Chapter 212
“Mr. Beckett!”
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
against the light, leaving him with the sight of her lovely silhouette. 1
When Jasper was in a coma, Xavier filled in Alyssa with the details of the car crash. Xavier
claimed that Jasper had not slept at all. He found Jasper in the study filled with suffocating
cigarette smoke in the morning.
“I think he must have lost his focus because he didn’t sleep well. His headache might have
affected his driving as well.”
Alyssa was aware of the intensity of Jasper’s headache. For that reason, he had rarely

He had pulled off sleep deprivation, heavy smoking, and refusal of medical treatment in
one day.
“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
hand on the door handle, he put his arms against the surface and trapped her between his

“Is it that hard to tell me the truth?”
“Well, I was out of my mind at that time! Get off me, or I’m calling for help!”
He remained motionless at her unsatisfactory answer.

He swallowed hard as the urge rose in his body. Alyssa was breathing unevenly.
“Mr. Beckett! M–Madam!” Xavier was astonished by his discovery. He couldn’t figure out

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
in
Jasper’s eyes. He wondered if he had shown up at the wrong time.
“Huh?” Jasper cracked his knuckles and squinted his rage–filled eyes. “Go to the HR and

out! Your bonus is canceled.”
