Can’t Win Me Back
Chapter 619
Landon had once spoiled Zoe as her brother, but now she felt nothing except fear for him.
âYou don't have an idea? It's okay as long as I know who he is,â Landon taunted. Then, two
bodyguards dragged Gary into the house. He had been beaten into a pulp.
Zoe gasped and covered her mouth in shock as she watched the trail of blood left behind by Gary
as he
was dragged inside.
âGary, you've served me for a decade, and I've treated you well over the years. for dead on the
streets if it hadn't been for my help,â Landon began.
You would have been left
He took a seat on the chair Angelina had pulled out for him. âIs this how you repay my kindness?
Posing as my loyal employee while groveling to my sister? You're quite good at this double-agent
act.â
âM-Ms. Zoe, save me..." Gary pleaded desperately, as he had no other option.
She quickly averted her gaze from his severely bruised and bloodied face, which made her feel
nauseated.
"Angelina, give him the same old punishment,â Landon instructed, taking a drag on his cigarette.
âYes, Mr. Landon.â Angelina approached Gary with a hot iron and inflicted burns on his body.
The hissing sounds, mixed with Gary's agonizing groans, were extremely disturbing and sickening.
Zoe screamed, wrapping her arms around her head. She fainted soon after.
Alyssa hadn't received any updates from Jasper since their night at Jameson's place, and she had
been plagued by nightmares about him for three consecutive nights.
While she understood that dreams were not necessarily a reflection of reality, their vividness scared
her.
Moreover, she had found the patch of blood outside Jameson's gate. It was particularly unsettling
and
frightening.
Mandy knocked on Alyssa's door and entered the room. She said, âLyse, this is the medication for
the
second treatment.â Then, she placed the medication in front of Alyssa.
Alyssa was in the process of packing her belongings for her return to Solana City. She gladly
accepted the medication and replied, âThank you, Mandy.â
âDonât mention it. I would do anything for you,â Mandy said, gently stroking Alyssaâs hair.
Then, she asked, âBy the way, how is Jasper's recovery coming along?
âDo you care about him?â Alyssa asked in surprise.
âNo, that's absurd,â Mandy quickly clarified, distancing herself from Jasper.
"He's using Lovelace Pharmaceuticalâs medication, and I'm naturally interested in how our little test
subject is responding. I would like to gauge its effectiveness.â
Upon hearing this, Alyssa pufsed her lips and felt a touch of frustration. The medication from
Lovelace Pharmaceuticals had not yet received approval for sale as it was still in clinical trials.
Despite the risks, Alyssa had provided the medication to Jasper in an effort to prevent his injuries
from worsening, which could result in long-term side effects.
"He... looks fine. But Mandy, what are
the side effects of the medication?â
Mandy shook her head with a sigh. âI have no clue. That's why I asked you about his cor Regardless,
there are two important things he should be aware of when heâs on the medication
âFirst, he must avoid getting injured. Second, he should keep his emotions stable. Emotional turmoil
won't
help his recovery. It will only worsen his condition.â
Alyssa felt a tightness in her chest, and a frown crept across her face. The thought of the bloodstain
weighed heavily on her mind.
