Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1562

Alyssa exclaimed, "He even went through a critical stage. How could I not panic?"

Alyssa broke out in a cold sweat that made her back damp. She felt numb. "Why didn't you call me at that time? Dad went through something like that… I'm his daughter. How could I not be by his side?"

Jasper saw that her eyes had filled with tears. He felt as if his heart was being crushed. Immediately, he took her shaking hand and gave it a tight squeeze.

Under usual circumstances, she would playfully tease Winston, occasionally displaying indifference towards him. But in times like these, her genuine anxiety for her father was clear. Jasper fully understood where she was coming from.

Jonah looked into Alyssa's eyes. He sighed helplessly. "It was Dad who made us keep it from you."

Alyssa felt a sharp pain in her heart. "Dad…"

"When Dad was having the stroke, he instructed Mr. Benton not to inform us, especially you."

Jonah tried his best to speak in a neutral tone. "Dad knows that you've been busy and tired. He didn't want you to go through trouble after trouble. It would only make you feel disconcerted."

A father's love was as steadfast as a mountain—solitary, formidable, and covert.

He didn't want his children to worry for him. So, it didn't matter if the suffering was too much. He was determined to grit his teeth and endure the pain.

A ball of fury rose within Alyssa. Her voice became hoarse. "Mrs. Rosie, please pack my things. I will make my way to Belbanks now."

"Got it, madam," Rosie answered immediately.

Jasper put his arm around Alyssa's shoulder. He frowned and said, "Mrs. Rosie, pack some of my clothes too. I'll be going with Lyse."

Alyssa met his concerned gaze. With tears in her eyes, she said, "I'm sorry. I'm afraid we won't be able to go to Swizo for our vacation."

"That's alright. Winston's health is more important. We can always go another time." Jasper cupped her face.

"Also…"

Jonah paused. His eyes turned dim. "Jameson is back."

All of a sudden, the atmosphere in the room became tense. The sound of his name was equivalent to hearing words like "jinx" or "the plague".
