Can’t Win Me Back

Mandy remained by Remy's side in the hospital ward, never once leaving him as he lay unconscious.

At this moment, like countless other Cyrrisians, she was also watching the shocking turn of events at Beckett Group's press conference unfold through her phone.

She saw Julien's unexpected appearance and how he presented his evidence, turning the tide just as Jasper was engulfed by public criticism.

Though pride and relief filled her heart, a deep concern lingered.

Julien and Jonah had not spoken of it, but everyone in the family could tell they had broken up. Julien had left for Mosgravia without a word of farewell, only calling her once in haste to say he was fine.

Jonah, on the other hand, rarely returned home, and when he did, he looked drained, his once-bright eyes now clouded with gloom that refused to lift.

Mandy's heart ached for them both, yet she had no idea what had driven them apart.

Now that Julien had returned to support Jasper, there was a chance he would cross paths with Jonah. From the depths of her heart, Mandy hoped this would be the opportunity they needed to reconcile.

Just then, a knock at the door pulled her from her thoughts.
