Chapter 1033

It took Jasper only half a month to wake up from his coma after receiving emergency medical

treatment, which was remarkable. Any ordinary patient would have lost the battle in the operating

room, and even if they survived, it might take them longer to wake up from the coma.

After Jasper was awake, Julien assessed his condition and attributed Jasper's quick recovery to his

exceptional physique and military background.

In the morning, Alyssa accompanied Jasper to complete some medical checkups. Throughout the

process, he behaved well, like a child who attended medical appointments with his mother. He

cooperated well without a word of complaint.

"Have you ever seen Lyse behaving so motherly and saint-like? I nearly prayed to her." Axel clicked

his tongue.

He shot an envious look at the wheelchair-bound Jasper as Alyssa draped a blanket over the latter.

He added, "I guess Lyse is no longer one of us. Her brothers don't matter anymore now that she has

a man. She won't take a look at us again.”

Grabbing the chance to tease Axel, Landon quipped with a smile, "That's because Jasper is good-

looking and pitiable. Any woman would have done the same for him. Why don't you try hurting

yourself, for example, losing a limb? You'll be worse off than Jasper, and Lyse might actually pay you

some attention then."

"Forget it! I'm Lyse's brother! We grew up sharing stuff and sleeping in the same bed. I made her

toys, tied her shoelaces, and finished her leftovers! I even took responsibility for her mistakes!” The

more Axel reminisced, the angrier he became.

He snapped, "Who even is Jasper? Why do we have to fight him for our dear sister's affection?

We're the ones who raised her with love, and now, he swoops in and takes her away from us!"

"Why, you ask? Lyse loves him.” Landon yawned. "Axel, better face the reality. After all they went

through together, I doubt anyone could ever come between them.”

Jonah suddenly interjected, "Axel, you're a grown man, so act like one.” He and Julien approached

Axel and Landon. The soft, golden sunlight illuminated their silhouettes.

"Landon’s right. One day, Jasper will be your brother-in-law, and he'll be the only one unless Lyse

chooses to stay single forever."

Although Jonah and Julien were of the same gender, Axel and Landon thought the two were a

match made in heaven. Jonah was wild, alluring, and masculine, while Julien exhibited feminine

beauty and elegance.

Too bad Julien was a man. Axel and Landon thought he'd be perfect for Jonah if he were a lady.

"Let's wait and see!" Axel exclaimed. "Jasper Beckett will become a matrilocal son-in-law!"

Landon answered on behalf of his friend, "That's not a problem. Winston Taylor is wealthy enough

to support nine children and three wives. I'm sure he won't mind another family member.”

Julien chortled at Landon's remark. "Are you that eager to marry off your best friend?"

Jonah turned to check out Julien. They seemed to share a telepathic bond because Julien looked at

him at the same time.

Heart racing, Jonah looked away. Despite trying to maintain his composure, he swallowed hard,

betraying a hint of nervousness.

"Damn it! Fine. When Jasper marries into our family, I'll make him cook and do all the chores! And

his children will bear our family name," Axel wailed.

"Don't underestimate Jasper's abilities. You might want him to massage you and wash your feet

while you're at it!" Landon playfully joked as he excitedly pictured Jasper's life as a matrilocal son-in-

law.

Meanwhile, Alyssa wheeled Jasper over after they were done with the checkups. Shooting a quizzical

look at Landon and Axel, she wondered, "What are you laughing at? Are you talking behind our

backs?"
