Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

Chapter 524
“It’s my duty to protect her. I would never ask for any reward or praise,” Jasper remarked. He closed his eyes as a dull pain
pulsed in his chest. “I am only making amends for wronging her in the last three years.”
“With your life?”
“Well, I can’t make amends with money, can I? Do you realize how wealthy her family is?” Jasper’s temper flared.
Landon scratched his head. Right, Alyssa could afford anything with her wealth.
Jasper’s thoughts drifted to the memory of her pale face in his arms, which only intensified his heartache.
He wondered if she was awake now and if her fever had subsided. He also couldn’t help but worry if she suffered any fractures
from hanging onto the cliff.
She was all he could think about.

His heart raced at the thought of it. His breaths grew heavy, and his cheeks flushed.
“Hm, why are your cheeks red? Do you have a fever?” Landon wanted to take Jasper’s temperature by
touching the forehead, but Jasper swatted his hand away.
“Ouch! That fucking hurt!” Landon grinned while shaking his hand. “You’ve got quite the strength. Looks

complexion left Jasper dazzled.
She strutted in her iconic high heels, her head held high. She didn’t look sick at all.
She was literally glowing from head to toe when she gave Jasper a frosty stare. Her actions made it seem

kisses.
Jasper pressed his parched lips together and put on a look of dismay.
“I’m asking you. Answer me!” Though she appeared emotionless, she silently observed his pale
expression, which only fueled her anger.
Her irritation grew as she scolded him, “What’s your plan? Keeping your injuries hidden from me and
avoiding me physically? Is this your way of grabbing my attention?”
Landon was caught off guard by Alyssa’s domineering air. On the other hand, Jasper looked like a
disgruntled spouse as he weakly sat on the bed and shot a begrudging look at Alyssa.
Once the idea crossed Landon’s mind, he suddenly saw the situation in a comical light. He couldn’t help
but guffaw.
