Jonah blushed, his heart pounding when he met Julien’s passionate eyes. He remarked, “You look


    pale. You must have been overworked.”


    “Are you worried about me?” A tender look crossed Julien’s enchanting eyes.


    Gulping, Jonah managed to respond, “Yeah.”


    Julien was incredibly ted at Jonah’s curt reply, and he no longer held onto the resentment from


    earlier. He was easily appeased, all because he had helplessly fallen for Jonah.


    He silently leaned into Jonah’s arms and exined, “I extracted the bullet from Mr. Beckett’s left


    shoulder and the arrow on his back. Thankfully, the arrow wasn’t poisoned, or he might not have


    survived.


    “Even so, he is in a critical condition. The arrow narrowly miss organ by half an inch. I’m sure everyone


    here knows the consequences of organ rupture. Even if Dr. White were here, she wouldn’t be able to


    save his life.”


    A stunned silence enveloped the group. Alyssa shivered, feeling a crushing weight on her chest. Tears


    brimmed in her eyes.


    As Dr. White herself, she was fully aware of the gravity of Jasper’s situation after hearing Julien’s


    ount.


    “How about now? How’s he holding up?” Landon pressed on.


    “We’ve extracted the bullet and arrow and performed blood infusion. He has disyed early signs of


    organ failure. He’s still in critical condition.” Julien, as a doctor, was honest with his assessment.


    A fresh wave of concern swept over everyone present upon that evaluation. Alyssa felt drained as she


    plunged into an icy depth.


    In her moments of helplessness, Jasper would read her emotions. He’d wrap her up in his jacket or


    offer her a hug to warm her up.


    Despite carrying herself as a strong and invincible woman, in Jasper’s eyes, she was just an ordinary


    woman in need of protection and care. “Can I … check on him?” she asked, turning to Julien with misty


    eyes.


    “He’ll be transferred to the ICU. You may visit him after he’s out of critical condition,” whispered Julien.

    She nodded slowly and swallowed hard. “Alright, I’ll wait.”


    Julien, not one to be easily moved, found himself sympathizing with Alyssa as he witnessed her


    dejected look.


    After Jeremy donated his blood to Jasper, the medical staff sent him to a patient room to rest.
