Also at a loss, Javier yelled anxiously, "Dad! Dad, are you okay? Get an ambulance now!"
Panic erupted in the conference room, the air thick with chaos.
Justin pushed through the crowd and knelt beside Newton, his gaze heavy with feigned concern as he studied Newton's pale, pained face. "Grandpa, are you having one of your episodes? Please, hang in there."

Newton's bloodshot eyes widened as he struggled to speak. "Y-You... m-monster..."
Justin's lips curled into a cold smile. "What a flattering compliment. Thank you."

The readers' comments on the novel: Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper)
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🙄...
