The crowd was in shock. They looked at Alyssa in disbelief.
âMr. Beckett, are you saying⦠Lyse fixed the horseâs leg? Can a horseâs leg really be reattached?â
Victor widened his eyes in amazement.
âOf course, Mr. Victor. Donât forget, Lyse has another identity.â Landon hinted with a smile.
âOur Lyse is none other than the renowned and worshipped Dr. White! You should know this name better than anyone else.â
Alyssa was speechless, feeling that Landon was exaggerating.
âAh⦠Right!â
Victor recalled that when David had a car accident, it was Alyssa who performed the surgery on him.
Victor excitedly slapped his forehead.
âYes, Lyse is Dr. White! Sheâs the benefactor of our family! How could I forget this? Dr. White can mend any bone. Even if itâs shattered into pieces, itâs as simple as building blocks for her.â
Hearing that, Alyssa felt a headache coming on. Their description of her was becoming more and more absurd.
This was also why she liked using pseudonyms. She disliked being constantly talked about and bothered by others. She just wanted to do her work diligently without seeking exposure or caring about power and fame.
âMs. Alyssa is⦠Dr. White?â Ezzoâs pupils contracted in shock.
Dr. Whiteâs reputation was well-known. How could he not know?
âMr. Ezzo.â
Alyssa walked up to Ezzo and greeted him respectfully.
âAlthough Blazeâs injury existed before it entered the arena, I failed to detect it in time. Also, since it was forced to run, it led to the deterioration of its wound. I bear an undeniable responsibility. Even. though I reattached its leg, unfortunately⦠as a racehorse, it can no longer run carefree.â
Her voice choked, making it difficult to continue speaking.
Jasper felt like his heart was gripped by an invisible hand. His breath became stagnant in his throat, and his eyes turned a faint shade of red.
Hel He knew the pain Alyssa felt. Yet, he also knew that even if her body was in intense pain, it couldnât compare to the pain in her heart..
âWhatâs the use of saying this now, Ms. Alyssa? Blazeâs tragedy is still a result of your excessive competitiveness.â Betty sneered, shaking her head. âFor a racehorse, being unable to race is even more unbearable than killing it.â
âYouâre a Beckett. You should be careful with your words,â Javier reprimanded her with a cold gaze.
Betty tightly pressed her lips together, refraining from uttering the latter part of her sentence.
âMs. Alyssa, you mentioned earlier that Blaze was injured before entering the arena. How did this happen?â
At a crucial moment, Zeke asked the most crucial question. Everyone became intensely curious about the answer.
Meanwhile, Betty looked at Zoe. Though Zoe appeared calm on the surface, she was secretly clenching her fists tightly, feeling nervous.
Jasper didnât rush to answer Zeke. Instead, he ignored the attention carefully supporting her.
Alyssaâs face was pale, and the pain caused a thin layer of sweat to form on her forehead. The once strong and fearless lady transformed into an adorable kitten in Jasperâs arms. Her eyes were misty, and even her breaths were fragrant.
Jasperâs breath was hot, and his gaze was profound. The reddening tips of his ears exposed his current emotions.
Seeing this, Zeke frowned with displeasure.
