Landon hurried to the hospital in the wee hours of the morning after coaxing Lauren to sleep, where he


    soon joined Becketts and Taylors.


    Unable to take it anymore, Newton had retired to a VIP ward to rest with Javier’s help.


    “Jonah, I just interrogated that son of a bitch.”


    Jonah had gone to the end of the hallway to answer a call from Cyrus.


    “I’ve been in this line of work for so long. I could instantly tell he’s hiding something from us! But he just


    won’t crack!” Cyrus eximed.


    “What did that asshole tell you?” Jonah asked solemnly.


    “He said he attacked Madam L because he used to be her top fan. He’s harbored anger toward her


    ever since she quit the industry, feeling like she betrayed him.


    “Can you imagine that bullshit? Madam L was the actress of the century back then! Who does he


    think


    he is to be able to bag someone like her?” Cyrus yelled, venting out a whole night’s worth of anger to


    his


    brother.


    Jonah frowned. “Get to the point.”Exclusive ? material by N?(/v)elDrama.Org.


    “Sorry, Jonah. I got too carried away.”


    Cyrusposed himself and said, “The jackass said he attacked Madam L because seeing her


    triggered all the sadness he had felt over the years because of her.


    “He’s not fooling anybody with that nonsensical story! Someone ordered him to do this. I’m sure of it!”


    “Your interrogation results are simr to what I figured,” Jonah said lightly.


    Cyrus said, “This is all I could dig out so far, Jonah. The guy was really meticulous to erase everything


    suspicious from his phone, too.


    “There’s no sign that he was instructed by anyone at all. My guess is that he used a spare phone to


    “What if this isn’t the first time he’s done this?” Cyrus asked.


    Jonah narrowed his eyes and said coldly, “Then I don’t trust a word he’s said. It’s all too much to be a


    coincidence.


    “You can immediately tell that someone orchestrated this behind the scenes. I need to figure out who


    tried to hurt Madam L.”


    “Understood. I’ll do my part as well, Jonah.”


    Cyrus paused before asking, “How is … how is Jasper doing?”


    “He’s still in a critical state,” Jonah answered tightly.


    Cyrus really didn’t know what to say to that.


    “But I’m sure the odds will turn in his favor. Lyse is operating on his brain as we speak. It’s been five


    hours


    now.”


    “What?” Cyrus nearly spat his drink out.


    “O-operating on his brain? Does she think he’s some practice dummy? Lyse’s way of getting revenge


    on


    her ex is…. quite something!”


    “We need to trust Dr. Snow’s medical expertise. To her, brain surgery shouldn’t be a difficult task.”


    Jonah


    smiled, recalling his multifaceted sister.


    “Doctor… Snow?” Cyrus gasped.


    “That skilled, well-known medical expert who has saved countless patients from death’s door again and


    again… is Alyssa?”


    Jonah chuckled proudly. “Yes, your baby sister.”


    He could imagine Cyrus’ jaw hitting the ground through the phone.


    “Damn! That’s fucking awesome!”
