Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2001

Julien blinked. Being observant and having dated Jonah for a while, he immediately noticed his lover spacing out. "You're not attentive. Are you feeling unwell?"

Jonah's heart sank. He denied in a raspy voice, "No. I'm fine."

"Julien, I have a favor to ask of you!" Alyssa quickly distracted Julien, whisking him away to the living room. She said to Jonah, "Jonah, what are you doing? You should throw together some food for Julien!"

"Sure." Jonah left without a word.

Meanwhile, Julien kept turning around to check on Jonah. Something felt amiss, but he couldn't quite put a finger on it.

Back in the living room, Alyssa laid out the pills she brought with her on the coffee table. "Julien, please run some tests on the components of this drug. You're the domain expert, not to mention you have the right equipment for it."

"What's this?" Frowning, he scrutinized the blue pills.

"There were a few consecutive cases of drug addicts dying of heart attack in Solana City, but in the post-mortem, the examiner could not find evidence of the victims taking drugs.

"Not only that, the victims showed symptoms of seizure and mad behavior before their deaths, like they were mentally unstable. Their deaths were horrific.

"From our research, we found out that the victims had taken this type of drug before their deaths. This is a serious matter that involves Colene's family and The Ivory Gang. Julien, please figure out if the drug carries any harmful components as soon as you can."

Julien immediately put on a serious face when he learned that the case involved The Ivory Gang. He promised, "Nathan Waters once helped me, and Colene has always fussed over me. I will definitely see to this matter."

Alyssa teared up. She pressed her lips, thinking, "Julien is really a nice guy. Jonah should never hurt him, or I'll never forgive him!"

Julien replied, "Don't worry about that. I'll get back to you as soon as I can."

Nodding, Alyssa rose from the couch. "Alright then. I won't be thirdwheeling any longer. I'll head home now."

"He ended up losing two front teeth after Jonah beat him into a pulp! Haha! That was cathartic to watch. Jonah is the pride of your nation for sure!"

Alyssa was rendered speechless.

"When we got home, I was scared he might be upset at me. But…" Julien's voice trailed off as a blush crept onto his face.

He could not elaborate further, as it would all be adult content.

"Jonah was accepting of my past self, even when I was at my worst. Who am I to judge him? Lyse, Jonah embraced me. He gave me love, something that I had been searching tirelessly."

His eyes burned with passion. "I won't abandon Jonah, not until my last breath."

On the other side of the wall in the empty corridor, Jonah held the tray of breakfast with trembling hands, having overheard Julien's heartfelt confession.
