Chapter 1849
After making the arrangements, Jasper and Alyssa traveled home to Solana City. During the journey, he pulled her into a hug,kissing her on the ear. "Lyse, thank you. How can | ever thank you enough?"
"Why so formal?" Alyssa wrapped her arm behind his neck while tapping the tip of his nose, sending his heart fluttering. "Inreturn, how about you take Mrs. Rosie's place and cook for me for a month?"
"A month? You're underestimating me." He squinted at her with an affectionate look. "| can cook for you forever."She shook her head. "Oh, never mind then. | appreciate the thought. Eating your cooking forever will only be torture.”
She rendered Jasper speechless with that remark. Pouting, she added, "To be honest, | feel sorry for putting this burden onCyrus, but it's the only way to pressure the Hodgsons into calling off the marriage.
“Only when the Hodgsons give up on Lauren will Landon have the luxury of time to focus on his family matters. He'll stand achance to get back with Lauren once he sorts out his family issues.”
“Lyse, | have other ways to deal with the Hodgsons,” Jasper began.She shook her head. "! know you're prepared, but you shouldn't get into trouble with the politicians in Solana City."He said coldly, "| don't mind crossing anyone for Lauren and Landon's sake."
“But you can't get onto Javier's wrong side for now. You can't give him ammunition against you. If he thinks you're a liability to theBeckett Group, he has more reason to get rid of you." She sat up in his embrace and comforted him, "Don't worry. Mandy is acapable woman.
"She's been managing part of Winston's business and assets for years. I'm sure she will make the Hodgsons give up on theirsocial-climbing plan."
Jasper couldn't hold back a grin. He was about to kiss her again when her phone rang. She answered the call from Sean, "Hey,Sean."
"Ms. Alyssa, we have new updates on Betty Beckett," Sean reported urgently, "We got news that Betty went for a health checkupat the hospital, and she looked quite sick."
"Oh, great news, then." She spoke in a low voice, her eyes shining with a chilling look, "Get someone to monitor her. After sheleaves the hospital, get her blood sample by any means."
"Got it, Ms. Alyssa!"
At the same time, Betty struggled with continuous low fever for a week at Mosgravia. The fever did not subside even though shetook medications.
She had not planned to visit the hospital due to the expensive consultation fees in Mosgravia. Her allowance was a pittance thatwasn't enough to sustain her lavish lifestyle, not to mention pay for medical expenses.
She recalled the times in the past when she had people tending to her for something as minor as a prick in the finger. Thedifference in treatment saddened her.
However, she decided to visit the hospital late at night, as new symptoms such as lethargy and persistent cough emerged.
After going through multiple checkups and tests, she wrapped herself in a dirty jacket and drifted to sleep on the bench in thehospital corridor.
In the middle of her sleep, a nurse woke her up and reminded her to get the test results from the doctor.
The doctor hesitated as he glanced at Betty's test results. Finally, he said in a low voice, "Madam, I'm sorry to let you know thatyou have caught HIV. We came to this conclusion from all the tests we ran on you."
"HIV?" Betty's face paled. She fixed a blank stare on the doctor's serious face.novelbin
