Female Novel
Chapter 1581
Alyssa listened to Mandy's words, eyes slowly tearing up.
Battered and bruised...
Barely breathing.
What suffering did her mother go through to have nearly lost her life in a foreign country?
Jasper held on to Alyssa's trembling hand, asking Mandy curiously, “During all the years Mrs. Taylor was here in Belbanks aloneand after giving birth to so many children, did she never once thought to contact her own family or return to her home country?"
Mandy shook her head, eyes downcast. "No, not once. Winston even changed Jennifer's lawful nationality and gave her a newidentity, cutting her off entirely from her past."
Both Jasper and Alyssa were even more confused now. What did Jennifer undergo to be willing to hide her identity andpermanently part ways with her home country?
Alyssa was all the more curious about her mother's identity now.
"| don't have answers for whatever more you might want to ask, Lyse. Your father has also privately reminded me on countlessoccasions to never tell you this information about your mother," Mandy said.
She then held Alyssa’s hand and pleaded tearfully, "I don't know why Winston is doing this, but you must trust him. He truly didlove Jennifer and loves you in turn.
“All he does, he does for your well-being, nothing else. So, Lyse, just pretend | never told you about Jennifer today. Don't askWinston about it. Okay?"
Alyssa loved her mother deeply, but she didn't want to trouble Mandy, so she could only nod tearfully.Winston's health had once again deteriorated due to Dominic's actions, just as he had started to show signs of improvement.Fortunately, Julien arrived in time to check up on Winston and gave him some medications to stabilize his condition.
When Julien returned to his office and shut the door, he slumped back in his chair, exhausted to the max. As Winston's primarydoctor, he was under great pressure.
Winston was his lover's father, after all. Who could understand the pressure of having to execute your job well in front of yourfuture father-in-law?
Julien splayed himself on the desk with his mouth crumpled up grumpily. Julien had helped Winston whenever the latter had asudden and dangerous decline in health, saving him from death's door countless times.
It had been three whole days of no sleep and long hours spent standing on his feet, making him both exhausted and hungry. ButJonah, heartless as he was, only worried over Winston and never once checked in on Julien.
Julien, accustomed to wine and the company of men, had always navigated life effortlessly, winning over whomever he pleased.But encountering Jonah changed everything, as Julien found himself in uncharted territory, experiencing the discomfort of beingoutplayed by another man.novelbin
