Can’t Win Me Back

The sky was gray as freezing rain fell in the midst of the wind and snow, making Alyssa's heart feel even heavier.

An hour later, Newton's car came to a stop at a cemetery in the western suburbs.

The car door opened, and Ben, holding an umbrella, helped the faltering Newton out. Newton chose not to use his wheelchair and instead walked slowly into the cemetery.

"Miss Alyssa, this cemetery isn't considered expensive. It's where commoners are buried. Given Mr. Beckett Senior's family background, could he possibly have friends among ordinary people?" Sean asked, watching Newton with a perplexed expression. "Who could Mr. Beckett Senior be visiting in this terrible weather? He's not even using his wheelchair. It's making me really curious.

Alyssa stared out the window with a gloomy gaze. After some hesitation, she opened the door, got out, and quietly followed behind them, careful not to be noticed.

After a while, she saw Newton and Ben stop in front of a gravestone. They bowed deeply and placed a bouquet of white daisies they had prepared.

Due to the distance, Alyssa couldn't make out the name or picture on the gravestone.

People typically visited the cemetery at dawn or in the morning. Yet Newton chose to drop by in the afternoon, which was somewhat unusual.

"Mr. Newton, it's so cold out here. Your lungs can't handle this weather. Let's leave," Ben said with concem, taking off his coat and draping it over Newton.

Newton coughed. "I'm fine."
