Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 1022
Axel seemed to have inherited the Taylors’ traits of being vindictive
and bitter.
Every time Axel thought of how Jasper treated his sister, he couldn’t help but take a jab at Jasper. For a second, he almost forgot
that Jasper was battling for his life in the operating room.
“He faced bullying in school due to his background, but he hid his wounds to avoid worrying his mom. He never shared his
struggles
with her.”
Axel interjected angrily, “Fuck! I hate school bullies the most! They are pure evil.” Crushing his cigarette box, he felt a fire burning
within.” Why was Jasper so weak? He could have beaten the hell out of them. I couldn’t believe that Jasper Beckett was bullied.
He should ha rammed them with his Rolls-Royce or something.”
“It’s easy to go against a guy or two, but what happens when bullies you?” Landon questioned with pangs of sympathy.
Axel’s eyes wavered as he inadvertently clenched his fists.
Landon explained, “Axel, you were born to Mr. Taylor and the woma he loved the most, and you were raised pampered. Just like
you, I grew up in a relatively simple family-the only son to loving parents. People like us will never understand Jasper’s pain of
bearing the mark of an illegitimate child. We probably will never understand the pressure of walking on thin ice at home.”
Axel fell into deep thoughts upon hearing that. Indeed, Jasper was the
child of Javier Beckett’s lover, and he had an older half-brother. Later
on, Javier married the calculative and cruel Sophia Kirkman. Since then, Jasper had been suffering in silence.

“That’s why I said I was Jasper’s only friend. He is averse to making. new friends, or in other words, he has sealed off his heart.
Besides, he’s used to loneliness and is fine being alone.”

However, no one would truly enjoy solitude. Those who lived in
solitude were the ones who had no choice.
Axel blurted out, “I take back what I said.”
“What?”
“Looks like the Harper family raises their children well. At least you. did not blindly bully Jasper just because everyone ganged up
against
him.”
Axel’s remark reminded Landon of Zoe’s horrible behavior and her devilish expression, which he would rather forget when she
bullied.
Lauren.
Smiling bitterly, he secretly blamed himself for not guiding hi
onto the right path. He felt as if he had failed as Zoe’s father
life.
“You might look like a fool, but you’re a good egg,” Axel remarked, patting Landon on the shoulder when he walked past. “Jasper
Beck will have one more friend starting today.”
Feeling touched, Landon turned around, only to find Axel disappearing
toward the end of the corridor.
Meanwhile, Jonah and Miley kept Alyssa company in the corridor outside the operating room, anxiously waiting for the surgery to
end.
“Lyse, the major operation might last until dawn. Why don’t you take a rest in an empty room?” Miley hugged Alyssa and sensed
the lack of warmth on Alyssa’s skin.

Not only that, Alyssa was trembling. Miley worried that Alyssa’s. health might suffer from pulling an all-nighter.
Alyssa insisted, “I’m fine. I’ll just wait here. I’m too worried to fall asleep anyway when he’s still in surgery.”
“Lyse.” Jonah sat beside her and questioned sternly, “What are your thoughts on Inigo Montoye-the person that the police chief
mentioned?”
Hearing that, Miley grumbled, “Gosh, Jonah. Let Lyse take a rest. Can’t you discuss this another day? Jeremy and I will also
pressure the Tsulu authorities to look into this case. We won’t let this slip.”
Alyssa gently patted Miley on the arm and reassured her, “It’s fine, Miley. I wanted to discuss it too.”
She turned to Jonah with a somber look and said, “Jonah, I find the attack on you and Jasper at Shelland Island quite
suspicious.”
