Xavier stood in the corridor outside the patient room and nced warily at the two lines of guards


    standing there. Their uniform posture and cold demeanor sent a chill down his spine.


    The door to Jasper’s room flung open, followed by the heavy thud of military boots.


    Liam showed up with a stoic expression while adjusting his beret. After years of strict military training,


    he


    was able to keep a poker face at any time.


    The guards immediately performed a military salute.


    “Let’s go,” Liam calmly ordered his men and whooshed past Xavier. The guards followed suit, and


    peace


    was restored in the corridor.


    Xavier gaped at Liam’s handsome figure. He was charmed by Liam’s masculine and regal air. Liam’s


    presence made clear to him that some people were born to be special.


    When he was spacing out, Jasper had exited the room with a dark expression and heavy footsteps.


    “Mr. Beckett, don’t push yourself. You’re not in the condition to be discharged!” Xavier advised. He


    wanted to lend Jasper a helping hand, only to be shoved away.


    Jasper insisted, “No. Javier and Sophia will be suspicious of me if I don’t head back to thepany.


    They’ll grab the chance to remove me. You cannot let anyone know about my hospitalization and my-”


    He started coughing violently after suppressing the bout of cough during his argument with Liam.


    The hollowness of the cough scared Xavier out of his skin as tears welled up in his eyes. He pleaded, ”


    Your health is more important than the Beckett Group and the presidency.”


    “Don’t worry about it. I will survive. I’ve escaped many near-death experiences and sustained multiple


    injuries, but I’m still kicking.”


    Jasper puffed his chest and took a deep breath. His eyes were burning in rage when he reyed


    Liam’s


    insult in his mind.


    Liam had described him as a disgrace to the military.


    That was so unfair.


    Alyssa reserved a luxury lounge at KS World Hotel and served a feast for Liam’s farewell dinner. Ss,


    Cyrus, and Tatiana, who were all working or studying in Sna City, had joined the merry asion.


    Every


    Unfortunately, Ss, Cyrus, and Tatiana had to see Liam off at their first gathering after a long time.

    were reluctant to let Liarn go. An emotional Alyssa even teared up and had a few more drinks.


    She struggled toprehend her feelings at that moment. Of course, she was happy to be with her


    siblings, but the thought of Jasper left her frustrated.


    Why would he fall for her?


    Had he misattributed theirradery during the Crater Mountain Park incident to romantic love? Or did


    he feel bad after learning that she was the girl he had saved 13 years ago?


    Perhaps he was just a yboy. In the past, he was a sucker for bitches like Liana, and now, he was


    into


    cold beauties.


    Alyssa smirked and let out a snort. It seemed that he had rebounced from Liana’s betrayal quite fast. In


    no time, he was going after his pretty ex-wife, who was like a new woman.


    What a shameless scoundrel!


    “Lyse, I heard you once again volunteered to be a park ranger at Crater Mountain Park. They said you


    almost fell off a cliff to save a hiker!”


    Ss shuddered when he learned about Alyssa’stest life update from Jonah. He gave her a tight and


    warm hug, and he refused to let go.


    He scolded her yfully, “You little brat! Do you want to give me a heart attack? If anything bad


    happens


    to you, I won’t want to live either!”
