The hot soup soaked through Jasper's clothes, and the scalding heat mirrored the intense temperature of his body at that moment.

Yet, his focus wasn't on the discomfort.

He leaned forward and grabbed Alyssa by the wrists, pulling her hands toward him with firm insistence.

"Let me have a look.

Do your hands still hurt?" "Let go of me!" Alyssa struggled as tears filled her eyes.

"Stop struggling.

You haven't recovered from your injuries!" Jasper's breaths became heavier as he tightened his grasp over her wrists.

He saw her tears glistening in her eyes as she waved her bandaged hands at him, her face a mixture of misery and comic helplessness.

Yet, there was an undeniable adorableness about her that sparked a deep, protective instinct in him.

Memories of the past flashed in Jasper's mind.

As his gaze remained fixed on Alyssa, something dark stirred within him, a coldness he had held for so long rising to the surface.

Then, without warning, his mind blanked.

He pressed his chapped lips against hers, feeling her soft, trembling mouth against his.

Their noses brushed together, and he could sense the gentle dampness of her skin.

He bit her tongue in his eagerness.
