a valid argument. Are they not allowed to break up just because they once had something? And memories? Memories don't hold any real weight!"

Memories didn't carry any weight.

It was a frigid day. Alyssa suddenly came to a halt, letting the icy wind whip against her frail body and dry the tears from her eyes.

All the other voices faded away, leaving that one sentence echoing in her mind.

That was right. To Jasper, Alyssa was now just a memory-someone from his past. He had already moved on while she remained frozen in place, sinking deeper into her misery.

Lost in thought, she faintly heard someone call her name. But her mind was blank, and her body felt frozen in place, unable to move.

"Lyse, watch out!"

It was Justin's voice, breaking through her fog of sorrow.

When she snapped back to reality, a truck was speeding toward her, its driver blaring the horn in panic.

"The brake has malfunctioned! Move aside!" The driver stuck his head out of the truck's window and shouted at Alyssa.

Alyssa's chest tightened, but her legs felt like they were cemented to the ground. Panic surged through her as she realized she couldn't move in time.

In that critical moment, Jasper appeared, his heart sinking as he saw Alyssa in danger. Without hesitation, he ran toward her. But he was too far. No matter how fast he moved, it was too late.

Suddenly, a figure flashed past him, leaping toward Alyssa.

In an instant, just as the truck reached her, the man wrapped his arms around her, shielding her from the impact as they tumbled onto the snow-covered ground.

The truck finally veered off and crashed into a nearby wall with a sickening screech, its hood crumpling on impact. A faint bitter medicinal scent filled the air as Alyssa trembled from head to toe.

Slowly, she opened her eyes, and her gaze met Justin's. His deep-set eyes were filled with worry, and cold sweat dotted his forehead.

"Ms. Alyssa, are you alright?" Justin heaved as he asked in a deep voice.

Alyssa stared at him in shock. Then, she looked toward the wheelchair that had fallen to the ground not too far away. Her heart was filled with a plethora of emotions.

"I'm fine."

As she responded to him, she placed her cold, reddened hands on the ground to push herself up. But suddenly, a

sharp pain shot through her previously injured left leg, leaving her unable to put any weight on it.

"I'll take you to the hospital."

Looking pale, Justin picked her up in a princess carry and hobbled out of the courtyard.

"Justin, put me down! I can walk, Alyssa protested. She struggled in his arms, but he was carrying her firmly, not showing any intention of letting her go.

"Ms. Alyssa, you never have to pretend to be strong when you're before me."

Justin lowered his head and gazed at her deeply. It was obvious that he struggled with taking each step, but he still tried his best to appear relaxed.Please check at N/ôvel(D)rama.Org.

"You don't have to worry about me either. I still have this little bit of strength to carry you."

Alyssa's eyes widened, shimmering with emotion.

Meanwhile, Jasper watched them from behind, his lips slightly parted as his heart pounded heavily.
