Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2236

Alyssa wasted no time, hurrying to the hospital with Sean by her side.

As they drove, Sean noticed Alyssa's distressed look and felt a pang of deep concern. "Ms. Alyssa, you should really get some rest first. You're still weak, and pushing yourself like this isn't good for you!"

Since returning, Sean had dropped the formal address, speaking more casually when he was anxious.

"I'm fine. I'm just worried about Grandpa Newton…" Alyssa closed her tear-filled eyes. Her heart was aching with sorrow.

Newton's illness was a consequence of his heartache over his grandson Jasper, who lay unconscious from his injuries, and Alyssa, who had been like a granddaughter to Newton, was the one responsible for the situation.

…

When Alyssa arrived at the hospital, her suit was drenched in a cold sweat, and her legs felt like they were walking on clouds.

Ben was already waiting outside the door to the hospital ward.

"I'm sorry for being late, Mr. Gorham," Alyssa choked as tears welled up in her eyes.

"All's good as long as you're able to come. This way."

Ben made way for Alyssa. However, despite usually being fearless and straightforward, she was now standing outside the door in hesitation. She didn't have the guts to enter. She was too ashamed to do so too.

"Out of everyone in the younger generation, other than Mr. Jasper, you are the one whom Mr. Newton loves the most."

Ben could tell what was going through Alyssa's mind. He warmly said, "Go ahead, Ms. Alyssa. Mr. Newton has been waiting for you."

When Alyssa stepped into the hospital ward, she saw Newton propped weakly against the headboard of his bed under the warm sunlight. He was half-asleep.

"Grandpa Newton…" Alyssa murmured, approaching his bedside with a heavy heart.
