Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2364

As soon as Alyssa's health allowed for her discharge, she left the hospital swiftly without informing her family. Sean had just assisted her into the car when her phone rang.

The call was from Rosie.

"Mrs. Rosie, how have you been?" Alyssa couldn't hold the phone herself, her hands still bandaged, so Sean held it for her.

"I'm doing well. Madam, I heard from Mr. Jasper that you were injured?" Rosie's voice was concerned.

"I have been discharged from the hospital. Don't worry."

Alyssa couldn't help but recall the soup she had splattered across Jasper's three-piece suit the other day. To her surprise, she discovered that he had prepared for such an outcome.

It was as though he had predicted she might throw the soup. He had left one more serving of soup in the thermal flask just in case.

Feeling hungry after their heated argument, Alyssa managed to sit up in bed with effort. After he left, she finished the last remnants of soup from the thermal flask.

"Mrs. Rosie, did you ask Mr. Jasper to deliver soup to me while I was hospitalized?" Alyssa smiled. "The soup was delicious. I could tell that you made it. Thank you."

"It wasn't me, Madam. I wasn't the one who made the soup. Mr. Jasper made it for you personally!"

"He did?" Alyssa was stupefied.

"Mr. Jasper went to the countryside the day before to buy a wild chicken. He came back covered in mud, his suit covered in feathers, and smelling like chicken poop! Can you believe a neatly dressed gentleman like him did that?"

Rosie couldn't help but giggle as she recalled the scene. "I've seen him grow up, but I've never seen him like this before. He even went out to catch the chicken himself. If the public got wind of it, he'd become the biggest joke of the century!"

Alyssa couldn't believe her ears. Her heart pounded against her chest uncontrollably.

"There was even more chaos the next day. The first thing he did in the morning was to slaughter the chicken. Thanks to him, the kitchen looked like it was a crime scene. I'm not even kidding!"

Rosie went on, "Mr. Jasper used to be in the military and has killed terrorists while he was on the battlefield, right? According to him, slaughtering chickens is way more difficult than killing a human being!"

At that moment, Jasper sneezed violently in the president's office at Beckett Group.

Sean, who was nearby Alyssa, overheard what Rosie said. He was rendered speechless. Alyssa, on the other hand, let out a laugh. She did not know how she should react.

"I was the one who guided Mr. Jasper as he prepared the chicken soup for you, so it's only natural that it tasted similar to mine. Still, it was all his effort. He spent the whole day making it! Madam, don't you know what Mr. Jasper is like? He may struggle with words, but he knows who matters to him. You've always been in his heart."

Alyssa felt a wave of emotions—bitterness mixed with a strange warmth. It was like finding a piece of candy in a pile of sand.

After ending that call with Rosie, Alyssa stared blankly into space as she sat in the car. She couldn't pull herself out of those complex emotions that she was feeling.

Sean glanced at her through the rearview mirror from his driver's seat. He noticed the tears in Alyssa's eyes.

"Ms. Alyssa, I'll send you back to Heightsnew Villa," he offered in a warm voice.

"No, I don't want to go home," Alyssa responded softly.

Concern crept into Sean's voice. "You're not thinking of going to KS Group, are you? You need to rest."
