Chapter 509
Just then, thunder sounded in the skies, followed by a strike of white lightning.
It seemed to have struck Jasper to the ground, making his entire body numb and fixed to the spot. Only
his heart remained tossing and turning in turmoil.
“How long has she been joining you on your hikes, Mr. Forrest?” Jasper inquired restrainedly as if he were
suppressing some emotion.
“For the past three years now, actually.”
The past three years.
That meant since the start of their marriage.
Jasper’s heart lurched once again. Bile filled his throat, flooding his senses.
Alice… Alyssa …
Jasper came to realize that Alyssa had been keeping that from him all these years, even though they were
doing the same thing.
While Jasper had his own reasons for his actions, he couldn’t help but wonder about Alyssa’s motivations.
His head throbbed painfully. All these lies and secrets were driving him insane!
“Oh dear. The rain’s a-coming.” Elijah glanced at the gray clouds gathering above the mountains and got
his walkie-talkie out.
He said, “Elias, it looks like a thunderstorm is on our heels. Please have the team be extra careful during
the patrol, especially Alice! Over.”
“Don’t worry, sir. Over,” came Elias’ reply.
Jasper’s jaw was clenched worriedly. He turned and ran right into the park.
“Mr. Jasper, where are you going?” Elijah cried.
Jasper kept running, with only five words on his mind right now-“I need to find her!”
The sky darkened considerably as thunderclouds gathered as far as the eye could see. It felt like the sun
has taken a holiday.

“Damn it!” someone cried, “We already warned these hikers about potential thunderstorms! Why did they
still decide to go on a hike?”
“Let’s just focus on the present, shall we? Our duty as park rangers is to keep the hikers safe no matter their personal decisions!” Elias yelled through the torrent of rain and wind.
“Over here, Mr. Parker!” Alyssa called, noticing a hiker’s phone caught between some rocks.
“It must have belonged to that missing hiker! We must be on the right track!”
Elias noticed how fast the weather was turning south. If they continued staying there, they might be the
ones in danger next.
He hurriedly instructed, “Split into two formations! Ms. Alice and Team A will go north with me while
Team B heads west!”
“Yes, sir!”
The raincoat and windbreaker Alyssa had on were nothing compared to the violent tearing of wind and
rain. She was shivering right now. Even her breath came out as a wispy mist.
The two teams went on their separate ways to search for the missing hiker. It was a dense and large
mountain, paths nearly indistinguishable from one another in the torrential rain.
“Help … Help me! Help me!”
“The hiker is nearby. I can hear her already!” Alyssa announced, stopping to gauge her surroundings for

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