Seconds ticked by. Yet, Winston continued to stare blankly into Alyssa's reddened eyes. Confusion and shock were evident on his face, but the tender affection once etched into his very being was nowhere to be found.
"Who… are you?" he asked.
In that instant, Alyssa's world went dark. Her vision swam, her mind spinning violently. She refused to believe it. She refused to accept that her father, the man who had loved her most in this world, had forgotten her.
Her composure was shattered completely. She grabbed Winston by the shoulders and shook him frantically, as though he were a malfunctioning electronic device at home—desperate to jolt his memories awake.
"Dad, I'm Alyssa… I'm your favorite Lyse! Take a good look at me… How could you forget me?"
"My dear… Stop shaking… me… I feel sick…" Winston stammered, discomfort twisting his features.
Everyone rushed forward at once. Jonah wrapped his long arms around Alyssa's trembling shoulders, pulling her tightly into his embrace. He kept murmuring words of comfort in his hoarse, gentle voice, yet her body continued to shake uncontrollably in his arms.
With tears pooling in his eyes, Liam stepped closer. "Lyse, we understand how desperate you feel, but Dad just woke up. He won't be able to take this."
"No… No!" Panic surged through Alyssa. She broke down completely, sobbing as tears streamed down her face. "Winston Taylor, I am your daughter. Your daughter! Take a good look at me. You're not allowed to forget me. You're not!"
Jasper had already forgotten her. Even recalling that agony now felt like torture. If Winston had also forgotten her, it would be no different from tearing her soul apart. If she lost the reason to keep going, how was she supposed to live on?
"Daughter… Daughter? I cannot remember. My head hurts so badly…"
Pain slowly crept across his face as his eyes closed once more.
Lyla stepped forward, her eyes bloodshot, and spoke gently, "Calm down, Lyse. Let's not push Winston right now. Give him some time to rest. Perhaps his memories might return gradually."
It was obvious that Colene had also been crying. Still, she steadied herself and added softly, "Lyla's right. Many patients are disoriented when they first regain consciousness. He'll likely recover once the healing process progresses."
They had all chosen to be with Winston. In the darkest and most desperate times of their lives, he had reached out to them. He gave them shelter, supported their families, and ensured they lived without worry.

Please give us a proper ending. I can't believe that we reached as far as chapter 2483 and the story is still hanging. We would love at least for Alyssa and Jasper to be reunited without hassles....
Can u post more chapters as promised for 7 chapters a day. Enjoyed the story very much. Hope all is well and thank you in advance....
HI. I am stuck on 2454 for over 3 months now. Will there be any more chapters or we just have to stop waiting for it and forget about this book....
seems to have come to a halt useless...
Where are the chapters please ? Over a week no updates....
Just tell me where to purchase the book I definitely will buy it...
Need more chapters please...
It’s dwindled down to 1 page a day??...
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....
