NovelEnglishAlyssa was still unconscious. Despite feeling drained, both physically and emotionally, Winston refused to leave her side until she
had regained consciousness.
Nevertheless, his heart was filled with a plethora of gut-wrenching emotions. Afraid of losing control of himself before his family
members, he walked to the balcony on his own and silently wiped away his tears while braving the chill winds.
He had been a strong man all his life. It was extremely rare for him to shed a tear. Yet, each the teared up, it was because of
Alyssa and her mother.
"Mr. Taylor." A crisp and pleasant voice sounded from behind him.
Winston quicklyposed himself, swallowing back the tears, and turned around to see Justin. His gaze becguarded, distant,
but he masked it swiftly.
He nodded at him and said, "Mr. Justin, | know you're not in the best of health. The winds here are cold; it would be better if you
went back inside and rested."
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt"Mr. Taylor," Justin began, his voice sincere, "My younger brother made a rash decision yesterday. He rushed to Skydon City to find
a woman who meant a great deal to him. He missed his appointment with Ms. Alyssa because of it, and for that, | want to
apologize on his behalf."
Justin's eyes contained a sincerity and an eagerness that he had never shown before. "I have found the best specialist in the
country to treat Ms. Alyssa. Whether it's her frostbite or other medical conditions, | will do my best to ensure she is cured."
"Thank you for the kind gesture, Mr. Justin. But our family can still afford to hire doctors, so we shall not trouble you."
Winston turned Justin down without any hesitation. Right after that, he let out a calm and relieved smile.
"After knowing Jasper for such a long time, this is the first tI've heard about him rushing to a different city, especially for a
woman. | suppose that woman is someone who's really important to him. My guess is that she is someone who has once saved his
life or has been through life and death with him."
Justin paused. He was just about to speak when Winston clapped back at him.
"The fact that he chose to see that woman instead of meeting my daughter shows that he does not only think about love. Rather,
he is apassionate person who values his friendships too. If | were in his shoes, | would have made the sdecision as him
and gone to meet the woman too."
Winston fixed his eyes on Justin's face, which had turned a little pale. He smirked slightly and continued, "Plus, | heard from Mr.
Lynch that Jasper had sent a message to Lyse saying that something hade up for him at the last minute.
"He also tried calling her, but she didn't receive his call. Subsequently, Lyse hiked up the mountain on her own and ended up in
danger due to her stubbornness. She was just acting ridiculously again.
"Let this experience be a lesson for her so that she will learn from it. No one could spoil and pamper her unconditionally her entire
life."
"So, you don't have to apologize on your brother's behalf. | understand Jasper's character, so | don't blhim."
Justin forced a smile. "I feel better knowing that this is what you think."
Winston gave him a cryptic look before marching off without as much as a back glance.
Suddenly, Justin's expression turned grim. A formidable look cacross his dark eyes, as if he was ready to crush everything in

After all that meticulous planning, he miscalculated one thing—he'd underestimated the deep and unconditional trust Winston had
toward Jasper.
In the underground parking lot, Sheryl pushed Justin toward his luxurious MPV.
"Mr. Justin, Remy is waiting for you at the manor. He has been shot in his shoulder and is wounded quite badly. His car is also
beyond repair."
Justin's face waspletely frigid. Even Sheryl could feel the air of coldness around him. She couldn't hide the nervousness on her
face.
"Justin."
Both Justin and Sheryl were startled to hear Jasper's husky voice. Thereafter, they turned around.
Justin's and Jasper's eyes met. It was as if they were about to engage in closebat.
"There's something I'd like to ask you."
