"Lyse!" Alyssa's father, Winston, rushed into the hospital ward. With him were his three wives, Jonah, and Silas. At first, a pregnant Tatiana also made a fuss about coming over to visit Alyssa. However, everyone else forced her to stay home and had Sean look after her. Everyone's jaws dropped when they witnessed Justin holding Alyssa in his arms. The room was dead silent. "Dad…" Alyssa muttered. There was a quiver in her teary eyes. She struggled slightly in Justin's arms but could not pull away from him. Her face flushed red in embarrassment as she couldn't budge, making them look even more like a shy couple. Justin curled his lips upward slightly. In a relaxed manner, he got to his feet from his wheelchair and lowered Alyssa back onto the bed. Then, he tucked her in caringly. Everyone shot astonished looks at one another. Even though the Taylors were based in Belbanks, their status as one of the wealthiest families meant that they were familiar with the news about up
Alyssa would no longer hear that soft yet firm voice saying, "Don't be afraid, Lyse. I'm right here." "You're such a brat! You're already 26. When can I stop worrying about you?" Winston exclaimed in a rough and stern voice. Out of his love for Alyssa, even an experienced leader like him was on the brink of tears. "Jonah, Lyse's driving skills are outstanding. How did she end up in a car accident?" Silas's voice tensed as his heart filled with concern. He looked toward a pale-looking Jonah. "I heard that she was on the way to the airport. The weather for the past few nights had been terrible. Why was she going to the airport on her own?" Jonah's eyelashes were moist. He felt like his heart had been pierced, and he was deeply aggrieved. Silas noticed how terrible Jonah looked. Immediately, he questioned, "Jonah, what's wrong?" "Lyse was going to the airport to chase after Julien," Jonah answered numbly. The back of his throat was filled with a sharp, bloody taste. Silas w
Sheryl's words came like a bolt from the blue, catching the Taylors off guard. Alyssa shuddered. She curled her scabbed fingers around her blanket into a tight grip. "Say what… Jasper and my daughter have broken up?" Shock filled Winston's eyes. He couldn't believe his ears. Sheryl confirmed, "That's right. Your sons know about this too. Though, it seems like you were truly unaware." Lyla was on the verge of tears. She shook her head continuously. "That's impossible… Why would they…"Mandy trembled. She widened her eyes in disbelief. "They broke up? Why did they break up out of the blue? They share such a good relationship. How is that possible?" Sheryl blinked. A hint of maliciousness lurked in her eyes. "You shouldn't be asking me this. You should ask Mr. Jasper because from what we heard, he was the one who wanted to break up—""Break up my foot! He would never do that to Lyse even if someone pointed a gun at his head!" Colene blew her top and flew into a rage. She p
However, what was Alyssa going to do? Winston loved Alyssa the most. She was naturally someone who gave her all when it came to love. In this life, she had chosen Jasper. She wouldn't be able to get over this relationship. Yet, Jasper was no longer in love with her. It was devastating for the person who remained, abandoned in the end.Just then, a nurse knocked on the door and entered the room. "Mr. Beckett, it's time for your checkup." "Alright, I'll head over now." Sheryl held onto the handle of Justin's wheelchair with both hands while Justin excused himself politely. He said to Winston, "Mr. Winston, I'm sure that you have a lot to talk about with Ms. Alyssa. I shall give you both some space. The medical standards at this hospital are quite high. Also, I've arranged for several surgeons to come by tomorrow. They'll examine Ms. Alyssa first thing in the morning."If you can't trust them, you may also transfer her to another hospital. I can help you connect with people. T
Mandy's emotional cry reverberated down the hallway.Naturally, Remy heard her voice too. He was slightly stunned. His eyes met the teary-eyed, middle-aged woman standing a few feet away from him. For some reason, his heart felt heavy. Even breathing stirred up some unfathomable feelings within him. It felt just like that heavy feeling he had when he watched Alyssa, injured all over, crawling out from her car that had flipped over. "Damien… Is that you? Damien!" Even though Mandy was always a noble and composed person, her face was covered in tears at this very moment. She choked with sobs and had lost her composure. "Damien… It's me, your mom! You're still alive… I can't believe that you're still alive!" Mom?Dumbfounded, Remy stared at the woman who was approaching him. It was as if someone had put his heart on pause. His slender fingers quivered slightly as he pinched a cigarette in between his fingers. In the next second, the splitting pain in his head pulled him ba
"It's not a coincidence!" Alyssa sat up straight. Bright-eyed, she continued, "Mandy isn't wrong. There is a man who looks exactly like Damien! "I know him. His name is Remy Lexington. I interacted with him when Jameson held me captive on Rose Island in Kontina!" The Taylor family members were floored. "Lyse! In that case, is he Damien?" Winston queried urgently. Alyssa gritted her teeth and remained silent. She wondered why Remy would have appeared at the hospital at a time like this. There could only be one possibility—he was the one who rammed into her car that night. He was also the one who sent her to the hospital. Yet, the first person she saw when she regained consciousness was Justin. Jameson, Remy, Justin…Suddenly, she came to a realization. Terror spread throughout her entire body. A seemingly unrelated yet extremely horrifying thought popped into her mind. She didn't believe in coincidences. All coincidences were inextricably linked with one another, albeit i
The next morning, Jasper jolted awake from his sleep. For some reason, the shock caused him to break out in cold sweat. The air felt thin. He made his way out from under the covers and picked up his phone from the bedside table. He squinted as he checked his phone. To his surprise, he had over 20 missed calls from Newton. Ever since his discharge from the hospital, his head would throb every night. He wasn't sure if this was a side effect, but he had been having wakeful nights for the past three to four days. Last night, he felt that he wouldn't be able to take it if he went on like that. Thus, he took some sleeping pills, which helped him to fall asleep till the day broke. Jasper got up while massaging his sore temples. He was just about to ring Newton back when he heard Xavier's voice from the other side of the door. "Mr. Beckett, are you awake?" "What is it?" "Mr. Beckett Senior is here. He's asking for you downstairs." After washing up, Jasper changed into a smart
Watching Jasper being unperturbed, Newton slumped back against the couch. A disappointed look filled his eyes. How could everything get back to square one just like this? Even if he couldn't accept this outcome, how could Alyssa take it? In a deep voice, Javier prompted, "Jasper, you have your regular meeting in the morning. It's about time for you to leave, isn't it?" Jasper turned around without showing any emotions on his face and strode out the door. …Alyssa was still in a stage of recovery. She had been feeling groggy and had slept the entire morning away. She didn't even have breakfast or lunch. It was in the late afternoon that she gradually stirred.When she saw Jonah, Silas, and Cyrus watching over her by her side, her heart was warmed despite being badly wounded by Jasper. "Lyse, do you feel better now?" Jonah asked in a husky voice. He gave her bony hands a gentle squeeze. Looking at Jonah's face, Alyssa suddenly felt like he had weathered through so much overni
