Semua Bab Can't Win Me Back: Bab 531 - Bab 540

"Tell me the truth, Lyse. Did you catch feelings for him again after that incident?" Mandy asked with concern."Not at all," Alyssa replied firmly. "I'm not going to dig my own grave. I just want to pay him back for what he has done for me." Her heart panicked for a moment, but she soon gathered herself."Good to hear. "Just know that if you ever consider getting back with him, you're out of our lives. It's your family or that jerk," Mandy warned and cast a frosty glance at Alyssa.Alyssa rubbed against the goosebumps on her arm. Her skin prickled at Mandy's threat."Lyse! Mandy!" Colette's voice interrupted as she knocked on the door and entered. She exclaimed, "The dresses for Lyla's birthday party have arrived, and I need your input! I mean, I'm a woman who got married in jeans—I know nothing about women's fashion.""Alright! we'll be right there!" Alyssa replied. Eager to avoid more questioning from Mandy, she grabbed Mandy's arm and headed to see Lyla's dresses.…The thr

Finally, Mandy handed Alyssa the two medications, one for internal injuries and the other for external wounds, both developed by Lovelace Pharmaceuticals.The next day, Alyssa tasked Sean to deliver the drugs to Jasper. Weirdly, Jasper had his pride in front of his romantic rival and refused to show his weak side. When he noticed that Sean arrived alone, his disappointment swelled as he had hoped to see Alyssa. In an instant, his high spirits crumbled. "Where is she?"He leaned his stocky body against the headboard. He looked pitiful, with a hint of loneliness etched between his brows.None of it mattered when Alyssa wasn't there for his pity party."Ms. Alyssa is busy. She wanted me to deliver these to you," Sean answered. Placing the package of rare medications by the headboard, he cast a chilly glance at Jasper's pale face. "She mentioned that the external injury medication should be applied thrice a day, while the one for internal injury should be applied once a day."

All of a sudden, Landon recalled that he was in a hospital and did not end up lighting the cigarette. After a pause, Jasper inhaled deeply and said in a hushed voice, "Landon, I think … I might have fallen for Alyssa."What the heck? The cigarette between Landon's lips trembled. He came very close to leaping out of his seat in shock.Everyone could see that Jasper was smitten with Alyssa, except for Jasper himself. Yet, hearing him admit it was both refreshing and cathartic."I am in love with her. That's why I want her back by my side. I'd like to try pursuing her," Jasper confessed in a shaky voice and raised his head. He had a deep and sincere look in his eyes."You, going after the opposite sex? Are you sure you can do that?" Landon pressed on with an astonished look."There is a first time for everything. I'll have to give it a shot," Jasper replied. He cast a judgmental glance at Landon. "Even if my attempt fails, I still have you as my advisor, albeit an ineffective one."

"I love you, Alyssa Taylor. I've fallen for you."Alyssa held her breath and stumbled backward without knowing it. Only she would understand the mixed feelings from hearing Jasper's love confession.They could hear each other's heart beating in the silence."I would have accepted your confession right away if it happened in the three years we were married. But it's too late now. I told you before that my feelings for you had expired. I no longer love you," Alyssa responded with a stoic look in her eyes."I'm sorry. I know my confession comes too late, but I'm not one to give up when I set my mind to something," Jasper argued, his forehead dotted with sweat. He wanted to go up to her but feared that he might scare her off. "It's fine if you don't love me. I'll be the one who sacrifices for you this time around. I'll—"He wanted to say, "I'll love you". He never told Liana he loved her, but he had an urge to use the word on Alyssa."Enough. I do not need the love from a man I'm n

Jasper also clutched his sleeve and struggled with the weight of guilt and pain.Alyssa had been wrong about him. He wanted to tell her that his feelings were not fleeting. Was his love worthless just because he discovered it late?13 years ago, he had gone through a life-and-death experience with her. Years later, they went through the same thing. They seemed fated to be with each other.For the first time, he felt the pain of not being able to express himself. It was a suffocating feeling. Still, he remained silent because it was not the time to make lofty declarations. He needed to show his love through actions.Although Alyssa's fever had subsided, she still felt a little weak, especially after the trouble she was put through in the past three days. She fell asleep as soon as her head hit the pillow without even keeping guard against Jasper.Meanwhile, Jasper fixed his eyes on her, like a guardian, without any hint of sleepiness.When he confirmed that she was asleep, he ro
