Semua Bab Can't Win Me Back: Bab 521 - Bab 530

Xavier, Sean, and Landon were shocked by Jasper's sudden fainting spell. Fortunately, they happened to be just outside the hospital's entrance. Without hesitation, Landon and Xavier rushed to assist the doctors and nurses in sending Jasper into the emergency room.Meanwhile, Sean found himself rooted to the spot at the far end of the corridor. He watched with concern as they wheeled the pale Jasper with blood-stained lips into the emergency room.Why did Jasper suddenly faint? Was it a ploy to gain sympathy?None of it added up. Jasper had seemed perfectly fine throughout their journey to the hospital until this sudden collapse."Mr. Landon, is Mr. Beckett going to be ..." Xavier clenched his fists, tears welling up in his eyes."He'll be alright," Landon reassured him. He glanced fearfully at the emergency room sign and mumbled, "Jasper will pull through. He's the toughest, coolest, and bravest guy I've ever known. He'll be just fine."At that moment, one of Jonah's bodyguards

"It's my duty to protect her. I would never ask for any reward or praise," Jasper remarked. He closed his eyes as a dull pain pulsed in his chest. "I am only making amends for wronging her in the last three years.""With your life?""Well, I can't make amends with money, can I? Do you realize how wealthy her family is?" Jasper's temper flared.Landon scratched his head. Right, Alyssa could afford anything with her wealth.Jasper's thoughts drifted to the memory of her pale face in his arms, which only intensified his heartache. He wondered if she was awake now and if her fever had subsided. He also couldn't help but worry if she suffered any fractures from hanging onto the cliff. She was all he could think about.Taking a deep breath, he clutched his bedsheet tightly as if trying to kill a budding urge.Had he truly fallen for her?His heart raced at the thought of it. His breaths grew heavy, and his cheeks flushed."Hm, why are your cheeks red? Do you have a fever?" Landon

Jasper, who had always been prideful and rebellious, went along with Alyssa. He rolled over just as instructed.Alyssa pressed her lips, surprised by his lack of protest. The huge area of bruises on his wide and muscular back now lay exposed before her eyes.At that moment, her eyes wavered. Despite her best efforts to keep her emotions in check, she couldn't help but feel extremely bad for him.He mistook her silence for shock and attempted to roll over again, but she pinned him down and ordered, "Stop moving around. I need to take a better look.""The doctor said the bruises would slowly go away as I heal," he remarked in a low voice. It was strange how he seemed to be trying to console her when he was the one who was injured."Like I can't tell," she fired back, annoyed.Her sharp retort caught him off guard, and he responded with a hint of amusement, "I didn't know you were such a firecracker when you were still with me. I am amazed by that sharp tongue of yours and your guts

"My dad once told me that a perfect relationship has to be smooth from the start. In our three years of marriage, I gave up myself to prop you up. I kept the relationship by compromising. What's the point of keeping this broken relationship? Why would I hurt myself by giving you a second chance?"Alyssa's words were piercing and damning. Jasper refused to lose her and reached out to hold her hand, but she dodged the move.He panted heavily and declared, "I swear I will not treat you like I did in the past. You don't even have to do anything. I'll pursue you."Her heart raced as she went through a whirlwind of emotions. Her palms grew sweaty, her breathing became erratic, and her heart raced in all directions. She scoffed at his suggestion. "You once said I was a shameless and deceitful woman. I'm not a prim and proper lady, unlike Liana Gardner. Why would you fall for me?"She sniffled and added, "Besides, I'm no longer the gullible and weak Alice White. Men are lining up for me.

"The durian is also soft inside and sweet in taste," Jonah disagreed. He playfully touched the tip of Alyssa's nose. "Doesn't that sound just like you?"She looked away, adorably feigning anger and letting out a snort. "Anyway, Lyse, you really shouldn't fall into Jasper's trap again. Men are all scumbags!" Liam advised Alyssa, worried that his sibling might reignite her relationship with Jasper."Except for me, Liam," Sean timidly stood up for himself."Me too," Jonah chimed in."Right, right. The guys in our family are pretty decent," Liam hurriedly added."Well, not all. There's this one old man who tarnishes the reputation of Taylor men," joked Alyssa. She crossed her legs.The three men exchanged knowing glances. Winston Taylor immediately came to their minds.…"I don't give a damn!" Mandy scowled when she was being asked to help Jasper. She had always yielded to Alyssa's wishes, but this time, she staunchly refused Alyssa's request for the medications."Mandy, listen
