Can’t Win Me Back

"Consuming or injecting large doses of drugs can damage the brain's amygdala.

That's likely why Mr. Beckett ended up like this.

Right now, it seems to be the only explanation." Alyssa was utterly shocked.

Her voice cracked as she muttered, " Could it be that what Jameson forced Jasper to take was some kind of drug?" Mandy couldn't believe her ears.

"Didn't he only take three pills? How could they have caused such serious damage?" "A small dose of a drug can make someone feel euphoric, but large doses can feel worse than death." Joseph lowered his eyes and sighed.

"There are many addicts who've died after injecting substances into themselves.

If the pills Mr. Beckett took were highly pure drugs, three of them could very well be fatal." Alyssa felt a sharp pain in her chest.

Anxiety washed over her, and sweat formed on her forehead.

"Will... Will Jasper show any side effects?" "T can't say for sure without knowing exactly what he took,” Joseph replied.

"But addicts who stop using drugs often experience chills and discomfort throughout their body.

These symptoms gradually worsen if they don't take another dose, which means they've become fully addicted." "Damn it! That bastard!" Alyssa's heart wrenched.

She slammed her fists on the table in frustration.

A tear fell onto the cold, metal surface.

What tormented her even more was that she couldn't approach Jasper right now.

She had no way of knowing if he had already become addicted or was suffering from withdrawal.

She knew nothing about his condition.
