Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1032

Alyssa rubbed her eyes hard and stared at Jasper's hand. She harbored a suspicion that Jasper's movement was an illusion due to her fatigue.

Still, she called out tentatively in a trembling voice, "Jasper? Jasper? Can you hear me? Move your fingers if you can. Jasper Beckett!"

"Lyse …" he uttered weakly.

His feeble voice was deafening in the silent room. Elated, Alyssa asked, "Jasper, are you awake? Can you hear me? Jasper?"

His pale lips trembled a little as he called out her name again like a murmur in a dream. Even in his dreams, Alyssa was the only thing in his mind.

As tears rolled down her face, she responded, "I'm here!"

Right then, he slowly unfurled his fingers and interlocked them with hers. Once a symbol of courage and strength, he had always offered her protection, but he now struggled with the simplest of movements.

"What … did you … write … on my palm?" he questioned.

Her face flushed instantly.

He pressed on, eyes full of anticipation, "I don't … want you … to write it. I want … to hear it."

"Yeah, it's my fault." Caressing her waist, he recalled the times she had begged him to stay and confessed her love while crying. Inhaling sharply from the piercing pain and choking on his tears, he mumbled, "I know you've never forgiven me, even if you confessed your love."

Love and forgiveness were two different emotions to begin with. Loving him and sacrificing for him did not mean she had forgiven his past deeds. He did not want to get ahead of himself, and he did not harbor high hopes that she'd put behind her resentment.

Closing her eyes, she flashed a relieved smile. "It's all in the past. Jasper, I have forgiven you."

Before Jasper realized it, tears had streamed down his face.
