Female Novel
Chapter 1723
Clarissa jolted in fear.
"Besides, don't you know how much a kidney transplant costs? Your dad still proved himself useful to me when he was theAttorney General years ago. | would have seen it as an investment and saved him back then.
“But he's a dying old man now. Why would | waste my money and energy on a man who's about to meet his maker? I'm notdoing charity." Josh looked away in disdain and snorted. "If your dad could wait, make him wait. If he can't, he only has himself toblame."
After Josh left, Clarissa fell on her knees helplessly. She covered her face and wept.
In the evening, Clarissa changed into simple clothes to visit her father, Oscar Sparks, at the hospital. She covered every inch ofher skin from head to toe to hide her bruises and scars from Oscar.
Oscar had weakened to a point where he struggled to speak. Still, he tried to stop Clarissa from worrying about him because hewas aware of her suffering in her marriage to Josh.
Had the Schmidt family not financially assisted the Sparks family, the Sparkses would have gone bankrupt. It was all thanks tothe Schmidt Group that Clarissa's brother, Hendrix Sparks, had a job. As a result, Oscar dared not ask for more.
Clarissa verbally promised not to worry, but she took the chance of getting water and sobbed inconsolably on the bench in thecorridor.
The doctor gave Oscar a month to live. A kidney transplant was their final hope, but the surgery risk was high.
Oscar had repeatedly talked her out of trying, but she couldn't bring herself to give up on him. As a daughter, she wanted her dadto live. Moreover, Oscar was the only reason that kept her going. If Oscar passed away, she would have no reason to live withthe Schmidts.
Right then, she heard the steady sounds of leather shoes and the crisp clicking of heels. Two people approached her."Ms. Sparks."
Clarissa couldn't help but marvel at the clear and melodious voice. She slowly raised her swollen eyes, only to be shocked byAlyssa and Jasper's presence. They looked like the perfect couple.
Although Clarissa was in a seated position with Alyssa towering over her, Alyssa did not put on any airs. Instead, she flashedClarissa a gracious and friendly smile.
Jasper, holding onto Alyssa's waist, looked as handsome as ever. No man from the Schmidt family could hold a candle to himn—not even Jameson, the popular choice in the race to power right now.
Although Jameson was good-looking, he did not exude the same air as Jasper. Jameson wouldn't appear like a leader, even ifhe was appointed to be one. Jasper was the embodiment of a real leader. No woman except for Alyssa was good enough forhim. They were indeed a match made in heaven.
“Mr. Beckett, Ms. Alyssa, why are you..." Clarissa's voice trailed off in surprise.
Not in a rush to explain the purpose of the visit, Alyssa took a seat beside Clarissa like a friend. "General Sparks must have beenhospitalized for quite a while."novelbin
Clarissa lowered her head. It had been a while since she heard Oscar being addressed as such. "Dad has retired a while ago. |haven't heard anyone calling him General since."
Alyssa smiled patiently. "GeneralSparks might have retired, but hislegacy in the Solana Ci justice)systemremaing Nis ond brotherisa brosecutor.

Alyssa nodded in silence. Upon getting the green light, Jasper handed over the documents they prepared to Clarissa."What is."
"Ms. Sparks, we don't need an answer from you right away. Please have a look at these documents for now," Alyssa suggestedwith a calm smile.
