Alyssa began, âYou kept the operation under wraps. I know Jasper well-heâs always been cautious, and he couldnât have leaked the details of his operation.
âEven if Jeffrey Snyderâs men alerted him after you and Jasper landed on the island, the enforcements who showed up should have been Snyderâs accomplices. Why would the military personnel show up.
with heavy weapons? Itâs so bizarre.â
âThatâs true. I feel that Inigo Montoyeâs men seemed to have come for me and Jasper instead of backing up Jeffrey Snyder.â Jonah held his breath when he recalled Jasperâs words. âJasper told me that he was 90 percent sure of the individual who sent the military enforcements, but we did not have the chance to discuss further because of the urgent situation.â
Alyssaâs eyes widened in shock. âDid Jasper meet with Inigo M before? Why did he reach out to Tsulian military personnel?â
Jonah shook his head. âNo. Jasper told me that someone in Cy was working discreetly with Inigo Montoye to assassinate us.â
Someone in Cyrris? Alyssa gaped at Jonah as her heart raced. Who was the cruel and powerful mastermind behind the plot who could mobilize the Tsulian military against Jonah and Jasper?
âIâve sent my men to run an investigation on Inigo Montoye from Cyrris. My guess is that some prominent figures in Solana City must have been corresponding closely with the Tsulu authorities.
Those names will be on my suspect list,â Jonah explained grimly.
Alyssa mused, âWhen Jasper awakes from the surgery, heâll give us the answer. Isnât he very sure about the mastermind?â
At that moment, Miley frowned with concern. Similarly, Jonah noticed Alyssaâs change and wondered, âLyse, you look pale. Are you sick?â
âLyse, did you-â
All of a sudden, the doors of the operating room swung open, and a nurse in blood-stained scrubs ran out, panting. She yelled anxiously,â The patient is suffering a hemorrhage. We need an emergency infusion because weâve run out of blood supply from the blood bank!â
âIâll do it!â Alyssa shot up without hesitation, but she soon froze when she recalled that she failed to donate her blood to Jasper when he was severely injured on the Luminara battlefields because their blood types were not a match.
Jonah stepped forward, offering, âIâll do it.â
Miley raised her hand. âI can help too!â
Axel wandered over with Landon and remarked, âWe can do blood, too. Thatâs enough blood for even a vampire, isnât that s They wouldnât mind donating some blood and even donating the organs to save Jasperâs life.
The nurse seemed cross because of the urgent situation and snapped, âAre you all Rh-negative?â
Upon hearing that, Alyssaâs heart sank, gripped by fear. The Rh- negative blood type was a rare group.
The hospitalâs blood bank did. not have sufficient supply to start with, and they were running out of time to get the blood from other hospitals, not to mention that the other places might not even have the supply.
âWhat? Does Jasper Beckett have a rare blood type? What is he, a giant panda? What a trouble,â Axel exclaimed and blabbered in shock.
Jonah chided him, âAxel, watch your mouth! Jasperâs life is at stake When everyone stood there helplessly, they heard a deep voice booming. âIâll donate mine right now!
Iâm Rh-negativeâ
âJeremy?â Miley gasped and covered her mouth.
She was close to tears when she saw her husband rushing toward them Alyssa blinked her eyes hard in disbelief. âOh, my God! Jeremy!â
Jeremy was no longer the same man from the past. Now, he was the esteemed president of Kontina. It was rash and risky for him to show up for Miley with only a few bodyguards.
