Female Novel
Chapter 1656
Jonah tentatively asked, "Lyse, would you harbor resentment toward me if | ever lied to you?"
Alyssa's eyes widened in astonishment. "Resentment" was a weighty term to introduce into their conversation. She hadn'tanticipated such a question from Jonah.
"Jonah, did something happen? Why that sudden question?” She grabbed his muscular arm and swung it gently. "Just tell mewhat's on your mind. Don't give me a scare, okay?"
Jonah stared at the ground with a dispirited look on his face.
"Jonah, no matter what you did, I'll always see you as my brother. | won't hate you." Alyssa choked up with emotions, perhapsfrom the compounding stress of Winston's situation and Jonah's moody remark. "Whatever happens, just know that you're thebest. You're irreplaceable!"
"You silly goose." Smiling wryly, he stroked her head softly as Jasper watched on.
In the past, Jasper would have turned green in envy at the sight. However, he was solely concerned about Jonah at thatmoment. For some reason, he felt that Jonah was hesitant and troubled.
Jonah had always been enigmatic to Jasper. Their shared experience at Shelland Island only confirmed Jasper's guess aboutJonah's well-hidden and shocking past.
Suddenly, they heard frenzied footsteps closing in.“Lyse! Jonah!"They looked in the direction of the sounds and appeared surprised. "Mandy? W-Why is everyone here?"
Winston's three wives showed up at the hospital. Silas, Cyrus, and Tatiana had taken leave to join them. Even Liam, who wasstationed far away in Leichtown, turned up. The entire family had assembled.
Alyssa and Jonah shot up from their seats and exchanged astonished looks, feeling confused as they had not revealed anythingto the other family members.
Jasper pressed his lips and stepped back to offer some privacy for the Taylors who had gathered at the hospital, including Liam.Thankfully, Landon wasn't around, for he would have teased him about being a husband who was beneath his in-laws, makinghim feel like the bottom banana in the bunch.
“Lyse, what happened to Dad? How did his condition worsen?" Silas’ voice was filled with worry, his breath heavy. "How did hewet himself in public?"
"Silas, how did you know about that?" Alyssa was taken aback. Jasper's chest tightened. A glint of suspicion flickered in his eyesas he instinctively thought of Dominic.novelbin
