Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1576

Alyssa's gaze burned with disdain as she confronted Dominic's pretentiousness, ready to speak her mind. However, Jonah's gentle touch on her shoulder interrupted her, his soft voice breaking the tension. "Uncle Dominic, Dad wants to see you."

Jasper stood in shock while Alyssa glanced at Jonah in surprise.

Dominic's lip curled into a smug smile.

Just as Dominic moved to step into the ward, his footing gave way beneath him, propelling him forward with a pronounced thud.

Dominic fell hard on his face.

Some of the shareholders who had followed him there couldn't help but laugh.

Meanwhile, Axel, who had been leaning against the wall, maintained his indifferent façade. He casually retracted his leg, which had obstructed Dominic's path.

Dominic, feeling the weight of his years, struggled to rise, his knee throbbing with pain. With a fierce glare, he directed his gaze at Axel, who appeared unfazed. "You!"

Axel let out a lazy yawn. "Uncle Dominic, you're not as young as you used to be. You should watch where you're walking. My foot has been here for the past 30 minutes. Why did you still manage to trip over it?"

Struggling to control his breath, Dominic felt his composure slipping as Axel's words cut deep, mocking his lack of awareness.

"Isn't my father sitting here perfectly fine? Your dramatics are killing the mood," Silas interjected with a touch of sarcasm, his distaste for Dominic's pretentiousness evident.

"Silas, don't be rude to your uncle," Winston chided softly, defending Dominic.

Dominic wiped away his tears, stealing glances at Winston. Despite his stoic appearance, Dominic sensed that Winston's illness was more serious than Alyssa had let on.

"Uncle Dominic, if you genuinely care for my dad and feel any remorse, please don't oppose him. Focus on helping him in managing the business. Enough with the hypocrisy," Jonah stated with a serious tone, his indifferent gaze fixed on Dominic.
