Jonah tentatively asked, "Lyse, would you harbor resentment toward me if I ever
lied to you?"
Alyssa's eyes widened in astonishment. "Resentment" was a weighty term to
introduce into their conversation. She hadn't anticipated such a question from
Jonah.
"Jonah, did something happen? Why that sudden question?" She grabbed his
muscular arm and swung it gently. "Just tell me what's on your mind. Don't give
me a scare, okay?"
Jonah stared at the ground with a dispirited look on his face.
"Jonah, no matter what you did, I'll always see you as my brother. I won't hate
you." Alyssa choked up with emotions, perhaps from the compounding stress of
Winston's situation and Jonah's moody remark. "Whatever happens, just know
that you're the best. You're irreplaceable!”
"You silly goose." Smiling wryly, he stroked her head softly as Jasper watched
on.
In the past, Jasper would have turned green in envy at the sight. However, he
was solely concerned about Jonah at that moment. For some reason, he felt that
Jonah was hesitant and troubled.
Jonah had always been enigmatic to Jasper. Their shared experience at
Shelland Island only confirmed Jasper's guess about Jonah's well-hidden and
shocking past.
Suddenly, they heard frenzied footsteps closing in.
"Lyse! Jonah!"
They looked in the direction of the sounds and appeared surprised. "Mandy? W-
Why is everyone here?"
Winston's three wives showed up at the hospital. Silas, Cyrus, and Tatiana had
taken leave to join them. Even Liam, who was stationed far away in Leichtown,
turned up. The entire family had assembled.
Alyssa and Jonah shot up from their seats and exchanged astonished looks,
feeling confused as they had not revealed anything to the other family members.
Jasper pressed his lips and stepped back to offer some privacy for the Taylors
who had gathered at the hospital, including Liam. Thankfully, Landon wasn't
around, for he would have teased him about being a husband who was beneath
his in-laws, making him feel like the bottom banana in the bunch.
"Lyse, what happened to Dad? How did his condition worsen?" Silas’ voice was
filled with worry, his breath heavy. "How did he wet himself in public?"
"Silas, how did you know about that?" Alyssa was taken aback. Jasper's chest
tightened. A glint of suspicion flickered in his eyes as he instinctively thought of
Dominic.
