Xavier, Sean, and Landon were shocked by Jasper’s sudden fainting spell. Fortunately, they happened
to
be just outside the hospital’s entrance.
Without hesitation, Landon and Xavier rushed to assist the doctors and nurses in sending Jasper into
the

emergency room.
Meanwhile, Sean found himself rooted to the spot at the far end of the corridor. He watched with
concern
as they wheeled the pale Jasper with blood-stained lips into the emergency room.
Why did Jasper suddenly faint? Was it a ploy to gain sympathy?
None of it added up. Jasper had seemed perfectly fine throughout their journey to the hospital until this
sudden copse.
“Mr. Landon, is Mr. Beckett going to be…” Xavier clenched his fists, tears welling up in his eyes.
“He’ll be alright,” Landon reassured him. He nced fearfully at the emergency room sign and
mumbled,
Jasper will pull through. He’s the toughest, coolest, and bravest guy I’ve ever known. He’ll be just fine.”
At that moment, one of Jonah’s bodyguards went up to Sean and informed him, “Mr. Lynch, I’ve been
sent
to bring you up.”
“Alright,” Sean replied uneasily. Before he left, he leaned in and whispered to the bodyguard, “Mr.
Beckett
from the Beckett Group is in the emergency room right now. Please arrange for two top-tier physicians
to
attend to him.”
Alyssa finally opened her eyes groggily on the evening of the second day. She felt more refreshed after
the long sleep.
“Mmph… Where … am I …” She could not move her body and felt that her bones were in disarray.
“Lyse, you’re up! It’s Liam here!” Liam yelped in excitement and hugged her. He had not slept at all.
Instead, he held her hand tightly and cried through the night, as evident from his swollen eyes.
“Liam? Is that really you? You’re back… Liam!” She widened her teary eyes. Her nose turned red from
the
emotions.
He gave her a firm nod and a peck on the forehead. Her fever had gone down.
The previous day, the doctor had warned that if Alyssa had dyed treatment any longer, she could
have
“Is it okay for you to leave your military duties behind? Do you even have any leave days?” Alyssa was
more concerned about Liam than herself.
“It’s not okay to do that, but you’re my utmost priority,” he answered.
“Liam …” She wrapped her arms around his neck and pressed her cheek against his.
Liam hadn’t seen her for a while. A bitter taste filled his mouth when he noticed her weight loss and the
dullness in her eyes.
“By the way, how did I get here?” Alyssa wondered. She sat up with Liam’s help and leaned weakly
against
the headboard.
Liam remained silent.
“Where’s Jasper?” She spoke in a hoarse voice, her eyshes fluttering.
“He came here in our helicopter. That fellow is doing just fine. Don’t worry about him,” Liam coldly
brushed off the topic.
Somehow, Alyssa had an ominous feeling. She pressed on, “Where is he now?”
The door to her room swung open. Jonah and Sean entered one after another. Their faces lit up with
joy
upon seeing Alyssa awake.
“Ms. Alyssa!” Sean eximed with joyful tears in his eyes. He had wanted to rush up to Alyssa. But he
restrained himself in Liam’s presence, choosing instead to kneel beside Alyssa’s bed.
“You must have been so shockedst night, Sean…” muttered Alyssa. She looked sickly, but there was
a
cheeky glimmer in her eyes. “I’m sorry for acting rashly, but I didn’t have a choice. I had to save a life.”
Sean gazed deeply into her eyes and shook his head as he choked on emotions. Based on what he
had
heard, Alyssa hade dangerously close to falling off a cliff. It was Jasper who had risked his life to
rescue her at that critical moment.
“Ms. Alyssa, there’s something I need to tell you,” Sean blurted out after a moment of hesitation.
“Jasper
Beckett suffered severe internal injuries. He coughed up blood earlier today.”
“What?” She sat up abruptly, her eyes widening in shock. Her breathing grew heavier. “H-How did that
happen?
Jonah and Liam seemed equally taken aback by the sudden news.
His attending physician said that he sustained a major blow to his back, which impacted his internal
wasn’t a petty, jealous liar.
A flicker of realization crossed her mind. She recalled that he had mmed his back into a huge rock
when he grabbed her from the cliff’s edge and rolled away from the rockslide.
But he assured her he was fine back then! What a liar!
Worried and frustrated, she flipped around and wanted to get out of bed. The three men around her
were
concerned about her health and went up to stop her.
“Lyse, where are you going? Are you going to look for Jasper?” Liam pinned down her shoulders.
“He got hurt because of me. I can’t just leave him alone!” she argued, her heart racing with worry. She
was
determined to get to Jasper.
“Why would you want to see him? He deserves whatever happens to him! I don’t care if he lives or
dies!”
“Liam, I-”
Liam’s eyes were sprouting fire. He forcefully pinned her down by the shoulders and schooled her, “You
wasted so many years on that guy. Can you just put him behind from now on, please? Can you put
yourself first for once?”
“Liam,” she mumbled after taking a deep breath. “I can be harsh sometimes, but I can’t abandon my
conscience. You have to admit that I’m still here, alive and kicking, only because of him.”
In the end, Liam couldn’t persuade Alyssa to stay. She found out Jasper’s room number and went there
with Sean’s support.
As they pushed the door open, they were taken aback by what they saw. The room was empty, and the
nket was neatly folded on the bed.
Yet, Alyssa could still detect Jasper’s distinct, manly scent lingering in the air, tugging at her heart.
*Excuse me, where’s the patient in this room?” Alyssa stopped a nurse and questioned her.
“He was discharged earlier in the afternoon.”
