Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alyssa would no longer hear that soft yet firm voice saying, "Don't be afraid, Lyse. I'm right here."

"You're such a brat! You're already 26. When can I stop worrying about you?" Winston exclaimed in a rough and stern voice. Out of his love for Alyssa, even an experienced leader like him was on the brink of tears. "Jonah, Lyse's driving skills are outstanding. How did she end up in a car accident?"

Silas's voice tensed as his heart filled with concern. He looked toward a pale-looking Jonah. "I heard that she was on the way to the airport. The weather for the past few nights had been terrible. Why was she going to the airport on her own?" Jonah's eyelashes were moist. He felt like his heart had been pierced, and he was deeply aggrieved.

Silas noticed how terrible Jonah looked. Immediately, he questioned, "Jonah, what's wrong?"

"Lyse was going to the airport to chase after Julien," Jonah answered numbly. The back of his throat was filled with a sharp, bloody taste.

Silas was taken aback. His heart sank. "Julien went to the airport? Lyse then chased after him? What the hell happened?"

Jonah couldn't bring himself to say another word. His tall frame trembled, and he almost lost his balance.

Julien left. In addition, Alyssa got into an accident and was badly injured because of him.

He claimed to want to protect them, but in the end, he ruined everything.

Jonah turned around dejectedly and then stumbled out of the hospital ward.

Instantly, Silas felt that something wasn't right. He went after Jonah immediately.

Jonah stood with his face to a wall in the empty hallway. He slammed his forehead hard onto the cold wall again and again.

At the same time, tears were falling from his eyes and dripping onto the floor continuously,

"Jonah! What are you doing?"

Silas had never seen Jonah lose it like this. He panicked. He approached him immediately and pulled him away from the wall. He held tightly onto his trembling shoulders. "Tell me what happened. We'll figure it out together!" "Julien is gone..."

Jonah's forehead had turned red from the repeated impact. The look in his eyes was unfocused, downcast, and broken. "He broke up with me. He's gone." Silas inhaled sharply in disbelief.

...

In the hospital ward, Winston and his three wives settled down a bit after reading Alyssa's latest checkup report.

"Mr. Justin, thank you for your help. Otherwise, I can't even imagine what would've happened to my daughter if she had been at the hospital alone."

Even though Winston felt troubled

by that amorous sight he saw when he entered the room, Justin did help his precious daughter out, and it would be rude of him not to express his gratitude.

"No worries at all, Mr. Winston. Just call me Justin. I only ran into Ms. Alyssa because I was having a checkup at this hospital."

Justin's charming face was like a delicate sculpture. With an elegant and humble smile, he remarked, "Ms. Alyssa and I were destined to meet." Winston pursed his lips.

If Alyssa were single, there wouldn't be any harm in him saying that.

However, she was already attached. That was an uncomfortable comment to hear.

Alyssa steadied her breathing. She peered over at Justin, who also happened to be glancing at her with a warm look in his eyes.

As their eyes met, the atmosphere in the room turned really peculiar in the eyes of the Taylors.

"When we came over, we heard that the culprit ran off after sending Lyse to the hospital. He didn't even show any concern about her?"

Colene was furious. "What an asshole! Even if he didn't want to take any responsibility, he should still give us a proper explanation and apologize to us in person! "How could he escape just like that? This is a hit-and-run! Our family doesn't need his compensation, but he should at least give us an explanation!"

Mandy's eyes were still red. Through

gritted teeth, she said, "Lyla, just be grateful. If he were really an asshole, why would he send her to the

hospital after hitting her? Whaul ne

would truly be terrifying was if he ignored her altogether."

Lyla furrowed her brows. "Let's check the surveillance footage. Lyse went through so much suffering. We have to capture that person. We can't let him off just like that." Colene seconded, "That's right! We cannot let it go just like that. I'll have people from The Ivory look into it. They will find that person within three days!"

"Lyse, where's Jasper? Look at the

state that you're in. As your man why isn't he by your side?" Winston questioned anxiously. He knew nothing about all that happened before this.

He was indeed quite perplexed to see Justin taking care of Alyssa instead of Jasper when she had been unconscious for an entire day.

Suddenly, Alyssa's heart dropped. She forced herself to hide the pained look in her eyes.

Just as she pondered how to hide the truth from Winston, Sheryl pretended to exclaim in shock, "Mr. Winston, didn't you know? Mr. Jasper and Ms. Alyssa have broken up."
