Chapter 1034
Can’t Win Me Back
It was a good thing that Silas was not around, or else the trio would have made such a scene.
Axel taunted bitterly, "No, of course not. I wouldn't want to get on the wrong side of Mr. Beckett, as
he's the family favorite now."
Jonah said, "That's enough, Axel."
Alyssa sighed helplessly. "Axel, I can already picture how you will treat your future wife. Are you
going to nag her for a full day if she takes as much as a look at other men?"
"Not only that, I'll punish her in bed to the point that she won't be able to get out of bed for three
days."
Everyone was rendered speechless by Axel's bold answer.
Jasper smiled, cheered up by the interaction among the siblings. He would be jealous of Alyssa's
exchange with her brothers in the past, but he had since learned to be comfortable with the Taylor
siblingsâ ways of expressing their love for Alyssa.
All he needed to do was to be understanding and get along with it. People always said that those
who were deep in love would lose their sense of self, which seemed to be true for him at the
moment.
"Wow, everyone's here today," Jeremy spoke.
The crowd turned around. They found Jeremy and Miley approaching them hand-in-hand, as sweet
as newlyweds.
Miley gushed, "Everything's finally settled. It's nice to see all of you gathering here.â She was glad to
see Jasper's improving condition under Alyssaâs care. "Mr. Beckett, how are you feeling?"
"I've never felt better. I'll leave the hospital with Lyse tomorrow," Jasper replied.
Alyssa quickly pinched him on the shoulder in frustration. âTomorrow? Are you crazy? The doctor
said you made a swift recovery, and your blood tests returned fine, but you're far from getting
discharged. You need at least a week more of hospital stay.â
Jasper clasped her hand and caressed it, saying, "Inigo Montoye is in Solana City. I need to find him
as soon as I can. I don't want further trouble.
"Oh, there's Jeffrey Snyder as well. We need to interrogate him and make him rat out Sophia. My
health is not the priority in front of all these missions.â
Although Jasper and Alyssa did not display much physical affection, their souls seemed to be one.
She complained, "But you can't push yourself too hard! Health is everything. Why would you care
about all that stuff? Do you know how worriâ"
Did he know how worried she would be?
Jasper, feeling bitter, held on tighter to her hand. He understood her unspoken words.
Jeremy chimed in with concern, "Jasper, you'll have ample chance to take revenge. Do focus on your
recovery for now."
Smiling gratefully, Jasper replied, "Thank you for your concern, Mr. President. And thanks for
donating your blood. I owe you a huge favor there, and I'll be sure to repay your kindness one day."
"Just chill! We're family now. Just see me as your brother-in-law," Jeremy spoke freely, his easygoing
behavior around his family a stark contrast to his demeanor in the Kontina political scene.
Miley gently poked Jeremy, who was oblivious to the situation. Still, Jasper agreed with Jeremy and
addressed him, "As you say, my brother-in-law."
Alyssa promptly blushed as she pressed her lips. Axel glared at Jasper and grumbled, "Don't get
carried away."
Jonah calmly suggested, "Jasper, you may leave the hospital if you wish, but letting the Becketts
learn about your health is not wise. I've arranged for you to stay in a VIP room at the Taylor General
Hospital. It's much nicer and private over there."
