Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1463

Yawning, Cyrus added without thinking, "We received three cases of sexual assault involving males this year. I do not want a fourth case. The Lovelaces are going to be devastated if Julien becomes a victim."

Not all the guests had left. When Mrs. Rosie cleaned the venue, she found Axel passed out drunk on the balcony.

Although there was a deck underneath the balcony, Axel could have fallen off it if he flipped and turned. The fall from two floors might not have cost him his life, but it was enough to severely injure him.

"Good heavens! You crazy child! You've gone mad!" Mrs. Rosie hurried into the kitchen to inform Alyssa and Jasper, who were busy making tea.

"Madam, your brother Axel is sleeping on the balcony! I dare not wake him up. I can't take the responsibility if he falls off the balcony from the shock."

Jasper's eyes were filled with worry. Alyssa continued making her tea, unfazed. She drawled, "Don't worry about it. He'll never fall off the balcony. He's been like this since he was a kid, sleeping on high and steep surfaces. Rooftops, hills, trees—you name it. I bet he was a monkey in his previous life."

Jasper was dumbstruck by the Taylors' carefree and daredevil attitude. Were the Taylors unconcerned because they had too many children to spare?

Finally, Alyssa and Jasper caved into Mrs. Rosie's nagging and went to the balcony for Axel.

"Shall I bring him down from the edge?" Jasper whispered in her ear.

"Don't waste your energy. Your arms are only for carrying me. Why would you lift a grown man like him? Just put a blanket on him."
