Chapter 707
Can’t Win Me Back
"The spy you planted in Taylor General Hospital has some new updates.â
News of Jasper regaining consciousness quickly reached the Beckett family. Newton and Javier
hurried to the hospital
Upon seeing Jasper, Newton broke down, hugged him, and fought back tears. He moaned, "Oh, my
dear grandson, you're giving me a heart attack!"
"Grandpa, I'm so sorry for worrying you," Jasper replied. He felt sorry for Newton
"How do you feel? Do you still have a headache? Where does it hurt?"
Newton refrained from touching Jasper's head when he thought about the major surgery to stitch
Jasper's head. Right now, Newton was more careful with Jasper than with himself.
"I'm doing fine," Jasper reassured Newton. Knowing what was on Newton's mind, Jasper grabbed
his hand to touch his own head. "Feel my head. Isn't it pretty solid?"
"Oh, you idiot!" Newton teased him. He gently and cautiously touched Jasper's head with a wide
grin.
Javier was there to visit Jasper as well. His relationship with Jasper could be described as awkward.
Javier had lost sleep when Jasper was in a coma, but he put on a sour face when Jasper was awake.
Javier always struggled to say anything nice to Jasper.
Newton patted Jasper's cheek. He felt scared when he recalled the perilous situation, and he warned
Jasper, "You'd better not give me another scare! I know you were protecting Alice, but you shouldn't
have exposed yourself to danger.
"It's normal to want to be good to your woman, but you need to be healthy and strong to protect
her. You don't want to turn into ashes before you win her over."
Javier and Jasper were dumbfounded by Newton's remark. Jasper cleared his throat and said,
"Grandpa, can't you say something more encouraging? Why the talk about death right after I've
woken up?â
"Sigh. You know what I mean. Right, my grandson?â Then, Newton whispered into Jasper's ears as if
sharing a top secret. "Let me tell you a secretâyour wife is extraordinary.â
Jasper blushed at the mention of "wife".
Newton revealed, "She was your surgeon. It took her ten hours to remove all the blood clots in your
brain!"
"Lyse was my surgeon?" Jasper was stunned.
"It's a shock, isn't it? I never expected Alyssa to be the renowned âDr. White." Goodness, what do we
do now? She's an incredible woman. Now, I worry that she's out of your league,â Newton
punctuated his worry with a sigh.
After the initial shock, Jasper looked determined. "I will try my best to be a successful man who can
protect her and make her happy."
"Pfft. She'll consider herself lucky if you don't end up causing her more problems,â Javier scoffed
when he was reminded of his loss. "Back then, I advised you to stick with the marriage, but you
insisted on divorcing Alyssa to date Liana. It's too late now."
Jasper frowned. He wanted to retort, only for Newton to cut him off. Newton blasted Javier, "Tsk,
why are you getting grumpier the older you are? Why bring up Liana?
"Jasper might not be perfect, but he did leave that toxic relationship, unlike some who are still
infatuated with the wrong person. You are in no place to lecture him when you can't even get it
right.â
"Dad, how could youâ" Javier was incensed. His phone suddenly buzzed, interrupting the
argument.
Javier checked his phone and instantly brightened. Justin had called him from abroad.
