Xavier stood in the corridor outside the patient room and glanced warily at the two lines of
guards
standing there. Their uniform posture and cold demeanor sent a chill down his spine.
The door to Jasper’s room flung open, followed by the heavy thud of military boots.
Liam showed up with a stoic expression while adjusting his beret. After years of strict
military training, he
was able to keep a poker face at any time.
The guards immediately performed a military salute.
“Let’s go,” Liam calmly ordered his men and whooshed past Xavier. The guards followed
suit, and peace
was restored in the corridor.
Xavier gaped at Liam’s handsome figure. He was charmed by Liam’s masculine and regal
air. Liam’s
presence made clear to him that some people were born to be special.
When he was spacing out, Jasper had exited the room with a dark expression and heavy

“Mr. Beckett, don’t push yourself. You’re not in the condition to be discharged!” Xavier
advised. He
wanted to lend Jasper a helping hand, only to be shoved away.
Jasper insisted, “No. Javier and Sophia will be suspicious of me if I don’t head back to the
company.
They’ll grab the chance to remove me. You cannot let anyone know about my
hospitalization and my-”
He started coughing violently after suppressing the bout of cough during his argument
with Liam.
The hollowness of the cough scared Xavier out of his skin as tears welled up in his eyes.
He pleaded, ”
Your health is more important than the Beckett Group and the presidency.”
“Don’t worry about it. I will survive. I’ve escaped many near-death experiences and
sustained multiple
injuries, but I’m still kicking.”
Jasper puffed his chest and took a deep breath. His eyes were burning in rage when he
replayed Liam’s
insult in his mind.
Liam had described him as a disgrace to the military.
That was so unfair.
Alyssa reserved a luxury lounge at KS World Hotel and served a feast for Liam’s farewell
dinner. Silas, Cyrus, and Tatiana, who were all working or studying in Solana City, had
joined the merry occasion. Every

Unfortunately, Silas, Cyrus, and Tatiana had to see Liam off at their first gathering after a
long time. They
were reluctant to let Liarn go. An emotional Alyssa even teared up and had a few more
drinks.
She struggled to comprehend her feelings at that moment. Of course, she was happy to
be with her
siblings, but the thought of Jasper left her frustrated.
Why would he fall for her?
Had he misattributed their comradery during the Crater Mountain Park incident to

he feel bad after learning that she was the girl he had saved 13 years ago?
Perhaps he was just a playboy. In the past, he was a sucker for bitches like Liana, and now,
he was into
cold beauties.
Alyssa smirked and let out a snort. It seemed that he had rebounced from Liana’s betrayal
quite fast. In
no time, he was going after his pretty ex-wife, who was like a new woman.
What a shameless scoundrel!
“Lyse, I heard you once again volunteered to be a park ranger at Crater Mountain Park.
They said you
almost fell off a cliff to save a hiker!”
Silas shuddered when he learned about Alyssa’s latest life update from Jonah. He gave her
a tight and
warm hug, and he refused to let go.
He scolded her playfully, “You little brat! Do you want to give me a heart attack? If
anything bad happens
to you, I won’t want to live either!”
