After a brief internal struggle, Alyssa decided to keep it a secret.

Right now, Jasper was filled with guilt and remorse. Of course, she was glad that he showed remorse for what he had done to her in the past, but she did not want him to risk his life once more to make amends.

All she wanted was for him to light up her life. The last thing she wanted was to burden him with more guilt. This was her subtle way of expressing her love.

Jasper's chest tightened when he noticed that she had turned white. Holding her shoulders, he inquired, "Lyse, are you okay?"

"I'm fine." She beamed at him. "I injured my finger climbing a tree as a kid. It's not a big deal and doesn't affect my life at all."

Nevertheless, Jasper felt sympathetic toward her and gently held her pinky finger. "Why didn't any of your brothers take better care of you?"

"They did, but I was a troublemaker who refused to listen," she replied with a pout.

He couldn't resist giving her a peck on the lips as she was too adorab

    Alyssa's sole concern was her father's attitude. Winston Taylor doted on his daughter, but he could be merciless to anyone who was not family.Jasper had been on Winston's blacklist for a while. Changing Winston's impression of him wouldn't be easy, but Alyssa decided to take it easy. No one could come between them as long as their love held strong.When Alyssa helped Jasper put on the necklace, her fingers accidentally brushed against his chest. She silently gushed at his toned physique that could seduce anyone."How should I thank Jonah?" He stared at her while tightening his grip on her waist.He used to enjoy caressing her chubby waist, but he was pained to see Alyssa lose weight due to poor appetite and insufficient rest when he was in a coma. "It's fine—Mmm—" Suddenly, she found herself enveloped in a hug, her mouth sealed by a tongue kiss. His tongue explored every corner of her mouth.After some passionate kissing, he reluctantly pulled away but stared longingly at her m

    "Don't you know me by now? I can be as unreasonable as a woman." Julien scoffed with a twinkle in his eyes."No need to distinguish yourself from them. Everything on you screams female, except for your sex," Jonah teased him with a rare easygoing attitude. "You'd make a cute woman.""Am I not cute now?" Julien widened his eyes."Nah, you're just pathetic.""Fuck!" Julien cursed. "Do you know how many are lining up for me?""Thanks for stepping in to help Jasper Beckett."Hearing that, Julien blinked his eyes, stunned.Jonah took a deep breath and reiterated, "Thank you for your great help. He couldn't have woken up otherwise. Saving Jasper is equal to saving Lyse. Jasper and I owe you a huge favor.""Don't bring her up! It makes me so mad!" Frowning, Julien confronted Jonah, "Why did you fly me in for the surgery when your beloved sister is the legendary Dr. White herself? Did you plan to humiliate me in front of the master?"That's not all. How could you all hide her identity

    After more than five hours, the private jet landed safely in Solana City.Jonah immediately had the paramedics waiting nearby come to send Jasper straight to the hospital."It's alright. I don't need to stay in the hospital," Jasper instantly refused."You … How could you do that?" Alyssa was infuriated. "You promised you would go to the hospital for treatment, you liar!"Jasper sighed in exasperation and hugged her tightly. "I'm sorry, Lyse. You can hit and yell at me. Just please don't ignore me.""I'm going to do just that—ignore you! You liar!" Alyssa fumed, turning her face away from Jasper even as she softened in his arms.Jonah was amused. The two behaved like fifth-graders.Seeing how angry Alyssa was, Jasper hummed before saying seriously, "Lyse, the most important thing right now is to take Jeffrey to court."Alyssa's gaze darkened upon hearing Jefrrey's name."Sophia doesn't know we have Jeffrey yet, so she won't be in our way for the time being. That's why we need

    "Ms. Zoe said she and Madam Lauren were schoolmates from middle school and had a pretty good bond during those days. She said she's had time to think about her past actions and said she shouldn't have been so selfish and reckless. "That's why Ms. Zoe came over wanting to talk to Madam Lauren to make up with her," Angelina explained."Do you buy that shit?" Landon snapped.Angelina replied faintly, "I didn't let her into the house.""So Zoe hurt you just because you wouldn't let her see Madam?"Angelina stayed silent."Hmph! Then all that she said about making up was nothing more than bullshit!" Landon took a deep breath to suppress his rage. "Zoe was looking to ambush Lauren today. She's so good at putting up an act these days you'd think Sophia adopted her!"Angelina smiled in exasperation."You've suffered much from being pitted between me and my sister while taking care of Lauren," Landon said with a sigh, feeling guilty.

