“My dear son! You finally called!” Javier eximed with a smile. He was uncharacteristically warm and


    friendly.


    Jasper blinked, taken aback by the warmth in Javier’s tone. He had never enjoyed such a cordial


    conversation with his father, and Javier had never addressed him as “dear son.”


    Javier seemed to reserve his paternal affection for Justin alone, and that stung Jasper. He couldn’t


    help. but wonder if Javier considered Sophia his one true love and Justin his sole son


    The overt favoritism was outrageous, leaving Jasper at a loss for words.


    “Dad, how are you?” Justin asked. He had a distinctive chest voice and was loud enough to be heard


    by


    Jasper.


    “I’m good. How about you? Are you recovering well at Mosgravia? Any relees? Javier questioned. He


    had flown to Mosgraviast year to visit Justin but was too busy to do the same the year


    “I’m doing well, Dad. Please don’t worry about me,” Justin answered. Then, he shifted the topic with


    concern, “I heard that Jasper’s hospitalized. How is he doing? Is it a serious case?”


    Jasper furrowed his brows, touched by Justin’s concern but also bewildered by Justin’s updated


    knowledge of his younger brother’s life after years of living abroad.


    Javier informed Justin, “Jasper underwent a major surgery. He was in aa for a few days, but he’s


    awake now.”


    Justin wondered, “Are you visiting him at the hospital now?”


    “Yes, your grandpa and I are here in Jasper’s room.”


    “Can you pass the phone to Jasper? I’d like to talk to him.”


    Javier agreed and handed the phone to Jasper, saying, “Justin wants to speak to you


    Jasper took the phone hesitantly and said, “Hey, Justin.


    “Jasper, I’m worried after hearing that you were badly injured. I wish I could fly home to visit you, but


    Justin sounded genuinely concerned.


    *Justin, I’m fine. Your health condition doesn’t allow for long flights, and I wouldn’t want you to suffer fo


    my sake, Jasper reassured him with a smile Tm on the mend now, so please don’t worry

    Justin then inquired, Was Ms. Alyssa your surgeon?”


    Jasper was


    “Alveun was my sister inw, but you got a diver this year or surprised that she’d put aside the


    operate on you Head’s very teenus


    “Even though both of you are divord, you should be on greet terms with a kind and noble soul like


    Alyssa Justin sanded a little regretful


    Alyona”


    Jasper pressed his lips, wondering how bustin had kept tale on events in Cys despite living in


    Mengravia for yours.


    He admitted, “Justin, our divorce was my fault Imissed out on a remarkable wornan. I did this to myself,


    He clenched his fists with determination. “But I am determined to win her back, even if it takes my


    entire


    life to do so. She was my wife, and she will be my wife again”


    Javier was struck by Jasper’s unwaveringmitment. He believed Alyssa was a fine woman.


    However,


    to him, it would be unwise of Jaspest to upend his life for a woman’s sake.
