Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2210

With the royal family's approval, a massive search operation was launched.

In the blink of an eye, another five days passed. The search parties scoured 20 islands of varying sizes, yet Alyssa remained elusive.

Logically, if Jameson had intended to settle on an island, he would have brought ample manpower and supplies. The search shouldn't have been this difficult. But the reality was that the search and rescue mission proved far more challenging than anyone had anticipated.

Adding to the difficulties, the recent weather at Kontina had been terrible. Stormy seas severely hampered the operation.

On the fifth night, Miley brought some dishes into the room. Seeing Jasper's tired and bloodshot eyes, her heart wrenched. She urged, "Jasper, you can't keep exhausting yourself like this. Your body won't hold up! Please, have something to eat, even if it's just a small bite."

"Thank you, Miley. Just leave it here. I'll eat in a bit," Jasper answered in a hoarse voice. Even so, he remained standing at the table, his eyes fixed on a map.

Multiple red crosses marked the locations that had already been searched.

At that moment, Jasper raised his hand again and drew another cross. It felt as if the pain in his heart deepened with each stroke.

"No, you need to eat now." Miley stepped forward and snatched the marker from his hand. Speaking to him as if he were a child, she insisted, "Have some stew, even if it's just a little. I'm not leaving until you eat it!"

Jasper's back stiffened. His calloused hand froze in the air before he finally lowered it, resigned. "Alright then."

His hands trembled slightly when he took the bowl of stew from Miley.

Seeing this, Miley's eyes filled with tears. She could see that he was physically and emotionally drained, teetering on the edge of collapse. If he continued to push himself, he might break at any moment.

"Where are Jonah, Axel, and the others?" Jasper asked in a raspy voice.

"They're all on their way back to the presidential office. Don't worry. Everyone's safe." Miley's eyes had turned red. She continued softly, "Lyse... She'll be fine too."
