Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2209

What terrified Jasper even more was that the timeline of the hunt for Felicity perfectly aligned with the ages of Jonah and his four brothers.

When too many coincidences occur, they might not be coincidences at all.

Adding to the unease, Anthony had summoned Jonah—whom he had never met before—into the palace out of nowhere. He treated Jonah with unusual warmth, even gifting him a personal artifact.

"Jonah, when you met His Royal Highness at the palace, was Her Royal Highness there as well?" Jasper suddenly inquired.

Jonah shook his head. "Nope. Her Royal Highness never showed up."

"How about the prince?"

"I heard the prince's health isn't good. A few years back, he could still attend meetings with political leaders, state visits, and charity events with His Royal Highness. But last year, he became bedridden. He had turned down all his duties to focus on recovery. I didn't get the chance to meet him."

What kind of illness had kept him bedridden for two whole years? It had to be something incurable.

Seeing Jasper's grave expression, Jonah's curiosity grew. "Why are you asking this all of a sudden, Jasper?"

Jasper's thoughts were in disarray. He tightened his grip on the emerald ornament in his hand. An overwhelming surge of emotions welled up in his chest. What he was about to uncover felt like a truth that could shatter the entire Taylor family—a revelation as grave as any state secret.

The pieces of the puzzle fit together too perfectly.

He wanted to believe these were just coincidences. But he stuttered, unable to convince himself to accept something so implausible. "It's nothing, Jonah. I must be a little slow from lack of sleep these past few days."

"This matter is of utmost importance. Ensure it remains confidential, especially from the Queen."

Anthony lowered his gaze, staring intently at the photo of him and Jonah on his phone screen. Outwardly, he appeared calm. But inside, he was burning with hope.

"Rest assured."

The secretary hesitated, then stepped forward and spoke softly. "He does resemble you, especially when you're side by side."

Brimming with a plethora of emotions, Anthony blinked. His eyes were reddened. With a warm smile, he said, "I think so too."
