Jasper said, "Your family is all inside..."
"So? Do I have to join them? Will squeezing in get me some reward?" Axel tilted
his head and narrowed his eyes.
Looking at his mischievous expression, Jasper smiled faintly.
Despite Axel's tough demeanor, the faint redness at the corners of his eyes
betrayed his concern for Winston.
A voice called out urgently, "Axel!"
Liam had rushed back from Leichtown overnight. He was still in his military
uniform.
"Liam!" Axel's eyes lit up, and he hurried over.
"How's Dad?" Liam's eyes were red from exhaustion. He was decisive on the
battlefield, but now he appeared cautious.
Axel's usually sharp gaze softened as he placed his hand on Liam's shoulder
badge. "Don't worry. He has woken up.”
"That's good. I'll go in and see Dad."
Liam finally relaxed. Just as he wanted to enter the ward, he noticed Jasper's tall
figure standing nearby. His expression darkened at once.
"Why is he here?"
Jasper's throat tightened, his long lashes trembling slightly.
Scratching his head, Axel grinned, revealing a row of white teeth. "Who else is
going to be here if not him? He follows where his woman goes, of course."
"His woman?"
Liam's tone was icy, devoid of any warmth. "You guys are so easily swayed by
him?"
"Liam, I—"
"No matter how he tries to make amends now, it's useless. In my eyes, the harm
he caused Lyse is unforgivable."
Liam's eyes turned red. His gaze was so sharp, like a blade on Jasper's neck. "I
will never forget the pain Lyse endured because of him. Lyse's child died
because of this jackass!"
After saying that, he stepped inside and slammed the door shut. Jasper stood
rooted to the spot, his mouth agape, overwhelmed by a surge of emotions that
constricted his throat and brought tears to his eyes.
"Hey, are you still here?"
Axel snapped his fingers in front of Jasper, causing the latter to startle and bow
his head. "Sorry."
"Sorry my ass! Look at you, with your head hung low like a wilted plant. I really
want to hit you with a stun gun!"
Axel punched Jasper hard in the chest. Despite the impact, Jasper remained
unmoved.

Jasper's Adam's apple bobbed. "I'm pestering her, aren't I? Don't worry. For Lyse,
1 can be even more shameless than Jameson."
Axel nodded approvingly, his expression saying, "You've got potential.”
"I just—"
"It's all in the past." Axel's voice interrupted him, shaking his head.
"In Lyse's journey to find her partner, we can only protect her, not judge her. If
she's completely at peace, we have no right to meddle.
