Can't Win Me Back Chapter 506
Alyssa opted for a mediocre-looking sedan for her drive to the park later that day with Sean's company.13 years ago, she had nearly lost her life here while searching for her mother's belongings. Supposedly, the memory should still traumatize her, but that trauma wavered in the face of her determination to be strong. Ever since that incident, all that changed was that Alyssa would pay the park a visit every year and hike around the area with Elijah Forrest, aiding any trekkers or hikers in peril.At first, the park rangers underestimated Alyssa, thinking she would go running back to her parents after a day's work and never return. To their surprise, Alyssa pushed through every obstacle without complaint, finally leaving a good impression in front of everyone.Sean looked at her from the rearview mirror. She was clad in full hiking gear, with no makeup on her skin. She had a robust elegance to her, like some determined huntress."I'll come with you on the trek, Ms. Alyssa. It w

"And who might this be, Alice?" Elijah turned to Sean."Oh! He-He's my cousin." Alyssa quickly made a white lie. The park rangers were largely oblivious to how things were transpiring in Solana City, given their focus was on the park itself. Naturally, they had no idea of her identity as Alyssa Taylor."Your family has quite the genetics. Even your cousin appears to be a fine man!" Elias praised.Sean blushed happily. He could accept that instead of "boyfriend"."The weather's been peculiar of late, Alice. A storm might spring up on us when we least expect it," Elijah said worriedly. "I'm truly glad you could pay me a visit today, but you don't need to come up into the mountains with us.""I don't mind. Did you forget? I got a community award for helping people up there before. They even called me a living Mountain Goddess!" Alyssa said proudly, thumping her chest."Hahaha! How blessed we are to have two great individuals in our midst!" Elijah chuckled fondly.Alyssa cocked he

"Lead the way!" Elijah said gruffly.Elias was concerned for him, however. "But sir, the weather might turn against us any minute, and you're already … ""Don't worry about me, I'm fine!""Leave this to Elias and me, Mr. Forrest!" Alyssa cried. "I've volunteered as a medic in a warzone before. If this hiker is in any danger, I can come to their aid immediately!"A look of shock and respect surfaced on Elias' expression."Well … alright then." Elijah nodded. He gave Alyssa's hand a firm grab. "We're counting on you, Alice!"…Jasper drove into Crater Mountain Park on his own. He had swapped for a less-showy-looking SUV, so Sean hadn't noticed his arrival outside the park.He soon parked the car and got out."Mr. Forrest? Is that you?" He called, dressed in camo for the hike. He looked just like some special ops team sergeant."Mr. Jasper!" Elijah greeted him warmly at the entrance. "The weather is not on our side today. What brings you here out of your busy schedule?""It's p

Just then, thunder sounded in the skies, followed by a strike of white lightning.It seemed to have struck Jasper to the ground, making his entire body numb and fixed to the spot. Only his heart remained tossing and turning in turmoil."How long has she been joining you on your hikes, Mr. Forrest?" Jasper inquired restrainedly as if he were suppressing some emotion."For the past three years now, actually."The past three years. That meant since the start of their marriage.Jasper's heart lurched once again. Bile filled his throat, flooding his senses.Alice … Alyssa …Jasper came to realize that Alyssa had been keeping that from him all these years, even though they were doing the same thing. While Jasper had his own reasons for his actions, he couldn't help but wonder about Alyssa's motivations.His head throbbed painfully. All these lies and secrets were driving him insane!"Oh dear. The rain's a-coming." Elijah glanced at the gray clouds gathering above the mountains a

"I'll pull her up!" Alyssa cried. "I'm lightweight, so it should be safe enough!"There was no other choice right now."You can't!" Elias cried, shaking his head. "I promised Mr. Forrest I would keep you safe! Let me go save her!"His team cried, "You know the rock won't hold your weight, sir!" "I'm not some prissy little miss, Mr. Parker. I'm a qualified park ranger, just like you! Now stay there and let me save her!" Alyssa then hooked a latch around the safety rope around her waist and slowly climbed toward the injured hiker.Unfortunately for her, the rain only added to the smoothness of the mountain's rocky surface, making climbing even more difficult."I'm here! You're safe!"Finally, Alyssa reached the injured hiker, quickly grabbing her by the waist."My leg … It won't move …" The woman's face was covered in rainwater and tears. She was so weak and limp that she could barely speak.Alyssa could instantly tell that her leg had fractured. She hurriedly tied the safety

Rain, rock, mud, and fog—those were the only things Alyssa could recall before losing consciousness.She had used the last ounce of strength in her lithe body to push the hiker up toward the patrol team. All she hoped was that the hiker would be safe and sound.Alyssa couldn't call herself a competent park ranger and wear her badges if she hadn't prepared herself for the risk of death. She wasn't afraid of it as long as it was a meaningful death.Frankly, she didn't used to be so brave. In fact, she used to whine and cry whenever her father and stepmothers tried to bring her to the doctor for a shot.She was 11 when she met him. That was when everything changed.His bravado and determination were like the lighthouse she needed to guide her out from dark waters. How he had intercepted danger to rescue her had permanently shifted her outlook on life.It was the first time she had witnessed how selfless one could be for another.Even if he had hurt her countless times after they ma

Alyssa had been raised by her three stepmothers from a young age due to her birth mother's early passing. Naturally, their habits, such as Colene's horse-riding, archery, and rock-climbing hobbies, assimilated into her own.Fortunately, those hobbies were a lifesaver, as she couldn't imagine how she would survive in her current situation without them.As Alyssa was about to reach the mountain trail above, there suddenly came rumbling by her feet. Rock and sand snaked past her hands. Another landslide was coming fast!"Damn it! Is this what I get for doing charity for all these years?" Alyssa yelled indignantly.The rock beneath her feet suddenly shifted and tumbled from its ledge at that precise moment, leaving her body dangling precariously. "Help!" Despair and fear washed over her.An immeasurably long fall awaited her below. She was going to die falling, and no one would ever find her.A tear escaped her eye as she shut them tight, awaiting her fate."Alyssa!"Suddenly,

It was as though Jasper was adrift in a pool of pure astonishment, and the fact that the ledge beneath them was falling apart only enhanced this surreal feeling. "Hurry, Alice!" he cried, resurrecting a name that had been dormant in his mind for years.Alyssa jolted in shock. The call of that name seemed to give her a boost of adrenaline. She was able to push herself up on the ledge at the last second, right into Jasper's arms.He held her close in his arms, keeping her safe.A thunderous boom echoed through the air.Just as the rocky ledge disintegrated and tumbled down the mountainside, Jasper deftly rolled aside, narrowly escaping the peril."Fuck!" he hissed in pain when his back collided with a boulder. The intensity of the pain led to an immediate outbreak of sweat on his skin."Are you hurt?" Alyssa asked worriedly, noticing how pale he was.Jasper shook his head, his voice steady as he reassured, "I'm okay."Alyssa heaved a sigh of relief, falling back against his che
