Chapter 879
The Taylor siblings were all present out of concern for Alyssa. Liam was the only one absent, being inthe military.
“Jonah, why did Lyse have an accident out of the blue?” Tatiana gasped, tears brimming in her eyes.
Feeling bad, Sean wanted to hug Tatiana, but he knew his place as a secretary. It would beinappropriate to do so in front of the other Taylor siblings.
He brushed away his thoughts, but his passionate gaze lingered on Tatiana.
Perhaps a man of his standing was only good enough to stand guard for Tatiana.
“Right, Jonah. Lyse is an excellent driver. Her skills are as good as mine. There’s no reason she’d raminto someone’s car. By right, she would have been the one who speeds on the roads,” Axel said inconfusion.novelbin
On Axel’s way to the hospital, he was gravely concerned by Alyssa’s condition, which was rare forsomeone who had never flinched at the gunpoint of criminals on his missions.
Huddled in the corridor, Silas and Cyrus cast worried glances at Jonah. The air was somber and heavy.
Jonah, looking frosty, clenched his jaw and sank into a long silence.
Silas elbowed him. “Jonah? Say something.”
“It was a minor accident. Lyse suffered from some minor injuries, and she was in shock,” Jonah finallyreplied after pulling himself out of anger.
He added flatly, “I’ll need you all to take turns looking after Lyse for the next two days. Don’t inform Dadand our moms yet. They’re with Lyla. I believe Lyse wouldn’t want to burden them further. They arenow keeping Lyla company. Lyse wouldn’t want to add to their worries as well.”
“Jonah, you make us sound like outsiders! Lyse is our sister. We will stay back and take care of hereven without you telling us!” Axel grumbled indignantly with a frown.
“That’s right, Jonah. Lyse is our top priority,” Silas and Cyrus chimed in.
After exchanging glances with Sean and coming to a tacit agreement, Tatiana proposed, “Silas, Cyrus,you are both working. Since I’m free, I will take turns looking after Lyse with Sean. Please go home andrest.”
“I’m fine, though. I took leave with the police department,” Cyrus immediately rejected he
He let out a guilty sigh. “As Lyse’s brother, I have never done anything for her. I can’t call my brother if Idon’t stay by her side when she needs someone.”
The Taylor siblings were never as calculative and greedy as the children of other distinguished families.Their unity and strong bond were envied by many.
“Jonah, did you arrange for us to take over because you have something else to do?” Silas questioned
with his sharp instincts as a prosecutor.
He sensed that Jonah was acting weird and suppressing rage.
Jonah admitted, “Yes, I need to attend to something.”
Then, he looked at the door and hesitated before entering. The nurse had changed Alyssa’s dressing,and Alyssa put on the oversized patient robe. She was now resting on the bed with her eyes closed. He
had no idea if she was asleep or not.
He quietly approached her and bent over to give her a kiss on the forehead. He mumbled, “Rest well,my princess. I’ll be back to visit you again.”
Without opening her eyes, she weakly muttered, “Jonah, I’m fine. Don’t worry about me.”
Her reassurance only deepened Jonah’s pain. Tears welled up in his eyes, and he fought against them.
Jonah, wearing a grim expression, headed to the underground parking garage. At his car, he heardJulien’s voice behind him. “Jonah!”
Jonah paused, took a deep breath, then slowly turned to face Julien in the dim lighting.
