Mandy's emotional cry reverberated down the hallway.
Naturally, Remy heard her voice too. He was slightly stunned. His eyes met the teary-eyed, middle-aged woman standing a few feet away from him.
For some reason, his heart felt heavy. Even breathing stirred up some unfathomable feelings within him.
It felt just like that heavy feeling he had when he watched Alyssa, injured all over, crawling out from her car that had flipped over.
"Damien… Is that you? Damien!"
Even though Mandy was always a noble and composed person, her face was covered in tears at this very moment. She choked with sobs and had lost her composure.
"Damien… It's me, your mom! You're still alive… I can't believe that you're still alive!"
Mom?
Dumbfounded, Remy stared at the woman who was approaching him. It was as if someone had put his heart on pause. His slender fingers quivered slightly as he pinched a cigarette in between his fingers.
In the next second, the splitting pain in his head pulled him back to reality.
He stubbed out the cigarette against the balcony before disappearing before vanishing from Mandy's sight in an instant.
"Damien!" Mandy ran forward as quickly as she could.
Ultimately, she lost focus and fell heavily to the ground, scraping her knees. The pain and sadness in that moment left her unable to rise.
At the same time, from the balcony on the other side of the wall, Remy listened to Mandy's devastated cries. He took a deep breath. The muscles throughout his entire body tensed up as he tried to withstand the pain in his head. His eyes became bloodshot.
…
In the hospital ward, Winston and Alyssa had a heart-to-heart talk—something they hadn't done in a while.
"Dad… Don't worry."
Alyssa's hospital gown hung loosely over her small frame. Her face was so pale that it looked like she could melt away at any moment. Even so, she tried her best to force a smile on Winston.
"I'm fine. It's true that I was really sad at first, but now… It's all over."
"It's over between you and Jasper?"
Winston grasped onto Alyssa's chilly hands tightly. With a fiery gaze, he continued, "You are my daughter. Did you think I couldn't tell how you truly feel? I'm just old, not senile or blind!"
Alyssa choked, "Dad…"

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
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?...
Why are we literally only getting one chapter a day?!? I mean can we at least get 4 or something? Irritating🙄...
Hello, more chapters please. It has been over 1 week since we have received 7 chapters. Thank you...
