Jameson donned a patient’s gown in a hospital VIP ward. Then, he reclined in bed. His handsome and
delicate face lost its color, and his lips resembled pale, wilting petals, portraying a frail image that
evoked
sympathy.
“Mr. Schmidt, why are you so foolish?”
Todd stood by the bed, still visibly shaken. “Mr. Schmidt, do you realize how dangerously close you
came to being seriously hurt by that horse? if it had trampled you, you might have lost your life right
then, and all your hardships and ns in Kontina would have been for nothing!”
Jameson gradually opened his eyes and smirked. “Todd, it seems you’re genuinely concerned and care
about me.”
Todd was startled. Tears welled up in his eyes as he began, “Mr. Schmidt..
He had been with Jameson for eight years, first as a runner and now as a secretary. Although his role
had
changed, his status hadn’t. He remained a devoted subordinate.
Jameson was exceedingly shrewd and suspicious, maintaining a cold and guarded distance from
everyone.
Over the years, men and women, except Alyssa, couldn’t get close to him. Nobody could open up his
heart.
Todd didn’t have any close friends, so when Jameson addressed him as “Todd”, it undoubtedly brought
them closer and made Todd feel like he was one of Jameson’s own. That moved him to tears.
“Mr. Schmidt, health is your most important asset. You must take good care of yourself!”
“I’ll do anything for Lyse!*
Jameson took a deep breath as he mentioned Alyssa, and his typically cold gaze softened. He said,
“And
I also want to show Lyse that I can be someone willing to risk my life for her-it’s not just Jasper.
In the future, when she needs help, she’ll think of me first instead of Jasper.”
The second sentence was intriguing.
Todd understood the implication and nodded with a serious look. “You’re right. How can a man like
Jasper, with a promiscuous andplicated life, deserve someone like Ms. Alyssa?
“Ms. Alyssa is smart. She won’t fall into the same trap twice, will she?”

Jameson’s eyes grew colder. He didn’t respond.
At that moment, his phone, ced beside the pillow, vibrated.
He picked it up and checked the screen. But before he could respond, the ward’s door opened.
“Jimmy, are you asleep?”
Upon hearing Alyssa’s voice, Jameson quickly hid the phone under his pillow and greeted her with a
warm
smile.
“Lyse, I told you not to worry about me. I’m fine.”
Alyssa entered the room and observed the man’s pale, fragile appearance, which saddened her. /ter
all,
he had be like this to save her.
“I’ve also said that I’ll take full responsibility for your injuries, Alyssa said as she walked up to him with a
gentle tone.
Jameson’s heart warmed, and his eyes grew slightly teary.
“Ms. Alyssa, you also fell. Are you okay?” Todd had a keen eye, and he asked with concern.
“No big deal, I’m fine. I’m concerned about you, Jameson. You have a broken arm, cracked ribs, and
five external wounds. You need to be hospitalized. You need to rest,’ Alyssa calmly reminded Jameson.
Alyssa had some minor scrapes on her, but she didn’t seem concerned.
Jameson chuckled lightly and said, “Lyse, I don’t need to be hospitalized. I know my body.”
“What’s with you men? Jasper, too, after such a major surgery, didn’t stay in the hospital! Is the hospital
haunted, or you can’t afford the hospital bills?”
Alyssa’s lips moved quickly as she spoke in a rapid-fire manner.
As she finished speaking, she suddenly froze, clenching her fingers tightly.
For some reason, she couldn’t help but think of Jasper. Thoughts of him often overwhelmed her. She
couldn’t help it.
Jameson’s heart tightened as he fought against the jealousy woiling up. His pale lips twitched as he
said, Lyse, it looks like you really care about Mr. Beckett. You can think of him anytime, anywhere. It’s
clear that
he holds an important ce in your heart.”
Alyssa took a deep breath and stared at him with a calm look. “Do you want to hear the truth?”
Jameson’s chest tightened, and he pressed his lips together.
“He’s indeed important to me.”
