Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2235

As much as Jameson's deceit was repugnant, it was also his way of trying to keep Alyssa safe. Given Alyssa's fearless and astute nature, she might inadvertently cause a catastrophic disaster—one that would be unbearable for her.

"There's another thing that I can be sure of. The medication that Jasper took isn't fatal. It will not affect his physical health negatively."

Jameson took a deep breath. He chuckled bitterly. "Otherwise, Sir wouldn't have suggested having you take that medication."

"Me?" Alyssa widened her eyes in shock. Her face paled.

"Sir will not harm you. So, the medication he gave you will not be fatal. However, he said that you will be in agonizing pain after you consume it, so…"

The look on Jameson's face darkened gradually. His cuffed hands quivered slightly as if he were trying his best to suppress an intense emotion.

He didn't need to continue explaining. Alyssa understood it all.

"This 'Sir' asked you to have me take that medication. Although he didn't specify what the drug is, at the very least, he would have told you what the effect of the drug is, right?"

"He said that it will make you… belong to me forever," Jameson stuttered in a raspy voice.

"Ah… I get it now."

Alyssa knew that she wouldn't be able to get any more valuable information from Jameson, and she no longer wanted to face him.

So, she got to her feet. "I'm leaving, Jameson. There's no way that I can bring myself to tell you anything that goes against how I really feel. I will not tell you to 'take care' because you know that I absolutely despise you.

"But I do hope that you will continue to stay alive and well in there until the day of your sentencing."

Just as she turned around, Jameson leaped to his feet. With tears in his eyes, he exclaimed, "Lyse, I'm sorry!"

Alyssa froze in her tracks, but she didn't turn around.

"I tried doing everything I could to make you mine because being together with you is the only way for me to feel that the Jimmy from the past hasn't died. It was the only way for me to feel that his heart was still beating and that he was still alive."

Jameson reached his hand out and pretended to stroke her back gently, his tears revealing his deep pain and regret. "Ever since I fell into the deep chasm… you were the most beautiful butterfly that I met."

Nevertheless, the most regretful thing was that once he started falling, he couldn't stop.

Jameson's classic line was laden with the boundless sorrow and desolation he felt after his realization.
