Chapter 479
After Jasper left, Alyssa helped the paralyzed Sean back to her office.
She carefully laid his trembling body on the couch, her forehead damp with sweat and her
lips pressed together in concentration. She began examining him like a skilled physician.
“Ms. Alyssa, I’m fine…” Sean managed to move slightly despite being paralyzed. Tears
welled up in his eyes as he witnessed Alyssa’s genuine concern. “I’m sorry for the
trouble.”
“Don’t be ridiculous! You were trying to protect me, but you should avoid acting recklessly
in the future,”
she replied, leaning in to gently massage his legs.
“I wasn’t being reckless.” Sean summoned all his strength to sit up on the couch. His eyes
sparkled with determination as he swore, “If it ever happens again, I’ll still choose to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtprotect you.”
“Sean Lynch, you shouldn’t expose yourself to unknown dangers just because you think
you have some
chops.
“You’re no match for Jasper at all! Did you think he wasted four years in military school for
nothing?”
Alyssa yelled at him out of worry.
She added, “He went easy on you today. He might have done something far worse if you
weren’t my
employee!”
“So what? I don’t mind risking my life.” Sean clenched his teeth, unsteadily rising to his
feet and towering over the petite Alyssa. “Even if it came to that, I’d never let him bully
you!”
“Sean …” Her eyes widened in shock as they gazed into his misty eyes. Tears streamed
down his face, but
he remained unaware due to his paralysis.
“Oh God, why are you crying again? Are you a three-year-old?” Feeling bitter, she jokingly
attempted to
wipe his tears away.
Suddenly, he gathered his courage and pulled her into a hug, wrapping his arms around
her waist. He pressed a hand on her back, as if he wished to become one with her.
Her eyes wavered. She wasn’t oblivious to the feelings in his hug. She gave him a light
shove and said,
Sean, let go. We can always talk.”
“Ms. Alyssa, I’m willing to be punished for what I did to you.” Sean’s face was tear-stained.
He knew he was pathetic. He was begging for her sympathy. He was outraged and

However, Alyssa wasn’t a soft-hearted woman. She firmly poked his chest with a stern
look in her eyes, causing him to lose his balance and slump back onto the couch.
“Sean, I understand you didn’t have bad intentions. I won’t punish you for what
happened,” she said, her
expression complex.
With an unfeeling tone, she continued, “Starting tomorrow, take a week off and have a
good rest at home.”
“Ms. Alyssa…” Astonished, he felt a crippling pain rising in him.
“You’re too tense, which explains your moodiness. Take that week to relax and manage
your emotions.
After that, think about how you plan to work alongside me.”
