Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2249

Looking into each other's eyes, Alyssa's bloodshot eyes gradually filled with tears of agitation and sorrow.

Jasper came out to see her. Did he know she had been watching him the whole time?

Did that mean that deep within him, he still had feelings for her and that she was someone special to him?

Alyssa's lips parted slightly. The tip of her nose was red. As she lay on her back and looked at Jasper, she mumbled in a miserable and coquettish voice, 'Jasper... Jasper..."

The look in Jasper's eyes darkened. He glanced at her silently for a while before asking in a hoarse voice, "What are you still doing here?"

A huge drop of tear rolled from the comer of Alyssa's eye, reflecting how weak and fragile she was.

She wanted to say something, but all that escaped her were sobs. She couldn't bring herself to say anything.

Staring into her tear-filled eyes, Jasper frowned. "You woke me up because you kept talking."

"I... I'm sorry..." she apologized to him while she sobbed.

She used to be so noble and prideful. Before Jasper, she used to be an unrestrained drama queen. Yet, at this moment, she was being so heartbreakingly cautious toward him.

'Forget it."

Jasper could tell that she couldn't get up because of the fall. However, he couldn't leave her lying here either. He might not have emotions anymore, but he was still humane even if he had forgotten how kind he used to be and how deeply in love he used to be with Alyssa.

Thus, he lowered himself and picked a disheveled Alyssa up from the floor in a princess carry.

"Don't!" Taking into consideration the fact that he was still recovering from the gunshot wound on his left shoulder, Alyssa bore in mind that he shouldn't be exerting himself like this.

"Would you prefer lying down here the entire night?"

The pain started throbbing in Jasper's left arm, but he didn't care. He turned around and carried Alyssa into his ward. "As much as you might want to continue lying there, I want to sleep. I've never seen any woman being as noisy as you when she sleeps."

He had a cold and straightforward character in the first place. This characteristic of his had become accentuated now that his emotional processing system had broken down.

Jasper's words during their marriage had often been harsh. He had a way of leaving Alyssa burdened with unspoken frustration, her emotions simmering beneath the surface. Yet, she could only hold it all in, afraid of provoking his anger.

With that said, she was no longer Alice White.

As such, Alyssa gathered her courage and wrapped her arms around Jasper's neck. As she blinked, she said to him in a soft and flirtatious voice, 'It seems like you've watched many women while they slept, Mr. Beckett."

"I haven't.'

Jasper furrowed his brows. Without looking at her, he added, "But I'm sure that other women wouldn't be as noisy as you are."ConTEent bel0ngs to Nôv(e)lD/rama(.)Org .

She ended up being criticized.

Alyssa pouted miserably. At the same time, with tears in her eyes, she lifted the corners of her lips silently. Jasper wanted to put her down on the couch at first. However, the couch was too hard. She had just hurt her back

from the fall, so it would be very uncomfortable for her to lay there.

In the end, he lowered her onto the hospital bed.

"Let go," Jasper uttered coldly.

With her hands still wrapped tightly around his neck, he could only sit by the bed with his back hunched forward. This made his tall body look especially constrained.

After suppressing all those surging emotions for days, Alyssa finally broke down at this very moment.
