Can't Win Me Back

Chapter 2184

The heavy atmosphere in the living could almost crush everyone to death. Even the air felt as cold as ice.Nôvel(D)ra/ma.Org exclusive © material.

"Calm down, Jasper!" Jonah was extremely panicked over losing contact with Alyssa. However, as the oldest of the Taylor siblings, he could only force himself to remain composed. He went up to Jasper and helped to support him physically.

Jonah quickly added, "Don't lose your head. None of us should. We need to figure out where Lyse might have gone and find her quickly."

Cyrus's chest tightened, but he managed a reassuring tone. "Jonah's right, Jasper. Don't panic. We're all here-

"You all have your loved ones safe and sound, but my Lyse has vanished!" Jasper's eyes were a terrifying shade of bloodshot as he roared in anguish, "Lyse is my heart, as precious to me as my own life."

"If anything happens to her... If anything happens to her..." Jasper's voice faltered, and he was cut off by a sudden, searing pain that struck his head. The world darkened before him, and his powerful frame felt as though it could crumble under the strain.

Alyssa's desperate cries echoed in his mind, her image reaching out to him from the icy void. "Jasper... Jasper! Help me... Please save me!*

"Lyse..." Jasper reached out with a trembling hand, his body wracked with pain and overwhelmed by the boiling blood coursing through him. Just as he was about to grasp Alyssa, she was pulled away into a dark abyss, her screams fading into silence.

"Lyse... Lyse!" Jasper yelled out hysterically. He was in so much pain that he couldn't focus his gaze. Despite their shared history of facing countless dangers, he had never lost control like this before. Their deep connection intensified his fear of losing her forever.

He had a strong feeling that something terrible was about to happen. Content belong to NôvelDráma. Org.

Miley had never seen Jasper like this. She was dumbfounded. With her hair looking unkempt and her face looking pale, all she could do was cry.

Not only her, but everyone else in the Taylor family had never seen Jasper like this.

Jonah, aware of Jasper's past brain surgery performed by Alyssa, realized this emotional upheaval had triggered a physical reaction. He hadn't had any issues in a long time. The Taylor brothers gently laid Jasper on the couch, and Jeremy summoned a private physician.

'Mr. President, Mr. Beckett appears to be in shock due to extreme stress," the doctor reported, his voice laced with concern. "It would be better to take him to the hospital to get checked out. After all, as Mr. Jonah Taylor mentioned earlier, Mr. Beckett has had an open brain surgery in the past. So, this is not something to be taken lightly."

"Miley, don't cry... Don't cry...". Jeremy comforted Miley, wrapping her in a hug. "You need to tell us everything that happened. We need all the details to find Lyse."

"Lyse... She... She..." Miley's voice was choked with tears as she recounted the story.

Jonah and Cyrus didn't blame her.

For one, she was already falling apart from her self-reproach. Second, Alyssa left the presidential office building on her own accord. Not only did she intentionally send Miley away, but she also lied to the guard on duty.

Alyssa was a master of artful escapes. If she truly wanted to leave, the presidential office would be no match for her determination.

"The Third Eye tracked Alyssa's car up to the east side of the West City district, but then it lost her trail...". Miley's voice was barely audible through her tears.

"Why didn't you contact me sooner, Miley?" Jeremy's voice had become hoarse from all his anxiousness.

"You were attending an important event at the time. Jasper, Jonah and the others were on a challenging mission to wipe out criminals and rescue a hostage.."

Miley lowered her head in remorse once again. "I didn't want to shake any of you up. I was thinking that with the Third Eye... I would be able to locate Lyse. But..."

Everyone fell into silence.

"Lyse... Why did she.... leave the presidential office building alone?" Jasper stammered. His face had gone pale. However, he regained some clarity of mind and was now slightly calmer.

"I'm not sure... Oh, right!"

Miley, still in Jeremy's arms, straightened her back suddenly. She wiped away her tears. "When I brought Lyse to the flower garden to pick flowers, she answered a phone call!

"She spoke with that person for quite a while with her back against me. I felt that it was strange at that time, so asked her about it. But she still smiled at me and assured me that it was fine. Now that I think about it... I was too dumb and too oblivious!"

A phone call?

All four men in the room were stunned. Jasper's back broke out in a cold sweat.
