Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 551

After Jasper was discharged from the hospital, he worked hard for three full days to clear the backlog of work that had piled up. Given his unstable health condition, he relied on supplements and Alyssa's prescribed medications to keep himself going.

Apart from that, Xavier would apply the external creams and ointments daily onto Jasper's wounds.

With all the effort, Jasper hoped he would recover soon. Otherwise, he wouldn't be able to offer Alyssa any protection with his ailing body.

"Mr. Beckett, it's time to take your medication," Xavier announced as he brought the pills and a bottle of water on a tray. Jasper was in the midst of approving some documents and responded, "I'm busy now. Later."

"Um, if you don't take your medications on time, I'll report it to Madam," Xavier declared. "She reached out to me that day and reminded me to make sure you take your medications on time. I'll need to report any issues to her right away. She'll be upset to learn that you're not listening."

Hearing that, Jasper instantly put aside his pen and took his medications. Xavier nodded, feeling satisfied and tickled.

Xavier couldn't help but reflect on what might have been if Jasper had heeded Alyssa's advice during their marriage. They might have already built a family with children by now. The emotionless bachelor still had a long way to go in his pursuit of Alyssa.

"Did you keep an eye on Madam, like I asked you to?" Jasper questioned. He frowned at the bitterness of the pills that had spread in his mouth. He opened a drawer, unwrapped a piece of chocolate, and ate it.

The pack of chocolate was among the snacks Alyssa had left behind at Seaview Manor. When he had come across it, he had cherished it in his office drawer like a hidden treasure. In moments of stress or low spirits, he'd seek comfort by indulging in a piece. Oh, how pathetic was that!

"I did. I heard that Mr. Taylor's third wife, Lyla Nelson, is about to have her birthday party. Madam seems preoccupied with organizing the event at the hotel."

"Gosh, you have to give it to Mr. Taylor! He's quite the charmer, always getting what he wants. Women couldn't resist his help when they were at their lowest," Xavier remarked, stealing a quick glance at Jasper's reaction.

Indeed, Jasper tensed up after sensing the loaded meaning in Xavier's words. That was not the end of it. Xavier added, "I hope you don't mind my bluntness. Your ex-father-in-law sure knows how to handle women.

"Just look at him, living peacefully with multiple wives. Why couldn't you keep Madam satisfied? Would you like to meet up with him for some pointers?"

Jasper hissed with a sullen face, "Are you serious? Do you want me to seek advice from Winston Taylor on how to win back his daughter? What's wrong with you?"
