Finally, Mandy handed Alyssa the two medications, one for internal injuries and the other for external wounds, both developed by Lovelace Pharmaceuticals.
The next day, Alyssa tasked Sean to deliver the drugs to Jasper.
Weirdly, Jasper had his pride in front of his romantic rival and refused to show his weak side. When he noticed that Sean arrived alone, his disappointment swelled as he had hoped to see Alyssa.
In an instant, his high spirits crumbled. âWhere is she?â
He leaned his stocky body against the headboard. He looked pitiful, with a hint of loneliness etched between his brows.
None of it mattered when Alyssa wasnât there for his pity party.
âMs. Alyssa is busy. She wanted me to deliver these to you,â Sean answered.
Placing the package of rare medications by the headboard, he cast a chilly glance at Jasperâs pale face.
âShe mentioned that the external injury medication should be applied thrice a day, while the one for internal injury should be applied once a day.
âIâll send you a new batch of medications half a month later. Theyâre like targeted drugs and will help curb the symptoms.
âHowever, taking the medications also leads to side effects such as nausea and dizziness. The symptoms vary from person to person.
âLet her know immediately if you have a strong reaction to the medications. Got it?â
Throughout Seanâs explanation, Jasper remained silent.
âThose medications sound quite potent. Will it affect the patientâs health?â Xavier mumbled doubtfully.
He was concerned about the side effects but hesitated to voice his worry too strongly, given that the medications came from Alyssa.
âIf heâs worried about adverse effects, he can choose not to take them. The decision is entirely up to him.
Thatâs it.â
With that, Sean was ready to leave.
âI will not take the medications,â Jasper suddenly declared, causing Sean to whirl around.
Sean exclaimed, âYou wonât? What do you mean?â
Alyssa had specifically ordered Sean to ensure that Jasper took the medication on time, or he would suffer from health consequences.
Surprisingly, that bastard told Sean that he had no intention to take the medications. Sean now worried that he might not complete the mission.
âI will not take them unless Alyssa sees me.â Jasper gazed down and coughed feebly. âI saved her life 13 years ago and did it again. Even if she hates me after the divorce, Iâm still her savior. She canât just dismiss me like this.â
âJasper Beckett, you-â Sean began, intending to accuse Jasper of selfishness, but Jasper interrupted him.
âI need her to take care of me this time,â Jasper demanded.
Take care of him?
Seanâs eyes reddened with anger, and his knuckles turned white. Among everyone else, Jasper was the last person who had the right to demand anything from Alyssa. He was truly shameless.
âThatâs right! Mr. Beckett has endured a lot over the years to save Ms. Alyssa,â Xavier chimed in. He might be slow, but he understood what Jasper was getting at.
He added, âMr. Beckett is in pain all over his body. He canât eat or sleep well and even coughed up blood again this morning. Iâm really worried he wonât make it through the day. Itâs quite heartless of Ms.
Alyssal to treat her savior this way, donât you think?â
Jasper raised an eyebrow, thinking that Xavier had gone too far. Sean gritted his teeth and left the room.
After the door slammed shut, Jasperâs shoulders slumped. Just a minute ago, he had stood on the moral high ground, but now he appeared dispirited and downcast.
Without warning, he leaned forward and heaved a mouthful of blood.
