Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2380

Axel didn't care that he was soaked to the bone. He grabbed onto Amber's shoulders as she trembled violently.

"You're alright… I'm here! Don't be afraid!"

Amber stared at him blankly. Her face was pale, and her mouth hung open. It was as if she were drowning, gasping for air.

"Was it a nightmare? You're okay. Don't be afraid… I'm right here." Axel panicked. He pulled her into his arms.

"I-I… I'll help myself." Amber shivered uncontrollably, trying to cover the old scars on her body.

Back at The Millennium, Jameson had tormented her for days. That dark, humiliating past was suffocating her.

She avoided leaving the lights on because intimacy deeply traumatized her.

She only showered alone; those hideous scars were constant reminders of her shameful past.

The trauma lingered, and she didn't want the love of her life to see her in such an ugly state.

Surprise flashed across Axel's eyes. He realized what was happening.

He stepped into the bathtub with her, embracing her tightly. His eyes were bloodshot.

"Amber, listen to me," he said, his arms wrapped securely around her.

Tears welled up in Amber's eyes. Being in Axel's warm embrace gradually calmed her.

"Amber, you are absolutely wonderful. I'm the lucky one to be with you. I am the one who doesn't deserve you." Axel gently patted her back as she trembled. Those scars pained him too.

"The past is the past. Let's look ahead. Happier days are waiting for us."

In the early hours of the morning, all was silent within Heightsnew Villa.

Alyssa sat on the patio, a blanket wrapped around her, gazing at the moon. She was worried about Jasper and the terrifying schemes Justin and Zachary might be plotting.

"Lyse? What are you doing here?"
