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!"

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🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
