Jasper woke up to find himself lying on a patient bed.
“Alyssa. The first thing out of his mouth was Alyssa’s name.
“The tendon in your right hand is injured. We observed some light concussion and a bit of
blood clot, but they shouldn’t pose an issue.” Alyssa stood by the windows with her back

When Jasper was in a coma, Xavier filled in Alyssa with the details of the car crash. Xavier

“Who are you torturing yourself for? Liana might feel sorry for you, but I won’t fall for it.”
She scoffed in silence. She sneered at him. “Rest well. I’m leaving.”
She approached the door in great strides.
“Alyssa, wait!”
When she didn’t stop, he hopped out of bed anxiously and ran after her. As she placed her

He swallowed hard as the urge rose in his body. Alyssa was breathing unevenly.

going on between the two.
Alyssa took her chance to free herself from Jasper and stomped hard on his feet with her
heels.
To her surprise, Jasper dodged her attack thanks to his quick reflex.
Despite the failed attack, she grasped at the chance to escape and was out of the room in
no time.
“S–She’s running away. Do I go after her?” Xavier gulped nervously at the look of murder
