Instantly, Alyssa's waterworks were turned on. Warm tears of joy streamed down her cheeks. She knew it. She had always known it. From the moment she first saw Remy, she was certain he was Damien. Despite his cold, heartless, and distant demeanor, that familiar sense of kinship had left no doubt in her mind."Madam, what's wrong?" Rosie quickly pulled out a handkerchief and hurried to wipe Alyssa's tears.Alyssa forced herself to stay calm. In a low, steady voice, she asked, "Cyrus, have you told anyone else about this?"Having worked on many cases over the years, Cyrus knew how to maintain his composure."No," he answered. "This is big news. I've only told you. I haven't mentioned it to Dad or Mom.""Good. For now, we need to keep this between us. Don't tell Dad or Mandy."Alyssa's chest tightened, her eyes burning with intensity. "I'm worried we'll tip off the enemy. Worse still, the person controlling Damien might hurt him if his identity is revealed."Cyrus responded with e

Jasper's eyes widened. In a low voice, he asked, "How did you know that?""Dr. Gillis isn't just an exceptional surgeon. When she was in Mosgravia, she also researched mental illnesses and related medications." Justin took a casual sip of tea. "I heard from Dr. Lovelace that you suffered brain damage after taking some unverified medication while you were with Jameson. "Since Dr. Gillis identified your symptoms, she may be able to treat you. Why not let her give it a try? It might bring you some relief from the pain."Jasper remained expressionless and replied calmly, "Thanks, Justin, but I'll pass.""If Dr. Gillis can help, you should go ahead with it." Javier's face brightened upon hearing this. "Dr. Gillis, I officially appoint you as Jasper's private physician! Don't worry about your salary. As long as Jasper recovers, I'll make sure you're well compensated."Jasper furrowed his brow in protest. "Dad, I don't need a private physician. Besides, Justin needs Dr. Gillis' care. Sh

"Consuming or injecting large doses of drugs can damage the brain's amygdala. That's likely why Mr. Beckett ended up like this. Right now, it seems to be the only explanation."Alyssa was utterly shocked. Her voice cracked as she muttered, "Could it be that what Jameson forced Jasper to take was some kind of drug?" Mandy couldn't believe her ears. "Didn't he only take three pills? How could they have caused such serious damage?" "A small dose of a drug can make someone feel euphoric, but large doses can feel worse than death."Joseph lowered his eyes and sighed. "There are many addicts who've died after injecting substances into themselves. If the pills Mr. Beckett took were highly pure drugs, three of them could very well be fatal."Alyssa felt a sharp pain in her chest. Anxiety washed over her, and sweat formed on her forehead. "Will... Will Jasper show any side effects?""I can't say for sure without knowing exactly what he took," Joseph replied. "But addicts who stop using

"Please thank Justin on my behalf." Jasper looked at Sheryl with an emotionless gaze. "I will take the medications. I've got work to do, so you may go ahead and take your leave, Dr. Gillis." "I shall not take up any more of your time, Mr. Jasper. Contact me promptly if you feel unwell in any way." Upon saying that, Sheryl turned and walked to the door. "Xavier, I will attend the charity event on the weekend," Jasper informed in a deep voice. Xavier was overjoyed. "Got it, Mr. Beckett. I will make the necessary arrangements shortly!" Sheryl's eyes briefly lit up before they narrowed. Then, she strutted away. The moment the door was closed, Jasper picked up the pills. With a frosty look on his face, he tossed them into the trash can. "Mr. Beckett, have you come to your senses?" Xavier was so close to bursting into happy tears. He had thought that Jasper had already been blinded by that cunning fox!"It's true that Justin saved me. But that doesn't mean I'd have to accept e

Jasper also spotted Alyssa, who was in Justin's presence. A beautiful and harmonious scene like this had also once appeared in his monochromatic memories. He had once watched her play and laugh. As time passed, another man had already taken his place by her side. He had been the one who had initiated the breakup. He said he didn't want her to waste her time on him. He was also the one who had asked her to choose a good man for herself. Nevertheless, when he saw Justin's interest in Alyssa and how happy they were together, an explicable taste of bitterness rose at the back of his throat. Jasper clenched his fists tightly, the veins on his hands bulging. It felt like a bee had stung him on the tongue, the prickling, numbing sensation spreading through his body. Distracted by his own emotions, he barely noticed when a few snowflakes brushed against his sculpted face."Oh no. Watch out, both of you!" Suddenly, a large clump of snow fell from the branches above Jasper's and S
