Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 1908

A gunshot echoed in the pool area. However, it was Preston who fell lifelessly onto the ground after being shot.

The special forces flooded the pool area, firing two shots from their laser guns at the bulletproof glass. The tank instantly shattered into pieces as water gushed out.

…

Two members of the police sacrificed their lives in the rescue operation.

It turned out that Preston had been colluding with underground forces to smuggle military artillery using his power as the executive director of Harper Group. Since he possessed heavy artillery, it made the rescue operation more challenging.

Thankfully, the micro camera that Landon carried with him recorded the gory and ruthless battle. Thanks to him, Cyrus managed to equip his men with advanced weapons to break the tank and save the hostage.

However, Lauren was on the brink of death when she was sent to the ICU. Her pulse was weak, and she was in critical condition after drowning and suffering organ injuries from the beatings.

Nearly everyone from the Taylor and Beckett families showed up at the hospital, crowding the corridor outside the ER.

Newton, deep in grief, wept at the hospital. He would have collapsed if not for Javier's and Ben's support.

Mandy, Lyla, Silas, Tatiana, and Sean were present too. Only Colene, who had been keeping Winston company abroad all year, was absent. Mandy sobbed uncontrollably as though it was her daughter who got shot.

…

Landon should have been recuperating at the hospital due to the severe injuries he had sustained. However, instead of doing so, he went to the police station with Cyrus to cooperate with the investigation and to identify the bodies.

Lauren's abduction and Cornelius' and Angelina's deaths rocked the Harper Group. He did not have the luxury to take a breather because the company would fall apart for real.

Alyssa and Jasper did not go to the hospital. Instead, they waited at the police station the entire day without eating or drinking.
