Can't Win Me Back



Chapter 2286

The only time Alyssa had ever become soft-hearted and gave her all was because of Jasper.

The color drained from Jasper's face slowly. His charming eyes were deep and dark, and they carried complex emotions within them.

With a gloomy gaze, Justin bent forward and picked up the bouquet of flowers on the ground. He maneuvered his wheelchair to the side of the tea table and placed the lilies into the vase, stalk by stalk.

"It's a pity to throw this away. They look pretty nice." With his back against Jasper and Alyssa, his lips turned upward into an obscure smile.

Seeing that Alyssa had closed her eyes, Jasper said in a husky voice, "Rest well, then."Property © NôvelDrama.Org.

Upon saying that, he turned around and walked toward the door mechanically.

"Jasper," Alyssa called out to him.

He stopped in his tracks but did not turn around.

"From today onward, let's go our separate ways. We'll no longer have anything to do with one another."

Alyssa curled her fingers around her blanket so tightly that she could almost tear through it. Her voice, however, was frigid and resolute. She continued, "You don't have to force yourself to see me. Neither will I see you again."

As Jasper made his way out of the hospital ward, he couldn't really feel the ground he was walking on. Everything felt unreal.

His headache got worse with every throb. His vision was blurry for a moment and then clear the next.

"Let's go our separate ways."

Alyssa's merciless words kept ringing in his ear, bringing forth a pain that spread through his nerves. His head became covered in cold sweat.

"Hey, Jasper."

A warm voice came from behind him. Jasper stopped in his tracks and looked back.

Justin came before him in his wheelchair. He smiled slightly and said, "I'd like to chat with you privately."

Jasper tightened his fists. Forcing himself to hold back the pain he was experiencing, he answered, "Sure." The Beckett brothers got to the rooftop.

The afternoon sun shone brightly. However, the fact that it was winter meant that the biting winds still invaded their collars and sleeves.

Jasper came from a military background. Although physically fit and strong, even he could feel the chills around

now.

"Ah... The air in Solana City feels great. Ultimately, coming home still feels the best."

Justin took a deep breath. However, he ended up coughing softly a few times, perhaps due to choking on the cold air. His face turned a little pale.

"Justin, what did you want to talk to me about?"

Jasper's dark eyes gazed into the distance. "It's too windy here. It's not good for your health. You should look after yourself."

Justin pressed his hands against his chest. "Jasper, do you still care for me?"

"Of course I do."

Jasper paused. In a deep voice, he added, "Back then, you sacrificed yourself so that I could escape. It was because of that that I was safe. I will never forget your kind deed."

Justin frowned. He let out a chuckle. 'Is it just a kind deed to you? Is there no brotherly love between us?" Jasper pursed his lips. "When I was young, other than Grandpa, you treated me the best."

"I'm not trying to guilt trip you. I just hope that my sudden return this time won't make you feel troubled. Our relationship as brothers can still be the same as before."

Justin sighed softly. In a sincere voice, he explained, "Even though we're not born of the same mother, you are still my biological brother. I have never considered doing anything that would harm you."

With a frigid expression on his face, Jasper replied, "Justin, since we're biological brothers, you can just be straightforward with me. You don't have to beat around the bush."

A gust of chilling, bone-piercing wind blew across them.

"Jasper, it's really such a pity that your story with Ms. Alyssa has come to an end."

Justin looked up at Jasper. He enunciated his words well as he asked, "Would you mind if I wanted to start something with her?"
