Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 520
Jasper’s soul felt like it had been torn apart, and his heart twisted with a crushing pain.
What had he ever done for Alyssa? Nothing.
He had never proposed to her and given her anything she deserved as his wife. He left her behind on their
first night of marriage and slept in a separate quarter.
He had never celebrated festivals or anniversaries with her nor bought her any gifts. That year, when she
was involved in a car crash with Newton, he did not even rush to her side promptly.
All of these terrible actions paled in comparison to the fact that he had been in love with another woman,
squandering Alyssa’s best years and making a mockery of her love.
His eyes welled up with emotion. He tightly clasped her hand, pressing it against his chest while breathing
heavily.
He felt remorseful for his past actions, but it was too little, too late.
Like Jonah, Liam understood the depth of Alyssa’s suffering over the years. The thought of it broke his
heart every time.
He began, “Jasper, Lyse has given up too much for you. Did you know that she almost lost her life
because of you? To go after you, she-”
“Liam Taylor, that’s enough!” Jonah interrupted him firmly, his brows furrowed.
Liam bit back his words but clenched his fists in frustration. Oh, how he wished he could punch Jasper in
the face!

Still, he wasn’t as rash as Axel. After years of holding an important position in the military, his temper had mellowed. Now, he
was more sensible and calm.
He’d only lose his temper over matters concerning Lyse.
“What did that mean?” Jasper questioned as he felt a stinging pain.
He couldn’t shake the feeling that Alyssa had been keeping an even bigger secret from him. Doubts gnawed at him. “You
mentioned she nearly lost her life for me. When did this happen? Tell me!”
“Mr. Beckett,” said Jonah with a grave expression. “The grudges between you and Lyse are in the past. We won’t look into it if
she doesn’t want to bring it up. It’s time to put an end to your conflict with her and
move on.
“However, if you continue intruding on her life from now on, I will not hesitate to act on you.”

Hearing that, Liam added, “Stay out of her life if you want to honor your past relationship with her. You’ve
already caused her enough pain. Do you really want to ruin the rest of her life? You do not deserve to be
with her after casting her aside like trash.”
Alyssa was rushed to the hospital by Jonah and Liam. Jonah kept the news under wraps and discreetly
arranged for a helicopter from Leichtown. Winston remained unaware of what had happened to his
daughter.
Had he known about Alyssa’s precarious situation, he would have gone on a rampage in Solana City.
Jasper had not once left Alyssa’s side. He left the helicopter and followed Jonah and Liam closely.
He stayed by her even as she was taken into the emergency room, and it wasn’t until she received
medical help and was warded that he finally felt a sense of relief.

“Have you forgotten what you said? You said you’d leave once we reached the hospital. Why are you still
around?” Liam grumbled, blocking Alyssa’s patient room door with his stocky frame.
“I’ll leave when she wakes up,” Jasper muttered with a pale face and stood there with a straight back. He
admitted that he was rather shameless.
Xavier was right. Jasper wasn’t fated to be with Alyssa. He would have to be a little more thick-skinned if
he wanted to cling to her.
“You shameless rascal!” Liam cursed in frustration, unable to contain his annoyance at Jasper despite his
usually gentlemanly ways.
