Can’t Win Me Back

Chapter 514

All Alyssa could feel in the endless cold was how warm her hands were.

Jasper heid onto her hands, making sure her fingers were kept safe from the harsh weather. It felt like the only thing keeping her near-dead nerves alive.

His back was hurting like mad where the boulder had hit his spine. Still, he was doing a good job of hiding

his pain. He didn’t want her to worry.

Just this once, Jasper wanted her to know she could rely on and be safe with him.

“Ugh… It’s cold. Hurry up then…” Alyssa grumbled.

“Hold on a bit longer. We should be able to find shelter soon.” Every breath Jasper took evaporated into
