it was as if the sea itself had been crystallized into a single piece of jewelry.

“Thank you, Lyse...” Lyla croaked out tearfully. “I love it! Thank you so much...”

“I didn’t want to use a more precious stone, lest Winston's gift pale in comparison, and I thought a

lighter shade of crystal like this one was far more suitable for you.” Alyssa beamed at her.

“I enjoy crafting my designs according to the wearer's personality and aura. The fact that I designed

it makes it exceed in value far more than the value of the crystal itself.”

Mandy and Colene then led Lyla to unveil the presents they had gotten for her.

When Alyssa's phone began ringing, she stepped out into the hallway to check on it.

“Hello?” She answered in a flat tone..

“I called to report my status to you, Ms. Alyssa. I'm feeling much better now.” Jasper's voice was

especially tender tonight and irresistibly sensual.

“Next time you would like to know how I'm doing, please don't hesitate to call me instead of going

through Xavier.”

Alyssa gnawed on her lip, her heart skipping a beat.

"Or I could call you. You know I wouldn't pass up any chance to do so.” Jasper's eagerness was in

stark

contrast to how cold Alyssa knew him to be.

“There's no need. I'm not your primary care doctor, and I don't have the time to keep an eye on

your

condition 24/7."

Alyssa made her voice was cold. “I'm glad you're fine. Let's hope this doesn’t happen again so we

can stay out of one another's hair.”

“Thank you for taking care of me before. My fever wouldn't have gone away that fast if you hadn't,”

Jasper

said gratefully.

Then, he said, “You're much better than any other cure I've tried.”

“Do you want me to cut your tongue out, Jasper Beckett?” Alyssa’s cheeks flushed as she punched

the

window beside her, recalling how he had pressed her into the bed and kissed her days ago.

“If you try anything funny again, I swear I'll make you regret it!"

“I don't think I have anymore regrets to have, Lyse. Jasper chuckled bitterly.

“I don't think I could ever move on from how much I regret divorcing you.”

“Good. Now hang up. I'm busy.”

"Wait, Lyse.”

"What?" Alyssa cried, irritated to no end.

“Can I ... attend Ms. Lyla’s birthday party tomorrow night? Please?” Jasper asked cautiously, his

voice

filled with hope. Hope that he would be able to see her again.

Alyssa scowled. “Lyla’s birthday celebration will only be open to close friends and family, Mr.

Beckett.

Aren't you being a little too presumptuous?”

“I understand that; I do. But they do say it's best to pay your in-laws a visit every now and then,”

Jasper

replied in a serious tone.

“Did you get that stick pulled out of your ass recently or what?" Alyssa groaned, punching the

window

again, imagining it was Jasper's head.

“Please, Lyse?" he asked again.

Alyssa recalled how Javier had beaten Jasper to shit the other night and how much blood the latter

had

lost from it. Biting her lip, she grumbled, “Remember to bring a present.”

Jasper's voice was immediately colored with joy. “Of course! It makes no sense to visit your in-laws

empty

-handed.”

"Screw off!” Alyssa cussed.
