Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2514

A crescent moon cast its cold glow over the laboratory base, heavy darkness swallowing the compound whole.

Remy and Finnegan entered Amber's ward one after the other. Amber lay motionless on the hospital bed in the dim, airless room, her frail frame nearly lost beneath an oversized white gown. The loose fabric only emphasized how thin and pale she had become, as though a single gust of wind could carry her away.

Her cloudy, sunken eyes slowly opened and fixed on Remy as he approached. She was so weak she could not even part her lips to speak. A tear slipped silently from the corner of her reddened eye.

Remy took in her condition, his gaze darkening. She was at her limit. If she weren't removed and given proper treatment soon, she would last no more than a month.

"Remy…" Finnegan murmured near his ear.

Keeping his expression impassive, Remy lifted his gaze to the surveillance camera in the corner. Its green light blinked steadily. In a cold voice, he instructed, "Administer the experimental drug."

"Yes, Remy."

Finnegan picked up a syringe and approached Amber.

Amber's eyes widened in sudden terror. Panic surged through her frail body as she struggled with what little strength she had left. The steel cuffs around her ankles clanged sharply against the metal frame.

Finnegan glanced at the camera, his face turning merciless. "Behave! Do you really think struggling will help? Keep it up and I'll give you extra doses so you can truly experience how powerful this drug is."

"Just… kill me… if you dare…" Amber rasped hoarsely. "Take my life… all of you…"

Remy stepped forward at once, gripping her shoulders to steady her. He leaned close, his voice warm and steady against her ear. "Don't be afraid. I switched the medication. It's only a vitamin shot."

Amber's dim pupils contracted as her gaze locked onto his—clear, resolute, unwavering.

Her cracked lips parted slightly. Tears streamed down her face as she choked out a single syllable. "Da—"

The sound was barely audible, yet it struck Remy like a blade to the chest.

"Don't speak. Save your strength."

He took the syringe from Finnegan and gently injected the vitamin into her arm, already mottled with needle marks. His eyes were bloodshot, as though he had wept.

"Conserve your energy," he whispered. "You still have to leave this place and reunite with the man you love."

Axel…

Tears clung to Amber's lashes as they trembled. Her heart twisted in agony.
