Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2319

Coincidentally, both Jasper's and Newton's expressions darkened, and they both fell into silence. It was as if they had read each other's minds and learned that neither of them wanted to let Justin in.

Yet, their unwelcome guest had already taken the liberty of coming in. Ben, who had been waiting at the door, reluctantly opened it for Justin.

"Grandpa, I heard that your condition suddenly flared up. How are you feeling? Are you feeling better now?"

Then, as if only just noticing Jasper in the room, Justin's eyes flickered briefly. He gave a warm smile. "Oh, Jasper. You're here too."

Jasper's expression remained grim. He nodded slightly. "Hey, Justin."

"If I'd known Jasper was here, I would've come tomorrow instead. I don't want to disrupt your rest." Justin wheeled himself over to Newton's bedside.

"It's fine, Justin," Newton replied, though his smile seemed forced. "But it's late, and you're not in great health yourself. You didn't have to make a trip to visit me."

Justin leaned forward slightly, a subtle gleam in his eyes. "Grandpa, you've always treated me the best and loved me the most. I wouldn't feel right not being by your side while you're in the hospital."

Newton's body trembled slightly beneath the blanket at Justin's words.

Jasper noticed the change but kept his expression neutral. He masked his doubts, a skill essential for someone in a high position.

Over the years, Jasper had become adept at concealing his emotions, though it often left him feeling isolated. Recently, those feelings had begun to resurface, filling his lonely nights with a sense of emptiness and a coldness that crept through him.

With a gentle expression on his face, Justin spoke again. "Grandpa, there's something I'd like to discuss with you in private. Would that be alright?"

Newton shot Jasper a conflicted look. "Is it urgent? Jasper isn't an outsider. You can just go ahead and say it."
