However, no matter how hard Lauren tried, Axel was faster than her. Axel stopped the door.

Lauren had exerted all her strength but still failed to close the gap.

Axel used to be close with Alyssa, but now it seemed as if she regarded him as a monster. He

observed her fear and guarded demeanor. He sighed deeply, furrowed his brow, and let out a wry

laugh.

"Don't hide from me, Lyse. I'm not here to take you back."

Jasper's gaze wavered. Alyssa was equally shocked. "Huh? Axel, what are you..."

"I've never wanted to separate both of you."

Axel had observed the struggles of this couple trying to stay together despite facing numerous

hardships. He had always felt uneasy.

"I sought you out to ensure your safety, to see that you're healthy and unharmed. Don't be afraid."

Axel's assurance hit Alyssa's heart.

Jasper was deeply moved, feeling a lump forming in his throat. He tightly pursed his lips. Things had

progressed to a point he never anticipated—someone from Alyssa's family was on his side and had

trusted him.

"Axel!" Alyssa went to Axel and hugged him.

Axel immediately returned the hug and stroked her hair. "Silly girl. You are such a silly girl. You jumped

from the fifth floor to escape. How would we continue to live on if something happened to you? I might

as well shave my head and be a monk."

"Lyse. You." Jasper's eyes widened as his body trembled.

"I'm still up and running. It's just five floors." Alyssa's nose started running. Deliberately, she wiped the

clear snot on Axel's black shirt.

"I know you too well! Whatever you set your mind to, it's unstoppable. Forget about the five-floor jump.

Remember when you wanted to jump out of the plane in Shelland Island?"

Axel's eyes filled with resentment. He used his tie to wipe her snot, almost as if he were comforting a

child. Alyssa was the only woman Axel was willing to lavish all his affection upon.

"Stop it with your nonsense!" Alyssa sniffled, her nose red. "Why would you want to be a monk when

I'm gone? Jasper should be the one to do it. He might as well do it if he was to be a widower."

As Landon arrived with a sense of urgency, he released a long sigh, appreciating the tranquil

atmosphere, and then enveloped Lauren in a comforting embrace.

"Oh, Landon! Did I misunderstand this person?" With an innocent expression, Lauren looked up, her

heart weighed down by guilt. "I thought he was a bad person."

"You're right. This man is not a bad person." He was the devil incarnate. All the malevolent souls

seemed to pave the way for him.

After Axel had comforted Alyssa, he looked coldly at Jasper before walking to him.

"Axel, thank you for giving me a chance," Jasper said hoarsely. Suddenly, everything before him turned

dark.

Axel's eyebrow twitched, and he swung his fist at Jasper, connecting squarely with his face.

"Jasper!"

"Axel! No!" Alyssa couldn't stop it even when she wanted to.

Jasper was unfazed and took the punch in.

However, with his fist half an inch away from Jasper's nose, Axel halted and sneered, "Don't think I'm

doing you a favor. I just don't want my sister to be upset. She just had to pick you, of all people. You're

naive to think I've forgiven you for every bad thing you had done."

It felt as if a heavy rock rested on Jasper's heart, causing a terrible ache. "I'm sorry. I know I deserve to

die for what I did, but thank you for not taking Lyse with you. It doesn't matter if it's temporary. As long

as I can be with her, I am satisfied with every extra minute and second I have with her."

Axel was startled. He slowly retracted his fists.

Impatiently, Alyssa returned to Jasper's side, intertwining her fingers with his and gripping them tightly.

"Okay, let's talk about something more uplifting."

Axel felt deeply for his sister and didn't want to be the bad guy. He softened his tone. "Lyse, I've found

the hideout of the woman who looks exactly like you."

The news Axel brought was the greatest gift for Alyssa and Jasper.
