Can’t Win Me Back by Ginger Sue

As soon as Alyssa's health allowed for her discharge, she left the hospital swiftly without informing her family. Sean had just assisted her into the car when her phone rang.

The call was from Rosie.

"Mrs. Rosie, how have you been?" Alyssa couldn't hold the phone herself, her hands still bandaged, so Sean held it for her. "I'm doing well. Madam, I heard from Mr. Jasper that you were injured?" Rosie's voice was concerned.

"I have been discharged from the hospital. Don't worry." Alyssa couldn't help but recall the soup she had splattered across Jasper's three-piece suit the other day. To her surprise, she discovered that he had prepared for such an outcome.

It was as though he had predicted she might throw the soup. He had left one more serving of soup in the thermal flask just in case. Feeling hungry after their heated argument, Alyssa managed to sit up in bed with effort. After he left, she finished the last remnants of soup from the thermal flask.

"Mrs. Rosie, did you ask Mr. Jasper to deliver soup towhile I was hospitalized?" Alyssa smiled. "The soup was delicious. I could tell that you made it. Thank you." "It wasn't me, Madam. I wasn't the one who made the soup. Mr. Jasper made it for you personally!" "He did?" Alyssa was stupefied.

"Mr. Jasper went to the countryside the day before to buy a wild chicken. He cback covered in mud, his suit covered in feathers, and smelling like chicken poop! Can you believe a neatly dressed gentleman like him did that?" Rosie couldn't help but giggle as she recalled the scene. "I've seen him grow up, but I've never seen him like this before. He even went out to catch the chicken himself. If the public got wind of it, he'd becthe biggest joke of the century!" Alyssa couldn't believe her ears. Her heart pounded against her chest uncontrollably.

"There was even more chaos the next day. The first thing he did in the morning was to slaughter the chicken. Thanks to him, the kitchen looked like it was a crscene. I'm not even kidding!" Rosie went on, "Mr. Jasper used to be in the military and has killed terrorists while he was on the battlefield, right? According to him, slaughtering chickens is way more difficult than killing a human being!" At that moment, Jasper sneezed violently in the president's office at Beckett Group.

Sean, who was nearby Alyssa, overheard what Rosie said. He was rendered speechless. Alyssa, on the other hand, let out a laugh. She did not know how she should react.

"I was the one who guided Mr. Jasper as he prepared the chicken soup for you, so it's only natural that it tasted similar to mine. Still, it was all his effort. He spent the whole day making it! Madam, don't you know what Mr. Jasper is like? He may struggle with words, but he knows who matters to him. You've always been in his heart." Alyssa felt a wave of emotions-bitterness mixed with a strange warmth. It was like finding a piece of candy in a pile of sand. After ending that call with Rosie, Alyssa stared blankly into space as she sat in the car. She couldn't pull herself out of those complex emotions that she was feeling.

Sean glanced at her through the rearview mirror from his driver's seat. He noticed the tears in Alyssa's eyes.

"Ms. Alyssa, I'll send you back to Heightsnew Villa," he offered in a warm voice.

"No, I don't want to go home," Alyssa responded softly.

Concern crept into Sean's voice. "You're not thinking of going to KS Group, are you? You need to rest." "Let's make a trip to Fifth Prison." e Once Jasper's influence on her thoughts subsided, Alyssa gathered herself. The sadness that had weighed on her face na replaced by a fiery intensity in her gaze. Content belongs to en.kikistoriesChapter 2364 2 UMS Sean cto a realization. Then, he asked, "Ms. Alyssa, what if there isn't anything more to that prisoner, but that he's just a normal prisoner? Would you still help him out?" "I will." Alyssa curled her lips upward into a bright smile. "I'll just take it as doing a good deed." It was a weekday today, so traffic wasn't particularly heavy. Sean and Alyssa arrived at the entrance to Fifth Prison soon enough. Chapter 2364 3 "No, it's alright. I'll go with you." Alyssa opened her eyes; she looked a little weary. She had just moved from her seat when she caught sight of a black car heading toward the prison from a short distance away.

Her Spirit of Ecstasy Rolls-Royce was too showy, so Alyssa intentionally decided to swap it out for a regular, low-profile car before coming over.

She watched as the black car stopped outside the gate to the prison. Through her car's front windshield, Alyssa could see a rather familiar-looking outline of a woman, albeit vaguely.

With a firm look in her eyes, Alyssa lifted her hand suddenly and pressed down on Sean's shoulder from behind. "Wait." Sean was taken aback. He didn't dare to make any rash moves.

Right at this moment, the door of the black vehicle was opened. Sheryl, wearing a white lab coat, stepped out of the car with a frown etched on her face.

Dressed lightly for the weather, she stomped her feet to shake off the cold, crossing her arms in front of her chest in a poised manner as she shivered slightly.

Sean exclaimed in shock, "Ms. Alyssa, that's Justin's doctor!" "I see her too." With a steady look in her eyes, Alyssa stared fixedly at Sheryl as she hurried through the prison gates under a prison officer's guide.

Even though Sheryl assumed no one had noticed, she had exposed her unnatural mannerisms; it was as clear as day.

Alyssa was overwhelmed with the sfeeling of familiarity as before.

Sean frowned. "That's strange. What's that woman doing here?" "She's like..." "Ms. Alyssa, what did you say?" A sharp gleam flashed across Alyssa's face. "That woman remindsof someone I knew. Other than her looks, her every move looks extremely similar." Sean pressed on, "Who is it?" "Liana Gardner."
