The next morning, Jasper jolted awake from his sleep.

For some reason, the shock caused him to break out in cold sweat.

The air felt thin.

He made his way out from under the covers and picked up his phone from the bedside table.

He squinted as he checked his phone.

To his surprise, he had over 20 missed calls from Newton.

Ever since his discharge from the hospital, his head would throb every night.

He wasn't sure if this was a side effect, but he had been having wakeful nights for the past three to four days.

Last night, he felt that he wouldn't be able to take it if he went on like that.

Thus, he took some sleeping pills, which helped him to fall asleep till the day broke.

Jasper got up while massaging his sore temples.

He was just about to ring Newton back when he heard Xavier's voice from the other side of the door.

"Mr. Beckett, are you awake?" "What is it?” "Mr. Beckett Senior is here.

He's asking for you downstairs." After washing up, Jasper changed into a smart-looking black suit and called Julien while he made his way to the living room.

Previously, Julien had given him a dressing down at the hospital, and that interaction ended on a sour note.

But, perhaps it was due to his inability to process emotions that he wasn't bothered by squabbles like these.

All he wanted was for his health to be back at its normal level so he could work as usual.
