Chapter 914: Chapter 914

After Alyssa and Sean left with the Taylor siblings, the police arrested the attackers. With blood everywhere, the scene looked like a mess with blood.

Still, he felt more exhausted than he had during his days on the battlefield.

Cyrus approached him with two policemen and, after casting a look at the gun, said sternly, “Please come to the police station with us to assist in the investigation.”

“Hey! What’s that supposed to mean?” Xavier exclaimed, shielding Jasper from the authorities, his face. flushed.

He explained, “Mr. Beckett wrestled the gun away from the attacker! You can’t possibly suspect him as the shooter, can you? If it hadn’t been for Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa would have-”

“Enough, Xavier. Stop it.” Jasper cut him off and calmly faced Cyrus. “Fine. I’ll go.”

“Mr. Beckett, please don’t misunderstand us. I’m not treating you as a suspect. The police have a standard operating procedure for cases like these. I trust you’ll cooperate with our investigation,” Cyrus conveyed hesitantly.

It was rare for Cyrus to address Jasper nicely. He lowered his voice and added, “Even Lyse has to cooperate with the investigation, but she’s not in the right state of mind for it right now.

“Besides, she needs medical attention. I’ll take her statement tomorrow.”

Jasper was heartbroken when he thought of Alyssa. “Mr. Cyrus, may I visit Alyssa before that? I’m worried.

Cyrus would have rejected such requests under normal circumstances. However, given that Jasper had saved Alyssa from the shooting. Cyrus didn’t have the heart to turn down the former’s humble request.

The atmosphere in the hospital weighed heavily on everyone. Sean had been sent to the operating theater for surgery on his stab wound.

He suffered the worst injury to his left shoulder. If anything went wrong during surgery, there was a risk of permanent damage to his left arm.

Alyssa had wanted to perform the surgery on Sean, but Jonah and Axel had held her back. She was too weak right now and could collapse before the surgery was over.

“Don’t worry, Lyse. I’ve gathered the best experts in Solana City, I’ll do everything in my power to ensure the doctors save Sean’s left arm,” Jonah comforted Alyssa, holding her in his arms.

“It’s all my fault. Sean wouldn’t have been injured if it hadn’t been for me,” Alyssa said tearfully, consumed by guilt.

“Don’t blame yourself, Lyse. No one could have foreseen this,” Axel consoled her, his eyes welling up with tears.

He always felt tortured when he saw Alyssa upset.

They heard urgent footsteps, followed by a man’s voice. “Lyse!”

Liam, who hadn’t met with his siblings for a while, rushed over with Silas from the end of the corridor.

Except for Cyrus, all the Taylor sons were by Alyssa’s side. As her brothers, they felt compelled to keep their sister company at such a critical moment.

“Liam!” Axel’s eyes lit up with joy when he saw Liam.

Everyone in the family knew that Liam and Axel had been closest to each other since childhood. One couldn’t help but wonder if it was because they had both taken their mother’s last name.

Silas pouted, jealous at how Axel had shown such enthusiasm toward Liam.

Liam nodded softly at Axel before marching up to Alyssa in his military boots. He called out to her, “Lyse? Lyse, I’m here.”

She looked up and squinted at him with her swollen eyes. Her lips trembled as she spoke, “Liam, you’re here. I got into trouble.”

Swallowing hard, Liam felt sorry for Alyssa and clasped her cold hand.

“Don’t worry about it, Lyse. There’s nothing to fear. I’m not scared of trouble. I’m only worried that you’ll keep your troubles from me. No matter what happens, I’ve got your back.”