    This was the first time in days that Lauren smiled.…Since Lauren hadn't fallen asleep, Landon wasn't going to let her off easily. Without even a shower beforehand, Landon hurriedly undressed himself while kissing Lauren, pressing her into the bed.Lauren's dainty lace sleeping gown was soon tossed onto the floor, leaving her naked legs shivering under Landon's touch.The sound of harsh panting and moans filled the room. The two lovers enveloped one another closely, both in heart and body.After they were finished, neither had the energy to shower despite being covered in sweat. They didn't mind, however, and held one another to sleep."I'm so sorry for making you wait, my dear," Landon said softly. He often felt like he owed Lauren deeply. People with autism needed a lot of companionship, but Landon was always so busy and unable to provide that to Lauren.Lauren nuzzled against his chest and shook her head."Don't think just because I'm the eldest grandchild in my family th

    Thank you for tending to the house these past few days, Rosie," Jasper said to Rosie as he stood before her with an arm hooked around Alyssa's waist. They appeared quite like young newlyweds who had just returned from their honeymoon.Alyssa and Jasper cleverly knew not to reveal Jasper's injuries to Rosie. Rosie was old, so it was better not to make her worry.Just then, the doorbell rang.Xavier entered with two large lunch boxes. He was sweating and panting."Mr. Beckett! I've finally gotten the food you had me order from the Nouveau Table!" "The Nouveau Table? My goodness! The waiting list for that restaurant is terribly long. It takes at least three hours of waiting."Alyssa swallowed a mouthful of saliva before complaining to Jasper, "Why did you have to make things difficult for Xavier?""Because you were craving good food.""When?""Last night in your sleep," Jasper murmured in Alyssa's ear before chuckling.Alyssa blushed. "I-It was just dream talking!""Thank you

It was a dingy and dirty place so dark they couldn't tell when the sun was rising or setting.He remembered being abused every single day they were held there.

It was a living hell.Justin, who was older than Jasper by four years, ended up stalling one of the kidnappers guarding them, thus giving Jasper a chance to escape.Jasper stumbled on in the forest without so much as a glance backward.

    Even without Jasper's presence, he was confident that the Taylors and the rescue team would have been able to save Alyssa. It became clear what the person manipulating Remy had been aiming for.But why had Remy let Jasper go at that crucial moment? Had he experienced a sudden change of heart? Or was he, in fact, Alyssa's brother, Damien?Jasper's mind filled with all kinds of thoughts. Before he could dwell too deeply, there was a knock at the door. Xavier hurried over to open it, freezing in shock when he saw who stood outside. "Mr. Winston?"Winston was leaning on Silas for support, his expression grim. "Mr. Beckett is in there, isn't he? May I have a word with him?" Xavier quickly stepped aside, gesturing for Winston and Silas to enter.When he saw the elder he respected standing at the door, Jasper struggled to rise from the bed despite his exhaustion. "Mr. Winston…" "You are wounded. Stay put!" Winston insisted, swiftly moving forward to gently press Jasper back down

    "Next time? There won't be a next time."Tears flowed down Alyssa's face, soaking Jasper's shirt with each drop. Her voice was quiet but steady, carrying the weight of her heartache. "Jasper… I'm drained. Sometimes, I think it might be better if you just forgot about me. It would be easier than this. Every time I let myself hope, all I get in return is disappointment."Jasper's chest tightened as her calm words pierced through him. Waves of emotion surged inside him, and a lump rose painfully in his throat.…It was fortunate that Jasper had found Alyssa in time to administer first aid. After rushing her to the ER, she slipped into unconsciousness. That being said, she was extremely lucky to have escaped death. Nevertheless, she needed to remain in the ICU for further observation. Aside from treating her frostbite, the doctors needed to assess whether her internal organs or brain had been affected.With the severity of Alyssa's condition, Sean couldn't keep the truth from Winsto

    "Jas…"Alyssa looked at Jasper with an unfocused gaze. Her breaths were shallow, and she was slipping in and out of consciousness. Mentally, she was confused. "Yes, it's me—Jasper!"Jasper's heart clenched as he saw the color drain from her face. Her body trembled uncontrollably, fragile as a leaf caught in the wind. She resembled the kitten he had saved as a child—frozen and alone in the alley that bitter winter night. A deep sorrow flooded his chest."Jas… per…" Alyssa murmured his name, her voice strained, her tongue numb from the cold.A faint, mocking smile tugged at the corners of her lips, and tears streamed down her cheeks. "It seems… like I am about… to freeze to death… How could he be here… He will not come back… He doesn't want me anymore…" Alyssa's vision blurred as her eyelids grew heavy. She began to lean, her body sagging to one side."Alyssa! Stay awake!" Jasper's heart was pierced, the pain unbearable as he saw the denial in her eyes. He forced himself to pu

