Chapter 745
Jameson donned a patient’s gown in a hospital VIP ward. Then, he reclined in bed. His
handsome and delicate face lost its color, and his lips resembled pale, wilting petals,
portraying a frail image that evoked
sympathy.
“Mr. Schmidt, why are you so foolish?”
Todd stood by the bed, still visibly shaken. “Mr. Schmidt, do you realize how dangerously
close you came to being seriously hurt by that horse? if it had trampled you, you might
have lost your life right then, and all your hardships and plans in Kontina would have been
for nothing!”
Jameson gradually opened his eyes and smirked. “Todd, it seems you’re genuinely
concerned and care
about me.”
Todd was startled. Tears welled up in his eyes as he began, “Mr. Schmidt..
He had been with Jameson for eight years, first as a runner and now as a secretary.
Although his role had
changed, his status hadn’t. He remained a devoted subordinate.
Jameson was exceedingly shrewd and suspicious, maintaining a cold and guarded distance
from

everyone.
Over the years, men and women, except Alyssa, couldn’t get close to him. Nobody could
open up his
heart.
Todd didn’t have any close friends, so when Jameson addressed him as “Todd”, it
undoubtedly brought
them closer and made Todd feel like he was one of Jameson’s own. That moved him to
tears.
“Mr. Schmidt, health is your most important asset. You must take good care of yourself!”
“I’ll do anything for Lyse!*
Jameson took a deep breath as he mentioned Alyssa, and his typically cold gaze softened.
He said, “And
I also want to show Lyse that I can be someone willing to risk my life for her-it’s not just
Jasper.
In the future, when she needs help, she’ll think of me first instead of Jasper.”
The second sentence was intriguing.
Todd understood the implication and nodded with a serious look. “You’re right. How can a
man like Jasper, with a promiscuous and complicated life, deserve someone like Ms.
Alyssa?
“Ms. Alyssa is smart. She won’t fall into the same trap twice, will she?”
Jameson’s eyes grew colder. He didn’t respond.
At that moment, his phone, placed beside the pillow, vibrated.
He picked it up and checked the screen. But before he could respond, the ward’s door
opened.
“Jimmy, are you asleep?”
Upon hearing Alyssa’s voice, Jameson quickly hid the phone under his pillow and greeted
her with a warm
smile.
“Lyse, I told you not to worry about me. I’m fine.”
Alyssa entered the room and observed the man’s pale, fragile appearance, which
saddened her. /ter all,
he had become like this to save her.
“I’ve also said that I’ll take full responsibility for your injuries, Alyssa said as she walked up
to him with a
gentle tone.
Jameson’s heart warmed, and his eyes grew slightly teary.
“Ms. Alyssa, you also fell. Are you okay?” Todd had a keen eye, and he asked with concern.

“No big deal, I’m fine. I’m concerned about you, Jameson. You have a broken arm, cracked
ribs, and five external wounds. You need to be hospitalized. You need to rest,’ Alyssa
calmly reminded Jameson.
Alyssa had some minor scrapes on her, but she didn’t seem concerned.
Jameson chuckled lightly and said, “Lyse, I don’t need to be hospitalized. I know my body.”
“What’s with you men? Jasper, too, after such a major surgery, didn’t stay in the hospital!
Is the hospital haunted, or you can’t afford the hospital bills?”
Alyssa’s lips moved quickly as she spoke in a rapid-fire manner.
As she finished speaking, she suddenly froze, clenching her fingers tightly.
For some reason, she couldn’t help but think of Jasper. Thoughts of him often
overwhelmed her. She
couldn’t help it.
Jameson’s heart tightened as he fought against the jealousy woiling up. His pale lips
twitched as he said, Lyse, it looks like you really care about Mr. Beckett. You can think of
him anytime, anywhere. It’s clear that
he holds an important place in your heart.”
Alyssa took a deep breath and stared at him with a calm look. “Do you want to hear the
truth?”
Jameson’s chest tightened, and he pressed his lips together.
“He’s indeed important to me.”
