Can’t Win Me Back

Even though Alyssa's head was in a muddle, she continued mumbling Julien’s name as she cried and begged him not to leave.

How could there be such a foolish woman? Leaning against Remy's chest, Alyssa groaned in pain.

Her tears soaked through his shirt.

The warm sensation dispersed the endless wintriness in his chest.

"Lyse..."" Remy blurted her nickname in a clear voice.

Yet, Alyssa had lost consciousness and did not hear him.

Remy held tight to an injured Alyssa as he trodded toward his vehicle.

He uttered her name in his heart once again.

For some reason, a pain throbbed in his head.

Intense emotions surged in his chest.

He had never had this feeling before, and it was challenging for him to hold those emotions back.

Remy gritted his teeth as he watched the woman in his arms, who was bruised all over and bleeding from her head.

At the same time, his heart felt like it was about to shatter and end up a bloody mess.

Just like in Kontina, after Remy intercepted Alyssa, he sent her to the nearest hospital for emergency care.
