Even considering Justin's health, Newton's actions seemed extreme. When he heard that Justin's condition had improved, there was no sign of relief on Newton's face. Instead, he looked anxious and fearful.
What was Newton afraid of?
Was he worried that Justin's return would jeopardize Jasper's place as the heir?
Newton still controlled a third of Beckett Group's shares and held key businesses. Jasper also owned shares and was the acting president. Even if Javier favored Justin, it wouldn't be easy for Justin to take over the company, would it?
As someone seasoned and used to upheavals, what was Newton afraid of?
…
Justin remained in his wheelchair as he left the hospital. Sheryl and his bodyguard helped him into his luxury Bentley. Just as the car began to move, Alyssa suddenly rushed out and grabbed the window as it rolled up.
Justin's bodyguard hit the brakes immediately. Sheryl, startled, glared at Alyssa's cold expression. "Ms. Alyssa, why would you throw yourself at someone's car like that? Are you trying to get yourself killed?"
Justin raised his hand, signaling Sheryl to stay silent. He smiled warmly at Alyssa. "Is there something you wanted to talk about, Ms. Alyssa?"
Alyssa ran her tongue over her teeth. "I do."
Sheryl and the bodyguard stepped out while Justin invited Alyssa into the car.
Inside was a faint scent of medicine mixed with a light fragrance. Alyssa frowned. The scent stirred something uncomfortable inside her; it was a somewhat familiar scent. However, the smell vanished almost as soon as it reached her, leaving her no time to place where she'd encountered it before.
"I've heard about RC from Jameson more than once. RC's base is in Mosgravia, so I believe this drug came from them.
"Justin, you saved Jasper's life during the kidnapping, and now you've returned for him. I can see that you and Jasper share a deep bond. You want him to wake up, don't you?"
Staring at Alyssa's exquisite-looking face, Justin's voice turned hoarse without him even realizing it. "Even though we're only half brothers, Jasper and I grew up together. Of course I'd hope for him to be well. It's not just for his sake, but yours too."
There was a hint of affection in his voice that sent a chill down Alyssa's spine. She instinctively avoided his foggy gaze.
"If Jasper never regains consciousness, will his pampered rose wither away?" Justin asked.
"I'm not a rose, so I will never wither."

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
I am trying to figure out why an author writes one page and it is suppose to be a chapter and then the author gets the audience hooked on the story and just drags it on. Follow the rules please, and at least give the 7 chapters daily. Two chapters every other day is a waste of time. Or just release the book and give us the option to buy it....
Ughhh…can we get more pleeeease! I’m so into this book and literally check daily for updates but it’s only two pages at most. Can you at least do 4 pages a night 🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽🙏🏽...
More chapters please the 7 chapters/day would be nice, TY...
Where can i download the remaining chapters?...
