Landon transported Jasper to the best hospital in Tsuluâs capital city as fast as he could.
Jasper was in a critical condition as he had suffered a severe injury and had lost a lot of blood.
Ever since Landon was young, he barely cried. However, he couldnât help but tear up when he saw how pale and weak Jasper looked as the medical staff pushed him into the emergency room.
He quickly wiped away the tears from the corners of his eyes.
âMr. Harper,â said a cheerful voice from behind him. Landon was taken aback. He then turned around in confusion and noticed a man dressed in scrubs.
âYou areâ¦â
He had a vague memory of him. It was the man whom Alyssa brought as her partner to the cocktail party at Berenike Hotel.
âIâm Julien Lovelace. You can call me Dr. Lovelace.â
Right after he introduced himself, he walked past Landon. As hel brushed past him, he said in a low voice, âI will handle your friendâs injury.â
âYou? You are a doctor?â
Landon stared at him with a gaze full of astonishment. âArenât you in Solana City? What are you doing here?â
âJonah called me here.â
At the mention of Jonah, the man with whom he had a love-hate relationship, Julienâs brows twitched.

ffrey had been apprehended, and news of his capture spurred utuâs military and police into action.
Now, all involved were captives within the country, stranded and unable to return to Solana City, much less accompany Jeffrey back.
No extradition treaty existed between Cyrris and Tsulu. Even if Cyrus were to plead with his superiors in Solana City, he wouldnât be able to secure assistance from the Cyrris police force.
The situation had become even more intricate.
Since they could not return to Solana City immediately, Alyssa was no longer in a rush. After leaving Shelland Island, she drove straight to the hospital.
She planned to watch after Jasper day and night.
Axel was in one vehicle, along with Jeffrey, who was tied up. Alyssa and Jonah were in the other vehicle.
Alyssa clutched Jonahâs hand tightly throughout their journey, and he gently placed her icy hand against his warm chest. His worried expression never wavered as he kept a close eye on her.
The color had drained from Alyssaâs face, a manifestation of her overwhelming anxiety.
He could feel that her palm was damp with cold sweat. It was as if he was holding a block of ice. No matter how he tried, he could not warm her hand up.
He called out to her softly, âLyse.â
She looked up, her eyes swollen and red, still brimming with tears.
She stared at him blankly.
She was still alive.
