Chapter 929

Alyssa stopped teasing Cyrus and adopted a serious expression.” Cyrus, has the phone been

repaired?”

“The repair was challenging, but my colleagues in the technical department are professionals.”

Cyrus turned to Jasper. “Mr. Beckett, we'll need your statement later.”

“Sure, I came here to cooperate with your investigation.”

Jasper's eyes softly lingered on Alyssa’s profile, unable to pull away.

Alyssa wasn't oblivious to his gaze. She pursed her rosy lips subtly, deliberately avoiding his intense

stare

Then, the trio entered the police station. Even though it was night, the sight of Alyssa and Jasper

walking in together drew astonished glances from the officers.

They were an outstanding pair, and it was hard to find a couple like them. It didn’t seem right that

they weren't married.

In the interrogation room, Cyrus brought forward the repaired phone.

Alyssa’s long lashes trembled slightly as she gently picked up the

phone with the broken screen.

On the lit screen was a photo of Nina with her grandmother in their hometown. Nina was holding a

cute yellow and white puppy in her arms, and they were all smiling happily.

Suddenly, a buzzing sound echoed in Alyssa’s head, and a searing. pain spread through her limbs

and bones. It was so painful that her whole body trembled. She instinctively covered her ears with

her

hands.

She closed her eyes, but she couldn't stop the tears streaming down.

her face.

“Lyse! Are you okay? Do you need to rest for a while?”

Cyrus knew Alyssa hadn't fully recovered from the trauma. Seeing the phone must have made her

recall the events of that night. It had undoubtedly affected her deeply.

He quickly stood up, intending to go around the table to comfort her.

However, at that moment, he watched as Jasper suddenly turned and opened his arms, encircling

Alyssa’s shoulders. He firmly grasped the back of her neck and gently placed her forehead on his

broad

shoulder.

“Take a deep breath. Listen to me. Deep breath...”

He guided her with his soft voice while gently patting her quivering

back.

Alyssa kept her eyes tightly closed and her fists clenched. In his embrace, she shook and gasped for

breath. It was a sight that would tug at anyone's heartstrings.

Cyrus watched their interaction without intervening. He just let out a faint sigh. Whether he liked it

or not, if it hadn't been for Jasper, he really wouldn't know how to calm Lyse down.

There seemed to be an inseparable bond between the two.

But if Jasper's way could help Alyssa feel a little better, Cyrus was willing to give the bastard a

chance.

After a while, Alyssa gradually calmed down. Realizing that she was leaning on Jasper, she felt

flustered and confused. She quickly pushed him away.

Jasper froze for a moment and blinked.

“Thank you,” Alyssa murmured without daring to look at him

“You're welcome,” he replied softly.

She noticed that Jasper's suit had gotten wet from her tears. Feeling guilty, she hurriedly reached

out and briskly wiped his shoulder a couple of times.

Jasper didn't know how to react.

"Ahem... Before you leave, give me your suit. I'll find someone to dry clean it and have it sent back

to you.”

"Why do you want to clean it?"

Jasper narrowed his eyes, smiling brightly. His smile pierced her heart. “There's no need to wash it.

It's fine just like this.”
