Zoeâs heart dropped into her stomach. Face flushed, she hurriedly explained, âI donât mean anything untoward. Grandpa Newton, nor do I want to cause anymore trouble for you guys ⦠Iâm just trying to do what I can to help!
ât may not be the most capable, but at least I never injured Jasper! I didnât hurt him so bad that he ended up suffering on a cold surgical table!â
âEnough, Zoe!â Landon cried, walking over to stop her.
Newtonâs expression grew cold. He asked sharply, âAre you blaming Alyssa? Do you think she was the one who did this to my grandson?â
ââ¦.Iâ¦.â Zoe stammered.
Of course she did! Of course, it was Alyssaâs fault!
But Zoe couldnât say that out loud. Newton was clearly biased towards Alyssa.
Just then, the sound of doors opening rang through the hallway.
Everyone turned to see the surgical room doors open.
Winston and Jonah leapt from their seats while everyone else hurried over to the door.
Two medical personnel exited first, followed by slow, heavy steps.
A shorter figure walked out the door, clad in a mask and surgeonâs garb. However, it did nothing to take away from her beauty.
She took a deep breath and took off the mask.
The moment Zoe saw who it was, she was left stunned to her core. Her eyes were just as wide as her mouth.
How could this beâ¦
The person who had operated on Jasper⦠was this bitch?
âLyse⦠oh, Lyse!â
Winston and Newton ran over, each holding onto her shaking hands.
Their hearts ached at the sight of Alyssaâs tired eyes and the red marks on her face left by the surgical mask Lyse, is Jasper ? Newton asked hesitantly.
Alyssa heaved a great sigh, holding his hand tight. âJasper must have heard your prayers while he was unconscious, Grandpa. Iâve successfully removed the blood clots from his brain. The surgery was a success.â
Everyone cried out in sheer joy.
Landon clutched his chest, his heart finally able to find peace.
âThank goodness! Oh, thank the heavens!â Javierâs hands were held tight together as he muttered gratefully.
âWhat heavens? Alice was the one who performed the surgery. You should be thanking her!â Newton glared at his son.
Though Javier was prejudiced against Alyssa, he still couldnât not say anything for fear of ruining his public image.
So he went over to her and said quietly, âThank you so much, Ms. Alyssa. Thank you for saving my sonâs life.â
âNo need, Mr. Javier.â Alyssa sighed deeply.
Jasper only ended up like this because he saved me. Saving him was naturally my rightful duty.â
This is all thanks to you, Alice! All you!â Newton hugged her tight, tears nearly falling down his cheeks.
Alyssa consoled him for a while before slowly turning her cold gaze to Zoe, who was standing stock still a distance away.
