Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1014

Yet, it felt as if Alyssa's soul had gone over to Jasper's side. All that was left was a beautiful outer shell.

Jonah let out a quiet sigh. He unbuttoned one of his shirt buttons and reached into his collar. He retrieved a silver cross, which he wore at all times.

"Give this to Jasper when he wakes up."

He placed the chain into Alyssa's palm and closed her fingers around it.

"Jonah, this … This is …" she stammered in surprise, her eyes reflecting a sense of astonishment.

"This chain isn't worth much, but it holds significant meaning to me. I've been wearing it for over ten years. Mysterious as it may seem, it has protected me all these years. Whenever I find myself in danger or get into big trouble, it has helped me get out of those situations."

Jonah smiled bitterly, but he had a burning determination in his eyes at the same time.

He continued, "Now that it has come to this, there is nothing else that I can do. It is all up to God. We just have to wait and see if Jasper is strong enough to get through this. As for me, I can only pray for him. I'll place my hope in God. I hope you won't laugh at me, Lyse."

Alyssa sniffled. Unable to hold back her tears, she started crying again, burying her head into Jonah's arms and sobbing like a devastated child.

"Jonah, thank you. Thanks …"

"Don't be silly. I'll be angry if you don't stop thanking me," Jonah added, affectionately doting on her.

Mixed feelings welled up in Alyssa's heart, and she bawled her eyes out.

"Lyse, once Jasper regains consciousness, you should treat him well. At the very least, stop making things difficult for him. Don't be mad at him anymore."

Jonah gently stroked the top of her head. He sighed, "He has really tried his best for you. I don't think I could have done the same as he did if it were me."

Once again, the scene when Jasper rushed to her and shielded her from the arrow flashed across her eyes.

"Lyse, don't cry …"

She closed her eyes tight, but tears continued streaming down her face.

…

"Would it be better if you were to take over in person? You were the one who operated on Jasper's brain last time, weren't you?"

Alyssa was at a loss for words.

"Play? I'll show him what play is."

Axel put his hand by the car window with a cigarette between his fingers. He couldn't help but mock, "He's a fop. Seems like the Harper family failed to teach you about that."

"Good on you for knowing what it means, smarty pants," Landon scoffed in response.

Landon simply pouted and mumbled to himself because he was Alyssa's brother. He would've lashed out a long time ago if it were someone else.

"In Mosgravia, Dr. Lovelace's medical capabilities are comparable with Dr. White's."

Jonah furrowed his brows slightly. He then asked in a voice cold enough to make anyone shiver, "You are also from a wealthy and reputable family, Mr. Landon. You should be able to comprehend that there is always someone better than you out there, right?"
