Can’t Win Me Back

Alyssa was still unconscious. Despite feeling drained, both physically and emotionally, Winston refused to leave her side until she had regained consciousness.

Nevertheless, his heart was filled with a plethora of gut-wrenching emotions. Afraid of losing control of himself before his family members, he walked to the balcony on his own and silently wiped away his tears while braving the chill winds.

He had been a strong man all his life. It was extremely rare for him to shed a tear. Yet, each time he teared up, it was because of Alyssa and her mother.

"Mr. Taylor." A crisp and pleasant voice sounded from behind him.

Winston quickly composed himself, swallowing back the tears, and turned around to see Justin. His gaze became guarded, distant, but he masked it swiftly.

He nodded at him and said, "Mr. Justin, I know you're not in the best of health. The winds here are cold; it would be better if you went back inside and rested.

"Mr. Taylor, Justin began, his voice sincere, "My younger brother made a rash decision yesterday. He rushed to Skydon City to find a woman who meant a great deal to him. He missed his appointment with Ms. Alyssa because of it, and for that, I want to apologize on his behalf."

Justin's eyes contained a sincerity and an eagerness that he had never shown before. "I have found the best specialist in the country to treat Ms. Alyssa. Whether it's her frostbite or other medical conditions, I will do my best to ensure she is cured."
