Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2294

Jasper's eyes widened. In a low voice, he asked, "How did you know that?"

"Dr. Gillis isn't just an exceptional surgeon. When she was in Mosgravia, she also researched mental illnesses and related medications." Justin took a casual sip of tea. "I heard from Dr. Lovelace that you suffered brain damage after taking some unverified medication while you were with Jameson.

"Since Dr. Gillis identified your symptoms, she may be able to treat you. Why not let her give it a try? It might bring you some relief from the pain."

Jasper remained expressionless and replied calmly, "Thanks, Justin, but I'll pass."

"If Dr. Gillis can help, you should go ahead with it." Javier's face brightened upon hearing this. "Dr. Gillis, I officially appoint you as Jasper's private physician! Don't worry about your salary. As long as Jasper recovers, I'll make sure you're well compensated."

Jasper furrowed his brow in protest. "Dad, I don't need a private physician. Besides, Justin needs Dr. Gillis' care. She shouldn't have to look after two patients at once."

"Jasper, you're my brother. You don't need to feel guilty about it," Justin said with a smile. "I'm already much better under Dr. Gillis' care. If you're uncomfortable with having my people around, at least allow her to be involved in your treatment.

"I'm sure her expertise will help ease your condition. Plus, you're in a critical position now. The future of Beckett Group rests on your shoulders. If something happened to you, Grandpa and Dad would be devastated."

That last statement struck a chord with Jasper.

After a brief silence, he agreed. "Alright then. Thanks for thinking of me, Justin."

Justin gave a gracious smile. "No worries."

Sheryl approached gracefully, a polite smile on her face. She extended her hand toward Jasper, who remained cold and distant. "Mr. Jasper, I look forward to working with you."

Jasper's frown deepened. He made no move to respond.

Sheryl awkwardly left her hand outstretched, her forced smile faltering.

Reluctantly, and only to avoid embarrassing Justin, Jasper extended his hand and shook hers.

…

The midnight stillness of Seaview Manor was broken only by the soft glow of a single table lamp. In the dimly lit room, Justin sat on a couch, his navy blue nightshirt draped loosely over his frame. A pair of elegant silver-framed glasses perched on the bridge of his tall nose, his eyes cast downward.
