Chapter 802
The air in Sophia’s room hung heavy with tension.
Sophia was once pampered by Javier. He might even be more attentive to her than to Newton when Newton was sick. When she fell ill, Javier would worry and visit her daily.
Yet, after three days, he hadn’t shown up, which was a first.
She leaned weakly against the headboard, her lips trembling. Through her tears, she stared longingly at him.
Sophia started, “Javier, have you been busy? I know it’s hard to get away from the work at Beckett Group. I understand. I’m fine, though. Just a ruptured eardrum and I’ve had surgery-”
Javier interrupted with a low, stern voice, “Sophie, I’m here to ask you something. Was Alyssa telling the truth?”
Sophia was caught off guard, and her eyes wavered.
“Javier, do you still doubt me? But I’m your wife. You know how I treated you over the years. I’ve given you two daughters and risked my life giving birth to Lauren. After all I’ve sacrificed, how could I possibly cheat on you with a murder suspect?”
She wailed, “Javier, don’t you love me anymore? This is what happens when you don’t love a person- you’ll distrust her! Everything she does will look suspicious to you.”
Beneath her rage, unease, and nervousness lurked. Her confrontation masked her inner panic.
“I wasn’t talking about Ronald Branson. I will look into your relationship with him,” muttered Javier emotionlessly. “I was talking about Lyla Nelson. Were you behind the attack against her?”
“No! No! That wasn’t me!” Sophia raised her voice and tried to clarify, “Why would I hurt her? What could I gain from it? There’s no need for me to take that risk.”
Javier stared at her while tightening his grip on his phone, which was warm in his hand.
In the past three days, he had instructed his secretary to investigate the relationship between Sophia and Ronald secretly.
Some of Alyssa’s claims were untrue-Sophia didn’t secretly date Ronald or give Ronald her necklace as a love token.
However, some claims were partially true. Sophia knew Ronald from their time at TS Network, and they
When Javier entered, he found Sophia leaning weakly against the headboard, staring at Betty through tears. Sophia mumbled, “Betty, I’m thirsty. Can you get some water for me?”
Sophia’s ability to produce tears reminded Betty of that bitch Liana Gardner, whose whereabouts were uncertain.
“Dad! You’re finally here!” Betty covered her mouth, feigning a look of shock.
Javier fixed his gaze on the feeble Sophia in bed with an inexplicable look. She felt uneasy under his scrutiny.
Javier said, “Betty, taking care of your mom must have been tough for you. I’ve asked the family maids to take over. Go home and rest.”
“Sure. Dad, Mom, I’ll leave now,” said Betty, who cast a knowing glance at Sophia before leaving the room and closing the door behind her.
“Ms. Betty, I’ll send you home,” the bodyguard at the door addressed Betty politely.
She refused, “It’s fine. Give me the car keys. I need to go on a drive.”
Frustrated, Betty headed to the underground parking to retrieve the car. After three days in the hospital,
the scent of disinfectant clung to her clothes.

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🙄...
