Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2370

Sean was gobsmacked when Alyssa changed into a medical outfit, donned a face mask, and tied her hair back into a neat ponytail.

As night fell, her twinkling eyes glistened like stars in the Milky Way, enchanting anyone who stole even a fleeting look.

"What are you staring at? Haven't you seen me like this before?" Alyssa asked, amused by Sean's dumbfounded expression.

But she could tell he wasn't gazing at her with any amorous intent. His eyes reflected only pure fondness and admiration.

"N-No… It's not that," Sean stammered, scratching his head awkwardly. "I was just thinking—even with just your eyes visible and dressed in a lab coat, you still look amazing."

He hesitated before adding curiously, "Did you look like this when you worked with Doctors Without Borders in Luminara?"

Alyssa straightened her outfit and replied, "Yeah, something like this."

Suddenly, Sean perked up and asked, "I heard that Mr. Beckett once participated in an emergency combat mission in Luminara when he was in the military. Luminara isn't that big of a country. Did you meet him back then?"

Alyssa froze. Her numb pinky finger on her left hand quivered slightly before she answered hesitantly, "I don't think so. Otherwise, why wouldn't he have recognized me?"

Sean felt his chest tighten. He hesitated, unsure if he should say more. He couldn't shake the feeling that Alyssa was concealing something heavy—something burdened with helplessness and regret.

…

Before Alyssa left, Sean insisted she put on a scrub hat. Her radiant presence was difficult to disguise, and the more she covered up, the safer she would be.

Fully suited, Alyssa planned to sneak into the hospital through its back entrance.

Contrary to her expectations, even this desolate and run-down hospital had personnel guarding both the front and back doors. Judging by their stances, Alyssa quickly deduced that these guards weren't part of the police force. They were Sheryl's underlings.

This confirmed her suspicion that illicit activities were taking place within the hospital.

Alyssa didn't act rashly. Instead, she hid among the trees, observing quietly.
