“Lyse… What are you saying?” Newton stared dully at her, stunned by her words.novelbin
“Things went out of hand. Someone tried attacking us. I was trying to protect Lyla and couldn’t defendmyself. Not even our bodyguards were quick enough…
Alyssa recalled how Jasper had leapt to her aid, protecting her and taking the hard hit himself.
Tears clouded her eyes. Even her breathing grew harsh.
“Just when I thought I was done for, Jasper ran out to protect me. If it hadn’t been for him, I would bethe
one in the ER right now.
“This is all my fault, Grandpa… I shouldn’t have been so slow. You can punish me or scold me
to Jasper this time.”

“What are you talking about, you silly girl?” Newton’s eyes burned with tears as he pulled Alyssa up toher
feet.
“I’d be upset regardless of whether it was you or Jasper in there right now! If it really had been you … I
would only be more devastated!”
Feeling touched, Alyssa barely managed to croak out, “Grandpa…”
“Don’t feel guilty just because Jasper did this for you, Alyssa.” Newton gently caressed Alyssa’s hair,his eyes filled with tenderness.
“That foolish boy mistreated and held you back for a whole three years, even hurting you so deeply.
“He’s got what he deserved now! Don’t worry. That hit just might finally wake him up for good!”
Alyssa knew Newton was only trying to console her. Which grandparent wouldn’t be distraught at the
sight of their own grandson in such a dire state?
“Mr. Beckett!” Ben hurried over, looking anxious.
“Mr. Javier and Madam Sophia are here.”
Newton frowned. “Didn’t I say not to tell them about this?”
“I didn’t, but I couldn’t stop the news of something so important from reaching their ears!”
Just then, Javier and the rest of his family arrived.
“Jasper? Where’s Jasper?” Javier called out loudly as he walked over.
He rarely was this worried about his younger son. After hearing how badly Jasper was injured, he had
been so panicked that he had nearly aged another decade!
Sophia ground her teeth at Javier’s sudden change in attitude. But she could only pretend to beworried in
front of him.
She cried out, “Jasper! Where are you?”
Not even Betty could stomach it anymore. She quietly winced in disgust behind her mother.
“What are you yelling so loudly for? This isn’t a funeral!” Newton cried angrily, standing up with his
secretary’s help.
“Dad! How is Jasper right now?” Javier asked worriedly.
“They’re still tending to him in the ER. There’s no use getting all worked up now. Just sit down andwait!”
“Mr. Taylor, I heard that my son only got injured because he was saving your daughter. What do youhave
to say to that?” Javier stormed up to Winston.
If it weren’t for their professional relationship, Javier would have already grabbed the latter by the lapel.
Jonah swiftly stood in front of Winston, saying, “Let’s all take a step back, Mr. Javier.”
“Take a step back? If it was one of your brothers lying in the ER right now, do you think your fathercould
just ‘take a step back’?” Javier roared.
Ever since Jasper had divorced Alyssa, nothing but calamity had struck his family. Now because of her,
Jasper himself was in mortal danger. So how could Javier not be angry?
Sophia internally sneered. Things were getting more and more interesting.
She had only wanted to end Lyla for good. Who knew the little bastard, Jasper, would sacrifice himself
like that?
If it was death he wanted, it was death he would get!
“I can understand how you feel, Mr. Javier. But getting angry right now won’t change the fact that yourson
is still in the ER being rescued. It won’t solve anything either.”
