In the dingy old neighborhood, several police cars and an ambulance converged. The local residents looked on cautiously, having heard that there had been a break-and-entering.
Worried, Cyrus had his men send the killer back to the station before going to the hospital in the ambulance with Xavier and Maggie. Cyrus also notified Alyssa and Jasper of what happened.
The medics had strapped an oxygen mask on Maggie's face. Her body had passed out from shock after being asphyxiated. Now that the blood had stopped rushing to her face, her skin appeared stark white.
"You… You have to be okay, Maggie," Xavier said worriedly. He could care less about how injured he was right now. He kept on checking up on Maggie's condition, holding onto her hand.
"Her vitals have stabilized, so there's no need to worry anymore," Cyrus consoled him. He could tell that Xavier's concern for Maggie extended beyond her role as a key witness in the case against David Schmidt.
"Why… Why were you guys on the scene so suddenly?" Xavier asked curiously after calming himself down.
"Lyse had me come over to check up on Maggie and her mother as well as talk some sense into her about letting Maggie be a witness. Maggie is still underage, after all, and this is an important matter. It's only right to inform Maggie's mother about it. Lyse also thought Maggie's mother might find the police more trustworthy."
Cyrus couldn't imagine what would've happened if he had come a second later. His expression was cold and stern. "Who knew this would happen? Looks like someone has grown impatient."
Xavier was stunned.
Jasper had sent him, whereas Alyssa had sent Cyrus. Though neither Jasper nor Alyssa had discussed this, their thoughts and intentions were still aligned!
Xavier had heard about couples looking similar before but not about thinking similarly!

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
