Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2205

With a soft click, Remy opened a hidden compartment in the necklace. In it was a black-colored pill.

He took it out, put it in his mouth, and swallowed it.

Alyssa's voice in his head gradually faded away.

For over a year, he hadn't needed any medication to ease his headaches. He thought he'd never have to take it again.

…

Meanwhile, Jameson clutched a medical report in his study room. His handsome face was ashen, his sharp eyes bloodshot.

"Mr. Schmidt, your current health isn't looking good," his private physician hesitated, standing by his side. "The medical facilities on this island are limited. They might not be enough if your condition suddenly worsens. I suggest you go to a proper hospital soon, within this month. Treatment there might help ease your condition."

Jameson's pale, chapped lips uttered, "Can vigorous treatment cure me?"

The doctor looked down, hesitating.

"My disease is incurable, and I don't have long to live, do I?" Jameson forced a smile. A mix of emptiness and the fear of death formed an invisible net around him, trapping him in despair.

"Don't be so pessimistic. If you were to be subject to vigorous treatment—"

"Just tell me—how much longer do I have?"

The doctor choked, "At most… half a year."

Jameson closed his eyes and guffawed.

As Jameson cried, laughter bubbled up from within him, twisting his anguished face.

The Jameson of the past had already drained himself in trying to live as a good person. Why was he still thinking of that now?

Alyssa had always had everything. Loving parents and siblings, loyal friends who stood by her.

But what about Jameson?

She could never be him. She could never understand him.

But before Jameson could sink deeper into his sorrow, a voice cried out urgently from the other side of the door, "Mr. Schmidt, I-I have bad news! Ms. Alyssa started up the helicopter. She's escaping from the island!"
