Axel's pupils dilated from the shock, but he gathered himself in no time due to his professional training. The same cannot be said for Xavier, who was freaked out and screamed, "Oh, my God!"With steeled eyes, Jasper hugged Alyssa tightly and turned her face into his chest. "Lyse, don't look at it."He was concerned that the scene would only spook her out and exacerbate her fever symptoms. Little did he know that Lyse was undaunted after witnessing much worse horrors on the battlefield years ago.Far from feeling scared, she examined the scene with curiosity. At the same time, Axel grew excited at the situation. He opened the car door with a twinkle in his eye. "Damn it! Are people getting so professional now? Did he put on makeup? That was pretty frightening. I'll go check it out. If he's fine, I'll make sure he isn't!"Before Axel left the car, the victim got out of the car and ran away while dancing like a madman. Despite not being in the bustling downtown, the man's odd behavio

"Lyse is like Dr. House. She gets excited at the sight of corpses," Axel couldn't help but tease his sister."Did that guy drop dead just like that? By hitting his head against the divider?" Xavier grappled with the lingering fear when he recalled the horrifying expression on that man.Alyssa, having spent a mere few minutes with the corpse, suspected there was more to the man's death. She analyzed, "That might not be the case. Before he fainted, he exhibited symptoms of a seizure. "Besides, the muscles across his body contracted rhythmically while he lost consciousness. Epilepsy is a plausible cause of death, but we'll need to wait for the post-mortem report.""Epilepsy? People might think he overdosed." Axel pushed his tongue against his cheek, still indulging in the scene out of a horror movie just now. "I had experience dealing with some drug addicts when I was abroad. They looked exactly like the man just now when they were high or experienced withdrawal symptoms—zombie-like.

Jasper's family name and his good looks added to the pressure of the doctor who received him. The doctor asked cautiously, "Um… Mr. Beckett, what brings you here?"His shaky tone betrayed his nervousness, but he immediately assured Jasper with confidence, "Don't worry, Mr. Beckett. Our hospital prides itself on tight patient confidentiality. I will not say a word about your visit to me today."Jasper wasn't too concerned about the gossip surrounding his visit to the men's health specialist. After all, his loyalty and love for Alyssa was a widely-known fact.Although the speculations might sting his ego, it did not bother him very much. Given how subservient he acted around Alyssa, he could handle the rumors of his alleged "erectile dysfunction" if it happened."Doctor, I have a question." A look of trouble crept up his face after a pause. "Can a vasectomy potentially lower one's libido?""The primary purpose of a vasectomy is to prevent sperm from being ejaculated for fertilizatio

"Why are you seeing a men's health specialist? Something wrong down there?" Axel walked up to Jasper, a playful gaze traveling from Jasper's eyes to his crotch. "I've seen that thing of yours. You had an erection even when you were unconscious. It certainly doesn't seem useless."Jasper's expression froze in awkwardness. Was he supposed to thank Axel for that remark?Right then, a nurse approached Jasper and handed him a form. "Mr. Beckett, please keep this form safe. Do come to the hospital at 9:00 am tomorrow for the surgery."Jasper accepted the form with a nod. After the nurse left, Axel grabbed the form from Jasper. Upon taking a better look, he screamed, "Are you getting a vasectomy?"Jasper felt flustered at Axel's loud disclosure of his medical information in public. Axel, realizing he had been too loud, stopped himself and dragged Jasper to a quiet corner for a talk. He questioned, "Dude, what's going on?""You're aware of Lyse's condition. If I get a vasectomy, she won't

Axel slept in the guest bedroom that night while Alyssa and Jasper cuddled in their bed.Jasper let Alyssa rest her head on his arm while occasionally kissing her on her forehead, which was no longer hot to touch. Fortunately, her fever seemed to have reduced in intensity.Languid and flushed, she purred as she nestled comfortably in his arms. Her vulnerable state and misty eyes stirred a desire within him to conquer her, but he firmly refused to act upon it. The deeper his love, the more he needed to exert self-control."Did Axel… tell you any nonsense?" Alyssa couldn't help but worry, knowing that Axel took after Winston's foul mouth.He shook his head and tucked her in. "Rest early and get well soon. We need to get up early the day after.""Right. We need to attend Angelina's funeral." A pang of sorrow pierced through her. Her tears started to well. "The recent events are tragic. I really hope nothing of that sort repeats. I want happiness for everyone.""Of course, Lyse. We'l

The light in Jameson's eyes dimmed when he learned about it. "Make him wait for me in another lounge."After settling the other client, Jameson took some time off to join Aidan at the lounge next door. Right after he opened the door, Aidan, who was drinking alcohol to calm his nerves, shot up and rushed up to him.Aidan glared at him. "What went wrong? Why did people die from it?""Mr. Aidan, I'm afraid I have no clue what you're talking about," Jameson wondered with a calm smile, a stark contrast to Aidan's panic.Although no one else was in the lounge, Aidan made sure to speak in a whisper, "Are there quality issues with the latest delivery you provided for me? I distributed it just twice, and people had been overdosing and dying on it."Still smiling, Jameson brushed off Aidan's worries. "Drugs are poison. Isn't it normal for addicts to die from overdosing?""But I have not seen a man who went crazy and dropped dead after taking it twice!""Well, now you have." Aidan turn

Lily's Alzheimer's had progressed into the later stages, making Jameson desperate for the new drug to work in order to save her."Reach out to Chief Novak. Tell him to get someone dependable to clean up the mess.""Got it."At the same time, Jameson's phone buzzed. He immediately sat upright when he saw the caller ID. Taking a deep breath, he answered the phone, "Sir.""Did your experiment fail again?" Justin's resonant voice weighed on Jameson's heart. Jameson, though knowing that the blame fell on the research team, not him, still felt nervous when confronted. "Yes.""Oh, well. We have lots of ground-breaking work to be done." Justin's tone softened as if he was consoling himself. "But great idea there. I didn't expect us to get the Lovelaces involved in this scheme in no time. Jimmy, I was right about you. Looking back, I made the right decision to support and nurture you."Precious and distant memories flooded Jameson's mind at the mention of his nickname.The young and ad