    Elias frowned deeply; his worry etched onto his face. "We've been shouting Ms. Alyssa's name the whole way. With so many of us calling out, she should've heard us by now if she were nearby!"In a deep voice, Jasper said, "The wind is too strong, and then there's the heavy snowfall. Our voices are being drowned out. Lyse might not hear us at all."Lyse. Her nickname slipped from his lips before he even realized it."I'm just afraid she's injured—or worse, fainted. If she blacks out in this cold…" Elias trailed off, his voice heavy with dread. "On a day like this, she won't survive long. She'll freeze to death."The group exchanged uneasy glances, the reality of his words tightening their chests.It wasn't that Elias was being a doomsayer. Rather, this was the cruel reality that might actually happen. Crater Mountain claimed lives every year. Danger lurked unpredictably in the woods on the mountain—anything could unfold."Let's split up," Jasper commanded, his eyes fixed on t

    The snow was falling heavily, and the chilling winds howled through the night.Remy had no car, so he trudged through the snow alone, each step more exhausting than the last.His thoughts were consumed with Alyssa—was she still alive? In danger? And Jasper's unrelenting resolve to reach her, even after being shot and drenched in blood.Remy pressed his calloused, trembling hand to his chest. His heart hammered in his ribcage erratically.A sharp, searing pain shot through his temples, blurring his vision. He collapsed to his knees in the snow, his body racked with agony. The pain surged deep within him, and his eyes felt like they were going to burst from their sockets. It was unbearable.His breath came in ragged gasps. His hands scrambled for the necklace hanging from his neck—inside it was a hidden medicine box.Justin had told him that the medication in there could calm him down and relieve him of any pain. It would be able to save his life. But in his desperate haste, the

    As subtle as Remy's expressions were, Jasper still noticed them. A slight twinkle flashed across his eyes. He did not have the time to continue entertaining Remy. He clenched his teeth, turned around, and started running toward Crater Mountain. Nevertheless, he had barely taken a few steps when gunshots were fired at his feet. Even so, Jasper kept his eyes fixed ahead and did not stop. Just then, another gunshot rang out. It wasn't until a bullet hit him in his right shoulder that the pain caused him to stumble. He almost fell to the ground but forced himself to stay on his feet. It was fortunate that he was shot in his right shoulder this time. After all, his left shoulder could not be injured any further. Otherwise, his left shoulder would be left in complete disability."If you take another step, the next shot will be in your left leg," Remy warned mockingly. Yet, his gaze was firm and fiery. "Jasper, I don't suppose you want to end up like your older brother, living in

    A chill went down Jasper's spine. At that moment, staring down the barrel of the gun, one thought consumed him. It was the only thought that mattered—he had to stay alive to meet Alyssa!Jasper's mind raced. His gun was hidden under the driver's seat of his usual car, but today, he had taken a different sports car—one that wasn't equipped with a weapon. Panic gripped him for a split second before his instincts kicked in.The soldier within him stirred. Without warning, he jerked the steering wheel, ramming his car into Remy's.One of Remy's headlights was taken out and left rolling across the snow. All of a sudden, this prideful man was overwhelmed with anger. His eyes reddened with a strong sense of competitiveness, compelling him to pull the trigger. A shot rang out. The bullet sliced through the cold air, shattering Jasper's car window.From the very beginning, Remy hadn't intended to take Jasper's life. All Justin told him to do was to stop Jasper from meeting with Alys

    "Jasper, you are such a jerk. If anything bad happens to Ms. Alyssa, you will surely regret it. You will live in regret your entire life!" Sean yelled. …The temperature tonight was -4 degrees Fahrenheit. The snowstorm in the woods on the mountain was getting stronger and stronger. The winds were freezing and bone-piercing as they blew against Alyssa's face. Trees swayed dramatically in the screeching winds, creating an inexplicable creepy atmosphere that added a feeling of desolation to Alyssa's sorrowful and depressive mood. She braved the bone-piercing winds and faced the heavy snowfall. With the help of her trekking pole, she plodded forward one step at a time. She did not have a destination in mind. She did not know where she was heading. Her heart had shattered, and she was beside herself. The decreasing temperatures discouraged her and made her lose all her motivation. For someone who had lost their willpower, being in the woods under extreme weather conditions wa

    "Mr. Jasper, why do you say so?" Sheryl lifted her head and looked into Jasper's reddened eyes. She furrowed her brows and laughed out loud. "White Dove is from Solana City. This is also something that I wasn't able to predict. If I had known, I wouldn't have gotten you to make a trip here in vain, would I?" Sheryl was no longer that conniving bitch who used to act coy. Now, she had a powerful person backing her up. Jasper's violent rage did not scare her at all. "Why the hell didn't you say anything earlier?" Xavier marched forward furiously. He was even more inclined to serve her a slap. "Did you know that Mr. Beckett had an important date with Madam today? He only rushed her because of your stupid lead! Right now, you're telling us that White Dove isn't in Skydon but Solana City? What the heck are you scheming? Were you trying to ruin Mr. Beckett and Madam's date intentionally?" "Madam?
