Can’t Win Me Back

Newton's condition stabilized after getting his fluids replenished.

He had a sound afternoon nap at the hospital before Alyssa escorted him home in the evening.

Right as Alyssa and Sean exited the villa, they ran into Jasper, who had just rushed home.

"Lyse!" Jasper wrapped his arms tightly around Alyssa, his labored breathing betraying his urgency.

"Thank you.

Even after rushing here, it seems I couldn't be of any help." "Don't say that.

It's also my responsibility to look after Grandpa Newton." Alyssa smiled tenderly.

She put her arm over his broad shoulders and gently squeezed.

"T'll go see Grandpa." Jasper was just about to walk away when Alyssa held him back.

"It took him a while to fall asleep.

Don't disturb him.

He's getting old.

Having to attend Lauren's wedding took a toll on him.

He's physically and mentally exhausted, so just let him rest." "Okay," Jasper sighed, feeling remorseful.

"Hey, Jasper." Alyssa paused.

She had a serious look on her face.

" Let's talk in the car." The couple got into the backseat of Alyssa's Rolls-Royce while Sean took the driver's seat.

They convened.

"When I went to the hospital with Grandpa Newton today, I saw Jameson.

He's hospitalized there,'"' Alyssa shared.

Jasper's eyes widened.

He held her hand tightly, his palm warm and clammy, expressing his silent concern.

"Don't worry.

I just paid him a courtesy visit.
