"That's fine too, but you should keep it a secret from Winston. He's still unwell, after all." Jasper looked concerned at the mentionof Winston. He seemed to regard Alyssa's father as his family now.
Alyssa nodded and lowered her gaze. "| won't ask Winston about it. | won't force him to talk if he doesn't want to. I'll learn aboutMom's past through my own investigation.
"There's just one thing that boggles my mind. What exactly was it about my mom's past that Winston wanted to keep it a secret?I'm fine with him keeping things from me when | was a child, but as my mom's only daughter, | deserve to know everything abouther now that I'm all grown up.
"| don't care if Mom had a spotty background. Even if she were a wanted criminal internationally, she would always be mommydearest to me."
Jasper listened to her words silently as he grappled with the heartache. He was transported back to the time he lived at the filthyand dingy slums, where he recalled hearing insults and curses hurled at Anne.
People labeled her a dance hall girl and a prostitute. The harassment even extended to Jasper, branding him a bastard child andsuggesting that Anne was riddled with sexual diseases from all the random men she slept with.
He refused to believe that Anne was the woman people painted her to be. Even if she were guilty as accused, his love for herwould remain unwavering.

"Mom, I've missed you..." Zoe sobbed uncontrollably.
"Zoe, | immediately told your grandpa about what happened to you. He was close to tears," Preston remarked while casting anamused look at his niece. "Your grandpa will never drive you out of Solana City. Just focus on getting better. Don't worry aboutanything.”
