Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1642

Justin kept to his word. Jasper received the drugs after one week.

Jasper, who was hosting an important meeting in the Beckett Group, was on edge.

When the meeting ended, he sprung up from his seat and darted out the doors like lightning.

The management was left at their seats, exchanging glances.

"What is wrong with Mr. Beckett?"

"Haha! I think he had to relieve himself. The meeting was so long. I wouldn't have held it in if I were him. His kidneys are such champions!"

"Not to mention his bladder too!"

…

Today, the KS Group had an important board meeting that required Winston to attend.

However, Jameson's drugs ran out, and Julien was taken away by the Lovelace family. So, Winston grew more helpless.

The effects of the drugs had worn off. He started feeling his body weakening. He couldn't stop yawning. His nose was runny, his head was spinning, and his vision was blurry. He didn't even manage to eat dinner last night because he had fallen into a deep slumber.

He considered his physical condition and was afraid he couldn't get up in the morning. So, he pushed this meeting to the afternoon.

Even so, the consecutive alarms were useless. Winston only forced himself to wake up after Neil, Alyssa, and the rest tried to call for him.

"Mr. Winston?"

"Dad!"

"Winston!"

Winston opened his eyes with difficulty and saw Alyssa, Mandy, and Neil looking at him by his bedside.

"W-What time is it now?"

Alyssa's heart wrenched when she heard her father's frail voice. She held his icy hand firmly.

"It's almost noon. Winston, you haven't eaten breakfast, so you shouldn't skip lunch either. Your body will not be able to take it." Mandy looked at Winston's gaunt face painfully.

"Noon? I have a board meeting later. I need to…"

When Winston got up, his head was suddenly spinning. He collapsed to the ground.

"Winston!"

Sweat filled Alyssa's head. She quickly held his father's wrist, looking for a pulse.

She could sense her father's restlessness.

However, she wasn't Julien nor a neurologist.

She was skilled medically, but she specialized in surgical procedures. At this point, her hands were tied.

"You silly girl… Do you think you are that capable?" Winston was nagging, but his eyes were reddened. "I will never retire this early. If you're asking me to stay at home and be useless, I would rather kick the bucket."

He wasn't obsessed with power. He wanted to work a few more years to lessen the burden on his children, so they were free to do whatever they wanted.

If he collapsed one day, every one of his children would need to bear the heavy responsibility of the KS Group, especially his eldest son, Jonah, and the successor he had in mind, Alyssa.

Then, they would never get back the carefree life they have now.

"No matter what, I-I have to attend the meeting today. No one can stop me!"

Alyssa was outraged.

Everyone said that it was a delight to have an elderly at home. However, Alyssa didn't think so.

It would be outrageous if she said it to Winston, too.

Mandy had a heavy and doubtful look on her face.

She had a hunch that Jameson's drugs were the cause of the changes in Winston's body.

However, Julien tested the drugs and confirmed that the drugs weren't poison.

So, were Winston's cold, headache, and lethargy side effects of the drug?

At this moment, there was a knock at the door.
