Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Alyssa listened to Mandy's words, eyes slowly tearing up.
Battered and bruised...
Barely breathing.
What suffering did her mother go through to have nearly lost her life in a foreign
country?
Jasper held on to Alyssa's trembling hand, asking Mandy curiously, "During all
the years Mrs. Taylor was here in Belbanks alone and after giving birth to so
many children, did she never once thought to contact her own family or return to
her home country?"
Mandy shook her head, eyes downcast. "No, not once. Winston even changed
Jennifer's lawful nationality and gave her a new identity, cutting her off entirely
from her past."
Both Jasper and Alyssa were even more confused now. What did Jennifer
undergo to be willing to hide her identity and permanently part ways with her
home country?
Alyssa was all the more curious about her mother's identity now.
"I don't have answers for whatever more you might want to ask, Lyse. Your father
has also privately reminded me on countless occasions to never tell you this
information about your mother,” Mandy said.
She then held Alyssa's hand and pleaded tearfully, "I don’t know why Winston is
doing this, but you must trust him. He truly did love Jennifer and loves you in
turn.
"All he does, he does for your well-being, nothing else. So, Lyse, just pretend I
never told you about Jennifer today. Don't ask Winston about it. Okay?"
Alyssa loved her mother deeply, but she didn't want to trouble Mandy, so she
could only nod tearfully.
Winston's health had once again deteriorated due to Dominic's actions, just as he
had started to show signs of improvement.
Fortunately, Julien arrived in time to check up on Winston and gave him some
medications to stabilize his condition.
When Julien returned to his office and shut the door, he slumped back in his
chair, exhausted to the max. As Winston's primary doctor, he was under great
pressure.
Winston was his lover's father, after all. Who could understand the pressure of
having to execute your job well in front of your future father-in-law?
Julien splayed himself on the desk with his mouth crumpled up grumpily. Julien
had helped Winston whenever the latter had a sudden and dangerous decline in
health, saving him from death's door countless times.
It had been three whole days of no sleep and long hours spent standing on his
feet, making him both exhausted and hungry. But Jonah, heartless as he was,
only worried over Winston and never once checked in on Julien.
Julien, accustomed to wine and the company of men, had always navigated life
effortlessly, winning over whomever he pleased. But encountering Jonah
changed everything, as Julien found himself in uncharted territory, experiencing
the discomfort of being outplayed by another man.

"Julien."
Julien's heart raced, and his grip around the door instinctively tightened.
Jonah's gentle call of his name had made him instantly slip into a daze.
