Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2353

Looking at the sullen expression on Jasper's face, Xavier leaned forward.

In a serious voice, he said, 'Mr. Beckett, no one in this world stays the same forever. You have to be extra wary of Justin. When needed, you have to strike back! You can repay his kindness, but that cannot be why he is guilt- tripping or even threatening you!"

After a moment of silence, Xavier added, "No, wait. There's one thing in this world that I believe will never ever change."

Jasper lifted his eyes. "What is it?"

"The love Madam has for you!"

There was a slight quiver in Jasper's lashes while a strange ball of emotions surged within him.Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.

Three days passed.

Alyssa was transferred from the ICU to a regular ward. Fortunately, after being subjected to a full body checkup, she was found not to be suffering from any after-effects after she regained consciousness.

The only issue was that her frostbitten hands had to be bandaged up after medication had been applied.

She pretended to be relaxed and joked light-heartedly about her hands looking like a bear's paws.

Nevertheless, Jonah, who had rushed back from Mosgravia to watch over her by her side, did not find that amusing at all.

"Jonah, why did you come back?"

Alyssa tried to prop herself up so that she could sit up, but Jonah pushed her shoulders down. She continued," Where's Jul? Have you found him?"

Jonah's eyes glistened. In a gruff voice, he answered, "No, I haven't. I managed to find his whereabouts twice, but he left before I got there. He was hiding from me on purpose."

Alyssa felt terrible to hear that. Her brother had given everything for her and the Taylor family. Yet, the one thing he desired-to love a single person-seemed so out of reach.

The Taylors weren't cursed when it came to their love lives, were they?

"Lyse, you have really gone overboard this time."

Jonah's heart was filled with concern and a lingering fear. He gave Alyssa the fiercest glare ever.

"At the end of it all, Jasper is just a man. Why would you take your own life just because of a breakup with a man?

"When you lost your will to live, didn't you think of us, Dad, and our late mother? She has been watching over you from the heavens. Would she be able to rest in peace if she were to see you like this, in this state of not even cherishing your own health?"

Sean happened to enter the room at this moment. He felt bad seeing Jonah give Alyssa a dressing down.

"Jonah, it wasn't until today that I realized how strong you are. You are born to be a leader, and I really admire you for that."

Looking at her injured hands, a lump rose in Alyssa's throat, and her eyes turned red. "As for myself... I'm just a small fry."

Jonah knitted his brows together and shouted angrily, "Alyssa Taylor!"

"That night, I sat in the snow and cried my eyes out for a long time... There was this one moment when I really

wanted to die."

Alyssa hugged her knees and curled her small frame into a ball. She sniffled. "But don't worry, Jonah, I have gathered myself now. I've also come around. I have let it all go."

Jonah and Sean were shocked. They never believed that they would one day hear Alyssa say that she had let go of Jasper.

They were shocked and saddened at the same time. More than that, it felt like such a pity.

After that downhearted moment, Sean tried to liven up the atmosphere by talking about something else. He said, ' Ms. Alyssa, do you remember me telling you about meeting Steven and his future wife?"

Alyssa perked up. She hummed softly in response.

"Steven told me something quite interesting."

"Something interesting?"

"He said he ran into a prisoner when he visited Solana City Fifth Prison to provide legal aid a few days ago." "Fifth Prison?"

The sharp-witted Jonah picked up on this location. He remarked, "Those locked up there are either criminals on death row, those who have been sentenced to life, or heinous criminals who have been sentenced to 20 years or

more.

"The ones locked up there are despicable villains."

Sean added, "Not only that, even some criminals who are severely disturbed mentally are also imprisoned at that place.'

Jonah narrowed his eyes. "I heard that Zachary Dutton is also serving his sentence at that prison."

Upon hearing this name, Alyssa's eyes lit up a little. In a calm voice, she urged, "Sean, go on."

"Steven said that he was about to leave after giving legal aid that day when a prisoner in an orange-colored uniform charged out uncontrollably and pounced on him."

Jonah and Alyssa exclaimed in unison, "A prisoner in an orange-colored uniform?"

"In the Fifth Prison, orange-colored prisoner uniforms are meant for felons with mental illnesses. They are distinguished from other prisoners by the colors of their uniforms."

Sean blinked. "That prisoner knelt before Steven and clung onto his legs as he bawled his eyes out. He claimed that he wasn't mentally ill and that he had not murdered anyone either. He asked Steven to help him with his appeal.'
