Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa wasted no time, hurrying to the hospital with Sean by her side.

As they drove, Sean noticed Alyssa's distressed look and felt a pang of deep concern.

Ms. Alyssa, you should really get some rest first.

You're still weak, and pushing yourself like this isn't good for you!" Since returning, Sean had dropped the formal address, speaking more casually when he was anxious.

"I'm fine.

I'm just worried about Grandpa Newton..." Alyssa closed her tear-filled eyes.

Her heart was aching with sorrow.

Newton's illness was a consequence of his heartache over his grandson Jasper, who lay unconscious from his injuries, and Alyssa, who had been like a granddaughter to Newton, was the one responsible for the situation.

When Alyssa arrived at the hospital, her suit was drenched in a cold sweat, and her legs felt like they were walking on clouds.

Ben was already waiting outside the door to the hospital ward.

"I'm sorry for being late, Mr.

Gorham," Alyssa choked as tears welled up in her eyes.

"All's good as long as you're able to come.
