Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 916

"Why were you there tonight?" Alyssa whispered, tears glistening in her eyes.

"It was all because of Nina. She bumped into me at Seaview Manor this afternoon and informed me about the meeting tonight," Jasper confessed.

"I went to the park because I was worried."

His concern was justified. Alyssa recalled the huge secret Nina had revealed before losing consciousness. Tensing up, she trembled harder. She hesitated to disclose the information to Jasper.

Instead, she touched the front pocket of her shirt, where she had stored Nina's broken phone.

Frowning slightly, Jasper removed his jacket and draped it over her, wrapping it tightly around her.

She stared blankly ahead without resistance. At that moment, her sole focus was on Sean and Nina's well-being, leaving her with no energy to spare for anything else.

She inquired, "Have the police arrested that man?"

"They've issued a warrant for him. The police and my security team have set up roadblocks across the city, including the roads to the airport, the train station, and the highway. He won't be able to escape," Jasper explained, breathing heavily in rage.

"Illegal use of a firearm, common assault, attempted murder… If he's proven guilty, he'll have to pay for his crimes for the rest of his life."

Images of Nina being shot flashed across Alyssa's mind. The anger was evident in her eyes. Taking a deep breath, she closed her eyes and covered her ears.

Jasper instantly recognized her behavior as PTSD symptoms. Feeling sorry, he gently enclosed her in a warm embrace.

He recalled Axel's strong opposition to the secret marriage between Alyssa and Jasper. In fact, Axel had nearly flown a plane to Beckett Group Tower and dropped a bomb on it.

Even though Axel could be hot-tempered at times, he could be principled and level-headed when discerning right from wrong.

At that moment, the doors of the ICU swung open. Alyssa looked up and rushed to the surgeon. Jasper closely followed behind her, never once looking away from her.

"Doctor! How is Nina?" Alyssa struggled to keep her tired, bloodshot eyes open. Her eyes sparkled with hope.

The surgeon's gown was stained with Nina's blood.
