"Lauren!" Landon's eyes lit up in excitement. He eagerly rushed toward Lauren and gave her a tight hug. His voice trembled fearfully. "I'm sorry for showing up late. It was my fault that you suffered injuries. I am fucking useless! Hit me if you like. Hit me as hard as possible!"
Landon's men were taken aback by his behavior. No longer behaving like a devil, Landon was just a hopeless man in love. They marveled at Lauren, who had charmed Landon into his subservient ways.
"Landon, why would you speak to Cyrus in that way? Why?" Lauren, being autistic, had a tendency to fixate on things. Her stubbornness might be distressing for some.
She insisted, "Why would you say that about Cyrus? I would've died if not for him! He saved me. So, how could you be so mean to him?"
Her endless whys and hows would have triggered anyone. However, Landon only hugged her tight and whispered tearfully into her ear, "Lauren, you must have been so scared and shocked. I was a loser for not protecting you…"
"It's not Cyrus' fault. He saved me. Please don't say that about him ever. Alright?" Lauren refused to move on without receiving a firm response to the previous matter.
Watching the scene, Angelina felt sorry for Landon. The effort they poured into Lauren's recovery had gone down the drain due to the hostage incident.
Landon dared not provoke the adamant Lauren any further. Swallowing the pain, he begged her in a hoarse voice, "Darling, promise me you won't look at any other man. You should only have eyes for me.
"Lauren, I'm your one and only man."

Cyrus hurried to the police station after leaving the hospital. He wrapped up the paperwork for the hostage case. After that, he sent a subordinate to retrieve records of the police reports made by Denver and Joanna, the background information of the five campus bullies, and all records of the relevant witness statements.
There wasn't a lot of information available, but Cyrus felt ruffled for a long time after reading through the contents.
At that time, he received a call from Alyssa. Calming down, he answered, "Lyse."
"Cyrus, how are you doing? You're fine, right?" Alyssa questioned worriedly. "We saw the news about the hostage situation at Solana City Arts Academy. We saw that you were dispatched to the scene. Mandy saw it, too. You didn't pick up her calls, so she sent Jasper and me to check on you because we were in town."
"The murderer was arrested at the scene. I'm doing just fine," Cyrus assured her.
"I don't believe you. Come out and show us," Alyssa stubbornly insisted. "We're at the entrance to the police station, and we want to see you walking out with our own eyes. How else are we going to answer to Mandy?"

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🙄...
