Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2284

"Is he still capable of performing in that regard? Lyse is someone who has received Jasper's love. Will she be okay with someone who's already teetering on the edge of the grave?" Cyrus questioned.

Jonah was speechless. "Justin is just physically challenged. He's not impotent."

Silas rolled his eyes at him. "Plus, there's something my darling says."

Cyrus asked, "What is it?"

"The way to test if a man is lustful is to see if he's breathing. If he's still breathing, that means he's lustful."

Jonah and Cyrus were at a loss for words.

"Is Justin a fool? Lyse is such a magnificent and attractive woman. I don't believe that he isn't attracted to her!"

…

Justin opened the lunchbox in the hospital ward and transferred some warm soup into a bowl. Then, he laid out a few delectable dishes on Alyssa's bedside table.

Alyssa faked a smile. "Thank you, but I really don't have much appetite right now."

Justin didn't say a word. He simply carried the bowl of soup in front of her.

Its fragrant and familiar smell wafted into Alyssa's nose. At that moment, her eyes lit up.

"Mrs. Rosie boiled this for you personally. She made those dishes too."

A slight yet gentle smile spread across Justin's face. "So, does this whet your appetite now?"

Alyssa's heart fluttered. With a faint hoarseness in her voice, she asked, "How did you…"

"Don't forget that I am also a descendent of the Becketts. I grew up at Seaview Manor. Mrs. Rosie was the housekeeper who looked after me when she first arrived at our home. Subsequently, when Jasper and his mother came, my father assigned Mrs. Rosie to look after Jasper's daily living."

Justin held the bowl of soup patiently. The look in his eyes was especially sincere. "So, not only did she watch Jasper grow up, she watched me grow up too. Based on our relationship, I am still able to request her to boil a bowl of soup."

Alyssa stared fixedly at Justin.

"Just treat me as a male nurse who's looking after you. Don't overthink it. It's more important for you to get back in good health."

Alyssa took a deep breath. She curled her fingers tightly around her pants under the blanket.

Right at this moment, a knock sounded at the door. Without taking his eyes off of her, he spoke up coldly, "Come in."

The door to the hospital room opened. The sound of heavy yet familiar footsteps traveled into the room.

Step by step, those footsteps treaded on Alyssa's soft and trembling heart.

Carrying a bouquet of pure-looking lilies, Jasper's stern face appeared in her line of sight, which had been misted over with tears.

Yet, in the next second, Alyssa looked away indifferently. She leaned forward slightly and ate from the spoon that Justin was using to feed her.

Jasper was stunned. Without himself even realizing, he tightened his arms around the fresh flowers he was cradling.

An incomprehensible ball of emotions rose at the back of his throat, suffocating him.
