Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2103

Sean pushed thoughts of Tatiana aside temporarily, refocusing on work.

"Since our trip to Bernardia until now, Chief Novak hadn't gone home at all. He has been at the station the whole time. Even if he had things to buy, he'd get his subordinates to go out and buy them for him. He seems to be almost cutting himself off from the world."

The look in Alyssa's eyes deepened. "Didn't he visit his wife?"

"No, he didn't. Not even once."

Sean frowned in disbelief. "The more I think about it, the stranger it feels."

Alyssa spun her pen nimbly, her eyes dark. "It's not strange. Chief Novak is an exceptionally alert man. I'm sure he has realized the danger he's in. Acting rashly could be fatal."

Sean was dumbfounded. "Ms. Alyssa, do you mean—"

"I wouldn't be surprised if Jamiper is prepared to take him down," Alyssa interrupted, her grip tightening on the pen until her knuckles whitened. "There's also a chance Chief Novak dodged an attempt already, prompting his extra precautions and staying shut in.

"The police station is the safest place for him. No matter how vicious Jameson is, he wouldn't dare send people to strike him there. It would be like walking right into a trap."

Sean's heart sank. "That means Jameson is trying to silence him for good! We can't let anything happen to Chief Novak, Ms. Alyssa. He's our only hope of taking Jameson down!"

"But if he keeps hiding like that, Jamiper can't get to him, and we won't achieve a breakthrough through either."

She formed her fingers into a triangle under her chin, her gaze dull. "We need to get Chief Novak out of the station."

Sean scratched his head in confusion. "But Ms. Alyssa, won't we be creating an opportunity for Jamiper by doing that?"

"He and I have the same starting point. He may see an opportunity, but so will I." The look in Alyssa's eyes turned from cold to fiery. She smiled warmly, "Moreover, I trust Jasper. No matter how tiny a chance, he will grab onto it firmly."

…

Sean got the car ready to drive Alyssa to Solana City as quickly as possible.

They picked Newton and Ben up from Crescent Bay and headed for the hospital.

At the hospital's VIP clinic, Newton leaned against the headboard while hooked up to an IV drip. His face was pale. Alyssa sat by the side of the bed and helped to give him some water to drink.

"Alyssa… I'm really sorry for the trouble. I know you rushed back from Belbanks just to take me to the hospital," Newton said, his eyes moist with emotion.

"It's no trouble at all, Grandpa Newton. I was planning to come and visit you anyway."

Alyssa's eyes glistened as she comforted him. "I've spoken with the doctor. You haven't been resting well and you're still jet lagged. You also haven't been eating well, so you're having a bit of an upset stomach. It's not a big issue. Don't worry."
