Chapter 528

“My dad once told me that a perfect relationship has to be smooth from the start. In our three years

of

marriage, I gave up myself to prop you up. I kept the relationship by compromising. What's the

point of

keeping this broken relationship? Why would I hurt myself by giving you a second chance?”

Alyssa’s words were piercing and damning. Jasper refused to lose her and reached out to hold her

hand,

but she dodged the move.

He panted heavily and declared, “I swear I will not treat you like 1 did in the past. You don't even

have to

do anything. I'll pursue you.”

Her heart raced as she went through a whirlwind of emotions. Her palms grew sweaty, her

breathing

became erratic, and her heart raced in all directions.

She scoffed at his suggestion. “You once said I was a shameless and deceitful woman. I'm not a

prim

and proper lady, unlike Liana Gardner. Why would you fall for me?”

She sniffled and added, “Besides, I'm no longer the gullible and weak Alice White. Men are lining up

for

1. Do you think you stand any chance after being blacklisted as a massive jerk?”

"Alyssa, I really-"

"Stop it. I don't want to hear one more word,” she interrupted, covering her ears and leaving the

room

hastily. “I'll consider your words today as nonsense. I'm treating your wounds only because I feel

bad for

you. We will part ways once you've recovered.”

With that, she slammed the door shut.

Jasper's eyes were bloodshot. His hands, suspended in mid-air, finally dropped.

He mumbled, “But I truly love you.”

After leaving Jasper's room, Alyssa met with Xavier instead of going home. She wanted to obtain

more

information about Jasper's condition. She also took the body checkup reports and patient files to

review

later at home

She was concerned because she realized that Jasper was in a bad condition after performing a

body

checkup on him just now. He might suffer from chronic side effects if his wounds were not taken

care of.

Sean drove the Taylor siblings to Belbanks in their Rolls-Royce. Liam took the second passenger

seat

while Jonah sat in the back with his arm draped around Alyssa’s shoulder.

Throughout the journey, Alyssa tightly clutched Jasper's patient profiles and scan results. She rested

her head on Jonah's shoulder and repeatedly sighed, obviously in low spirits.

"What's going on, Lyse? You seem upset,” Jonah inquired and gently caressed her cheek. “Is Jasper

dying?

She was speechless at his speculation. Liam turned around with a frown and said, “Oh, that would

be

good news. Why would you feel upset?”

Again, she was dumbfounded.

“Liam, Lyse is a thoughtful and kind soul. She'll feel bad if something happens to Jasper because he

has

saved her life,” Jonah remarked with a sigh.

Liam seethed but did not comment more.

“Jasper is severely injured, but he’s no longer in critical condition because he received timely

treatment.”

“That's great news. Why are you upset, then?” Jonah sounded puzzled.

She replied, “It's not a big deal.” After a pause, she admitted, “Jasper said he wanted to pursue me.”
