Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alyssa picked the medicine bottle up and took a closer look. The next moment, she covered her mouth in utter shock. She was
on the verge of tears.
"Cerebral ischemic stroke. This medication is to treat cerebral ischemic stroke. Lovelace Pharmaceuticals developed this and
only produced a limited amount yearly. Even people loaded with money can't buy it."
Mandy looked at Winston painfully. Her heartache was hard to conceal. "However, this year, the medication couldn't stabilize his
condition anymore. When your father fell sick twice at the beginning of last year, he pulled through with this medication."
"D-Did all of you know about this? Am I the only one who is clueless?" Tears streamed down Alyssa's face. Her heart was
shattered.
"No. Jonah and Silas don't know either. Your father didn't want to tell all of you. He was afraid you would panic and worry.
Mandy squatted down. She took a square silk handkerchief and dabbed the sweat from Winston's forehead. "Lyse, don't be
angry at your father. He loves you too much. He was afraid you would get hurt or be looked down upon. He cared for you too
much and didn't know better."
"Look down upon? Who would dare to do that?"
Colene's voice was hoarse. Her eyes were red from the tears, but her gaze was fierce. "Lyse is the eldest daughter of the Taylor
family. If anyone dared to look down on her, I would scratch that person's eyeballs out and rip their tongue off."
Alyssa held her father's cold hand tightly. She lowered her head deeply.
She should have known better.
She should have been more behaved.
She was too reckless. She went everywhere for Jasper and didn't even care to ask about how the family was doing. She was
completely clueless about her father's condition.
She wondered why she behaved this way.
At this moment, the doorbell rang.
Mandy collected herself and went to the door. "Who is it?"

"Mrs. Taylor, you have a guest. He is waiting outside the door," Clark said respectfully.
"A guest at this hour? Who is it?"
"Mr. Jameson."
Alyssa's eyes dimmed. She slowly got up. It was as if a cold breeze had swept the place. "Mandy, you stay here with Dad. I will
go and meet him."
Alyssa walked out of Heightsnew Villa with heavy steps.
Under the dazzling door light, Jameson stood there alone as he waited patiently. He looked tall under the light. His face looked
gentle, and his eyes were bright.
From every angle, he didn't look like a malicious man who only did the worst things.
When Jameson heard the door open, he looked up abruptly. The pair of beautiful eyes behind the gold- rimmed glasses smiled
delightfully. His lips curled into a smile as warm as the sun.
"Lyse."
He called for her longingly.
Alyssa's gorgeous face was cold and glum as she stepped closer to the man.
"Lyse, I ..."
"What do you want?" Her tone was icy. She was no longer as warm and friendly as she used to be.
Jameson felt as if a knife had pierced his heart. He clenched his fingers. He was concerned. "I met Uncle Winston at an event I
attended today. He didn't look too well when he rested in the VIP lounge. He was struggling to complete the event. I was worried
even after I went home. So I came to check on him."
