Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1402

In the dingy old neighborhood, several police cars and an ambulance converged. The local residents looked on cautiously, having heard that there had been a break-and-entering.

Worried, Cyrus had his men send the killer back to the station before going to the hospital in the ambulance with Xavier and Maggie. Cyrus also notified Alyssa and Jasper of what happened.

The medics had strapped an oxygen mask on Maggie's face. Her body had passed out from shock after being asphyxiated. Now that the blood had stopped rushing to her face, her skin appeared stark white.

"You… You have to be okay, Maggie," Xavier said worriedly. He could care less about how injured he was right now. He kept on checking up on Maggie's condition, holding onto her hand.

"Her vitals have stabilized, so there's no need to worry anymore," Cyrus consoled him. He could tell that Xavier's concern for Maggie extended beyond her role as a key witness in the case against David Schmidt.

"Why… Why were you guys on the scene so suddenly?" Xavier asked curiously after calming himself down.

"Lyse had me come over to check up on Maggie and her mother as well as talk some sense into her about letting Maggie be a witness. Maggie is still underage, after all, and this is an important matter. It's only right to inform Maggie's mother about it. Lyse also thought Maggie's mother might find the police more trustworthy."

Cyrus couldn't imagine what would've happened if he had come a second later. His expression was cold and stern. "Who knew this would happen? Looks like someone has grown impatient."

Xavier was stunned.

Jasper had sent him, whereas Alyssa had sent Cyrus. Though neither Jasper nor Alyssa had discussed this, their thoughts and intentions were still aligned!

Xavier had heard about couples looking similar before but not about thinking similarly!

Cold sweat beaded on Xavier's back as he stayed silent.

He would need to remind Jasper once Jasper married into the Taylor family to never fight with Alyssa. Jasper would need to take great caution before doing things. Otherwise, he might end up losing his own life.

"When Jonah realized Lyse and I was gifted when it came to working with blades, he graciously gifted us each a butterfly knife." Cyrus gazed at the delicately crafted blade, his smile deepening.

He continued, "Lyse is far more skilled than I am. I usually don't use it, nor do I have the heart to. But the situation earlier was an emergency. Using my pistol in a neighborhood would only cause chaos, so I had no choice but to use this blade. Luckily, my skills haven't really deteriorated."

Xavier gaped in shock.
