The air in the spacious corridor hung heavy.


    Jasper was stung by the sight of Alyssa leaning weakly in Jameson’s arms. Tears welled up in his


    eyes.


    Jasper thought that Alyssa’s rtionship with Jameson developed speedily during his absence. Feeling


    bitter, he stared at his feet and tightened his grip on Newton’s wheelchair handle.


    Jameson did not flinch at Newton and Jasper’s presence. He addressed Alyssa with affection and


    concern, “Lyse, you’ve justpleted a difficult surgery. You’re exhausted and need rest. I’ll send you


    home.”


    Alyssa, however, brushed aside his concern and approached Newton with a worried expression.


    Kneeling, she gently held Newton’s wrinkled hand. “Grandpa, why are you at the hospital? Do you feel


    unwell?”


    Jasper pursed his lips after he was ignored by Alyssa. She seemed only to have eyes for Jameson.


    “I’m fine. It’s just a heart issue. It red up, so Jasper insisted on sending me to the hospital at night,”


    Newton exined while looking at Alyssa lovingly.


    “Grandpa, you cannot ck off. You need to go for regr checkups like I asked you to,” Alyssa


    reminded him, feeling worried.


    “Alice, is this…” Newton turned his gaze to Jameson.


    “Hello, Mr. Beckett Senior. I am Jameson Schmidt,” Jameson introduced himself.


    “Oh, I remember now. I saw you at L’s birthday party. You’re Victor Schmidt’s youngest son, the


    talented fellow,” Newton politelyplimented Jameson.


    However, he felt uneasy upon seeing the intimacy between Jameson and Alyssa. He feared that the


    two were dating.


    Besides, he clearly sensed the tension between Alyssa and Jasper this time. It was worse than the


    time when they were newly divorced. He felt troubled by the situation.

    Just as Newton was about to chat with Alyssa, he was interrupted by a sweet voice, “Grandpa, how are


    you doing?”


    Alyssa looked up coldly and spotted Zoe running toward them in pajamas, trailed by two bodyguards


    who kept a distance from her.


    Newton frowned upon seeing Zoe, and he red at Jasper. Jasper furrowed his brow and cast an icy


    After a pause, she finally questioned him tly, “Jimmy, was that you?”


    His heart leaped into his throat. “What?”


    She refrained from interrogating him. She slowly rose from the bench and announced, “I’m hungry. I’ll


    go get some food.”


    Worried about her, Jameson rose from the bench and said, “I’ll go with you.”


    Suddenly, Alyssa pressed against her forehead. She felt dizzy, nauseous, and frail. Due to ack of


    food intake, her blood sugar was dangerously low, causing her to suffer from fainting spells.


    Thankfully, Jameson quickly held her, saving her from a fall. “Lyse…”


    A familiar voice echoed in the hallway. “Alice?”


    She opened her eyes and turned slowly, only to be taken aback by what she saw.


    Not far away, Jasper, looking stoic, wheeled Newton over to her. Newton looked astonished to see her


    at the hospital.
