Can’t Win Me Back

After speaking with Alyssa for some time, both Jonah and Sean noticed her fatigued state.

Realizing she was still weak and needed rest, they quietly withdrew from her hospital room, one after the other.

"Why does Ms. Alyssa have to endure so much misfortune since meeting Jasper?" Sean only dared to express his heartache after steering clear of Alyssa.

"The frostbite on Ms. Alyssa's hands is really severe.

I'm worried it will affect her future.

"She is one of the top surgeons in the country and an excellent sculptor.

If her hands are ruined..." Jonah's eyes reddened, his fists clenching in silent agony.

"She'll be fine.

We'll find the right treatment and ensure that even the scars heal completely," he said with quiet conviction.

"Mr. Jonah, please pardon me for saying this." Sean wiped his face, looking worn from a sleepless night.
