Silas and Liam exited the room and closed the door behind them to offer Alyssa
and Julien some privacy.
"Julien..." Alyssa called out to him softly.
Suddenly, she found herself at a loss for words. It did not seem like an
appropriate time to comfort him or discuss his relationship with Jonah.
After what felt like a long silence, Julien hung his head low as a tear rolled down
his cheek. "Lyse, I'm sorry."
Shaking her head furiously, she gently comforted him, "Julien, this is not your
fault. You don't owe anyone an apology. There's nothing wrong in loving Jonah."
"It's my fault." Julien mumbled with his head kept low like a criminal. His
confident self was nowhere to be seen. "Aunt Mandy was right. I ruined Jonah's
life. Things would have been different if I had listened to her.
"Lyse, I am at fault. I'm being selfish. I would rather be the one to pay the price.
I'm willing to sacrifice anything as long as Jonah isn't hurt. I would like everything
to go back to how it was, but I think it's too late."
A wave of pain rolled through her. She had a lump in her throat. Putting aside
Jonah's suffering, Julien seemed to be utterly destroyed.
Julien continued, "Just now, I got in touch with a senior I'm on good terms with.
He's a renowned neurologist who pays attention to details and is known for his
good character.
"Please get his help to treat Mr. Winston. He's as good as I am."
Alyssa's eyes wavered in shock. She croaked, "Julien, what about you? What are
you going to do?"
"I'm going home to Mosgravia." He flashed her a bitter smile. "I will likely never
return after this trip back to Mosgravia."
"That won't do! How is Jonah going to cope if you leave?" She worriedly grabbed
his arm. "You love Jonah very much. You should know him well. Do you
remember his reaction when the scandal first broke?
"He assumed all the responsibility because he didn't want you scolded and
harassed. He'd risk his reputation to protect you."
He slowly raised his eyes to meet her gaze. An agonizing pain raged within him.
"Don't you get it? Jonah has decided to give up on everything just to be with
you." She grasped his arm so hard that his coat sleeve wrinkled. "What does
your relationship mean if you dump him? What about the sacrifices he'd made?
"You risked being beaten by family and disowned just to return to Jonah's side. Is
this the outcome you want after all that determination you showed? Are you
happy that it has come to this?"
"Of course I'm not!" Finally, Julien broke down and cried. "But Lyse, what good
does it do? Society will not accept us. Your dad and your entire family will not
approve of us.
"I'm willing to give everything up for Jonah, but I don't want him to lose everything
for me. He needs to be the happiest man in the world, or I'd rather have never
met him."
"There's only one way to make Jonah happy.” She stared at him intensely and
said, "And that is you staying by his side and never giving up on him."
Never giving up on Jonah...
Julien trembled violently at the notion.

He pressed his lips hard as he battled his overwhelming emotions, but he failed
to stop his tears from falling.
"Lyse?" They heard Jasper's low voice from the other side of the door.
After consoling Julien, Alyssa rose to answer the door.
"What's wrong, Jasper?" She pressed her body against his and held his hand.
Jasper quickly peered into the room before holding her waist. He whispered,
"The Lovelaces are here. Their cars have entered the hospital's underground
parking garage.”
