Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 588

Chapter 588 

Newton poured a glass of warm water for Jasper, handing it to his grandson, who sat across from him. 

“Thank you, Grandpa.” Jasper gratefully took the glass, sitting up straight. He cupped the glass with a 

hand around the body and another at the base. 

“How’s your injuries, Jasper?” Newton asked gently. 

“They’re mostly surface wounds but have healed a lot,” Jasper replied, masking most of his weakness and 

pain. “Don’t worry about me, Grandpa. I’m stronger than you think. I was in the army once, after all.” 

“Then why didn’t you fight back when your father hit you?” Newton scowled. “That vixen, Sophia, clearly 

influenced him to hurt you for no good reason. Why didn’t you just snatch the whip away and hit her back?! 

He’d called Jasper over just to question him about this. 

Jasper looked down at his glass of water. To Newton’s surprise, he stayed silent. 

After a moment, Newton asked in a softer tone, “You’re my grandson, Jasper, and blood of blood. You 

don’t still feel like you owe it to our family, do you?” 

Jasper’s lips pressed into a thin line. 

When he was five years old, he once had to survive in a filthy, narrow little slumhouse with his sick and 

frail mother. It was a stormy night when those cars arrived outside the house. Rainwater had drenched 

the building, and the biting cold wind numbed their fingers. 

Jasper had been sitting by the bed, trying to feed her mother some water. 

Javier had been younger then, clad in a smart suit and tie as he walked into the room. Not even his 

leather shoes had a drop of rainwater on them. 

All Jasper had in mind at that time when he saw this man was- 

“Please. Please save my mom, sir!” 

Javier had marched over to the bedside. Tears welled up in his 

eyes as he hugged Jasper’s thin and sickly 

mother. He cried out, “Oh, Anne! My sweet Anne! I’m so sorry it took me so long. I’m so sorry! I’m finally 

here for you and our son.” 

Jasper still vividly remembered his father’s devotion to his mother, insisting on marrying her no matter 

the pressure from his family and the public. Thus, Jasper, a child born out of wedlock, was legitimized.

He never understood, though. Did Javier really love his mother? If he did, why would he turn his affections elsewhere, causing his mother to commit suicide when she crumbled under her depression? 

Jasper often wondered whether it would have been better for his mother to die on that cold, stormy night sick in bed or from the torturous existence the love of her life had caused her.
