Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 2244

Upon hearing that Jasper had regained consciousness, Alyssa burst out in tears of agitation. She lowered her small frame bit by bit, eventually curling herself into a ball as she trembled in the cold wind.

"Ms. Alyssa..." Tears filled Sean's eyes. His heart broke as he watched Alyssa.

Ever since Jasper fell unconscious, the days felt like years to Alyssa. Even so, the days passed by like a blur.

She was clearly still alive, but that bright-eyed side of her that was as beautiful as a rose could no longer be found.

She was burdened by too much pressure. She blamed herself constantly, letting the self- reproach eat at her continuously.

She was conscious but was gradually falling into insanity.

Why are you crying, my dear? Jasper is awake. You should be jumping for joy!

Newton comforted her over the phone. At the same time, he couldn't help but worry about her. "It's so cold today. Are you outside, my dear?"

"Grandpa Newton.... I am... I'm outside the hospital.

All the crying made Alyssa choke on her words. Her warm tears trickled in between her fingers.

Newton felt surprised and terrible for Alyssa. You're still outside the hospital even though it's so late. You silly goose! What are you going to do if you freeze to death?"

"Grandpa Newton... I want to see Jasper... But... I can't get in..."

"Oh, silly. With me here, who's going to stand in your way?"

Newton's energetic voice gave Alyssa a firm sense of security.

"Ben and I are on our way to the hospital. Don't stand out in the cold, Alyssa. Go in and wait for us. Wait for me to come and be your support. I'd like to see who has the guts to bully my dear Alyssa!"

In less than half an hour, Newton, being pushed by Ben in a wheelchair, arrived at the hospital to meet with Alyssa and Sean.

The four of them rushed to the VIP ward.

Beckett Group's bodyguards stood firmly outside the door. But with Newton around, none of them dared stand in his way. They bowed to him as they made way for the four of them to

enter.

"Jasper, my dear grandson!"

Newton stood up from his wheelchair eagerly. With Ben's support, he stumbled toward the

side of Jasper's bed.

Jasper's face was pale as he leaned against the headboard of his bed. His dazzling eyes were dark and vacant. Looking at Jasper, Newton couldn't hold himself back. Tears started streaming down his face.

"Jasper, it's good news that you're awake. That's the most important thing!" Javier let out a long exhale.

Even though he didn't shed a tear, he had been extremely worried these days. He couldn't eat or sleep well, and those long nights had resulted in the dark circles under his eyes. "M-Madam!"

Xavier, whom they hadn't seen in a while, spotted Alyssa standing stiffly at the door to the ward, afraid to come in. With tears in his eyes, he ran over to her.

He choked, "Mr. Jasper is awake. Hurry up and go to him!"

Before stepping into the hospital ward, Alyssa couldn't wait to see Jasper, so much so that she felt like her heart was about to explode and her insides were about to be crushed.

Yet, now that she was here, she realized she had become cowardly. She couldn't believe that she was too embarrassed to walk in. She didn't have the guts to face the Becketts.

Jasper ended up in this state because of her. Filled with extreme regret, she didn't know what to do, and there was no place for her to hide.

What madam? There is no madam in the Beckett family!" Javier roared, pointing right at Xavier's face. "'Xavier Hall! If I am to hear you calling her 'Madam' one more time, you will be fired immediately. We will never hire you again, no matter who requests it!"

Xavier bit down hard on his lip in anger, so much so that blood started trickling from his bottom lip. Only then was he able to stomach the hatred within him.

He wasn't afraid of being fired, losing his annual salary of 100,000 dollars, or losing his glorious title as the president's secretary.

Justin had returned out of the blue. Jasper, on the other hand, despite being conscious, was in a far worse mental state than before.

At a time like this, he had to stay unwaveringly by Jasper's side. He couldn't leave no matter what.

"Javier, I've really had enough of you!"
