Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1267

Alyssa's feet were now adorned with wounds, streaks of blood, and dried-up residue. His heart was on the verge of shattering as he witnessed it.

"Lyse, I want to make you happy, but look at what I've brought you."

Closing his eyes, Jasper drew in a deep, audible breath, struggling to hide the tightness in his hoarse throat.

Suddenly, his phone vibrated. It was a call from Ben.

Jasper rubbed his eyes as he stood up and went to the window to answer it. "Mr. Gorham, how is Grandpa doing?"

"Mr. Newton is doing well. He misses Ms. Alyssa a lot, so he sleeps very late. Mr. Jasper, have you found Ms. Alyssa? Mr. Newton asked about her before he went to bed." Ben sounded worried.

"I've found her. Tell Grandpa not to worry anymore when he wakes up. I will be by her side."

However, he didn't know how long he still had with her.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Jasper…"

Ben felt guilty. He uttered with difficulty, "It's my fault. If I had told you earlier about Ms. Alyssa's miscarriage, things wouldn't have turned out this way."

"This has nothing to do with you. I singlehandedly caused the tragedy today."

Jasper fell silent. He suddenly remembered something.

He recalled that three Christmases ago, he had embarked on a business trip to Mosgravia to oversee a project.

When the car accident happened, it was daytime for him because of the time difference. There was no way he would have missed the phone call.

"Mr. Gorham, I remembered you said Alyssa called previously, but I didn't answer." Jasper became tense.

"Yes, you were the first person Ms. Alyssa called."

Ben sighed. "That incident is in the past. Plus, you are fine now. You shouldn't blame yourself. Your position in the company wasn't stable at that point, so you were often away for work. You were so busy every day that you didn't have time to eat. I'm sure you didn't mean to miss the call."
