However, Sean lost hisposure and teared up when he saw Jonah and Julien tagging along with
Alyssa and Jasper. What had he done to deserve their concern?
"Sean." Jonah grinned, lightening up the mood. "You must have suffered. We''re here to take you
home."
"Mr. Jonah—" Sean choked on his tears and struggled to speak.
All of a sudden, Alyssa dashed over to face off with Sean before Jasper could react to it. Jasper''s heart
raced upon seeing that, and he tensed up.
He thought Alyssa had calmed down, but she seemed incensed the moment she saw Sean.
"Why did you admit to your guilt?" Panting heavily, she blushed in anger.
Sean grappled with the piercing pain upon hearing her question. His dry lips parted. "Ms. Alyssa... I''m
sorry."
Rage colored her teary eyes. She lifted her arm, ready to punch Sean in the face.
"Lyse, no!"
"Lyse!"
Sean did not move at all. His eyes grew mistier. Finally, shended the punch on his shoulder. She
hissed, "Why did you do that? Are you crazy? We should take responsibility for beating up David

Schmidt. It''s not your ce to y the hero!"
"Ms. Alyssa, I was just worried for you." Sean struggled to get his words out. "You went through a lot to
be with Mr. Beckett again. I didn''t want to see you in trouble."
Jasper felt a deep, searing pain that shook him to his core. Alyssa, who had been holding back, started
sobbing even though she had not noticed it. "Sean, do you think I''ll be grateful to you? Not at all! If
Jonah hadn''t kept a card up his sleeve, you would have been in jail now!
"Why would you im that you are doing this for us? Do you know you''re not alone now? You have
Taty. What would she do if you were in jail? Have you ever thought about her?"
Tatiana. A jolt coursed through Sean''s body. His chest tightened in pain.
"I hate you! I hate you so!" Alyssa proceeded to punch Sean, only to be stopped by Jasper from
behind.
Giving her a back hug, Jasper soothed her, "Lyse, calm down. Sean is free, and that''s all that matters
now. It''s all in the past.
"I know you''re worried sick for him, but he must have suffered for days. Why don''t we let him rest at
home before offering you an apology? How does that sound?"
She finally calmed down under his coaxing. Jonah and Julien exchanged looks. Jasper seemed to be
the only person who could handle the sassy and rash Alyssa.
A car was waiting for them at the entrance. They were about to see Sean off when he suddenly spun
around. His heart beat wildly as he opened his mouth and yelled at the top of his lungs, "Taty... Taty!"
