Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2238

This came like a bolt from the blue to Newton and Javier.

Even though Alyssa tried to conceal her shock, she was, in truth, as surprised as they were. Her dark eyes betrayed a flicker of doubt and judgment.

"Mr. Newton, Mr. Javier, allow me to explain," Sheryl said, stepping forward from behind Justin. Her eyes lowered as she spoke, her brows furrowing with concern. "During that kidnapping 18 years ago, after the kidnappers abused Mr. Justin, he began suffering from severe symptoms such as organ failure, nerve paralysis, and many others.

"Over the years, Mr. Justin has endured immense hardship in Mosgravia. His condition only stabilized after he tried out various treatment methods. He has to rely on an assortment of medications every day in order to keep up with living a normal life."

Upon hearing that, Javier's heart was pained. He sighed and mumbled, "It must've been hard on you, my son…"

Justin responded with a relaxed smile on his face. He shook his head.

Sheryl's face was filled with heartache. "Back then, Mr. Justin wasn't able to control his legs like a normal person because of his nerve paralysis. The organ damage also caused various bodily functions of his to severely deteriorate. That's why he would rely on a wheelchair to get around all year long…"

With an inexplicable look in her eyes, Alyssa fixed her gaze on Justin's legs.

Javier went up to him hurriedly. In a concerned voice, he asked, "Justin, how do you feel now?"

"I'm much better, Dad. Look, didn't I just stand up earlier?"

Justin smiled slightly. "It's just that I can't run or jump like a normal person can. Other than that, there are no issues in my daily life."

"That's great. That's great!" Javier was elated; with Jasper still unconscious, Justin's return felt like a timely blessing, especially since his health had improved so much.

Javier's mind started racing again.

The cloud of doom and gloom above his head finally dispersed a little.

"From what I hear, it sounds like I'm not very welcomed here, Grandpa."

"Not at all. Of course I'm happy that you're able to return and reunite with our family."

Newton maintained his composure and forced a smile on his face. "You are my grandson no matter what. I love all of you the same."

Alyssa once stayed by Newton's side for a long time. She understood him very well. His feigned politeness and insincerity were completely exposed by his current tone and expression.

From the start, Alyssa sensed a strange coldness in Newton toward Justin despite him being the eldest grandson, Javier's son, and his first wife. She even felt like Newton was somewhat repelled by him.

Newton had raised Justin from a young age, while Jasper was an illegitimate child. Logically speaking, his looks and talents wouldn't be inferior to Jasper's.

They were both Becketts. Why was it that Newton looked like he kept his distance from Justin, his oldest grandson, but doted on Jasper, who came from a lowly background? He even raised and groomed Jasper to take over Beckett Group, and put high hopes on him.
