That day, after Cyrus and Alyssa reached an agreement, Cyrus returned home to update Winston and Mandy.
Winston had already assumed that Mandy had misidentified Remy, thinking it was just a result of her longing for Damien. He hadn't held out much hope from the start. Mandy, however, was devastated. Her disappointment ran deep, and her emotions were heavily affected.
Initially, she was doubtful, but she eventually had to accept the truth. She spent three or four days in bed, overwhelmed with despair.
It wasn't until Alyssa returned home that Mandy forced herself to sit up. She pressed on, asking once more, "Lyse... are you certain? Are you sure he wasn't Damien?"
Tears brimmed in her eyes as she spoke.
Thanks to her meticulous self-care, Mandy always appeared refined and younger than her years, but she looked noticeably aged after just a few days of sadness.
"Mandy, I understand exactly how you feel," Alyssa said, her voice thick with emotion. She held Mandy's cold hands tightly. "I wish more than anything that Damien was alive too... but that man wasn't him. He just looks a lot like Damien."
Mandy closed her eyes, shaking her head in bitter disappointment.
"Lyse, you might think I'm losing my mind, but ever since Damien's plane crash, I've dreamed about him constantly. I've always felt that he's still alive, somewhere, just unable to find his way home."
"Mandy…" Alyssa nearly burst into tears, but she held them back.
There was something profound and indescribable about the bond between a mother and her child. It defied logic, and Alyssa understood that.
"Forget it. Let's not talk about this." Mandy forced herself to pull herself together. She wiped her tears gently with a handkerchief. Then, she instructed a helper calmly, "Prepare a discreet outfit for me and have the driver get the car ready."
After the helper acknowledged her instructions and left the room, Alyssa asked in a concerned voice, "Where are you going, Mandy?"
With a cold gleam in her eyes, Mandy answered, "I'm making a trip to Belbanks Second Prison."
Alyssa was stunned. "You're… going to see Mr. Joseph?"
"Yeah. Didn't Jasper suffer brain damage because of some strange medication? Joseph is an expert in biopharmaceuticals, so I wanted to ask him if he has any ideas."
Alyssa's heart skipped a beat. She perked up immediately. "Mandy, if you don't mind, I'd like to come with you!"

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🙄...
