Can’t Win Me Back

"Wake up and comfort me again," Alyssa thought, her mind pleading.

Please.

As she was sobbing, the door to the hospital ward was pushed open slowly.

Landon walked in carrying a bowl of soup.

When he saw the scene before his eyes, he froze on the spot and fell into a daze.

His hands started trembling uncontrollably while he carried the bowl of soup.

As a tall and strong man, his heart had long been filled with Lauren's love.

A scene like this moved him, and he felt a sudden urge to cry.

He waited until Alyssa's sobs died down.

Then, he calmed himself down and walked to her side slowly.

"Lyse, have something to eat.

I brought some fish chowder.

I remember that you like this, so I made some for you myself." Alyssa was silent for a long time.

Landon peered to the side and noticed that her breakfast was still on the bedside table, untouched.

He couldn't explain the heaviness and misery he felt in his heart.
