Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2060

The corridors along the VIP ward were quiet and deserted. There was no one in sight.

A female nurse came to check on Edgar after doing her rounds. As she left, a figure dressed as a nurse silently slipped into the ward.

The ward was silent; Edgar was sound asleep.

The man quickly took a syringe and plunged it into Edgar's withered arm.

Surprisingly a light sleeper, Edgar bolted awake, his eyes wide with alarm. "W-Who are you?"

It was the first time the man had done something like this. He panicked and stammered, "I-I am a new nurse. I'm here to do my rounds."

"Nonsense! My daughter personally selected a nurse for me. Who the hell are you?"

This man set off alarm bells in Edgar's head. He reached for the call button, but the man reacted swiftly, clamping a hand around his neck.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Edgar. At this point, I have no choice!"

A sinister glint flickered in the man's eyes as he tightened his grip. Edgar's mouth gaped open, his pale complexion turning a sickly purple.

Through gritted teeth, the man hissed, "I've experienced nothing but warmth and appreciation from you during my time serving the Lovelaces, so the least I could do for you is offer you the truth before you go. Mr. Edgar, remember, even your own blood can turn against you, let alone anyone who isn't your own."

A jolt of shock ran through Edgar as he listened. His lips trembled, barely forming a whisper.

"Don't blame me. Blame that son of yours. He's become much too vicious for his own good!"
