Chapter 165
“Yeah, he’s not worth it.” Alyssa mumbled in a daze.
Landon inhaled sharply. He had a heartache seeing the shattered look in her eyes.
“Alice, why don’t we try it out?”
Alyssa’s brows knitted tightly.
“Take your time to accept me. I’m no gentleman, but I’m willing to try for your sake!”
At the very least, he believed he would be better to her than Jasper.
“Landon, I’m exhausted. Please don’t put me in a difficult place.” She glanced at him dejectedly.
“Alice. His breath grew shallow. He felt sorry for her.
“It’s late. I really want to go to bed. You should go home soon.” She shoved him aside and dragged herself into the bedroom.
“Are you
and Jonah a thing? What’s your relationship with him? Are you dating him seriously or using him to get back at Jaspery
She was taken aback by Landon’s pointed questions and curled her fists. “That’s none of your business.”
“I don’t see any trace of him in your villa. If he’s really your boyfriend, why isn’t there a pair of men’s slippers at the door? Why did he not leave anything behind?”
“I’ll repeat myself. This is none of your business. Stay out of it.”
“Alice, please don’t hurt yourself with silly decisions!” He pleaded bitterly and fervently.
She pursed her lips and left without turning back.
It took Jasper two hours to drive home to Seaview Manor from Alyssa’s house, a journey that normally took an hour.
He almost lost focus of the road due to his excruciating headache and the low visibility in the rain. He was close to getting into a car accident twice.
Back at the manor, he busted open his study door and swept the glasses and files on his table in a frantic search for pills. When he finally found the bottle, he swallowed a pill without water.
Despite taking double the usual dosage, his headache did not go away.
“Mrs. Kose, do not panic. Listen to me.”

Alyssa breathed deeply and explained clearly. “Go to my room and find a silver box in my bedside drawer. I have a set of silver needles that I treated his headache with. You’ll find a notebook underneath the box with the treatment details and the acupoints. You’ve learned a little acupuncture before, so I presume it isn’t difficult for you?”
“Yes Yes! I know acupuncture. I’ll get the needles right now!”
“By the way. Mr. Jasper has been hurt tonight from a branch hitting him on his back. He didn’t say a word about it, but I’m sure it is a serious injury. I have some creams and medical ointments in the drawer. Please apply them to his wound. If it doesn’t heal in a few days. bring him to the doctor immediately.”
“Got it. I’ve noted it down, Madam Alice.” Feeling upset, Mrs. Rosie wiped away more tears. Why did Mr. Jasper let go of a lovely woman
Like Alice?
“One last thing.” After a pause, Alyssa said with a sigh, “Do not tell Mr. Jasper that I called you tonight. Please.”
