Can’t Win Me Back novel (Alyssa and Jasper) novel Chapter 2520

"What? Jasper, Cyrus, and Axel… Why didn't you wake me up and tell me about this earlier?" Alyssa demanded, both shocked and furious.

She was so agitated that sweat drenched her face. She tried to get out of bed, but Jonah pressed her back down with a firm grip.

"Don't be rash, Lyse! You're too weak right now. You can barely stand without losing your balance. What exactly do you think you can contribute if you go? Do you want Jasper distracted because of you? Do you want him worrying about you instead of saving Amber?"

"Am I… Am I nothing but a burden to him now? Is that all I am?" Her voice trembled violently. "We're one. I have to go and help him. What am I supposed to do if something happens to him?"

Alyssa broke down completely, tears streaming without end. Her voice hitched between sobs. "Dad can't even remember me anymore. I can't… I can't lose Jasper too… Even if we can't go back to the way things were, even if he doesn't love me anymore, I still want to stay by his side…

"All I want is to be with him… Jonah, I really can't live without him…"

It didn't matter if he found her bothersome. It didn't matter if he had forgotten her. She would be content just seeing him every day.

At this moment, Alyssa wasn't blinded by love. She was drowning in despair, clawing desperately at the last thread of hope before she shattered completely.

And Jasper was the only person she believed could save her.

"Calm down, Lyse!"

Jonah, who had never once raised his voice at her, finally lost his temper and growled, "Jasper isn't the only person in your life. You have us! You have people who love you! Dad may have forgotten us, but that might only be temporary. And even if he never remembers—so what?

"Isn't it enough that he is still alive? When he was in a coma, didn't you say you would accept anything as long as he regained consciousness? Now that he has, why are you dissatisfied? We can't have everything. Don't let your greed consume you!"

Alyssa froze, her face pale and stiff. Still, the tears kept falling.

"Besides, are you sure you even want to go where Jasper is right now?"

Jonah let out a heavy sigh, his chest tight. "I didn't want to tell you, but there's no point hiding it anymore. Jasper called me this morning. He told me to hold you back, no matter what.

"Who would've thought? Even with his emotion processing affected by that drug, he still understands you better than anyone. He still cares about you the most.

"He just doesn't express it the way he used to. He doesn't confess his love like before."

Alyssa shut her eyes tightly and lowered her head, recalling the tender kiss from the night before. The warmth of Jasper's lips still lingered on hers.

So what if the love they once had had changed? It wouldn't stop them from loving each other from this point onward.

With a steady gaze, Jonah continued, "Jasper said he's figured out your thoughts and your plan. You distanced yourself from him for a reason. You wanted to get close to Justin and earn his trust. Isn't that right?"
