Alyssa's feet were now adorned with wounds, streaks of blood, and dried-up residue. His heart was on
the verge of shattering as he witnessed it.
"Lyse, I want to make you happy, but look at what I've brought you."
Closing his eyes, Jasper drew in a deep, audible breath, struggling to hide the tightness in his hoarse
throat.
Suddenly, his phone vibrated. It was a call from Ben.
Jasper rubbed his eyes as he stood up and went to the window to answer it. "Mr. Gorham, how is
Grandpa doing?"
"Mr. Newton is doing well. He misses Ms. Alyssa a lot, so he sleeps very late. Mr. Jasper, have you
found Ms. Alyssa? Mr. Newton asked about her before he went to bed." Ben sounded worried.
"I've found her. Tell Grandpa not to worry anymore when he wakes up. I will be by her side."
However, he didn't know how long he still had with her.

Ben felt guilty. He uttered with difficulty, "It's my fault. If I had told you earlier about Ms. Alyssa's
miscarriage, things wouldn't have turned out this way."
"This has nothing to do with you. I singlehandedly caused the tragedy today."
Jasper fell silent. He suddenly remembered something.
He recalled that three Christmases ago, he had embarked on a business trip to Mosgravia to oversee a
project.
When the car accident happened, it was daytime for him because of the time difference. There was no
way he would have missed the phone call.
"Mr. Gorham, I remembered you said Alyssa called previously, but I didn't answer." Jasper became
tense.
"Yes, you were the first person Ms. Alyssa called."
Ben sighed. "That incident is in the past. Plus, you are fine now. You shouldn't blame yourself. Your
position in the company wasn't stable at that point, so you were often away for work. You were so busy
every day that you didn't have time to eat. I'm sure you didn't mean to miss the call."
Suddenly, Jasper felt like he was struck by lightning. His shoulder shuddered.
He suddenly remembered!
He was working at the Beckett Group's branch in Mosgravia. Liana heard the news and wanted to drag
him to some party.
He was rushing for a meeting, so he rejected Liana. She threw a tantrum and threw his phone into the
fish tank. Jasper assumed that Alyssa must have made a distress call then.
Instantly, Jasper's gaze darkened.
"Mr. Jasper? Mr. Jasper? Why did you stop talking? Are you okay?" Ben asked worriedly.
At this moment, Jasper rested his hand on the window sill. His towering body gradually bent over inch
by inch, his mind on the verge of collapse.
Alyssa's high fever broke the next day. Jasper's worried heart had finally calmed down.

She opened her eyes, and the first thing she saw was the love of her life before her. She was so
excited that she nuzzled into his arms. The two lovebirds hugged each other with everything they had.
"Jasper, I'm not dreaming, am I?"
Alyssa looked at Jasper tearfully. Her hand reached to pinch his face until it started to redden. Most
people would pinch themselves to determine if it was a dream, but Alyssa pinched others. It was weird.
However, Jasper didn't feel any pain. He thought that he was the luckiest man alive. His hand caressed
her hair affectionately. "It's not a dream, Lyse. It's me. You can touch me again if you don't believe me."
"This is amazing!"
Alyssa charged into his arms once again. A surge of pain and uneasiness kicked in. She, who had
always been strong, wailed loudly.
She pinched him hard and cried really loud. Alyssa's body must have recovered well.
After a warm nuzzle, Jasper placed his lips close to her ear. He murmured in self-reproach, "I'm sorry,
Alyssa. I'm sorry. Once you're better, you can punish me all you want."
"Why? Why should I hit you?" Alyssa blinked. "Have you gotten yourself a mistress? Do you have
someone else now?"
