Chapter 297

Cyrus Taylor was the youngest son in the family. He had decided on a career in the police force to

uphold justice.

His childhood ambition came true as he was now chief of the First Criminal Investigation Division in

the Solana City Police Department.

"Yeah! Fuck him up badly!” Silas wasinfluenced by Cyrus’ passion and punched against the window.

"Can't the police spice up the interrogation? We prosecutors aren't allowed to do so. Don't miss

your chance to take revenge for Lyse! 11

Jonah was speechless at the exchange. The daughters of the Taylor family were regal and dainty, but

the sons were thuggish and belligerent, even more so than himself, who had been involved in the

underground gangs.

When the three invincible sons of the Taylor family joined hands, their target had no way out.

Jasper rushed to the hospital to visit Newton. Landon was worried for him and insisted on tagging

along.

Jasper sped to the hospital and parked his sports car at the entrance before sprinting into the

hospital without care. Newton was his only tie to the Beckett family.

Only Newton loved and cared for him, treating him like a grandson.

“GrandpalGrandpa!” Rushing toward thedestination, Jasper repeatedly called out to Newton in a

hoarse voice.

When he dashed into the corridor, panting heavily, he found Alyssa hugging a sleeping Lauren on

the bench. The scene was as tranquil as something out of an oil painting. 1

She looked down and gently cuddled the girl in her arms. She had a peaceful look on her face,

radiating grace and virtue.

Her petite frame was house to an indestructi ble force. She always showed up like an angel to help

those in need.

Jasper was overcome by a wave of bitterness and remorse. He felt thankful that she was around to

hold the fort.

Alyss a looked up and stared into Jasper's eyes when she heard the footsteps.

He momentarily fell for the confused and gentle look in her eyes. Sadly, the moment did not last

long. She put on a steely expression after she recognized him.

“Has Ms. Gardner's birthday party ended?Is it okay for you to leave the mess behind and visit the

hospital?”

Alyssa did not chastise him at all, but he felt terribly ashamed and exposed upon hearing her words.

He went up to her with regret in his eyes. She stared at the g round with a strong aversion, fervently

wishing to shut him out.

“Grandpa's asleep. Mr. Gorham is takingcare of him in the room. You can wait for him out here

because he needs his rest,"Alyss a said.

"Alyssa, I'm sorry,"Jasper croaked as hestruggled to contain his emotions.

"What? Sorry to me?” A snicker appearedon her lips.”You should feel sorry for your grandpa, who

has narrowly escaped death. Why did you apologize to me when we have nothing to do with each

other?

“Grandpa cares for you a lot, so I hopeyou'll make more time for him. You got lucky because I was at

his place tonight. What if I wasn't there the next time he had a stroke?

“Luck will not always favor Grandpa. TheGrim Reaper will not spare him every time.

Feeling a heartache rising in her chest, she took a deep breath with misty eyes.” regret he's not my

real grandfather. I feel bad that I can't stay by his side all the time. I wish I could bring him

everywhere and care for him at all times.”

“Alyssa ..."Jasper swallowed hard. Full ofbitterness, he struggled to come up with a reply. His

apology was worthless to her.

“Jasper!“Landon hurried over all of asudden. He cast a complicated look at Alyssa before addressing

Jasper sternly,”"Come with me! I have something to tell you!"
