However, Alyssa was pulled out of her thoughts as Jasper engaged in a fierce brawl with Jeffrey. Eachpunch he delivered was forceful and rapid.
The three other men ran toward Jasper, aiming their knives at him. They were determined to kill him.
There was no other option.
“Jasper, look out! Behind you!” Alyssa shouted, beads of sweat forming on her forehead.
Since Jasper hadn’t fully recovered, facing Jeffrey alone would be a daunting task for him. Now, thingswere worse with the trio of attackers closing in on him.
Not only that, Jeffrey was a merciless man whose each move aimed to kill.
Jasper was empowered when he heard Alyssa’s warning. Without looking back, he grabbed theattacker’s wrist and snapped it. The attacker’s agonizing scream pierced through the night.
Alyssa’s heart was pounding wildly. Memories of Jasper’s valor on the battlefield flooded her mind.
In the next instant, she watched as he decisively stabbed the attacker. As a doctor, she realized that

He felt pained when he thought of the cut on Alyssa’s arm. However, he dared not look her in the eye,fearing that she might be annoyed at him.

He was desperate to shield Alyssa, but he found himself unable to move.
After a momentary shock, Jasper quickly rushed up to grab the gun from Jeffrey, but it was too late.
“Mr. Beckett, say goodbye to your woman!”
What followed was an ear–splitting gunshot.
