Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2243

"No, I can't. Not yet. Justin took a sip of his tea. His gaze was as deep as treacherous undercurrents. 'According to my calculations, Jasper should be waking up soon.

"He has Ms. Alyssa and a bunch of reliable friends helping him out by his side. He might actually be able to get through this hurdle.

Sheryl leaned in toward Justin. In a low voice, she whispered, "So, you're saying...

"I heard that Ms. Alyssa has a 'sister-in-law who's quite capable. I heard that he's a neurologist?

Sheryl was taken aback. "You're referring to... the Lovelace family's youngest son, Julien Lovelace?'

Justin lowered his eyes and drank his tea. In a cold voice, he said, "This person cannot stay in Ms. Alyssa's team. He cannot remain by Jasper's side."

Remy perked up instantly. 'Shall I get to work?"

"Murder is not the only way to make someone leave." Justin played with his tea cup with the tip of his finger. With a smirk on his face, he explained, "We can achieve the same results by breaking his heart."

After Javier brought Jasper back to Solana City, he secretly sent him to a high-end private hospital to continue his treatment. He also ordered that other than their family, no one, especially the Taylors, be allowed to visit.

Each day, Alyssa waited outside the hospital's main entrance. She waited from dawn until dusk and then until dawn again.

After a heavy rain, the weather got colder.

Looking at the hospital's brightly lit windows, she couldn't tell which window belonged to the room where Jasper was peacefully asleep.

Clouds of her breath could be seen as she exhaled onto her reddened hands. Her face and ears had also turned completely red from the cold.

"Ms. Alyssa, go wait in the car. You've been standing outside for a really long time, Sean urged as he handed her a cup of hot coffee. His heartache could be seen through his eyes.

"In the past, Jasper often stood outside my door and waited for me, just like this. He did it so many times."

Alyssa's eyes welled up. A slight smile came across her face. "This time, let it be my turn to wait for him."

Sean lowered his head. He didn't know how to console her. It was as if anything he said would be useless in expressing what he wanted to say.

He knew that Alyssa really wanted to do something for Jasper. Yet, because she couldn't get close to him, she could only wait helplessly and anxiously like this as she prayed.

It felt like she was reliving the suffering Jasper endured while pursuing her.

Did they really have to go through this?

This was too cruel.

At this moment, Sean's phone rang. He pulled it out and answered it.

A moment later, his shoulders jerked in shock. Staring at Alyssa, he exclaimed, "Oh no! Ms. Alyssa, Jameson had a heart attack and died while he was in the detention center! Rigor mortis already set in by the time his body was discovered by a prison guard."

"What... did you just say?" Alyssa's pupils constricted suddenly.

A heart attack?

He threw up blood every day while they were on Rose Island. Even so, he was still able to survive. It has only been a few days since he was transferred to be detained in Solana City, but he ended up dying in the detention center.

Did this make sense? Was this possible?

Nevertheless, Alyssa didn't have time to think much about it before they received another call. It was from Newton.

"Grandpa Newton!" she answered immediately, exhaling a misty cloud of anxiousness as she spoke.

"Alyssal Jasper... Jasper.. He's awake!"
