Looking at the sullen expression on Jasper's face, Xavier leaned forward.
In a serious voice, he said, "Mr. Beckett, no one in this world stays the same forever. You have to be extra wary of Justin. When needed, you have to strike back! You can repay his kindness, but that cannot be why he is guilt-tripping or even threatening you!"
After a moment of silence, Xavier added, "No, wait. There's one thing in this world that I believe will never ever change."
Jasper lifted his eyes. "What is it?"
"The love Madam has for you!"
There was a slight quiver in Jasper's lashes while a strange ball of emotions surged within him.
…
Three days passed.
Alyssa was transferred from the ICU to a regular ward. Fortunately, after being subjected to a full body checkup, she was found not to be suffering from any after-effects after she regained consciousness.
The only issue was that her frostbitten hands had to be bandaged up after medication had been applied.
She pretended to be relaxed and joked light-heartedly about her hands looking like a bear's paws.
Nevertheless, Jonah, who had rushed back from Mosgravia to watch over her by her side, did not find that amusing at all.
"Jonah, why did you come back?"
Alyssa tried to prop herself up so that she could sit up, but Jonah pushed her shoulders down. She continued, "Where's Jul? Have you found him?"
Jonah's eyes glistened. In a gruff voice, he answered, "No, I haven't. I managed to find his whereabouts twice, but he left before I got there. He was hiding from me on purpose."
Alyssa felt terrible to hear that. Her brother had given everything for her and the Taylor family. Yet, the one thing he desired—to love a single person—seemed so out of reach.
The Taylors weren't cursed when it came to their love lives, were they?
"Lyse, you have really gone overboard this time."
Jonah's heart was filled with concern and a lingering fear. He gave Alyssa the fiercest glare ever.
"At the end of it all, Jasper is just a man. Why would you take your own life just because of a breakup with a man?
"When you lost your will to live, didn't you think of us, Dad, and our late mother? She has been watching over you from the heavens. Would she be able to rest in peace if she were to see you like this, in this state of not even cherishing your own health?"
Sean happened to enter the room at this moment. He felt bad seeing Jonah give Alyssa a dressing down.

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
7 chapters a day would be great...
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🙄...
