“Well, I just thought you might not be able to save me. I mean, you won’t be rescuing a

damsel in distress. You’ll just be adding to my troubles,” Alyssa made up an excuse.

She added, “Jasper has a different physique. He’s stronger than the average guy. He

stands a better chance of surviving the surgery. I might not have been successful in saving

you if you were injured, and I’d be burdened with guilt for the rest of my life.”

Jameson frowned, his heart sinking.

“Oh, by the way, welcome to Belbanks! Can I treat you to dinner tonight?” Alyssa

extended an invitation with a smile, not wanting his trip to Belbanks to be in vain.

“Lyse, come with me to Solana City. We’ll have dinner there,” he said, his eyes suddenly

brightening. “I’ll also bring you to a place you’ll love.”

After some consideration, she nodded. She wasn’t particularly keen on the place Jameson

had in mind. In

fact, she planned to return to Solana City to meet with Cyrus as they were investigating

the assailant

behind the attack on Lyla.

Since Alyssa insisted on treating Jameson to dinner, he accepted the offer and took her to

the restaurant

where they had first dined.

The atmosphere was light and cheerful, but Alyssa appeared troubled due to the issues on

her mind.

“Have you

you not resolved Madam Lyla’s issue?” Jameson wondered with concern as he took a sip of

tea.

“The attacker is still at the police station. He confessed to the crime,” she replied in a low

voice, gripping

her cup indignantly.

“Does the police know where to look into?”

His sudden question gave her an idea, and she asked, “Judging from your question, I

wonder if you have

any thoughts on this.”

He smiled and quickly tapped on his phone.

A notification sounded on her phone. Jameson had sent her photos of the attacker and his

background

Jameson explained while pouring her some tea, “This guy used to work on-site for TS

Network 20 years ago. He later became a stuntman. But a few years ago, he suffered a

left leg fracture in a filming incident

“Jimmy, that’s not how I see you.”

“I deeply regret arriving late, just after Jasper. If I had been there earlier, I could have

protected you, too,” he argued, his tone growing intense. Regrets gnawed at his soul.

“Wow, you totally shouldn’t! It was such a violent attack. You could have ended up with

head trauma,” she said, waving her hands at him.

Each time she met his gaze, an unsettling feeling overcame her. She said, ‘Jasper took the

blow for me. You should stay out of this.”

“Why him and not me? Do you genuinely believe only Jasper Beckett could protect you?”

he pressed, his voice taut with tension.

She leaned backward out of shock. “No, that’s not the case. I don’t want you to be hurt.

Why would you insist on taking the blow for me? You shouldn’t ever consider that, even if

it were to save me.”

A warmth enveloped Jameson, a sensation he hadn’t felt in a while. Gazing at her

tenderly, he asked, ” Lyse, you care about me, don’t you?”

Alyssa felt shaken. Jasper had often posed the same question after their divorce. Every

time, she’d chastise and mock him harshly. Despite that, she still felt a pang of pain deep

in her heart when he asked that question.

In contrast, she felt nothing when Jameson did the same, which was totally fine. It further

proved that Jasper meant more to her than Jameson.
