Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2128

Carl was petrified. He immediately placed a call to cancel the meeting before helping Jameson back to his office and onto his couch.

Jameson gasped for breath, his chest rising and falling rapidly. The pain felt like his insides were burning. His hands trembled as he pressed them to his burning forehead. His vision swam in and out of darkness.

"Here, drink some water, Mr. Schmidt!" Carl knelt beside him, his eyes red with worry. He held the glass to Jameson's lips, which were stained with blood.

"I've called your private doctor. He's on his way as fast as he can. Just hang in there..."

Jameson raised a hand and slapped the glass away. In a gruff voice, he rasped, "All these years... Nicholas has done a lot of dirty work for me. He has always been meticulous, handling everything cleanly. How could he leave evidence, let alone a video?"

"Anyone who plays with fire gets burned eventually," Carl said through gritted teeth. "Even Chief Novak, with all his skills, isn't infallible. Since he's in police custody, we can't let him live. I'll get rid of him, no matter what it takes. I won't let this implicate you!"

"That's easier said than done," Jameson coughed. "Nicholas is a police commissioner, not some nobody. Even if he's a criminal, he'll be in a special cell with heavy surveillance. Our people won't be able to get to him."

Carl's face contorted in worry. He paced like a caged animal.

Jameson's private doctor arrived soon after and performed a basic checkup.

"How's Mr. Schmidt doing?" Carl asked. His eyes were filled with worry.

"Has Mr. Schmidt been taking various medications all these years? And I don't mean just any medication, but strong ones?" the doctor asked hesitantly.

A pit formed in Carl's stomach. "Well, yes, some... But how is he really?"
