Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2347

Jasper's eyes dimmed, and his chapped lips curled downward in a tight frown.

Alarm bells rang in Xavier's mind. He rushed forward and stood in front of Jasper's hospital bed as if shielding him from a threat.

For once, Justin's usual bright demeanor was replaced by something colder—grim and calculating. His eyes burned with unspoken anger, and it was clear he wasn't here for a social call.

Upon noticing all that, Winston frowned.

"Mr. Justin, Mr. Jasper is injured. I wonder which fool let his dog loose to harm him." Through gritted teeth, Xavier urged Justin to leave. "Mr. Jasper doesn't wish to entertain any visitors right now. He needs rest. Please leave!"

Upon hearing that, the look in Justin's eyes dimmed subtly.

In reality, Xavier had no idea who the mastermind was. He was simply blowing the matter out of proportion, driven by his frustration and anger.

Unexpectedly, Justin had taken his casual remark to heart.

Not wanting Winston to witness the awkward tension between the Becketts, Jasper hissed under his breath, "Xavier, don't be rude to Justin."

Justin ignored Xavier but looked to Winston instead. He lifted the corners of his lips slightly into an elegant smile. "Apologies for barging in, Mr. Winston."

Winston forced a smile in return. "No need for apologies, Mr. Justin. I am an outsider here. You and Jasper are brothers, after all. It's more like I'm the nuisance here."

Justin's gaze hardened. "Mr. Winston, I'm afraid I must ask for a moment alone with my brother."

It was clear what he meant—Winston was to leave.

Winston gave Jasper a concerned look. "Rest well, Jasper. I shall not stand in the way of your brotherly conversation."

Not only did this man before his eyes once save his daughter's life, but he also had a pure and refined image that felt as warm as a spring breeze. All who saw him would get a good impression of him.

Yet, for some reason, he simply did not feel particularly good about Justin. He kept feeling that there was a barrier between them, and all he wanted to do was keep his distance.

"Justin, you can just say what you want."

Having been through this incident, Jasper became greatly suspicious of Justin, even though he had once saved his life. Deep down, he was greatly conflicted and reluctant to have this private conversation with Justin.

"Mr. Winston is an elder I respect. I haven't seen him in a really long time, so I'd like to spend more time with him."

Winston's eyes widened at that. His heart was warmed.

"You can say your piece right here. If it's not convenient, we can talk tomorrow instead."

Upon saying that, Jasper lowered his eyes, making it obvious that he was not keen to speak to him.

A dark look filled Justin's eyes. He took a heavy breath, then said in a hoarse voice, "Jasper, Ms. Alyssa was in danger and almost lost her life in the mountain forests this time.
