Jonah grew serious and patted Silasâ shoulder. âBut remember to not call him âJasâ in front of Alyssa anymore. Be respectful.â
Siias nodded, feeling overwhelmed.
Meanwhile, Jameson was standing on the second floor overlooking KS World Hotelâs ballroom.
He watched as Winston and Newton hurried down the stairs. A cold glint flashed in his eyes.
âMr. Schmidt.â His secretary quickly went to his side.
âMs. Alyssa went to Madam Lylaâs defense when an aggressor attacked them, but Jasper Beckett protected her just in time, taking the blow to the head himself.â
Jamesonâs brows furrowed.
âA blow on the head⦠My goodness. Why did he do that to himself?â The secretary murmured, astonished.
âKeep your tongue in line or Iâll do it for you!â Jameson snapped, shooting the man a glare.
Frightened, the secretary instantly shut up.
âWhat happened after? Did Jasper die on the spot?â Jameson asked darkly.
âNo He lost consciousness. The injury was quite serious. He ended up bleeding from the head.â
âWhat about Ms. Alyssa?â
Swallowing nervously, the secretary said, âMiss⦠Ms. Alyssa went after him to the hospital.â
âWonderful ⦠hahaha⦠just wonderful.â Jameson chuckled evilly, bristling like an untamable beast was on the edge of losing itself from its leash within him.
âI love a good game of cat-and-mouse. You really are giving your all for Lyse, arenât you, Jasper?
Sacrificing yourself again and again to gain her affection.
âEnjoy it while you can because Iâll soon rip all that away from you. As long as Iâm alive, youâll never be able to win Lyse over!â
Jasper was sent straight to Taylor General Hospitalâs ER. Meanwhile, Jonah and Winston hurriedly led Newton and his men over to the hospital.
âJasper! Oh Jasper, my poor grandson!â Newton cried, stumbling to the ER.
If Winston and Jonah hadnât been supporting him, he wouldnât have been able to walk all the way here.
âDonât worry, Mr. Beckett Senior. We have the best doctors and top-notch medical equipment in this hospital.
âIâve also asked Jonah and my other sons to call on all available specialists to save him. Your grandson will be healed in no time!â Winston promised, though he was just as worried.
âWhy⦠Why did this happen?â Newton cried, sitting down in a chair.
Unshed tears glinted in his eyes. âOh my poor grandson ⦠you have to stay strong!â
âGrandpa â¦â
Everyone turned to look at who had spoken, only to find Alyssa walking over. She slowly went to Newtonâs side before kneeling down before him on one knee.
âAliceâ¦â Newton mumbled, seeing how pale she was.
âIâm so sorry, Grandpa,â Alyssa choked out.
âJasperâs become like this all because of me.â
