Jasper stumbled into the hotel's back garden and stopped by the pond. He panted hard, feeling as if he were drowning. Even so, he could not return to his usual composure.
As he shook all over, he bent down and grabbed a handful of snow. The bone-piercing cold spread through his body, but he still couldn't suppress the throbbing pain in his temples.
His eyes became bloodshot. He stuffed that handful of snow into his mouth and swallowed all of it.
He couldn't suppress it. He couldn't suppress it at all.
The pills. He needed those pills!
"Mr. Jasper? What are you doing here?" Sheryl's surprised voice came from behind Jasper.
He held his breath, his fingers tightening around the snow in his grasp, veins bulging as he clenched his fists. Slowly, he straightened his back and turned to face her.
"I came out for some fresh air," he answered in an extremely hoarse voice.
Sheryl narrowed her eyes and studied him. "Mr. Jasper, you look awful. Are you feeling unwell?"
"I'm fine." A drop of sweat trickled down Jasper's face.
"Mr. Jasper, you must let me know promptly if you have run out of those medications."
Sheryl stared at his back with a grim look in her eyes. She took another step closer. "The medication has to be taken on time according to the proper dosage. Otherwise, how long will it take for your headaches to be gone? Eventually—"
Jasper closed his reddened eyes and cut her off without warning. "I'm much better now. I don't need it for now."
A sinister look flashed across Sheryl's eyes. Right after that, she put on a gentle smile and gently patted Jasper on his shoulder.
Jasper knitted his brows together tightly and turned around.
As he locked eyes with Sheryl, she tilted her head up, her eyes gleaming with a playful light. She stood so close that the mist from her breath lightly touched his chin.
Coincidentally, Alyssa witnessed this flirtatious scene with her own eyes. Her heart wrenched. Frantically, she avoided them by hiding behind a faux rock. Yet, she couldn't help but peek at that romantic pair in the snow through the gap in the rocks.
She was surprised to see Sheryl smiling sweetly at Jasper, just like a young woman would at her first love.

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...
