Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa wasn't yet fully recovered.

She was still limping when she walked.

Despite that, she wouldn't allow herself to lie in bed like a useless person.

Even though she was still in crutches and her left leg was still ina cast after resting for a week, she insisted on getting discharged from the hospital.

She didn't inform Winston and his wives on the day of her discharge.

Still, seeing Jonah, Silas, Rose, and Sean show up to take her home warmed her heart.

"Lyse, are you and Jasper really..." Rose clung onto Alyssa's arm, which had grown noticeably thinner.

She welled up with tears.

"Yeah.

It's over," Alyssa said with a soft smile, sounding almost relieved.

"We were once deeply in love, and that was enough.
