The doctor wiped the sweat off his brow, saying, “We … will need to do brain surgery immediately.”


    “Brain surgery?” Everyone was shocked.


    “Do it. If that’s the only way to save Jasper, then why not?” Newton decided.


    “But the problem is no neurosurgeon in the hospital right now can guarantee a high chance of


    sess!”


    Winston eximed.


    Javier red at him. “Didn’t you swear your hospital could save my son? What do we do now?”


    Winston opened his mouth but no words came to mind.


    “We have a doctor.” Alyssa calmly stepped forward.


    “I’ll operate on Jasper.”


    Everyone, including Jonah and Winston, were stunned to their core.


    They knew Alyssa was skilled as a doctor. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have volunteered to work as one


    overseas.


    But this was no mere skin-deep wound. This was cranial surgery!


    “W-What did you say?” Javier stuttered, staring at Alyssa.


    “You know how to perform brain surgery, Alice?” Newton asked, surprise lighting up his desperate


    eyes.


    “Yes, Grandpa.” Alyssa did her best to smile, holding onto his hand.


    “Please have faith in me. I’ll be sure to return your grandson to you alive and kicking.”


    “What a bluff. What if you can’t save my brother?” Betty shot out.


    This was a once in a lifetime opportunity to mock Alyssa, after all.


    Alyssa’s gaze swept across Betty, eyes cold and frigid. “If anything happens, I’ll personally cut my own.


    head off for you.”


    That left everyone speechless.


    Jonah huffed lightly, thinking to himself, “How bloody.”


    Landon only came to know of Jasper’s ident after he had been sent to the hospital.


    “Something’s happened to your brother, so I’ll send you home first, Lauren.


    “Why don’t you get some rest first? Don’t wait for me.” Landon said gently, wrapping Lauren up in a red


    cloak he had retrieved from Angelina.


    He didn’t tell Lauren much about what had happened to Jasper because he didn’t want her to worry.


    “What happened to my brother?” Lauren asked.


    She had always had a keen eye, so she was still able to tell that something serious had happened


    even


    though Landon tried to hide it.


    “You have to tell me, Landon. Don’t hide the truth from me!”


    “Go back home and get some sleep. I’ll tell you once you wake up.”


    Landon wrapped an arm around Lauren’s waist and leaned in to kiss her. Angelina smiled lightly,


    looking


    away.


    “Let’s go.” Landon held Lauren’s hand and walked into the house.


    Their hearts intertwined, and their love for one another gushed out from their eyes.


    Words weren’t needed to describe how lovely the two were being with one another.


    All of a sudden, a familiar voice called out, “Landon!”


    Landon swiftly turned to the source of the noise. With a frown, he asked, “Mom? What … are you doing


    here?”
