Yet, it felt as if Alyssa’s soul had gone over to Jasper’s side. All that was left was a beautiful outer shell.


    Jonah let out a quiet sigh. He unbuttoned one of his shirt buttons and reached into his cor. He


    retrieved a silver cross, which he wore at all times.


    “Give this to Jasper when he wakes up.”


    He ced the chain into Alyssa’s palm and closed her fingers around


    “Jonah, this… This is…” she stammered in surprise, her eyes reflecting a sense of astonishment.


    “This chain isn’t worth much, but it holds significant meaning to me. I’ve been wearing it for over ten


    years. Mysterious as it may seem, it has protected me all these years. Whenever I find myself in


    danger or get into big trouble, it has helped me get out of those situations.”

    Jonah smiled bitterly, but he had a burning determination in his eyes at the same time.


    He continued, “Now that it hase to this, there is nothing else that I can do. It is all up to God. We


    just have to wait and see if Jasper is strong enough to get through this. As for me, I can only pray for


    him. I’ll ce my hope in God. I hope you won’tugh at me, Lyse.”


    Alyssa sniffled. Unable to hold back her tears, she started crying again, burying her head into Jonah’s


    arms and sobbing like a devastated child.


    “Jonah, thank you. Thanks…”


    “Don’t be silly. I’ll be angry if you don’t stop thanking me,” Jonah


    Mixed feelings welled up in Alyssa’s heart, and she bawled her eyes out.


    “Lyse, once Jasper regains consciousness, you should treat him well. At the very least, stop making


    things difficult for him. Don’t be mad at him anymore.”


    Jonah gently stroked the top of her head. He sighed, “He has really tried his best for you. I don’t think I


    could have done the same as he did if it were me.”


    Once again, the scene when Jasper rushed to her and shielded her from the arrow shed across her


    eyes.


    “Lyse, don’t cry…”


    She closed her eyes tight, but tears continued streaming down her face.


    The Taylor family arrived at the hospital and entered the underground parking lot.


    When they arrived, Landon was already there, waiting for them.


    The moment Alyssa got out of the car, she ran toward him with an anxious and worried look in her


    eyes. “How is Jasper?” she asked.


    Landon exined, “He’s in the emergency room. His surgeon is someone you know.”


    “Someone I know… Is it Julien?” She was sharp and figured it out in a heartbeat.


    Then, she turned back to look at Jonah.


    Jonah looked back at her calmly. Simply from the look in his eyes,


    “Yeah. He has been in surgery for about three hours.”


    Landon was very concerned. He feltpelled to object.


    “Lyse, I heard that Dr. Lovce is a rtive of Mrs. Taylor. Is he reliable? He looked so goofy. It’s like


    as if he is here to y. Why does he look so unreliable?


    “Would it be better if you were to take over in person? You were the one who operated on Jasper’s


    brainst time, weren’t you?”


    Alyssa was at a loss for words.


    “y? I’ll show him what y is.”


    Axel put his hand by the car window with a cigarette between his fingers. He couldn’t help but mock,


    “He’s a fop. Seems like the Harper family failed to teach you about that.”


    “Good on you for knowing what it means, smarty pants,” Landon scoffed in response.


    Landon simply pouted and mumbled to himself because he was


    Alyssa’s brother. He would’veshed out a long time ago if it were. someone else.


    “In Mosgravia, Dr. Lovce’s medical capabilities areparable with Dr. White’s.”


    Jonah furrowed his brows slightly. He then asked in a voice cold enough to make anyone shiver, “You


    are also from a wealthy and reputable family, Mr. Landon. You should be able toprehend that there


    is always someone better than you out there, right?”
